Go vote! The 1978 game is part of today's poll: its taking on the Peter Colby winner for Edina from 2019grindiangrad-80 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2026 10:08 am Edina over GR in double OT 5-4 in 1978. Long time ago but it was a great game.
GR over Hill Murray 2-1 in 1980 was another one.
Lots of great games since. As an old timer I had to throw those two out there.
And who among us can ever forget that 1945 classic?

Statistically, it is likely that no one at that game is still alive. The factors at play are that total tournament attendance was not even 9K, so maybe 2K for the final. Most attendees in 1945 would have been male, and men have shorter life expectancy. Few MN males survive to age 90, and if a boy of 10 were there, he'd be 91 by now. The odds of a survivor among us is in the 3-4% range; very unlikely but of course possible. Then would be some good genes.elliott70 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2026 12:09 pmSOME WERE THERE.East Side Pioneer Guy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2026 8:17 pmAnd who among us can ever forget that 1945 classic?

Please Elliot. We went to a Catholic school.
