Why isnt the southern part of minnesota given the same oppurtunites as the northern part? Such as the Northern MN allstar tournament. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... iller09</A> at: 3/2/06 8:03 pm<br></i>

Why doesn't someone from the southern part of the state put something together? Don't whine. <p></p><i></i>

miller09, though hockeydad put it more rudely than necessary, he is correct. Southern MN needs someone or ones to organize such endeavors as a S. MN all star event. Perhaps a coalition of coaches or whoever runs the Storm could get something together. <p></p><i></i>

Me? Rude? Next thing you know, you'll be saying I'm sarcastic<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><br>I'm in a bad mood today....2 hours in the dentists chair made me a little surly. Sorry. <p></p><i></i>

What are do you consider Southern Minnesota? South of the Metro, or South Metro included? Personally, I'd say South of the Metro, but that's just me. <p></p><i></i>

I would say south of Lakeville. <p></p><i></i>

2 hours in the dentist chair? Ouch. Hope they mixed in some nitrous oxide and Pink Floyd! <br><br>South of Lakeville (Farmington's right there too) would be good, but I wonder if New Prague considers themselves southern MN or southern metro. Venturing east, what about Red Wing? <p></p><i></i>

Ok, so we've established the geography of said tourney. These are all the HS teams that I can think of that will make up the rosters? Am I missing any?<br>Lakeville<br>Farmington<br>Prior Lake?<br>Red Wing<br>Northfield<br>New Prague<br>St. Peter <br>Mankato<br>New Ulm<br>Marshall<br>Luverne<br>Fairmont<br>Windom<br>Redwood Falls?<br>Waseca<br>Faribo (Shattuck too?)<br>Owatonna<br>Dodge County<br>Rochester(s)<br>Winona<br>Austin<br>Albert Lea<br><br>Who is eligible to play?

I think the towns are right and yes high school players only but should SSM be eligible? <p></p><i></i>

I'd be fine with MSHSL players only. Where are the games played? Something centally located, Owatonna, Faribo or maybe Mankato.<br>I forgot Dodge County. <p></p><i></i>

The nitrous was on. no music though, but that would have been sweet. <br><br>gotta go back in 2 weeks to get the crown put in. Maybe I'll borrow my son's Ipod <p></p><i></i>

Well Both Mankato and Owatonna have 2 arenas and that could be benifical and they are both in nice locations <p></p><i></i>

New ULm also has two rinks, and probably the nicest facility <p></p><i></i>

I agree new ulm has a very nice place but dosent have the best location <p></p><i></i>

New Ulm does have a great facility, but Owatonna is very easy to get to with interstate hwy access - especially if you want to include some of the southern Metro teams. The only teams that would not like the trip are from the far southwest. We have a lot of good teams on I-35 within 1 hour of Owatonna - just makes sense to me. <p></p><i></i>
