Most of the team was very disserving of the honor, but what about any individual from the consolation side of the tourney? I thought that Ness and the other Roseau player didn’t deserve it; I’m not saying that they aren’t good players. Ness is easily the best in the state (Mr. Hockey) but if he play...

thats not what the pioneer press said, it states:

ST. THOMAS ACADEMY CADETS

Section: 4A

Coaches: Tom Vannelli and Greg Vannelli

Enrollment: 1,082

So today in the pioneer press there was a preview for the state tourney. and within giving info on each team, it listed the enrollemnt of each school. i saw that st. thomas had over 1,000 students enrolled. does this make anyone else upset? they are still considered class A whent he enrollment is th...

yeah it is awesome. it sells out

well it sells out for AA, A is another story. they just hope to fill the bottom bowl.

BSM has Ken Pauly behind the bench. He is possibly one of the best game coaches around. He has 2 A Champs to his credit and took a average Minnetonka team to the AA tournament 2 years ago. BSM 4 Royals 2 sorry but i'd rather have bolin behind the bench. one of the top coaches in the state, no quest...

1. Hill goes 2 and out for a second straight year!!! (I loved seeing hill players on the ice crying last year after losing 2 in a row)

2. Private Schools and the green monster go down!!!

3. This leaves for a Roseau vs. Woodbury final. (Rematch of last years quarterfinals)

and Woodbury played their backup goalie in the Blake, Andover, and Hopkins game this is the playoffs, everything from the season is thrown out. look at woodbury last year when they beat hill murray and only lost to edina by 1. if they would've played either of those teams in the middle of the team ...

i would love to see hill lose again this year but its probably not going to happen. they got the best draw out of all the teams, look for them to have an easy win before the loss to Roseau.

Benilde 5-2. Woodbury lost to Blake, Hastings, Andover and Hopkins, all teams that Benilde would beat. this is true, however most of those losses occurred in the middle of the season when woodbury was plagued by injuries. they beat hastings 6-0 the second time they played them and are the hottest t...

congrats to woodbury on the dominating performace. will people finally give this team the respect they deserve. even after the year they had, they are not ranked in the top 10. also congrats to wes bolin, in my mind he is one of the top coaches in the state and he well deserves to be considered for ...

i agree with that, anyone know how many people are enrolled at STA? the should double whatever it is and if they are still considered to be in class A keep them there but if not move them up. i dont know why this has never been an issue before. measuring by total enrollment is a stupid way of decidi...

if they can compete with AA, then why dont they when it really matters, in playoffs!! especially a private school, c'mon. step up and switch to AA and then see how your team matches up in the playoffs. there's no comparison between A and AA. they should play all their games at mariucci where they co...

i dont think anyone will be able to beat woodbury in the playoffs, no one will prepare their kids as good as Bolin will for woodbury. he has done wonders for that program in 3 years. brought them from a bottom of the barrel team to section semis 1st year, section finals 2nd year, state tournament 3...

easily the coliseum. its packed at both the semifinals and finals. and it host several sections. good place to go to watch some good hockey no matter who you're a fan of.

who cares anyway, its class A. play with the real men at AA! STA should make the jump like Roseau did if they're so good. they dont even fill the bottom bowl of the xcel, i'd rather play in front of 18,000.

i dont think anyone will be able to beat woodbury in the playoffs, no one will prepare their kids as good as Bolin will for woodbury. he has done wonders for that program in 3 years. brought them from a bottom of the barrel team to section semis 1st year, section finals 2nd year, state tournament 3r...

this section is possibly the worst section i've ever seen. they should all just hang up their skates now cuz whoever makes it to the big show is going to go 2 and out. i dont know why they didn't send rosemount or a team like that to that section whent they remade them last year. instead we have a b...

this section is out there for anyone to take. there are 4 or 5 teams that could come out of it but i like a final between rosemount and woodbury with woodbury winning it. they're the only team that has players who've been made the playoff run before, even though their top 3 defenders are sophomores....

yeah zwieg isn't playing anywhere this year...as far as i know he's done with hockey at a competative level.

how has anyone not said Bolin from woodbury. State high school coach of the year last year, and well deserved. He's turned the woodbury program around from being one of the worst programs to having potential to compete year after year. Took his kids to section finals 2 years ago before losing to the...

why is there even a thread about this game. tartan is terrible, they have no chance to win unless hill would play their jv team. and then it'd still be a close game. tartans only wins this year have come against crappy teams. stop trying to hype them up Garret Larson

anoka was overrated... i'm glad ER took it to them and finally showed everyone they aren't as good as everyone says they are

stillwater will give up more than 3...they gave up 5 to woodbury who doesn't have an offense like CDH. look for this one to be close at the start but then CDH to dominate late in the game

roseville will blow by the bears with their speed but still give up a goal or two with their shaky defense.... roseville 5 blake 2

i'm looking forward to the 2AA section finals with CDH (defending state champs) vs Woodbury...it was a good game last year with CDH winning by a goal and its going to be even a better game this year with the seasons both CDH and Woodbury are having
