[ghshockeyfan]

I saw 6 players that really impressed me this weekend, some probably are aware of all of them, but wanted to mention them...<br><br>For Sartell/Sauk Rapids:<br><br>#24 Meierhofer - D 12th (no surprise here)<br>#31 Haroldson - G 12th (no surprise here)<br>#29 JV G - I don't have her name - will be hard to replace Haroldson, but she's ready and then some to play V and play well.<br><br><br>For St. Cloud Icebreakers:<br><br>#12 Schleper - D 10th (no surprise here)<br>#22 Carpenter - C 12th (no surprise here)<br>#16 Kelsey Lucia - F 9th - Big Strong Freshmen with great potential. Keep an eye on her... <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... ckeyfan</A> at: 12/4/05 10:21 am<br></i>

I saw both games that Simley played this last weekend in St. Cloud and Sartell that thought the girls form the St.Cloud area played well. Sartell/ Sauk Rapids played Simley tuff and battled back form 0-3 to tie the game and send it into overtime. The biggest play of the game had to be the penalty shot that the sartell goalie stopped. A big momentium shifter at that point in the game. Sartell played Simley tough last year also.<br><br>The Icebreaker game also was played very even for most of the game but Simley just kept pressing and created oppertunities in front of the net. As I said both good games and shows how girls hockey has improved in the St. Cloud area. <p></p><i></i>

Harolsdon made a HUGE save on the PS by one of the better breakaway players I've seen as a coach. I forgot to mention this.<br><br>Sartell/SR always plays Simley tough, and they took advantage of the 26 penalty minutes in the game against Simley - especially in the third period. The 5v3 goal by Meierhoffer was the turning point, and the two other PP goals were a great comeback. The Sartell PP and 5 3rd period simley penalties we're huge - along with the play of Meierhoffer and Haroldson - in this game.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.esportsdesk.com/leagues/hock ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Simley continued to rack up the Penalty Minutes this year (average 20 a game so far...) in the St. Cloud Icebreakers game with 14 penalties for 36 minutes in this game alone. Hard to play shorthanded with other numbers challenges to date - but then Penalties add insult to injury... Again, 3rd period saw multiple PP opportunities for Simley opponent - almost a repeat of Sartell game! this time Simley was able to hang on even while being outshot 18 to 7 in third with 7 penalties for 22 minutes that period ALONE! One of these (10+2) came at end or regulation, so PK turned away all 5 PP opportunities for the Icebreakers due to Mel Gerten's stong play in net (stopped 36 of 37 shots in the game - 18 of 18 in 3rd).<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.esportsdesk.com/leagues/hock ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;"><!--EZCODE UNDERLINE START--><span style="text-decoration:underline"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I think you get a ton more info. and understanding when you see a detailed boxscore...</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></span><!--EZCODE UNDERLINE END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><br>linked above... <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... ckeyfan</A> at: 12/6/05 10:03 am<br></i>

Forgot to mention - I think that the Icebreakers and Stormn Sabres coaches are doing great things in the St. Cloud area and both are some of the most dedicated coaches.<br><br>Both programs will do well long term with these coaches in place. <p></p><i></i>

Sorry... Yes, I am a parent from Tech. Note I didn't say any names. <p></p><i></i>

[Puck35]

And I apologize if it is a problem for you that I support the players of my daughter's team. This is an open forum though, if I do remember correctly. <p></p><i></i>

[The machine took my quart]

Just being difficult T35...<br><br>Green, Engdahl, Kassa and Dold... solid squad. <p></p><i></i>

[ghshockeyfan]

Kassa and Dold I know are strong, the others I don't know about as I don't know the St. Cloud area players that well, and I was just commenting on the two area teams/players I saw in our trip up there.<br><br>Didn't mean to insult anyone by not mentioning them! <p></p><i></i>
