Wow, witty. I suppose what I said could be interpreted that way, but that is now how it was meant.

You won't be watching hockey in a new arena next Christmas or the one after either. The $12.88 million project still needs to secure the money. I don't know most of the details but I guess the city is going to the state for some help. Also, there is talk about a 1/2 cent city tax or something that the city would need to approve in a vote. If the money came through from the state there's a possibility some construction could begin this year.

Big thanks to packerboy for that "Great Moment" in YES: It Can Happen History. Had I not been told it was poor witto Queetin in the purple and gold scoring all those goals I would have thought it was the witto ol Egos from Eas Gwan Fokes Saquid Hut, they wore purple and gold too you know. Well anyhow, it was great moment and yet more evidence that YES: It Can Happen.

No Govs this is serious business and we don’t get carried away in this thread. YES: It Can Happen. It can happen to you, it can happen to me, it will happen eventually because that’s what the song says.
Nowadays, everybody goes looking for answers. They go to sporting goods stores looking for the lightest composite stick, they go to camps or elite things in search of that intangible that can put them over the top, they go looking for the coaches who have won before, they go to trainers with fancy inclined treadmills that you can wear your skates on. Some even turn to faith, but any God I know worth worshiping, doesn’t care whether Pine City or Circuit City wins a state high school hockey championship. The answers we all seek in this thread are right there in the mirror, it has nothing to do with tradition and it has nothing to do with one’s perceived birth right to hoist a section title.
YES: It Can Happen
It Can Happen to You
It Can Happen to Me
It will happen eventually
BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THE SONG SAYS!

High School Hockey is a game in which YES:It Can Happen
There is no best of 7.
Its one game. Loser goes home, winner goes on.
Two men enter, one man leaves.
Its a hot goalie. Its a bounce of the puck.
Its a goal scorer getting hot.
This is why YES: IT Can Happen

greatone...7th/8th grade misfits,

sounds like a jr. high music teacher to me. Educators, you have to admire them, they make

Keep after those misfitis, as you are on the frontlines fighting the cycle of mediocrity everyday.

Each branch of the military has an elite group of fighters that are sent in first to address the most difficult of situations. The odds against them are high but their work is crucial to the lucky ones who follow their lead. The Navy has the Seals, the Army has the 101st Airborne. In the tournament world, you have the #8 seed. It takes a unique competitor to embrace the mission they are assigned so the selection of who comes aboard is critical. When the seeding is done a Fleet of 16 #8's shall set sail together to make it happen.
The Fleet of #8's, Individually we fight, united we stand.
Because..
