Two men decide to go ice fishing. They find a likely spot and start to drill a hole. A booming voice comes down from above, "There's no fish there." Startled, they move to another spot only to hear the same voice, "There's no fish there." They move to a third spot and the same th...

Only if you don't have a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP BANNER hanging in your arena. Not "AA" not "A"..... STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. Get a life.

Runner up means you didn't win.

Somebody on here made a comment about the Cullen years and the class involved with Moorhead hockey. I couldn't agree more. Terry Cullen was an assistant coach in Roseau before he ended up in Moorhead. Roseau wouldn't even acknowledge Moorhead as a conteder until Mr. Cullen went to Moorhead after Fer...

hate to bring up the financial aspect - but it is important to this topic. High School coaches don't make a lot of money - many are also teachers - so not huge incomes their either. These summer training programs help them supplement thier incomes, and thereby enable them to coach during the winter...

I've seen some ESPN coverage of this. Boston, Pittsburgh, Chapel Hill I think, Lawrence. If it is about pro and college Edina has no shot. If Edina has no shot it isn't looking too good for Gilbert, International Falls, and Roseau. Not even if John Harris wins this week on the Senior Tour. Edina wi...

The arena attendant would walk very slowly to the other end to clean it up in the middle of the period. The zamboni never got the chance.

You also had to stop checking in the middle of the game because they would lay there for 5 minutes and get up laughing and high fiving in the box.

I knew you had to walk under the bleachers to get to the locker rooms and back. I meant off the rubber mats. You know... where all the light bulbs were broken. Right before the alley that led to Stu's Northland Tap. It wouldn't have been so bad, but they always picked on the small guys like the Brot...

I never did go under the bleachers, however, we always had to walk out of the locker rooms in groups, so we didn't get jumped on the way out.

You could barely see the ice in the east end when looking down through all the conduit for the lights.

Actually, the old Warroad arena and Roseau Memorial weren't much alike besides the general shape of the building. The logs in the old garden ceiling weren't even peeled. Bark was still falling to the ice in the 80's. It was dark in there and dirty. Roseau Memorial had a finished ceiling and ceiling ...

You could always tell when their dad gave them money. They both would have black eyes. He would give it to one of them and tell him to give the other half the money. Well....it usually ended up in a death match. They would fight to near exhaustion and when they had enough, they would go split the mo...

Kittson Central has a JV. No bantams. They cut the bantams and made them JV. Now there are 8th graders playing against juniors.

I saw Roseau's jazz band at a jazz clinic in January and about half the band were wearing Roseau Rams Hockey jackets. Most of them are on the baseball and football team, as well.

Z and the Cat are classic. Jack Swanson was awesome until he left to become the voice of the Wisconsin Badgers.

I can see your point. My point is Roseau is a good team and it doesn't matter who they play. You still have to win. Teams that win all or most of the one goal games they play in are usually pretty good teams. Roseau has had quite a few 1 goal games this year. I wouldn't write them off because of who...

I've played a little bit. Didn't Roseau play pretty much the same schedule last year? I'll bet the schedule was similar in 1999 and 1990. Warroad I hate to say it plays a very similar schedule and they've had some recent success. Stephen/Argyle Central has won 5 straight 9 man football championships...

Oliver also coached and won a state football championship at Dylworth/Gyndon/Felton High School. He has success wherever he goes. Must do something right. I can't believe nobody commented on the spelling of GENIOUS earlier in the thread. You guy usually run with that stuff right away. I'm just curio...

Dion Hebel-Middlebro Manitoba. Lived with WHS AD. Glen Damota-Chicago, IL. Never played for Warroad. Played 1 year for Warroad JV. Parents move to area next season. Glen falls in love with Broten girl, parents settle in Roseau.... Didn't the Hasbargen's come from Indus or Baudette? Niklaus Axelsson ...

Roseau NHL: Mike Baumgartner, Dale Smedsmo, Earl Anderson, Neal Broten, Aaron Broten, Paul Broten, Butsy Erickson, Josh Olson, Dusty Byfuglien.

Warroad: Al Hangslaben (Actually from Swift.), Henry Boucha, Dave Christian.

Did I miss anyone?

The most effective coaches are the ones kids trust and believe. Whether they are being yelled at, grabbed by the front of the shirt, steel fingered or cuddled. If the kids believe in the coach they will learn. Roseau had one Peewee coach for over 40 years. State titles, national runner up. He will b...

With all the TV coverage, why would you need a rink that seats more than 1800? The Cities faithful could stay in the metro area and not have to deal with the dangerous part of the state north of St. Cloud. There's lots of them thar trees up nort and not a whole lot of dem humans. They would truly le...

Roseau. Spotted Edina to 6 goal lead and come back to beat them in 3rd period in Roseau Memorial, January 1981. State tournament in St. Paul... Move it up North and make the Cities teams travel 8 hours by bus and stay in a motel instead of at home in their own beds and I'll bet the trophy NEVER leav...

I'm NOT QUITE old enough to claim to have seen some of these guys but their reputations and Ram Lore are enough for me. How many do you need? Rube "The Masked Marvel" Bjorkman "Doc" Harris and his sons John & Robbie Austin Wallestad Dickie Johnson Dave Wensloff Richard Roth ...

Dustin is getting a lot of good advice from people who know the ins and outs of the pro game. His mother's significant other is a former pro. He's done very well for himself. You had to graduate to play in the alumni games? There are people in the pictures from the first alumni games who never even ...

Clear boards in Civic Center. How high the seats went in the far end of the CC when coming out of the tunnel from the locker rooms. The announcers voice when calling your name. How big a TV camera is when it's 3 feet from your face and you don't know whether to smile or look away. Hitting the pipe i...

First goal against Lake of the Woods. Last against Grand Rapids.
