Interesting posts regarding Brainerd's lack of consistency from the Bantam program to the Varsity level. So why would it have been different? Would the Brainerd Varsity boys have been better prepared if the Bantam coach would have complied and prepared them for the Varsity concept? Who is in charge...

I just think that the program really needs to get on the same page at every level from squirts on up. Maybe not as complex in squirts but the bantam team should be running the same system as the high school team. That would work if both coaches bought into the same system. From what I saw, Henry's ...

What I don't get is why Brainerd could dominate the 1st, and then lay an egg the rest of the way. The shots were almost 2-1 in favor of Brd, and most of LF shots weren't very good opportunities I didn't think. It was like two totally different teams came out for the 2nd and 3rd. Sorry if I got the ...

I want to hear from some of warrior fans about your coach. It seemed like the warrior players were totally uninspired to play the second and third periods. What do you guys think of him up there in B-town? I don't know if your going "fishin" or not but I'll bite anyways... He's a great gu...

I'd like you to show a guote on this thread where anyone from Brainerd claimed that got screwed in regions or were being "sore losers". What's done is done and we're all on the same team now....We want the North to take the Championship! Let's not resort to bashing the other Northern teams...

I'm with Elliot on Bemidji winning the first round. After that, I think is too optimistic. I may be joining you for the crow feast, pucktime!

Bemidji's goalie should be ranked one of the best. He is the ONLY reason that team is in the state tourney.

The North will be well represented at State. Good luck to both teams!

Elliott, I would have to agree with your picks possibly adding GR to the mix going to state. It'd be great to see our Warriors go but it sounds as though they're not playing very good right now. Anything is possible. A battle between GR, Bemidji, Roseau is brewing and you can't look past the Spuds....

What were the results for the Peewee A district 15 tourney?

What's the VFW website address?

Chris Smeja and Bren Smith from Brainerd are very fast!

I predict Grand Rapids and Brainerd out of the North.

Does anyone know if Brainerd won the district in Bantam A? Will the district tourney be a single or double elimination tourney and what will the brackets look like?

EP might be the best bantam A tema in the state. But if they played up north every weekend they will get challenged and even lose games. Drive from Grand Rapids to Warroad - play a game then to Roseau that night and play again. The next weekend drive from Bemidji to Brainerd and play and then to Mo...

What's lame is thinking a team like EP would waste their time playing not 1 , but 2 games with a team they didn't feel would be competitive! Give the Brainerd, boys some credit, Boblee. I hear the matchup was great hockey! You're not still bitter because GR lost to Brainerd, are you?

Amen!

Nobody is unbeatable! The North is looking for an upset.[/quote]

The teams that are REALLY good don't need to come on the forum, they get the job done on the ice! You don't see EP, Cenntennial, etc. talking about how great they are. Actions speak louder than words, boys!

Who gave Brainerd a chance at winning the Moorhead tourney? If they have their game on, they could give #1 a good battle!

I wasn't at the game, but I wouldn't think you could call a 33-33 shots a total domination. It sounds like maybe Moorhead head better goaltending in this one?

Agreed and Moorhead certainly shouldn't be in the top 10.

I do hope that these 2 teams do face each other later in and entertain us with another great Bantam hockey game! You can tell that both teams are very well coached.

Brainerd wins their home tourney

Brainerd 4
Buffalo 0

Brainerd 7
Cloquet 3

Brainerd 1
Grand Rapids 0

If GR is that Solid and complete, then why are they so inconsistant? They've had some nice victories as well as unexpected losses. I don't think GR should bank on getting out of districts and/or regions until they back-up all the hype with consistent wins.
