Teams by Sections : 1A- 6 , 2A- 7 , 3A- 7 , 4A- 7 , 5A- 8 , 6A- 6 , 7A- 8 , 8A- 7 * I have a question as-to why would the MSHSL add Chisago Lakes Area (this year A) to Section 7A , making that section into 8 teams instead of adding them to section 6A who only has 6 Teams. Section 6A is alot closer ...

[/quote] Its an impossible task to judge solely by stats. There are so many variables. Easy or difficult competition, number of quality players on a team, defense or forward, team style of play, etc. Essentially it comes down to beauty being in the eye of the beholder. Thankfully in MSHSL there are ...

[quote="joehockey"]http://www.mghca.com/test/general/teampage.php?team_id=64 Is Hopkins 19-3-1 Minnesota Scores or 18-3-2 MGHCA? Minnesota Scores has the Hopkins - GRG game as 5-4 win for Hopkins - MGHCA has 4-4 since after 1 overtime is was tied. Should be a great game tonight Roseville v...

I've noticed that the KRACH rankings closely resemble the LPH poll (which is the only one that uses eyewitness observation and common sense). But the QRF is really whacked. The formula for success in QRF seems to be: it doesn't matter if you win or lose, just keep the losses close, and when you win...

Samantha Downey - PMH - Silver Bay - Minnesota Gophers


Live your Dream - Your hard Work has brought you your Reward!!!!!

They do? What about all of the teams that are labled as Independents? MSHSL requires Confer. Placement? I would think that Conferences are independent of the MSHSL, they have the power to accept or reject any team. I agree they were orginally set-up so that teams in a given area or section would be...

(AA or A) * I'll use Rankings over a Poll - can't verify LPH voting. Tuesday, January 13 Irondale (18AA) 3 vs. Blake (2A) 2 - late win (3rd) Minnetonka (6AA) 4 vs. Edina (5AA) 2 - take-in a chance Blaine (16AA) 2 vs. Maple Grove (13AA) 3 - coin flip, sorry Blaine! Roseville (1AA) 4 vs. Mounds View (...

we already do "combo" teams, (North Metro, Grand Rapids/Greenway, Duluth, Proctor/Hermantown, Cloquet/Esko/Carlton, Brainerd/Little Falls ect... and those are all AA schools) . Just a note: These would be All A Schools in not combined - Greenway,Proctor,Hermantown,Esko,Carlton,Brainerd,Li...

The same match-ups, but using Ranking and Rating instead of a Poll. (there are some of us who don't consider LPH Poll as a actuate #) *rankings in bold Tuesday, January 6 Roseville (1AA) (2AA) vs. Stillwater (3AA) (3AA) Eastview (20AA) (17AA) vs. Duluth N. Stars (9AA) (10AA) Warroad (1A) (3A) vs. Ea...

It would be nice to see the new QRF ratings now that most of the Holiday Tourneys are all over, lots of changes should happen. Any idea when this will occur?

Good Luck to All the Teams in 2009

I think silver Bay will start creeping in the A polls soon. They tied Duluth and beat Cloquet last week. A 1 BLAKE 2 Warroad 3 Roseau 4 Breck 5 Silver Bay Record 7-1-1 6 Crookston/Red Lake 7 Mankato West 8 Mound Westonka 9 South St. Paul 10 Northfield This is an accurate placement #5 for Silver Bay...

Silver Bay 3, Cloquet 1 :shock: ??????? Why is this Shocking? Silver Bay(7-1-1) is 3-1-1 against AA Schools. This includes Shakopee, Superior, Duluth (Tied - S.B up 2-0 in 3rd) and now Cloquet (who scored with 40 sec. left). Not just luck. A Very Good Team. Great Goalie in Lexi Warnecke and Defensiv...

As to the thread's original question, I think the reasons why AA gets more publicity are: 1. They are bigger schools, and there are more of them, so they naturally have bigger followings. 2. Any A-sized school can choose to move up to AA, and some of the better ones (like Hill-Murray, BSM and Holy ...

A very good year for alot of the Northern teams, from AA to A! AA GRG #2 Duluth #10 PHM #11 Cloquet #12 A Warroad #2 Alexandria #3 (I'll say "kinda-north central) Roseau #5 Hibbing #7 Crookston #8 Silver Bay #10 A very competitive scheduling of games this year, with a great mix of top southern ...

Not sure if this is the answer, but my guess is how QRF assesses game results based not only on wins and losses, but scoring differential. I believe a couple of blowout wins or losses or an overall trend of close games, can affect the ranking to a significant degree under this model, as can scoring...

AA Rankings: January 28, 2008 1 Eden Prairie (21-1-1) 122.8 2 Grand Rapids/Greenway (19-3-2) 114.7 3 Edina (15-6-2) 112.2 4 Holy Angels (18-4-0) 110.4 5 Roseville (18-3-2) 110.0 6 Stillwater Area (19-2-2) 107.1 7 Hopkins (19-3-2) 103.8 8 Centennial (18-4-0) 99.7 9 White Bear Lake (13-7-3) 97.4 10 D...

The QRF rankings have nothing to do with the section rankings. I would guess many coaches have never even heard of or know about the QRF. They rank teams based on wins/losses, strength of schedule, head to head competition and common opponents. I would guess in most sections the majority of the tea...

Another pipe-shot for me : Tuesday, January 29 Cloquet 3 vs. Hibbing/Chisholm 1 Centennial 3 vs. Elk River 1 Hopkins 4 vs. White Bear Lake 2 Moorhead 1 vs. Bemidji 4 Edina 3 vs. Minnetonka 2 Thursday, January 31 Proctor/Hermantown/Duluth Marshall 3 vs. Cloquet 1 Eastview 2 vs. Eagan 3 Benilde-St. Ma...

Just an update: Sam Downey is currently in the top 5 in N. Minn. scoring with 40 pts. and ahead of both Arola (38pts) and Lundquist (33pts). I will still say she at the level of the other girls listed. All of them are top players and having a great year, working hard toward the section playoffs. Go...

Just a quick
I coached against Grand Rapids and Greenway (youth hockey) prior to combining and I am trying to remember who the Greenway girls are on the GRG roster this year.

IMO Samantha (Sam) Downey of Silver Bay, gets no press or publicity, easily at the level of the girls listed above. Power, Speed, and a great Team Player. She is pretty good, but not quite as good as the girls listed. Just an update: Sam Downey is currently in the top 5 in N. Minn. scoring with 40 ...
