Re: The Rise of the North in Coming Years?

It would be nice if Hermantown was to opt up to AA, then Andover could play with the north suburbs, where they belong.

Re: Section 8 potential seeding

My alma mater Eagles knock off TRF 5-2. Don’t know if or when that’s ever happened. Go purple! Red ...

Re: Games Thursday 1-30-25

Rapids / Rock Ridge. 4 - 4 tie. Shots 47 - 30 in favor of Rapids. Very entertaining game. Would be a great rematch in sectionals.

Casey stinking it up in the nets for Rapids. The way he’s played in recent games is not encouraging. Rapids has pretty much dominated this game.

I looked for the game, but MNHockey.tv wouldn't load the stream. Dumb.
You can LIVE STREAM most of Bemidji’s games free on HUDL. Fun team to watch.

Re: Class A Championship #1 seed 7A Hermantown (20-8-2) vs #3 seed 5A St. Cloud Cathedral (25-4-1)

Congratulations to the Crusaders and their coaches who put together a great game plan. Both teams left it all on the ice. Maybe the Hawks need to drop down another class to get that next title. Oh, my bad…that’s not available yet 😎 I was wondering who'd be the first to throw THAT subject out there!...

Re: Thanks Lou

Love Louie! I’m from Rapids and he’s always been very complimentary of our team, band and fans. Everyone used to whine about him favoring Edina and the city schools, but I didnt see it that way . I thought he was mostly impartial even when calling his son and grandson’s games. Thanks for everything ...

Re: All-Metro State Tournament

Agree blueline. I’m good with 2 northern sections and 6 from the southern part of the state. The majority of the population is closer to the metro and should be represented that way. I’m also good with the Elk Rivers and Andovers playing in 7 and 8. They make those sections better. The strongest pr...

Re: Grand Rapids vs Andover - Section 7AA Final

Grand Rapids could not have picked a worse time to play their worst game since the Maple Grove debacle 6 weeks ago. They were obviously tighter-than-tight, with countless mishandled pucks, fanned shots and numerous passed pucks that slid across the ice to nowhere. Most of this sloppy play was self-...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

Streaming this 7AA final. Sad to say but north eastern MN hockey is dead other than Hermantown. Yet they still choose to sand bag. If they move up, the area might not be considered an after thought in hockey circles. Here’s to hoping they move up for northerners prides sake. Maybe I'm taking your s...

I overheard a Hermantown fan say between periods of the Rapids/Hawks game a couple weeks ago…the Rapids players are so big. We can’t ever go up to AA. Our kids aren’t big enough. 😳

Re: Games Wednesday 2-23-22

The boarding major and open ice knee major both looked legit to me. So was the slashing penalty that gave Rapids a 2 man advantage. East came hot out of the gate, probably their only chance to try to get up a couple and get Rapids to clench their sticks. It was exciting but I wasn't concerned. Rapi...

Re: Games Friday 1-28-22

Rapids goaltending against better teams has not been very good, to say the least. Don’t see him stealing any wins when they may need that in the next few games and then sectionals. Definitely expected better play from that position!

What a joke of a post. What was it 2 penalty’s on each team in the third? Yeah the refs decided they weren’t letting them out of memorial with a win! The 5 was blatant. Go watch the replay, it might be at the next officiating seminar as an example of a major penalty. Three feet away from the boards...

Re: Games Friday 12-10

Proven once again tonight, that you get the worst homer reffing in the state when playing at Roseau. Rapids was up 3-1 going into the third when the refs decided they were not going to let Rapids leave Memorial Arena with a W. They called a 5 minute major on Rapids with six minutes left, followed b...
