Roseau @ Grand Forks Tournament
Does anyone know the teams that are playing in this on the 21st and 22nd of this month? Are the North Dakota teams any good this year?
Roseau plays Grand Forks Central at REA, 5:30 12/21.
Bloomington Jefferson plays Grand Forks Red River at REA after the first game.
Both losers play the next day at 5:00, followed by both winners.
Red River is 5-0. Grand Forks Central is 5-1. Bloomington Jefferson is 6-1. We'll see how good they are come next weekend. In other words, other than Roseau, I have no idea of the quality of the other three as I haven't seen any of them.

Should be some good games. Updates will be appreciated...rams1989 wrote:Roseau plays Grand Forks Central at REA, 5:30 12/21.

Roseau will have their hands full with GFRR this year.hockeypimp111 wrote:the last 5 years roseau has killed the North Dakota teams like 10-0
Otherwise this tourney seems really weak, Jefferson is decent, but Central is weak (Pulled a HUGE upset on South though, somehow.)
I'm sure you'll see the RR/Roseau matchup that all the ND people want to see.

Roseau doesn't care about a perfect record. They only care who goes home with the big trophy in March.The Best 4th Liner wrote:Are you people kidding me? I know Roseau is going for the perfect record but come on isant it about time they go to a real Minnesota holiday tournament?
As far as playing in a better Holiday tournament, I disagree completely. The JASON STADSTAD MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT is exactly the type of tournament they should play in and be proud to play in.
As far as why they aren't in the Schwan's Cup, which is really what you are asking, I can only give my opinion which is they are on a limited budget and likely can't afford it.

Re: Grand Forks Tourny?
This tournament looks like it is as good as any Holiday Tournament around. Yes it does not have as big name as the Schwan Cup, but the teams are top notch. Jefferson is not a slouch team. Central is even better than I thought this year.The Best 4th Liner wrote:Are you people kidding me?

Plus the Arena does not take a back seat to anyone. I do not think even the X has marble floors.
The answer to why Roseau doesn't travel to Holiday Tournaments in the cities is: 1) Expense 2) They haven't done so in the past and it seems to work. 3) They typically take a trip down to the cities to play a weekend during the regular season, so with the other trip coming in March, why is another needed...
As far as the perfect record comment: When a team hoists the trophy on Saturday night in March does anyone care what their overall record is?

That's true, but i think they try to get good teams in for their tourney. Most top tier teams probably don't want to come that far for 3 days during the holiday season. Just my theory. Didn't you view that tourney as a chance to pad your stats back in your hay day?Dexter Morgan wrote:Roseau should at least invite some better teams to their own holiday tournament. LOW, River East and Farmington. It's gonna be 10-0 every game. What fun is that to watch. I guess it's good if you want to pad your stats.

I love this time of the year. When i get to work it's dark, then when it's time to go home it's dark again. I'm basically a vampire.Neutron 14 wrote:Why not?
