Here's a list of per capita income by municipality: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Minnesota_locations_by_per_capita_income Interesting that 7 of the top 10 are towns around Lake Minnetonka. And not a single state champ...dare I say...ever from this area??? First state champ on the list is Ed...

So RESPECT...You are saying you would rather have a kid go play on the 3rd or 4th line on a NAHL team than play on the top line of their respective high school team. The thing that cracks me up are the kids that leave high school early and than they wind up playing D3. Its like going to Blake High ...

We all know that minnesota high school produces more college and pro players. They have a larger number of elite hockey players too. So we know that minnesota has more good hockey players. The question that I want to debate is If you made a team with the top high school players from the whole state...

Leading the USHL in playoff scoring. http://ushl.stats.pointstreak.com/scoringleaders.html?leagueid=49&seasonid=6932 Which of the three players do you think has had the greatest impact? Rau 7 pts, 5 pts off PP, 1EN, 2 GWG & +3 Isackson 6 pts, 3 pts off PP, +6 Jacobson 6 pts, 1 pts off PP, 1...

Seems pretty clear that the MI, WI, MN-U18 pool contained the best three teams in the showdown. Too bad one of them could not have been in the other pool to create a real championship game. That's ok, still great hockey and the kids got amazing exposure per usual. Seems pretty clear the order of fi...

I am a bit late- Great convo! I just want to chip in with Roseau cause of the small town just getting it done! Actually you are a very smart puck for pointing out an obvious flaw in the formula being used. You see the formula weights down the accomplishments of teams who are classified "class ...

The MSHSL voted to add a 7th class in football comprised of the states largest 32 teams starting in 2012. This was based on a coaches recomendation due, in large part to just 3 schools; Eden Prairie, Wayzata, and Minnetonka. The original proposal was for 16 teams but was expanded to 32 teams essent...

What is the "A" vs "AA" weighting when calculating points? Is it arbitrary or did you use some statistical method? Class A points were calculated at 36% of Class AA points. The 0.36 I came up with was the result of comparing the PageStat ratings of every Class A team to every Cl...

Becareful observer, your getting pretty far out there on that limb when you start making statements like this...

"Choices" are great! Choosing to stay down at a level lower than your capabilities, TO collect trophies, is a shameful one. We all know that the faculty from STA are reading this........ Could we get some reasoning from YOU? Thump!!! Did you hear that? I just fell out of my chair after re...

"MSHSL has created a two tier system with the ability for private schools(STA) to exploit the lower tier" ~ogelthorpe ogelthorpe is from St. Cloud and plans on having his kid/kids attend Cathedral. He has a current St. Cloud A Squirt. Isn't it great to live in America where we have "...

The core of the issue is the option to move up. MSHSL has created a two tier system with the ability for private schools to exploit the lower tier. If MSHSL would simply not allow schools to opt up this would no longer be an issue. You would end up with a small school and large school champion. Now...

Cary Eades from North Dakota has been there both days. UMD had an assistant at the rink yesterday and Scott Sandelin there today. I think we have now confirmed how connected and knowledgeable Getemupscout actually is.... Maybe he is talking about Alabama-Huntsville, AIC, and UConn? I can assure you...

HS Hockeywatcher, Fair enough. My comments were directed at STA because that has been the topic of the thread. I think Breck should move up as well. Totino too. Probably Blake as well. I don't think any of these schools should be forced to go, but they should do it to respect the purpose of the two...

I am certainly not trying to disparage any of the "all Conference" selections (including honorable mention) for the South Suburban Conference. But, just do the math. The number of players named All conference or "honorable mention" All conference, (per this list) is 53 players. ...

I've talked to a lot of scouts and most will not be attending. D3 schools will be the NAHL playoffs and Most D1 USHL . Tournament has lost a lot of luster.

USHL and back to existing community (there is a way around that when it is a private to public trans.)

I believe, and by no means do I know that I am right, that the MSHSL decided to go to two classes to help grow hockey. To let more schools have more excitement. This it definitely has done. Not only have smaller public schools gained in hockey, but as has been stated small private schools who had l...

Rosters are posted on followthepuck.com - Anyone know of players who declined an invitation? Based on the Section 2A/2AA roster it looks like every kid asked from Edina and Breck must have declined. Does Giles ignor this tourney? It is surprising to not see one Edina kid involved. I know of Heinone...

We'll see how your attitude changes once they get really good. Maybe you won't care IDK. In 3 years, they will be in the AA sections finals In 4 years, the AA state tournament Sorry to bring in STA, but this one needed to be answered being that it came from a known STA guy. An answer could clear so...
