The Section alignments. Wednesday is always the worst day. Especially when teams like New Ulm and Alexandria make the tourney... There was literally only 1000 people at the early session today and it looks like there's only about 500 more people tonight. Pathetic.

SWITCH THE SECTIONS UP.

Horrible, based on what we learned from the Hill vs Como game, STA should just play keepaway and not take anymore shots, right?

Agreed here.... STA is not even close to 100% .. They havent been since the 1st... more like 50% IMO and they are still scoring.. I agree tho , it would be more insulting ( TO me , if I was on NUs team ) to have them pass around and toy with me... Nothing you can do..


And THIS ladies and gents is why the "section assignments " are Complete BS... Because teams like Totino, Virgina, Warroad, etc etc cant play because joke teams like New ulm and Alexandria do... COmplete BS.. THe tournament should be the best of the best , Not a sympathy walk into the tourney because you have a weak section....

No matter how you divide it good teams are going to be left out. Sections are divided by geography and not who is good and who is bad. What do you want? Warroad to play in New Ulm's section? Good grief this is still high school hockey! If you want in then win!

Im no tgonna talk out my A@@ like I know about all sections... BUT i will say they need to broaden the cites sections... WHy? Because theres about 4 sections clustered in together in the area.. and the ENTIRE rest of the state has 4? hmmmmm...


7AA covers up to Grand Rapids, to Duluth, to Brainard, AND all the way down to Forest lake, and ELk river?? Hmmm Maybe Im not that quick but do some Geography for me man, and tell me how and where thats close to the same amount of land area........

I can half agree that some secitons are weak and have no reason to be that way. But......6a was hardly a joke this year, I would hardly call Little Falls, Sartell, and Willmar jokes this year, and Alexandria beat them out to get to state. The real joke is the two class system all together.... that's the worst part of the tournement for me.

So sections should be rearranged to avoid "cakewalk" sections. Do you mean like the one that Hill-Murray had this year?

Section 5A and 7AA are a little out of whack. That's two sections out of 16. Anyway, that wasn't even my main point. It's like the NCAA basketball tournament. You're always going to have a few teams belly aching because they didn't make the tournament but they had decent resumes. Eventually someone has to be left out.

No nothing should be a cakewalk... But C'mon.. teams not in the top 25 all year have no business in the tourney...

I have no say in anything, But if it were MY call... Id take "BOTH" team that make it to EACH of the 8 section finals , and have them BOTH go to state with a sweet 16 round robin or some other elimination format..


How much better would this tourney be with teams that lost in the section final

Wayzata
Grand Rapids
Apple Valley
Hill
etc etc etc

Couldnt have said it better, so sick of hearing people complain that sections should be divided based on which teams are good. I find it hard to call New Ulm, a team that had 20+ wins on the year (albeit a weaker schedule based on geography and conference), a joke team. They ran into a team that should probably be AA, what did they say, STA is like 17-0 against class A opponents this season.

Look what AA Bemidji did to A Hermantown, the depth on your 2nd and 3rd lines at the AA level (which STA should be at) is just so superior to smaller schools.

Thing I hate most about the state tourney? SEEDINGS. Whats the point of going when almost every game is set up to be a lopsided drubbing. Whats wrong if Hermantown has to run into STA in the first round and New Ulm plays Alexandria? You'd probably get two highly competitive and entertaining games. If your going to win the title you've got to win anyways, shouldnt have to be seeded to get the first round "gimme".
