The season is over and we have a bunch of great section matchups coming up! A couple big games and a little bit of moving around this week. 1. [1] Hermantown (20-3-2) (9-0) 2. [2] Totino-Grace (17-7) (3-2) 3. [3] Mahtomedi (18-6-1) (11-2) 4. [4] Cathedral (21-4) (21-2) 5. [5] Alexandria (18-5) (13-4...

With a few upsets this week, only 2 teams are ranked the same as last week. There were postponed games last week, and it looks like there might be more that aren't on schedules yet for this week. There's more snow to come, while we have important games this week. 1. [1] Hermantown (18-3-1) (8-0) Two...

There were lots of upsets this week and changes in the rankings with plenty of games this week that will likely stir things up regardless of how they go. Two weeks left before the postseason the only spot that is basically fixed is the top spot. 1. [1] Hermantown (15-3-1) (6-0) Two Hawks picked up a...

There were a couple big games last week and we have a couple more coming up this week. Multiple teams have solidified their ranking, and how they'll likely be seeded at state. Other teams are in sections with 3 team races that are heating up and going to be fun to follow at sections. 1. [1] Hermanto...

With not a lot of games played between ranked teams there hasn't been much movement lately. Last week we had a couple losses, but nothing too drastic. There are handful of games this week that could either solidify how things are or make next week more interesting. Two big section match-ups in 4A an...

Lots of games, but no upsets last week. The top 15 had one change at #15, but nothing else. If you disagree, think something should be different, or have some thoughts, let me know. 1. [1] Hermantown (10-3-1) (3-0) The Hawks are the first team to score 3 goals against Minnetonka. This week: Tues vs ...

I saw Alex at 12 and laughed. At worst, a top 8 team. :roll: Care to elaborate? They went to OT with Cathedral and beat Wayzata recently, but lost and have recent losses to Greenway and Sartell. Outside of Wayzata, Virginia is the only "quality" win they have on their schedule. They play ...

Who is voting that Greenway should be ranked in the four to six range? That seems insanely high for a 4-8 team with some bad losses along the way. Maybe the Raiders will eventually end up in that range, but they are definitely not currently performing like a top six team. I was definitely wondering...

Roseau is looking good. Their first 4 games weren't great, but they've won 8 in a row included 6-2 over Moorhead in the 2nd game on the streak. With Warroad x2, EGF x2, Greenway, and Thief River Falls, most of their remaining competition is in Class A. I'm also intrigued with whether Blake can get m...

The top 4 stayed the same, but all the other spots moved around. Both Hermantown and Mahtomedi have beaten every Class A opponent they've had and they have 5 one goal losses to AA opponents between them. Luckily, Mahtomedi still has games against 4 of the top 7 before the season is out. 1. [1] Herma...

http://minnhock.com/ps2019.htm Through 12/29/2018: 1. Hermantown 2. Mahtomedi 3. East Grand Forks 4. Cathedral 5. Totino Grace 6. Alexandria 7. Sartell 8. Marshall 9. Greenway 10. Orono 11. Warroad 12. Thief River Falls 13. Monticello 14. Denfeld 15. Northfield 16. Mankato East 17. Mound Westonka 18...

http://minnhock.com/ps2019.htm As of a week ago: 1. Hermantown 2. Mahtomedi 3. Cathedral 4. East Grand Forks 5. Totino-Grace 6. Alexandria 7. Sartell 8. Greenway 9. Orono 10. Thief River Falls 11. Monticello 12. Warroad 13. Denfeld 14. North Branch 15. Mound Westonka 16. Marshall 17. Princeton 18. M...

Lots of games last week, lots of upsets, and a little movement in the rankings. Things opened up for a lot of teams with all the losses and it makes teams below the Top 4 a matter of opinion. Many teams don't play a lot of notable teams in the near future. This coming week we have a showdown of the ...

They've only played 1 AA team this season, but it's at least cool to see Rochester Mayo still hasn't lost a game at 7-0-2.

This week they play 9-1 Rochester Century.

All this geography talk has left the chat of the team in question to the side. How did the 5 loss team who lost to Eveleth-Gilbert, Sartell, and Buffalo beat EP, shut out Prior Lake, and give Edina their only loss of the season? Running the table with their schedule seems possible. Are they now the ...

No movement in the top 9 this week, a couple lower ranked teams had bad weeks and dropped out, while a couple others who've been winning games have been added to the list. There seems to be a clear top 5, a few that are in the next tier, then lots of teams that could be mentioned out there. There's ...

There were quite a few exciting results last week with a some movement for a couple teams. There's still a few teams who haven't played a lot of Class A games and the rest of December and beginning of January are going to be super helpful. A couple distinct tiers are forming in Class A. There's only...

4 teams leaving doesn't explain why the tournament would change format for the Gold Division and why they would sit on 28 teams instead of 32.

Hopefully it isn't a sign of the tournament falling apart.

Does anybody have any knowledge of what happened between last year and this year in the Schwan Cup? 4 teams who played in the Gold Division last year, and have for many years, are not playing in the Schwan Cup this year. On top of that, the Gold Division is now a round robin instead of a bracket and...

With more games played, we have a better picture for a lot of teams, but there's still lots to be seen. Two of the Top 4 have played a combined 1 Class A opponent, while there are multiple out-state teams who have really good records, but haven't played many quality opponents. We could see movement ...

There were a handful of games among teams in the rankings, but there wasn't much moving this week because most games turned out according to the rankings. There's still 5 teams undefeated, and even more who haven't lost to Class A opponents, with lots of hockey left. It looks like there is a definit...

It looks like we're in for another exciting year of Class A hockey. Lots of familiar faces in Let's Play Hockey's preseason rankings, along with a couple new comers. It should be fun to watch as teams from many different parts of the state are competing and all sections are represented in the top 16...

The Knights won section 8AA and are making the team's first appearance at state ever.

Who would've predicted Mankato East winning 1A? That's awesome!
They are making their second state appearance, last was 2006.

It is a pretty much a given Page2stat beats the coaches......and congratulations for that! FWIW i think it is a better system than coaches voting and has far less bias than Karl. Now the question is does Page2stat beat QRF? QRF has pretty much replaced coaches voting and the AP coaches poll in foot...
