Good: We gave up losing for lent, great sign.<br> The class of the fans to not throw objects onto the ice, i know this is praising what should be expected, but sadly enough it is expected to be immature and throw objects onto the ice these days.<br><br>Bad: Holy Angels...Sucks sign, very classless, especially during our countries national anthem, show some respect!<br> Moorhead fan's chants, you know the ones, "give me an 's', give me an 'e',give me an 'x', whats that spell," along with the other one that i won't put on here but everyone knows about. this little girl sitting in front of me (8 years old at the oldest) had to ask her grandmother what the chants meant. that is terrible and should not be tolerated by the mshsl. <br> The St. Thomas Academy disrespect shown towards opposing teams when line-ups are announced. they turn their backs and pay no attention to the players. very selfish and immature. you guys are all dressed up in your uniforms and respected by many people, don't ruin it by showing no class whatsoever.<br><br>Ugly: Section 206 being removed from the arena. maybe they went overboard with the "holy s*** clap, clap, clapclapclap" chant, but they probably shouldn't have been thrown out. their exuberance should be embraced by the mshsl, not looked down upon. they bring much excitement and life to the arena, i love that section and look forward to it next year. just keep the profanity to yourselves guys.<br> The additional singing of the national anthem when the band is playing it. don't be selfsh and draw attention to yourself while you are making a mockery of the song at the same time, as well as drawing attention away from what the song signifies. let the band play it or the vocalist sing it, if you ever get asked to sing for the game, be my guest, uuntil then, stop!<br><br>There's my opinion on the fans of the tournament. I'm sure i missed alot and forgot alot more, so let's hear what you all think about this.<br> <p></p><i></i>
