I feel as if these are the games that shouldn't be brought up as they are an extreme lack of sportsmanship on the end of the winning team. I am all for blowing out a team but when you hit the 20's it is just getting ridiculous, it takes what out what little fun would be in a normal blowout game.

Bring 'em up. They happened, even with teams playing 4th lines and JV players. Ely regularly was beaten by double-digit margins in the 70s when they were members of the IRC. I remember Rapids beating them 22-3 and Hibbing edging them 24-2 in '75 or '76. The losing players would still leave the arena to the welcoming arms of their friends, families and girlfriends. Their lives were not marred to the point of depression and suicide. Sometimes you lose and sometimes badly.
I remember a couple years in the 00's when Moorhead was the 1 out of 8AA and would wreck Monticello or Becker by 20+. Obviously these weren't memorable enough to still remember the exact score, but I believe one was 24-0 or 24-1.
In 1975 in a round of 16 game in Section 1 Bloomington Lincoln shut out LeSeuer 26-0. And this was a 45 minute game. And at that time you could only dress 17 players. Which probally meant 3 lines 3 pairs of D and 2 netminders
