Giles is a smart dude. Why risk one of your players getting injured on a sheet of lousy ice? I'm not sure what's harder to believe, that they're playing this game as far south as Elk River, or that this annual farce still takes place. Getting back to our roots, with $500 skates and $300 sticks. Oh boy, I just love nostalgia. More like fauxstalgia.

Oh and Hill Murray with unlimited recruiting and the ability to create super teams are bringing us back to our hockey roots... Oh the irony

I'm not the one pushing nostalgia, I'm pushing back. Try again.

Hill high school's roots go back a LOT further than Hockey Day in Minnesota. Back in the 60's, weather permitting, they played many of their games on outdoor ice.

Date is Jan. 18th (Pending NHL schedule}
Elk River Vs Stillwater
Cloquet Vs Rochester Lourdes
Venue will be fine, good ice in the pit, out of the direct sun and no wind.
Edina will be missing out. I 'm sure if it was up to their kids they would have wanted to play.

Might want to revise your marketing materials...CEC is a AA team, and the HDM games usually aren't broken down that way (certainly weren't last year, when the 10:15 game was Eagan v Hibbing).

Why all the hating on HM? I guess I don't know enough about the history.
