South St Paul Premier Tourney

[bemused]

Yes it's a weak tournament. Hermantown is way down this year and they don't have much at goalie again. Maybe next year Coach Plante wants to head further south to Rochester.

all the Iowa tourneys were full

Eagan's down, Hermantown is down, St Margrets is down. It's the first excuse that always comes up when it could be there is more parity going
on. There are a lot of good hockey players to go around now a days. Gotta give props to those teams and coaches that have their guys playing decent hockey and giving the big boys a scare once in awhile!

Could Plante have found a softer tournament in the state? this is pathetic
for a team that has played in A final for as many years in a row as they have..no wonder they can't win when it counts..

They have been in this tournament for years, same could be said for Eagan.

This was Hermantown's second year at SSP Premier.

As for it being soft....

Eagan 4, Hermantown 1 final.

Should have played up in Roseau Tournament

Hermantown must have lost to Eagan. Hawk homers are quiet.

North St Paul-3
NSP HAS A NICE TEAM BUT THEY TAKE TOO MANY PENALTIES AND REALLY
OVER USE THEIR TOP PLAYERS.

You just summed up the last 20 yrs. of Polar Hockey. I'm pretty sure lack of discipline and leaving the first line on the ice is Jerry Diebel's hockey philosophy.

Props to the parents who finally took a stance and booed the coaches regarding leaving the Twins and Murane out too long. And then getting up and leaving. I would love to say maybe this will finally change that idiot coach's ways but you can't fix stupid. Players of the game goes to all those parents.
