Is AHA in a league of their own?

The Hounds dang near shoved Lapanta and Gorg's boot licking "color commentary" where the sun does not shine. Tommorow will put in end to the dynasty so that we can all get back to enjoying great Minnesota high school hockey.

Centennial is quick but today they could not get any great chances of putting the puck in the net from more then a few feet away from the net. HA will keep them from getting that close.

Did anyone notice that AHA played their fourth line in the first period? Like someone posted AHA has only played 5 games, and some have played 10. They will only get better as the year goes on. TOday will be fun to watch as Centennial is a good forechecking team as is AHA. The game is not on TV so all the experts will not be there to see the game, and the critics will only have this board and hearsay to go on. I will be there... ________________________________ Academy of Holy Angels 2005 GIRLS STATE CHAMPS! 2002 & 2005 BOYS STATE CHAMPS!!

I am impressed that AHA played their 4th line in the first period! I would hope and expect the fourth line would see a regular shift at AHA. There are many public schools that play their 4th line in the first period, the second period, the third period and the line has also may see ice in OT.

Bottom line is that AHA has recourses and luxuries that other schools do not have, thank god they weren't around when I played high school hockey!! They're a half assed Shattuck that doesn't want to challenge themsleves, if you're going to recruit and take players from all over the state and elsewhere go play against other teams that do the same thing instead of teams like Hutchinson, New Prague, and Farmington, is it really that beneficial for those kids to play those teams? Does it make you a better hockey player or team winning games by 7 or 8 goals? I just don't get it, at the very least get into a real conference or a AAA league which is essentially what kind of team they are.

Academy of Holy All Stars. They can fly. I think a team that can slow them down in the neutral zone, get physical and stay out of the penalty box can beat them. We will see. I will be at the X tonight. Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... >Grovetown Scotty</A> at: 12/28/05 9:41 am

They don't recruit..... Nor does any other private school...they get "un-solicited transfers" looking for a better education....

I forgot about those "unsolicited transfers" looking for a better education. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"> I do agree that they can be beat but that's the sad thing about it, legitimate teams that go up through a system to get to where they are now have to play AAA teams. It's just wrong, there are leagues for teams like that!!

ajdjkdk · Post by **ajdjkdk** » Wed Dec 28, 2005 10:01 am

Hey Hue G, You really think that Trebil is out recruiting these kids in the off season? Their are moms and dads of kids coming up to Trebs at every away game asking if their is room for their kid next season. They are the USC of High school hockey...Every kid wants to go their. THEY DON"T NEED TO RECRUIT. Moorehead had more transfers than Holy did last year. That ought to change your opinion a little bit.??? They are a great team in a down year for Minnesota Hockey. Don't go and hate them for that. As far as playing Farmington and other missota teams. Do you really think Trebil wants to be in that conference?? Fact of the matter is they try to get out every year and they are not allowed to leave. Lastly, they ask just about every top ten team to play them each year and most of them like the team they play tonight are to chicken to put them on the schedule. Your argument has no factual basis. Sorry.

Hue G · Post by **Hue G** » Wed Dec 28, 2005 10:10 am

ajdjkdk, Trebil is at a point where he no longer needs to actively recruit. The reason I can't stand AHA is because it is hurting the integrity of high school hockey. High school hockey isn't supposed to be an all star league, teams like AHA make it necessary for teams like Moorhead to accept transfers to compete, 10 years ago most teams wouldn't accept transfers and most kids wouldn't think of transfering(at least during high school). How can you say that any team has more transfers that AHA when their entire team is essentially transfers? It's not like they build a program and develop kids from when they're young.

Hockisbest · Post by **Hockisbest** » Wed Dec 28, 2005 10:36 am

Hue... I agree with your points completely and I believe most do also. .... just afraid to confront the "oldies". AHA is 100% transfer, so for anyone to say any other school has more transfers is BS.

Agreed with most of your post, but I have a little issue with... <blockquote>Quote:<hr>Lastly, they ask just about every top ten team to play them each year and most of them like the team they play tonight are to chicken to put them on the schedule.<hr></blockquote> Nobody in the top 10 is afraid to Holy Angels, least of all Centennial. Everyone wants to play the best. Where did you come up with that? Oh and last year in the Schwans Cup, Centennial beat them 9-3. But alas, methinks the Angels will get their revenge tonight.

Hue G, Your justication of why a public school must accept a transfer is BS. If you have an opportunity to play in a winning program, be it public or private (though you'd have tuition at the private school), would you not jump at the chance? Developing a winning program is hurting the integrity of HS hockey - good one. Let me guess, you went to one of the schools that the legislature had in mind when they ruined the hockey tournament. Hockisbest, As for private schools being 100% transfer, can't agree there either. How many of the kids playing for the private high schools attended a private grade school? Not many private grade schools offer hockey programs any more but because a student has the intention of going to a private high school they should not be allowed to play for their local association? I guess if you two had your way we'd be back in the early 70's when the Catholic schools weren't allowed to play in the state tournament.

ajdjkdk hit the nail right on the head. When you're a coach of that calliber, you don't need to recruit. I don't know a lot about how younger leagues work, so I could be wrong, but AHA is a private school that starts at 9th grade. The younger bantam teams aren't from AHA, they would be from Richfield. So, everyone that keeps bringing up that point would make it so AHA can't even have a team, someone correct me here if I'm wrong. Public schools have the bantam level and lower that kids can go through, but not the private schools. The other point someone made about education is completely right. When looking to play for a better school, or move, or anything of that sort, kids (and their parents) will look for a school with a better education. In that is also a gpa requirement to play. I know of a specific in another sport where a player wanted to transfer to play on a better team, but couldn't because he was just barely making the gpa requirement at his public school and therefore wouldn't be able to play at the private school if he transferred. So, the fact that these kids are able to play and do well in school shouldn't be ignored.

If you say the game was a complete blowout because of the number of shots on goal....doesn't that mean that in last years state championship Moorhead blew out AHA even if the scoreboard doesn't show it, what were the shots, like 42-18 in favor of Moorhead.

mathrunner · Post by **mathrunner** » Wed Dec 28, 2005 11:22 am

I don't remember the championship game last year vividly enough to know if all the shots taken were good quality, but the way I look at it is that the score was 4-2 AHA and the shots 42-18 Moorhead. That means that AHA made 22% of their shots and Moorhead just under 5%. Lots of shots on goal are the person just getting rid of the puck when it had no chance of going in. If it was the players goal to rack up on shots on goal and not worry about the score, I'm sure the number would've been a lot higher for both teams, but that's simply not the chase. Ideally the case would be that the winning team mostly takes shots they think they can make.

SolanumTuberosum · Post by **SolanumTuberosum** » Wed Dec 28, 2005 11:28 am

no, it wasn't like that. The PERCENTAGE of shots taken by AHA that were quality shots was about the same as Moorhead.......I'm just saying that if one team gets a lot more shots on goal doesn't mean they dominated the other team. Because offense is not the only thing that matters in hockey, you need goaltending too. Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... berosum</A> at: 12/28/05 11:29 am

moorhead might have had more shots but it is kind of hard for aha to miss when they are getting breakaways when lee gets burned by hawkins twice <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin">

I wasn't saying your math was wrong, what i was saying you were wrong about is that AHA had more quality shots. Moorhead had many more scoring chances, along with shots.
