Somebody who wasted their money going to the Hermantown game tonight can answer that one. Last I heard it was 9 to 0.

I played Hockey from 6-18 years old, so please explain the "grueling" trek from Grand Rapids..... IMO We felt more intensity , more of a build up on a little road trip Not saying they can or will, but if GR plays like they did the last 7 minutes against ER, then DE will lose by a couple g...

Since Hermantown doesn't have any seeds, shouldn't this thread be moved to the girls forum? Priceless!!!! epitome of what is wrong with Hermantown in A is stated in original post "at least two or maybe three teams in Class A that may have on outside chance." Congrats on hanging another ba...

If this is true, I expect Jeffy and Rainier to donate handsomely to the Hermantown rink fund. "Desperately" is an understatement. Not sure how this affects the High School classification. The Youth program could use the extra sheet, it doesn't affect the High School team. High Schools get...

Yes, players The lack of overall discipline at Grand Rapids over the past few years continues to astound. Yes, this team appeared to lack discipline and it shows in results of some games. Their top end players are very good, but this is and will hurt them. Klatt should pull a Dickie Johnson and let...

#2? Who's better, greenway or Hibbing? Interesting. I'd put it Hermantown JV #1, Greenway #2, Hibbing #3, VirginiaMIB #4. I think Hermantown varsity still might have a slight edge over the Hermantown JV in 7A. Of course they do! I'm saying Hermantown JV takes the varsity teams spot in 7A. That begs...

But I'm not going to go any further than that quite yet. As I posted that response I...

Saw Hermantown vs. Lakeville South. I was a little underwhelmed, but still think they're the best team in Class A. If and when they get the offense rolling, they'll have a combination of depth and star power that no one else in the class has. Maybe not quite as deep as last year, especially on D, t...

Just way too many involved with vested interests, is what it comes down to. I'd pay an extra fifty+ to have some Wisconsin evaluators/coaches do the deciding.... Man, how different things would be!

I think it won't be long before the parents of the kids will not want them stigmatized by having them skate on a B team so it will become AAAA, AAA, AA and A will be the new house league level. ALL will get a trophy saying they were a champ at the A level of hockey in MN.

It's been rumored for over a week and Bruce Ciskie announced it on the radio this morning.
Wonder if he will be able to slow down or derail the rail line to Hermantown. Would be nice to see them have some success.

Re: Class A semifinal: SPA vs. Hermantown

Does SPA have a chance? Anything could happen on any given day so yes they do have a chance. The coach is going to have to channel Herb and give them The Speech that was first delivered in 1980 in order for them to though. I have watched both of them play a few times and the main difference is goin...
