Warroads a joke toss them into a different section and see how they do they have top 2 worst section in the state not to mention there dads are reffing the games. This is not a joke ive witnessed this first hand. The warroad hockey organization should be forced to fold on account of there games are already won by the refs.

Well how do they win section and state games with out dad?

let me get this straight your saying section 8 is a joke?

Well since 2000 in both sections they have had a representative in the state championship 10 times....

thats not too bad if you ask me

now back to the topic Warroad once again well go to state and make a run for the championship.

Warroad should come out of section 8. Thief River is the only team that has a realistic shot at beating them and that's with their goalie making 40 + saves and a shutout. However, if Warroad makes it to state it will be a different story, their goalie will have to come up big if they want to play with STA and Breck.

He said Warroad is the joke, not Section 8. I couldn't agree more.

Yes, if you are a team who is not Warroad and you are playing in Warroad against a Warroad team, the refs already have it figured out. This is true in many of the smaller communities up north....who is going to go two or three hours away to ref a game????
However, when the recuiters are on top of their game, Warroad does have legitimately strong teams.

Posted: **Fri Dec 11, 2009 10:15 pm**

Realist...You are the joke. You can toss warroad into any section you want and they will do fine, especially in class A. Personally I do not like warroad, I wish they would pull their skirts up and move up to AA. But they are a strong program so you have to give them credit. Also, games are not won by ref's. If a ref decides the game and you are on the bottom end, you deserved to lose. (in most cases)

Defense....The ref's get paid mileage up north so there are plenty of guys willing to drive the 60 to 90 miles.[/quote]

I played against Warroad in Warroad from squirts all way up through high school. The refs were always just fine. Not great, but fine. Just my experience.

Posted: **Fri Dec 11, 2009 10:32 pm**

I honestly really don't care, I was trying some sattire, but I was not sarcastic enough.

Posted: **Sun Dec 13, 2009 4:23 pm**

I guess i just dont understand, if Warroad is so sick why dont they get legit refs instead of MOM AND DAD reffing the games. And anyone who thinks a ref cant win a game by himself is sadly mistaken

Posted: **Sun Dec 13, 2009 5:29 pm**

To the best of my knowledge, the only ref that has a kid on the team is Ron Storey. I'm not sure home any games he refs but it isn't every single one. I would also like to know how refs are assigned to games. If anyone knows they should answer that. I don't think the refs get to pick which games they get to call. I imagine they get assigned to games by some other form of authority like the section or conference but I could be mistaken.

They sure like to schedule those AA teams when it doesn't matter though don't they? They won't schedule half their section opponents yet they'll gladly play them come playoff time. Cowards.

The reason they don't schedule the Park Rapids, KCC, and Bagleys is because they don't do much justice for them come tournament time (the real one, the state tourney not section). In order to compete with the best at the state tourney they need to challenge themselves during the regular season and that is why they play 'AA' schools and not the low end 8A teams.

They learn more from a 5-4 loss to a AA team than a 12-0 win over a Bagley team. They have nothing to gain from playing those teams in the regular season. They schedule everyone in the section that could possibly beat them already.

Believe me, I understand totally why they don't schedule the lower end of 8A.

SECTION 8AA:
Becker-Big Lake, Bemidji, Brainerd, Buffalo, Monticello, Moorhead, Northern Lakes, River Lakes, Roseau, St. Cloud Tech.

8 of these teams are less talented than Warroad most years. Trade in the tampons for some male genitals.

Believe me, if it were possible to schedule top notch opponents they would. You have to realize that it costs a lot of money for schools to travel. If teams like Roseau and Warroad could afford to make a 4 plus hour trip every weekend they would. But then the basketball, football, volleyball...etc would be asking (even more than they do now) "why does the hockey team get all this money". See my point? Moorhead is 3 hours from Warroad and that is the closest "quality" opponent other than Roseau, you can even throw Bemidji in there and that is 2 hrs away. Maybe if Schwang donated some of her tampons they could play some more top notch opponents
