Raider fans are usually good, the only problem was that the colisium is huge and they only have a few amazing fans instead of a lot of pretty good ones. Also there were a lot of stupid freshmen and sophomores taking up space and acting to cool to chant. There was a small read in the pioneer press a few days back about the raider hockey fans, i don't think white bear can say that. If this game were at Aldrich we could have heard better and they could have got in the players' heads a little more.Agree with WBML that Roseville has crappy students and fans. From watching 3AA games over the years, both Roseville & Centennial fans don't know how to act. They don't show up unless their team is favored to win. When they do, they would rather taunt the other school than cheer for their own. I think the jeers and taunts are fine. 'Warm up the bus', 'hey, hey, good bye', 'public school', etc., etc. are pretty harmless and fun.
5 years ago Roseville's students were awful at the state tournament and acted like idiots as they were losing to Holy Angels in the semis. Since then they have failed to show for section games. This year Roseville is good again, the fans showed up last night, but acted like asses as they lost to WBL. Same with Centennial. 3 years ago as their team won the section, going to their first state tournament, instead of cheering for their players, they were busy doing taunts at HM even while their team was receiving medals. I'm looking for more of the same crap tonight.
I will give White Bear that the fans were better last night and some of those signs were awesome:
23+15+27=1/1000 hansen
Dorr is shut
Dorr for Ms. Hockey
Even though I strongly disagree with all of those signs, and ms. hockey was already chosen, White Bear fans out played roseville last night, but not the rest of the season
