I see you have left the north country and moved to the metro area...
at least I think that is where Centennial is... can't seem to find it on the map (although a former Bronco coached there).

Im sure they are as are mine but its not going to be a blow out. I have seen Hibbing play many a time this year and they've greatly improved. And one thing is for sure... It wont be a blow out. I guarantee it!

It may not be a blow out, but it would be really sad to see the third best team in the section at best represent northern minnesota at the tourney. I am just very northern minnesota biased and it is too bad that Duluth East and I. Falls won't represent as the best of the north. Brainerd beat Cloquet twice this year, too bad they moved them to 8AA! I never thought I would pull for a Private school but I hope DM wins
If hibbing makes it out of the section being the third seed i still feel they'd represent real well. if they can beat falls and DM,two of the top A teams in the state then how can you say they wouldnt represent well. if they can beat them and play with them they can play with any A team in the state. i think Dm will take this game but it will not be a blow out.it;ll be a close,hard fought game..
Why dont you believe Hibbing can represent well. They beat Falls twice they beat Rapids they have some good wins. Is it there record. In 2004 Hibbing was 11-14-1 and was the third best team in 7A. They ended up taking 3rd in state. And I love seeing the North succeed and beat any city team they go up against. I believe Hibbing could compete. There just playing flat out good hockey.

The Falls took it to Hibbing bad in the first two periods and got snake bit, they missed opportunities they converted on all year. I. Falls is at least three goals better per night than Hibbing but didn't finish when they needed to. Hibbing had their number but are a far inferior team in the big picture and can't win the title like the Falls could have for section 7. All said the section loses credibility in sending a three(inferior) seed.

If you have seen hibbing play this year you would know that they can skate with any team. they have some really good wins under there belt this year beating Rapids, Falls X2, virginia. it should be a really exciting game with hibbings explosive offense and marshalls great defense. im taking hibbing though in this one because i dont think you can controll hibbings first line for a whole 51 min.

If you are going to make that statement; could you spell the word right. Must be the education. Actually, I agree that Marshall recruits. They recruit students. It's advertised on t.v.. Hockey is not the only successful program. Defending state math champions, soccer champs and dance team champs to name a few.
marshall is number one for a reason and hibbing hasnt showed that they are capable of beating marshall, their D are too good. and if they get an evenly called game they should win by at least two

The only recruiting DM can be blamed for is being successful. Just like at Notre Dame in its prime for football people wanted to go because of its prestige. This is the same for DM, people want to play there because it has good hockey. Yeah i guess if you call succes recruting then DM is the best at it.

The only reason that I could possibly think of to support Hibbing in this game would be so that they could make the venture to the X and Stompohar would get to watch as he misses out an irreplaceable memory that he could have been a part of... then I would laugh and say to myself, "Wow, he is an idiot."

But is it right? I dont believe recruiting at the high school level is right for anything. Not everyone will play college hockey so you shouldnt go to a high school just to play hockey thats for college when your thinking about the next level. There is just as many kids getting recruited from public schools to go to college as private. So leaving your school behind to play for some stupid private school isnt right. I dont agree with it. And you say Marshall is the best at it. I believe this year STA has you beat along with many AA schools.
Hibbing has been playing some great hockey in the past few games. They shut down I Falls to go to the Championship in 7A. It should be a close game if Hibbing brings their game.
Marshal-4
Hibbing-2

I agree 100%. I coach youth hockey in the Duluth/Superior area and can honestly say that kids, 9,10,11 years-old talk about how they want to go to school at Marshall and play hockey for them. Marshall does not need to go looking for these kids, they show up all on their own.
That is what happens when you have a program developed by a great coach that has sustained, positive results.

Well-stated. And besides we just need the best representative at State from Section 7, regardless of the ongoing public/private debate.

same can be said for East losing Flaherty, Hermantown losing LeBlanc and Virginia losing Sachetti all in their senior year. All of them would have been stronger if they had stayed

I agree in principle with what you arer saying. I've argued that we need to go back to the rules of the 60's when the public schools and the private schools had separate hockey tournaments. Then we could get back to a single class tourney, I believe.
