Re: Moving from AA to A

My thoughts would be looking at the least most of the Bottom 7 & 8 seeds in AA are same teams every year that never get out of the 1st round. Instead of having those routs do top 48 to AA gives the #1 and #2 seeds get a bye in AA Sectionals which again would be basically what is happening now An...

Re: The Rise of the North in Coming Years?

Would love to see Hibbing make a run at a title or two. Would give me renewed interest. It will be interesting to see if a team besides Mahtomedi, SCC, Warroad, EGF or maybe Orono can win an A title. Outside of Hibbing looking at the youth I think Delano is your other best bet. Others in mix: Thief...

Youth hockey success in a single year may not be a great indicator of high school success. I watched the Peewee AA and A state tournaments are in Shakopee this weekend. Even on the best teams it’s likely half or fewer of the players will make the varsity team in the future. High School success is m...
