I know you would be thrilled if Hermantown won, since you hate the private schools.
If you watched the game, a great game, you would have seen they had every chance to win it. Hermantown could have been celebrating as easily as STA. That is great hockey at the best event of the year.
STA scheduled "Shattuck St. Mary" and played them to a 4-6 game
Also Delbarton Prep, New Jersey's number one team. Played them to a 2-1 game
Scheduled one of the toughest AA non conference schedules out there????
And then proudly breeze to the A championship game?????
They don't want to play these lesser teams all season....... but come playoff time they are more than happy to take them down... Where's your logic for this?

it has nothing to do with who I wanted to win, even though of course I would have liked to see a legit small school team with the small school championship.
It has to do with a private school, with a drawing pool of an entire metropolis playing in the "small" school tournament.

exciting...
When has Blake or Lourdes ever won? I'm kind of liking an idea where if you win a few titles or so in a span of five years or so you automatically move up for a year or two and if things don't go well bring it back down. Not sure it would work or if it would be too complicated but just throwing it out there.
Now i know many of you want to argue about moving up and who should and shouldnt but i have done some research during the state tourney this year and now the truth should come out.
First off, STA has no class what so ever. Thats right from the coaches to the players to the student section to the chaperones and chancellor. So I found myself wondering how an academy that dresses up like the armed forces could be represented in such poor manor and classless actions. Well according to my well informed resources STA has NO connections at all to any armed service group. Thats right here we have kids dressing up like military servicemen and they have NO relation to anything. So first off stop being knock offs of the military. People should not show them the respect that they believe they deserve in being in an "academy". Next argument of showing how classless these tools are, during the Thief River STA game one of their little p-ricks stood up in the middle of the TR student section and pointed to the score board. Even though the kid got removed from the arena he should have gotten his *** kicked by the whole student section to send a message to them. Your fans are rude, disrespectful, and have no manors at all. Onto the hockey team: I have never seen so much chippy play by one team in a state tournament than what you guys did this year. Someone clearly forgot to teach these guys what hockey is about, not going around cheap shooting someone when the refs not looking. Onto the coaches: ok maybe section 1 isnt that good all the time but there is absolutely no respectable reason for running the score up 13-2 in any situation, hermantown did the respectable thing playing alexandria, you guys made your whole school look horrible by doing that, oh yeah screaming at the ref because your goalie sucks is not a reasonable answer for them to over turn a goal, and finally the school and its chancellor: you are an embarrassment as a whole, your students show no respect to anyone and your chaperones let them do it, i cannot imagine anyother school (maybe with the exception of hibbings cheering section) being so rude and getting away with it unpunished, here's a little hint for you NO ONE and i mean NO ONE wants your little p-ricks at the x,
so everyone remember for next year or whenever you come across a rude and disrespectful cadet, to put them in their place, heck if you feel like it mess up their pretty little fake uniform because essentially they are not military bound and they most likely deserve a good butt kicking
oh yeah as for brecks coach, the comment at the banquet of "we dont recruit, we reload" yeah the public heard about that you loser, couldn't have made it anymore obvious that private schools recruit

Well apparently when youre a private school, you dont have a choice regardless of win-loss and titles

You're completely wrong. St. Thomas Academy has a mandatory JROTC program which teaches the fundamentals of leadership. In the most recent Brigade Formal Inspection, the Corps of Cadets received an astounding 595 out of a possible 600, placing them in the top 10% in the country. Several students every year get scholarships to attend the various service academies which comes with a vow to serve the country immediately after graduation, usually 4 years. I have personally had classmates that died serving the country.
Here are some links that you should read before you spout off again about something you have no idea about.

I do not think that STA should move up, leave them where they are. They are completely beatable. Sure, it is going to take some work but it can be done. If they were beating the whole pack by 11 - 0 I would say get rid of them but when they have to come back to win.... It goes without saying that your below average or average A team is not going to be able to beat them, but then could those teams beat Hibbing, Hermantown, Warroad, TRF, etc? Probably not. Think of how boring the Austin Powers movies would have been without Dr Evil. STA, Breck, etc make good a Dr Evil. Sure they play AA schools all year and then are so over prepared for HS hockey that they come in on a roll. Do some of the upper level A schools need to bump up and play more AA schools to get ready? Can they do that (I really don't know what the rules on a A school picking up games against an AA school is) or is that limited some how? You know there is a way to clean up on STA, Breck and etc we just have to figure out how to do it. To figure out why a person would pay what probably amounts to buying a mid sized chevy every year to have his kid dress up and play pretend military and act like that in public. Why does a kid leave the buddies he grew up with to go to a school that is all boys? I know from my own boys that the only way that is happening is with a stun gun and some serious chains. What is Dr Evil's appeal? The haircut? The uniform? The girls? What? How do we drop the globe on Dr Evil (watch the movie, he learns to count to three)?

The appeal is a great education, growing and maturing as person, obtaining leadership skills, and getting prepared for life. Some people look at STA and get it, most don't though.

Here's what section 8AA should look like:
Alexandria
Bemidji
East Grand Forks
Fergus Falls
Little Falls
Moorhead
Roseau
Thief River Falls
Warroad
Or even 7AA:
Brainerd
Cloquet
Duluth East
Grand Rapids
Hermantown
Hibbing
International Falls
Virginia
Yes, couldn't agree more. Section 8 has just as many teams wussing out as the iron range. (I think Brainerd goes to section 8, based purely on the fact they play in district 15....but that don't matter) ... Fergus Falls, Alex, EGF, TRF..should all go to AA. Fergus Falls did start in AA. They did it in the beginning. They had some strong teams in the '80s and early 90s. THe coaches put them in AA. The other people around the program put them in A. THe coaches were pretty much forced to resign one year later. I think it had to do with the fact that the coaches...being forced to play in class A.. had way bigger expectations...
Alex stayed longer...ditto Willmar.. Bemidji's kids did the right thing a few years ago telling the school they wanted to play in AA.
If all the schools who should play AA played AA, the AA tournement would be way better, there would be two outstate sections at least. THe way it is now, it is possble to have an entirely TC AA tournement. Pathetic. Fergus may drop down in a few more sports this year, we'll Breckenridge and Pelican Rapids.... dumb... but we're talking hockey. Fergus Falls needs to play in 8AA...bottom line..

Breezing through the A tournament. Did you see the game? Hermantown had them on the ropes. STA was outshot 12-5 in the third.
Hermantown hit the post in OT. What game were you all watching? Hermantown should have won the game.
And for your playing SSM and Delbarton, don't many of the A teams play AA teams. If I recall, Hermantown lost in OT to the AA state champs.
Oh yeah, that does not count. They are public school and that is ok.
In the game I was watching it seemed like St. Thomas should've won handily. They carried the play for a majority of the time and at times looked like a sega game. Without the powerplays would've Hermantown had 10 total shots? The only reason the game was close was because Hermantown capitalized on every opportunity they had early in the game. Good thing too otherwise it would've been a repeat of Friday's second game.

No he is right. STA has no connection to the military or any branch of our government. Sure STA kids have a better chance of getting into West Point or the Air Force academy but they aren't obligated to serve in the military after they graduate.

Sorry, but you're wrong. You guys really need to do some research before making baseless claims.
"The Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) is a Federal program sponsored by the United States Armed Forces in high schools across the United States. The program was originally created as part of the National Defense Act of 1916 and later expanded under the 1964 ROTC Vitalization Act.

I know plenty of schools with ROTC programs! Just because they are in ROTC doesn't mean that they are in the military! They have no obligation to join the military after they graduate high school! Here's a quote from your link
" ... These programs will enable cadets to better serve their country as leaders, as citizens, and in military service SHOULD THEY ENTER IT. ... The JROTC and NDCC are not, of themselves, officer-producing programs but should create favorable attitudes and impressions toward the Services and toward careers in the Armed Forces."

Also you don't get a scholarship to go to a service academy, you are nominated, accepted and then you go to West Point, Annapolis, or Colorado Springs. They got a 595 out of 600 on a paperwork audit? I once went through an entire FDA audit and did not get a Form 483 (although the auditor did find the red pen I used to sign the logbook in a couple of places). Both of those will (when combined with about $2) get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. I am not sure what to think about STA, but can tell you that if any of the officers or senior enlisted men or women that I served under when I was in the real military saw me acting like that I would still be scrubbing toilets with my tooth brush. It would not be called scullery duty, it would be called NPC duty. You would not get sent to clean the head, you would get sent to work with NPC. Looks like a bunch of spoiled rotten rich kids acting like, well, spoiled rotten rich kids are getting called on the carpet for being spoiled rotten rich kids and acting like it and the only defense it to hide behind a JROTC program which lots of high school have. If you want to look like military and get the "credit" for being military at least act like it means something to you.

Here's what section 8AA should look like:
Alexandria
Bemidji
East Grand Forks
Fergus Falls
Little Falls
Moorhead
Roseau
Thief River Falls
Warroad
Or even 7AA:
Brainerd
Cloquet
Duluth East
Grand Rapids
Hermantown
Hibbing
International Falls
Virginia
Yes, couldn't agree more. Section 8 has just as many teams wussing out as the iron range. (I think Brainerd goes to section 8, based purely on the fact they play in district 15....but that don't matter) ... Fergus Falls, Alex, EGF, TRF..should all go to AA. Fergus Falls did start in AA. They did it in the beginning. They had some strong teams in the '80s and early 90s. THe coaches put them in AA. The other people around the program put them in A. THe coaches were pretty much forced to resign one year later. I think it had to do with the fact that the coaches...being forced to play in class A.. had way bigger expectations...
Alex stayed longer...ditto Willmar.. Bemidji's kids did the right thing a few years ago telling the school they wanted to play in AA.
If all the schools who should play AA played AA, the AA tournement would be way better, there would be two outstate sections at least. THe way it is now, it is possble to have an entirely TC AA tournement. Pathetic. Fergus may drop down in a few more sports this year, we'll Breckenridge and Pelican Rapids.... dumb... but we're talking hockey. Fergus Falls needs to play in 8AA...bottom line..
There is so much wrong with this post it's ridiculous.
the hecks wrong with it????
Problem facing the truth???
