Tuna,
I talked to a Richfield Bantam B parent at the rink last game, they only had 14 skaters try out for Bantams this year! I guess I don't fault them for going B with just one small team. They are having a good year and are similar to STA, Highland and Mpls/Park in talent. My take is they would get waxed at the A level.
why does everybody think District 1 is bad? (BB1)

So if that is the case maybe all the teams which number 7 under them in the league should go "C". Richfield killed Johnson last night 7-2. I look at the Como and Johnson "A" Pee Wee teams and they both have won 1 game in the league each but I give them credit for attempting. Both of those teams try to compete instead of going to "B" and being one of the top teams.

Game
the richfield jonhson game was worse then the score indicates
tune...yes you are correct that Richfield does only have a B team. but if they played A's it wouldn't be so good. Say you were a parent, wouldnt you rather have your kid win the get killed every game? Put yourself in someone elses place and just think before you talk. You can give Johnson and Como A teams credit. but i can imagine that if i played on their team i would be reelly pissed to be on that team. Better off fielding a C and B team that is succesful.
Hockey129 -The only reason that mpls park peewee b1 even made it to state is that they played in one of the easiest regions. Edina white beat them 9-2!!!!! but both edina teams had to go through both wayzta teams in regions and both wound up losing, barely. but then in state mpls park got crushed in the semis against wayzata. true, they were a pretty good team but i dont think that they deserved to end up third in state.
Yep, easiest region....let's see - Eagan Blue, Eagan Green, & Lakeville North (all top 10 or 5 teams at the time) Oh and by the way, Lakeville North won the consolation for State. Was the West Region the tough, absolutely - but the South Region that Mpls Park came out of was definitely not the easiest.

Does anyone believe me now about the things that happen in District1?
They even moved the Washburn "B" bantams to "C" batams after the season was almost over. I bet the two "A" pee wee teams at the bottom of this great district should have been sent to the "B" playoffs and the lowly Johnson "B" pee Wee team should have been sent to "C". I heard they have only scored two goals all season.
Try again SWPRES, Rankness, Burk, Mickus and this is not an attack just an obsevation.

I hope kids from this team do not read what you have written and in any way detracts from their hard work and accomplishments. Any team that makes it that far, is there for a reason (and it is well deserved). Think about that before you start bashing any teams accomplishments!hockey129 wrote:SWPrez wrote:Dalakonig,
TomAss is correct. Better to stay under the radar. Last year the MPLS*Park PW B team stayed under the radar, showed up at South Regions and ran the table beating two top ranked Eagan teams to get there. Took third in state. Went from never being rated by Lets Play Hockey to ranked third. Quietly keep doing what you are doing and you will ultimately get recognition.
D1 has two good teams - Richfield and MPLS*Park. From what I have watched this year either would be competitive in the middle of Districts 3 or 6, but neither has been consistent enough (or haven't played enough games against top 20 teams) to crack the top 20 (this is OK...remember, stay below the radar and peak at the playoffs). Saint Thomas will be playing in D8's postseason play and Washburn dropped to "C" level last week and will no longer play B1. Highland is a darkhorse. Most likely, D1 will send Richfield, Highland, and MPLS*Park (unless Johnson comes from nowhere to claim a spot as they did at the PW A level last year) to the B1 Southern Regionals where they will have to take on the top three D6 teams and the top 2 D4 teams....goaltending will be key at the Southern Regionals in order for a D1 team to advance beyond the Regionals as the top three D6 teams will possess better player skills and three solid lines compared with the D1 teams that have approximately two good lines.
Regarding Richfield beating MPLS*Park...remember, that one has an asterisk. It was tied in regulation, but based on the referee's rule interpretation that "the game doesn't end until the horn stops buzzing" Richfield won. You guys played a solid game and deserved a win as the hustle was there and MPLS*Park's wasn't. I am sure the two teams will go at it again in the D1 Playoffs and it will be a good game.
Let your buddy Woodstick know that I am working on getting his video of the Richfield/MPLS*Park game...should have something in approximately a week or two as our video guy has to edit it.

Re: Dist. 8
Really? If you're talking about STA, they don't play any "good" D8 teams in the district playoffs until tonight when they play Woodbury. The teams they played so far (Northfield and Farmington) played mostly D4 schedules, and didn't show much against any of the better D8 teams. Let's hear what you have to say after STA v. Woodbury . . .DENIED wrote:What do you say about a 4th place team from the rotten T.C. District pounding good Dist. 8 teams in the playoffs!
STA 5-3 in a close one, maybe empty netter. A hat trick from that beast on STA!
