When AA teams stop playing A teams (or aren't allowed to plan A teams), this whole issue will be resolved. It always befuddles me when people think this is the answer public dismay with said top A team. While it very well may fix that issue and they might decide to move up, it creates another layer...

Not the wisest of moves to go sit idle on a NA3HL bench. Had he remained at Cloquet he likely is playing this Saturday in the semi against Rapids. I hope the kid has a great junior career but make no mistake hockey won't get any easier or "fair". So I guess you are saying the goalie that ...

Since, not sense and it was 2005 last time trip to state for Elks, so yeah should move down to A........... My bad coach , but this is still not answering my question why would cloquet move down. Let’s say Andover stumbles to Grand Rapids assuming Rapids beats Elk River , cloquet would be the most ...

Agree to disagree. There's just too many good hockey programs up north still. By cramming them all to one section it'll be Moorhead or Duluth east at state most years. Instead of both. And not sure how much sense it makes to have two teams in the same section on opposite sides of the state. We've b...

I don’t get the bandwagon with everyone saying cloquet needs or should go to single A , they are not getting killed every season like ST Francis was . Maybe Elk River wants to drop down to single A with that logic , they have not made it to the state tournament sense 2001. Since, not sense and it w...

You go to that alignment and it just about becomes an all metro state tournament being there is rarely a participant from the southern part of the state . There needs to be two schools potentially representing the north down at the Excel! Hockey is already metro centric as is all the sports, that i...

Football has a rule change proposal that would mandate scheduling every team in your section to make seeding schools for playoffs a more straight forward endeavor. Mankato West, for example, can only play New Prague in their section during the regular season. Hockey could do the same, have every sc...

I like the idea! But as you pointed out, this makes seeding HUGE! I think you would need to move to a more uniform seeding method (QRF or something similar) just so you dont have coaches bias play a factor in the seeding process. I don't know exactly how the seeding process works. Maybe each sectio...

Not absolutely sure but I think they may have hosted Rapids in 2010.

I think you are right.

They beat Rapids 6-0. I just looked it up.

They hosted the 4/5 game last year against Elks

Elks at CEC has the makings of a revenge game for ER for the Esse shenanigans at Tobies a few years back. CEC Had them beat in Jaremko’s junior year at the now defunct Olympic arena in Elk River before a late 😏 PP. Has the box square like ER Olympic size rink (it always seemed shorter than 200’) be...

Grand Rapids vs Duluth East section final incoming , The Amsoil wants it to happen / needs it to happen for attendance =D> It would be huge, but there were actually a lot of Andover fans there last year for the final too. Student section was full and lots of other fans. They were louder than the Ea...

Rapids is definitely locked in as we roll into sections. Playing lights out defense. Haven't allowed more than 2 goals in over a month. Clafton GAA below 1.70. Cloquet was getting pretty frustrated late in the game, couldn't buy a goal so laid a cheap cross check against Young in the closing minute...

Does DE game against Superior count towards QRF?

Just cranking it up for playoffs! Perfect opportunity to “highlight” thumping of hounds and get a little dig in at the same time...amazing thing is how many of those “good” teams didn’t get the W in Duluth yet the “relatively bad” team gets a shutout.

Not talking to you , I am talking to the Andover fan that’s disrespecting the northern teams thinking it’s going to be a cake walk. Clearly a narcissistic northerner.... The team he disrespects most is ER by calling them relatively bad, while not disputing that, I find it interesting that you focus...

QRF makes no sense at all.... East losses to ER 5-0 yet goes up 4.8 point in QRF and is ahead of Jacks, whom actually have a winning record @ 12-9-1 vs East 7-10-1, in addition didn't Jacks beat Hounds in first match up? CRAZY.....

Here's an even better thought, With some growth in "northern" programs how about two mostly northern/central sections? Those mentioned on first post: Cloquet DE Rapids Bemidji Moorhead Roseau Brainerd Marshall Rock Ridge? Hermantown? Add St. Cloud SCC Growth from EGF Alexandria Warroad and...

Did Andover get the flu bug also?

I heard it was an optional skate and they had about only 12 kids show up. Not talking about Monday optional skate. Tuesday skate which is today and also same day as cancelled game... Quote from the article below. "The team was scheduled to have an optional skate Monday, though Randolph stayed ...

If you can field a team play the game. If you cancel the JV fine, but this seems like trying hard to avoid a loss. Cripes, in life if people call in sick work still continues. What are we going teaching kids when quitting is the best alternative? Sorry our JV sucks, we will still run up the score o...
