So are you saying each team gets ranked each year? So if you have a good year you’ll be in AAA then a down year the next year you’re in AA or A? That would make sense. Not sure who or why the tier 1/2 system made people upset because of the ranking but it makes perfect sense. You’ll get good competi...

i’ve maintained the 35W construction both north and south the last 5 years drastically affected Mariucci attendance for both gophers and other events like HS sections . Not the only reason, but part of it . Now that is done, and there is also lighter rush hour traffic. Things seem to be coming back...

The upsets continue. Elk River 4-3 over Roseau, final. Rams came hard, but way too late. Goaltending let them down. Great job Elks!!! One northern team down one to go!!! It would be the best state tournament ever if no northern teams make it!!! Man the whining from 218 would be legendary!!! 😉 You l...

Always great to see the recruits go down. One more win. Come on Eastview you can do this!

Buffalo and/or STMA is no slouch but much nicer avoiding the Elks as they have put together a decent year. They could end up blind siding everyone. There are upsets every year in sections but I think it’s setting up to be quite an interesting post season this year.

I put together a rating system that strictly ranks you with how you do within your section. Your other body of work factors in, in no way. 2 points for every section win. Minus 2 points for every section loss. If you only play a team once, you get 3 points for a win. If you don't play a team in you...

This was discussed in another thread recently and it was determined that no one knows why for sure or if it’s a permanent change or just this year. Covid probably has a lot to do with it. Teams played less games this year as well than usual. I expect things to get back to normal once Covid pandemic ...

1992 State PeeWee Championship: Charlie Conway was hauled down by a Hawks defender on a breakaway with no time left on the clock and was awarded a penalty shot Holy crap! I'm impressed with your knowledge and memory! Thanks so much! What teams were involved in this? Amazingly, the same situation oc...

Holy crap, psycho much? That East kid obviously has issues. May want to have him looked at. Get that kid help!

Hastings lost to Hill 0-4 and STA 1-7. They also tied Tartan and have a lot of wins against average teams. No considerable wins over AA teams. I wouldn’t put them in my top 25.

Beat Andover tonight. #1 seed in the section if they beat Centennial at the end of the year. I think we’re going to see them in the top 10 tomorrow morning. Never saw this one coming.

Curious why Johnson was playing AA that year. They played Class A in 2011 and in 2013. How did they play AA for just one year?

It actually wouldn’t be complicated at all. At the end of the regular season coaches must submit playoff rosters and if you’re not on it then your season is done. It’s always been this way and still is today. If you don’t make the varsity playoff roster you go the to jv playoff roster and there are ...

The Hermantown-Cathedral game could be running time in the third. The Chan-Sartell game could be a good one. I’d do that one.

Shots were 28-27 in favor of the Rams.

Roseau #1 team in AA. Warroad now #1 in the state. Warroad has Hermantown coming up, should be a good one.

Only 8 teams make it to state in each class so there are no guarantees unless you transfer to Hermantown and play in a section where the other teams are light years behind you. Johnny could transfer and still not make the state tourney. What surprises me, with the non-enforcement of the transfer rul...

You’d think the MSHSL would make a bigger deal of the section finals. It would be great to go see a couple games per night at the same venue within a few days. Surprised they don’t even televise these games on regular tv. I would think a lot of people would watch to see who makes state plus they’re ...

So far this year Hermantown has beaten Benilde 6-5, Hill-Murray 4-1 and Wayzata 2-1 and they jump down to Class A for the playoffs. How ridiculous? Hermantown is a disgrace not only to the game of hockey but humanity as well.

You’re fooling yourself if you actually think Hermantown doesn’t recruit. All of the top teams do and it’s well known but that shouldn’t be the issue. If the league wanted to enforce the recruiting rule they would and EP, Tonka, Lakeville etc… would all have to stop. The problem with Hairmantown is ...

I’m NOT implying foul play by WBL at all and not a conspiracy theorist but it would be dumb to not look into it. Knee jerk reaction to cry conspiracy is dumb but so is knee jerk reaction to say that WBL would never ever do something like that. It should be looked into This is utter nonsense and sho...

I hear what you are saying but it’s basically a bye by another name in my eyes. With the first game not being until 1 pm now tomorrow there is time to reconfigure the games given Hill’s exit. I am not, however, stupid enough to believe the MSHSL will do anything of the sort given their inflexibilit...

Well this may actually be a close game. I don’t feel bad one bit for Hermantown. If it’s gonna happen, glad it’s them and not the ones who don’t want free handouts and like earning their way to the state tourney

Their Bantam AA and Pee Wee AA teams are cleaning up at regions and will be at state playing with the big boys. Then once they get to high school they will sandbag and play Litchfield-Dassel Kokato in the first round at state. Lol

Why not 64 classes? That way EVERYBODY goes to state. Win win! The kids will live much, much better lives because of it. And Hermantown can play in Class 64A so they make darn sure they win state every year. Yay
