State your teams case for winning the toughest conference in the state of hockey...

Edina wins. Because according to CNN, the median househould income for Edina ($124,356) beats:

Minnetonka ($109,684)
Eden Prairie ($116,085)
Wayzata (Plymouth $116,273)
Hopkins (according to CNN doesn't even register)

It's clear.

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world.

I could not find where you found that on CNN but I do hope you did not just add in minnetonka when referring to there school

The school district of Minnetonka takes from Minnetonka, Channhassen, Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood, Tonka Bay, northern Victoria and northern Eden Prairie

I could not find the list you were talking about so I used
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mi ... ita_income
And while on this list you do have edina at 15 and Minnetonka at 17 im assuming you forgot to throw in all those cities that make up the rest of Minnetonka high.
1) Woodland
7) Greenwood
9) Deephaven
10) Tonka bay
14)Shorewood

While Wayzata along with plymouth at 27 has
6) Wayzata
11) Medina
12)Medicine lake
also parts of Orono which is #5

Also if you look at Hopkins how can they have 2045 students with only about 17000-18000 people in there city? well that is because they from parts of Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Plymouth, Golden Valley, St. Louis Park and Edina...
Yes after a recent restructure or the school district's zone we find out that people living within a section of the "wealthy" neighborhood of Interlachen in Edina now will be attending Hopkins schools.

Minnetonka would be my guess to win the lake conference based off your idea

Not quite what I was looking for, but I like the creativity

Def not my team but I'll take Wayzata. Most sound defensively and enough offensive weapons (Freytag, Zimmer) to take care of business. Getting out of their section (I do like their chances) could be another story though...

Hopkins rolling Minnetonka last night turns that theory upside down.

Green blew away my argument by indicating that Hopkins has money from all over - Minnetonka-EP-Edina. Though I suspect those living in the mansions near Interlachen are somehow enrolled at Edina High, despite being zoned for Hopkins.

That's an interesting discussion as a lot of high school boundaries change almost annually. For a family to live and develop their hockey players in one youth association area only to have their high school boundaries change is concerning. Athletes probably feel different about some of this than the general student population. I suppose once you're in as a 9th grader you're set but could affect the number of students chasing open enrollment.

That includes part of Minnetonka that is in the Hopkins district. Has Hopkins picked up some youth players from Minnetonka and Edina?

Meanwhile, Tonka's JGA team is rocking... Is Hopkins that good or Tonka weak this year?

that section of Edina is on the NW side of Interlachen south of Excelsior Blvd and East of Blake road has been a part of the Hopkins school district a long time. I went to school with kids from that hood in the mid 1980s. Many from there open enroll to the Hornet but some play for Hip Hopkins.

Big win for Hopkins last night…am guessing that the Royals have improved but also Tonka is not as consistent as years past. Didn't the skippers beat BSM within the last 2 weeks?

The new coach at Hopkins certainly is a great change from what I have heard with kids on the Boys Varsity team.

I'm not positive but I think that is Hopkin's first win in the lake conference for hockey since it became Edina, Way, Tonka, EP and Hopkins. Congrats!
