My games to watch: 1. Edina-Cretin 2. Maple Grove-Centennial 3. Eden Prairie-Prior Lake 4. Minnetonka-Eastview 5. Wayzata-Buffalo 6. Elk River-Champlin Park 7. Rosemount-Delano 8. Grand Rapids-Duluth East Centennial is so unpredictable. When they are on, the cougars can play with just about anyone....

Bemidji put up a lot of shots, but honestly, their scoring chances were few and far between. Lots of long range shots from the perimeter. Not a lot of quality shots. But good for Richie. He stopped all but one. Interesting observation. I didn’t get a chance to catch the game, but that strategy is w...

Flipping back-and-forth between the Hermantown and Warroad games, I think those two may be the best teams in the state regardless of class. Their matchup next weekend should be epic.

Northern Lakes top 2 defenseman have left the team in the past couple of weeks for tier 3 junior teams. Thanks for the info. That explains some of their struggles of late. Kind of a weird situation, but to each their own path, I guess. I also added the Detroit Lakes game to Warroad’s schedule. The ...

They were both once in the St. Paul City Conference weren’t they? If that is so tradition dictates they play! Yessir. HM, CDH, and STA all joined in 1977-78. HM and STA departed after the 86-87 season, while CDH stayed through 2003 (I obviously had to look that info up.) The Pioneers won the confer...

1.2.22 Rankings The holiday events were actually helpful in many cases in terms of separating the wheat from the chaff. (Except for ones like Warroad and Little Falls that didn't challenge hosts whatsoever.) I was really plumbing the depths for the final three, and would have liked to give #17 the b...

#8 Providence Academy- Went 3-0 in the Granite City Classic and beat a Solid AA Sartell in OT to cap off the weekend. #14 St Cloud Cathedral- Went 3-0 at their home Granite City Classic picked up two section wins and the big over their big cross town rival. Just fyi, Providence and St. Cloud regula...

Hey everyone! I am still alive and watching some hockey, but just late to the party in realizing the forum is back up and running. The holiday tournaments were surprisingly revealing regarding a number of teams. I didn’t expect much going in, but we definitely found out a few teams that were paper t...

#12 Providence Academy 3 Holy Family 2 The Lions won a big road game over Holy Family behind Louie Wehmann’s 2 goal night and the emergence of sophomore goalie Evan Villagomez who has 35 saves and improved his record to (5-0-0) on the year. Random observation, but his dad, Chad, was an excellent go...

Gentry now up 5-4 with about 4 minutes left

Does Wayzata ever play a normal Tuesday or Thursday midweek game?

How old was Willard Ikola when he decided to retire? If memory serves he coached high school hockey for over 30 years, and I don't recall folks calling for him to retire. Not saying that Randolph deserved his fate, particularly in the manner it happened, but comparing him to Ikola is inapt. Ikola’s...

17. Cambridg-Isanti (4-2-0) [LW NR] W 6-0 vs Princeton Here is a team I never expected to be ranking at any juncture. Yet here they are after rattling off four straight victories, coinciding with the first starts of freshman Jaxon Sibell's career. The Bluejackets were particularly impressive in rip...

I broke down and ended up whipping together a fairly quick set of rankings and write ups this week. I will probably just end up doing numerical rankings next week. 12.19.21 Rankings 1. Hermantown (6-0-0) [LW 1] W 6-0 vs Duluth Marshall, W 3-0 @ Mahtomedi No Zam, no problem. Imposed their will agains...

Princeton and Cambridge-Isanti play for the Rusty Skates traveling trophy.

The Elks may have gone 0-3 at Braemar, but they went down swinging in every game. ER has been surprisingly good and should be a factor in 8AA.

While PageStat can be used as a predictive model (which is what I do when it predicts Section tournament games) the ratings are based solely on what has already happened. The only judgement I apply is when determining what the goal differential cap is, and even this part is mostly subjective--it's ...

Final
Alex 4-1 over EGF
Gronholz with the empty-netter to complete the hat trick
Big win for Alex, EGF in a tailspin

Interesting to perhaps only myself, Denfeld has won their past three contests by 6-2 scores, and their record is now 6-2.

EGF gets a shortie from Panzer, but still 2-1 Alex after two

Hermantown and Mahtomedi 0-0 after one Shots 11-6 Hawks and generally controlled play, but Dardis held firm Stang, I take it you're here at the game. I'm top row behind the broadcast booth. Pp by H-town & Dardis playing well. Good back and forth action. Nope, I’m hundreds of miles away in Denve...

Update:
Delano pulls away from Hutch in 3rd to defeat Hutchinson 5-2

Alex 2, EGF 0 after one
Two Gronholz goals
EGF leads in shots 12-7 and dominated long stretches, but Cards scored early and late in period

This is Christmas come early news! I will be holding the Class A Rankings for 12/17/21 until this is published. PageStat is the best ranking to compare with when looking at computer based rankings and could help with the mess that is Class A Hockey after the Top 10. Also, will help withe Section by...
