Since you think they need to be realigned, any suggestions on what you think they should be?HockeyMN1 wrote:Sorry I forget don't they do it every two years? Cause yea, the sections need to be realigned.
By changing them you're going to have to change some other ones as well so let's see what you've got. If these sections are so horrible, please...show me something better.starmvp wrote:I think the obvious, change 2AA and 6AA a bit...
I'll try to come up with some reasonable ones... stay tuned...Goldy Gopher wrote:By changing them you're going to have to change some other ones as well so let's see what you've got.

Your 6AAMNHockey75 wrote:A few years ago I put together some new sections. I split the state in half. AA and A. Class AA was comprised of big schools and good programs. Class A was comprised of small schools and big schools with bad programs. Some decent programs had to end up in A. Then I put the sections together strictly by location. Some ended up stacked, but oh well. Class A is dreadful but it would allow new faces to burst on the scene and allow some kids to get a taste of winning. These are my dreams sections:
1AA
Albert Lea
Hastings
Mankato East
Mankato West
New Prague
Red Wing
Rochester Century
Rochester John Marshall

I know right. But I went geographically and that's what I came up with. After looking at that, some might reconsider another realignment.starmvp wrote: Your 6AA
Yes, it's done every two years, but they did it before this past year. So nothing new until a year from now.HockeyMN1 wrote:Sorry I forget don't they do it every two years? Cause yea, the sections need to be realigned.
I'm liking this, good ideaTigers33 wrote:I would suggest getting Burnsville and Jefferson into the 1AA section...I think they need to put some tougher competition in there and make those teams beat tougher teams to get to State. Other options would be Apple Valley, Eagan, Rosemount, or Eastview. Somehow strengthen up section 1AA
One example...move Burnsville in and take a Lakeville school out.
And have the two Lakeville schools in two different AA sections? That makes a lot of sense.Tigers33 wrote:I would suggest getting Burnsville and Jefferson into the 1AA section...I think they need to put some tougher competition in there and make those teams beat tougher teams to get to State.

Because that's where they actually belong. If not in 4AA, then 5AA.old goalie85 wrote:Why F.L. back in 4aa
Why disqualify northern teams????EHSHack wrote:Your 7AA is terrible. Lets just disqualify northern teams from the tournament all together.
Whoosh!!!!nickmon3 wrote:Why disqualify northern teams????EHSHack wrote:Your 7AA is terrible. Lets just disqualify northern teams from the tournament all together.
Sarcasm. His 7AA would turn three possible northern berths into one.nickmon3 wrote:Why disqualify northern teams????EHSHack wrote:Your 7AA is terrible. Lets just disqualify northern teams from the tournament all together.

I know two years ago there were some big moves, and after last year the only move was Anoka from 7AA to 5AA i believe so i do think they are do for an updateRoseauverrated wrote:I thought it was every 3 years that they updated sections, not 2 like some of you are saying. I also thought this offseason they were due for an update. Could be wrong on that though.
Nope. The big switch was before 07-08. Nothing happened before 08-09, except maybe some changes in co-ops, which they will re-evaluate any time a switch happens. They had a realignment this past offseason, but like you said, there were very few changes.The51 wrote:I could be wrong but haven't they done it after the past two years?karl(east) wrote:Yes, it's done every two years, but they did it before this past year.

Please dish your suspicions....Pioneerprideguy wrote:During the Tournament, I was told second hand by someone who is actually involved in the process of section alignments that "major" changes will happen next review period. Nothing specific was mentioned, but I have my suspisions.
