I agree...including Anoka, 8 of the 9 teams in 5AA play in the NWSC...and while I agree that St. Francis, Cambridge and Forest Lake belong in 7AA...due to numbers uo North...ER and Andover do not...but the lure of playing regularly in the Class A State tourney...keeps the Duluth Marshall's and Warroad's from opting up to AA...which iskarl(east) wrote:Not much changed. I think everyone in both 5AA and 7AA is happy to see Anoka back in 5AA, and it made sense with numbers too, so that was a no-brainer. While an attempt at greater parity in the metro would have been nice, there's something to be said for stability, and we should see the development of some good rivalries in sections 2 and 6.
I know andover was 2 years when the redo the sections. I think it would be weird having one team jump in the middle of the 2 year session but if in fact that happened with south then it might be a possibility but i'm going with sachishi on this one that it will be 2011 when they make the jump to AAhockeyjunkie2 wrote:They could do it after one season. If I remember right Lakeville South when they opened was a single A school year one but for the second year they played AA for sections. I think the MSHSL worked with them because of not having a senior class their first year as well, perhaps same will be done here.sachishi4 wrote:my guess is that in 2011 eastridge will jump to AA
there is no way these three schools can each have there own team, they only had 10 or 11 skaters combined this year! must be a mistakeStealth wrote:Section 3Ahockeyboys wrote:Section 3A sure looks like a tough one.
These three became independent programs from being a coop of three?

Good for them but that must become a challenge to field three competitive teams and a JV program each now?
Moved Willmar and Litchfield back to 6A, they must be ticked to move out of 3A?
But, I'd bet that East Ridge goes to AA for the 2010-11 season. That will be the first year with seniors and would raise the enrollment.Tenoverpar wrote:One thing I did notice is that EAST RIDGE will be playing in 4A. Should be interesting how the Woodbury kids are split.
Just a note that it does specify for the 2009-10 season only.ndirishfighting wrote:http://www.mshsl.org/mshsl/competitiveS ... eroone.asp

They made a similar mistake when posting the section assignments for this past season, so I wouldn't read too much into what they have for next year.letsgowild wrote:there is no way these three schools can each have there own team, they only had 10 or 11 skaters combined this year! must be a mistakeStealth wrote:Section 3Ahockeyboys wrote:Section 3A sure looks like a tough one.

Stattuck shouldn't be a member of the State High School hockey tournament as they recruit and see players outside of the state to compete nationally. This is not fair to the die hard Minnesota hockey high school team.Iceburg wrote:Shattuck hockey wouldn't join the MSHSL and cut the number of games they can play by more than half. That is part of the reason they left in the first place.
What do you mean jv teams? Half the teams in this section are lucky to put together 3 full lines and 2 goalies.Stealth wrote:Section 3Ahockeyboys wrote:Section 3A sure looks like a tough one.
