Re: CEC HS Boys- Move to A?

What does CEC really gain by this move? As long as Hermantown is in 7A, that means if you are good enough to win 7A, you are good enough to win 7AA. Hermantown regularly beats the eventual AA champion. So instead of losing in the 7AA semis, CEC will get smoked in the 7A title game. Is that worth gi...

Re: Games Wednesday 11-23-22

Grand Rapids 3 Hibbing 1 Final A Rapids Power Play goal late seals the win along with an empty net goal. Didn't get to see the game. Any overall thoughts on it? Despite the loss, I think this game is certainly something Hibbing can build off of. Boyer saving 33-35 is excellent. 8) Overall I liked H...

Re: 2022-23 Early Departures

After perusing the past “Early Departures” pages, a couple things stood out to me that refute the idea that winning at the HS level is no longer important to today’s players and that more and more top talent are and will continue to choose other routes. • The list doesn’t seem to be getting signific...

Re: 2022-23 Early Departures

I feel like a "hockey has changed, kids don't care about playing with their friends and winning a HS title" sweeping statement is made every year or two, and yet unless someone has some actual data showing a significant increase in eventual MN D1 players leaving HS early, I call BS. Is the...

Re: Section 7A 2022-23

Hibbing only lost two impact players, so they're bringing back a ton of experience. I think the team will be similar to last year: strong defense and goaltending, but offensively limited. If they can get the power play going and just get a little more production overall, they certainly could get the...

Extremely interesting. I remember Duluth Marshall people complaining how their players were treated poorly when they were going through the Hermantown youth system. Wonder what treatment eventual Stella Maris kids will get while in the Herm youth ranks? :?:

Enrollment Numbers (according to the MSHSL website and its listed co-ops).
