How's that working for 0-5 Marshall and their AA move? They lose to unranked single A team Proctor?! All while taking kids from all around the northland to include Wisconsin? 😙 As the old saying goes, Rome was not built in a day. it will get there and when they do, Hermantown will really feel the p...

The game will be shown on TV locally on My9, and there is also a live stream available from iFan- http://www.ifan.tv/page/show/871427-live-webcast I think Marshall will benefit from this move to AA in a few years but it will be tough for the next couple of them. I think that as they get more exposu...

No matter what the people from Hermantown try to tell you if you have watched them over the years they are good. Sure, right now they may have a hiccup here and there but across the board they are always very good. Plante is a near genius when it comes to systems and teaching them. His work with Def...

By the way, this is a very simple issue. I could tell you five to seven minutes into a Bantam game if it is going to be a high risk injury game or not. If the ref makes the appropriate calls, there will likely be no problems. If the ref appears to enjoy watching blow up hits by 13 you and swallows ...

28-0 Not sure that Hermantown's goaltending will be that good. 28 - 1 The only chance that anybody has to beat Hermantown this year is going to be to have a goalie who is capable of handling about 70 shots and to go full on offense to try to outscore them. I watched them play parts of a few games (...

Those arguments were made before checking was removed from PeeWees and were ignored. You all are missing the point here. This is more about the number of kids staying in hockey and their money than it is about player safety. When checking was being looked at the main points that were made on the si...

No question north out played SW last and they didn't get much help between the pipes but they also gave up some awfully good scoring chances that the ponies cashed in on. In my opinion the shot clock totals were dubious at best, very one sided but I'm willing to bet the number was greater than 12. ...

I went to Bantam game Rosemount vs Spring Lake Park this last weekend. My experience was very interesting. It seems to me that neither the players nor the parents are prepared for body contact. Poor #X for SLP, I will spare him his number but he is one of the dirtiest Bantam players I have seen. No...

LOL!! DJ your rapids team has enough to worry about with Tonka and BSM coming up. Especially after that great scrimmage Indians put on last week vs BSM :roll: :roll: :roll: That post had nothing to do with that, just don't tell me a goalie played well in every game when he gave up 5 goals in that g...

Spoken like a true fan of an overrated team! "good old knee-jerk reactions we see every year after one game"....or nothing like a Indian fan with black and orange colored glasses on annointing the boys of IRA 2016 state champs back in July. You mad bro? not one bit. hoping to have beers w...

So where was the break down at for Rapids? I keep hearing about this 2 line combo they have who are going to light the place up and they only scored 1 goal.

East usually does have a slower start to the season, however they have a strong number of players returning. My only question with East is their goaltending. I think East has a good shot at being really good out of the gate and despite what the rankings say or what Mike Randolph tries to say, they ...

I was surprised as well that Burt got the start in goal, but I trust Klatt knows what he's doing. I would think Stejskal and Holum get a chance to start within the next two weeks. At Virginia in the least would be a good place for a sophomore to get a shot. I didn't see a lot of the game because th...

Looks like DM is going to have to drag the tackle through the Hermantown area to see if any of those kids are looking for an opportunity to move up and play some big boy hockey.

Pat yourselves on the backs hockey dad's as "Made" made your player what he is today! If you don't think coaching has an impact on how a player develops, you're daft. I can't tell you how many parents I've heard over the years say that what their associations provide for practices doesn't...

People do lots of things often and still do it poorly.... Perhaps East is too high, but if so the only question I have with them is in goal. East will start Meierhoff in goal this year. He played several high school games last year and did ok in there. I am more confident about who East will have i...

I wish HTown were AA this year. I would love to see them beat DEast in 7AA and then beat Edina in the semis and then lose to Bemidji in the finals. :D Well, we all have our little fantasies. Some are just more realistic than others, like mine with some Victoria's Secret Models vs elliott's. :lol: I...

I'm not sure why everyone is so high on Denfeld. Ranier is right, Denfeld has very little coming back. Also Alander may be a good goalie but he had a good team in front of him last year. I'd like to think Greenway can get the #3 seed but aside from their game against Hibbing in the Sectionals, they...

Don't forget to mention beautiful downtown Hermantown. With its old world shops on main street. Reminds me of a Rockwell painting from Oldtimers generation. Is that the one with the old guys sitting around a barrel with a fire pit in the back ground talking about how the postal service made the Her...

My brother is still in hornet land and gave me his opinionated update after watching the first 3 nights of Edina tryouts: D locks are Phillips, Mickelson, Tabor, Johnson and Foley. Last spot probably to M. Hankinson or Hatch (both seniors). F locks are Dornbach, Tucker, Moon, Copeland, Walker, Sche...

The stats prove Rapids has a deeper roster. Again, I'll take any bet that Mattson alone plays more NHL games in his career than East's roster combined. Also, East's talent is younger. Rapids top line has more skill and far more muscle. At the end of the day, we are just looking at paper and the sea...

This would be a rules violation in every league ever. Just an example from USA Hockey: Rule 308 Electronic Devices (a) The use of one or two-way radios, lights or other electronic devices as a means for Team Officials or spectators to communicate with players or goalkeepers, during play, shall be p...

Sure but not before they get exposed to huge risk and get blown up on several occasions by a much larger & faster player than what's bouncing around in the pee wee ranks. Dozens made this observation years ago and tried to communicate what, even before the change, seemed pretty obvious. Didn't ...

My preseason top 4 is DEAST, Cloquet, Elk River, and Grand Rapids. (In no particular order.) DMarshall is looking at #5 or #6. You do know K. Bender left CEC for the NAHL MN Wilderness don't you? I have a hard time seeing CEC get into the top 3 until their current bantam players transition to the H...
