Re: The Gentry Academy Thread

I'm hoping Gentry will expand and open satellite schools in Duluth, Moorhead, St. cloud, EGF, Rochester, and eventually Mankato. Watching Gentry-Lake Superior play Gentry-Great Plains in the tourney would be a dream come true. Heck, with the right geographic strategy, an all-Gentry tourney could be ...

Re: Class A QF - Dodge County vs Hermantown

I wish Hermantown would move to AA as do most people because I feel they can compete at the AA level.... But I'm enjoying the "this is a very boring A tournament" talk now that the Hawks have left the dance. Sometimes there's a "be careful what you wish for" feeling. Having a vi...

Very true, and apparently the JV hadn't skated for 3 weeks, so who knows what they could have done if fully primed?

Re: Class A QF - Dodge County vs Hermantown

Well that was weird.

There are few things in life sweeter than watching Hermantown lose at state, but this was no fun. I'm glad the JV kids got their moment under the lights though.

Good luck to DC in the next round! 8)

Re: Hermantown JV to play Dodge Co.

So, I barely follow Class A at all; what are the odds of Hermantown winning with their JV? There’s a chance, especially if Plante is able to give it a go and is near his normal self. This suddenly becomes the most interesting game of the day tomorrow. I have to think DC's varsity d-men will be more...

In the Twitter thread from Sam Ali, there is a post from what is ostensibly a Hermantown parent and/or coach: "Wait till you hear the whole story....you will see it for what it is/fake/revenge etc." It's Twitter, so obviously I have no idea if there is any truth here, but if so, it adds an...

Re: The Gentry Academy Thread

If you look at Mahtomedi's roster this year and the past few years, they also have players from several communities. So nice try with the blaming because they are private. A top program private or public, in both A and AA don't need to recruit. Players show up because they want to be a part of a wi...

Re: Section 7AA Final - Andover vs Grand Rapids

I thought the writing was on the wall when Rapids couldn't convert on their three PPs in the first period. Offensive firepower was always this team's Achilles Heel, and when they didn't take the early chances they got, it spelled trouble. Garrett Schifsky was the difference-maker, along with Will L...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

With the bantam goalie a transfer from Hibbing. Hibbing's sophomore goalie had a .935 sv% against teams other than Hermantown this season, so I'd imagine the goalie that transferred would have had a tough time getting playing time before his senior year. Goalie does seem to be the one spot that Her...
