USA Hockey Nationals: High School division
Edina won the Junior Gold A tournament in the 7th overtime. Minnesota is sending a representative to USA Hockey Nationals where they will compete in the "Pure" division.
It will give a sense of how high school hockey compares to JGA.
Obviously Varsity hockey in Minnesota is a whole 'nother level.

Just a guess on my part, but I would think that a team in this would have to be registered with "USA Hockey" and I'm guessing the MSHSL wouldn't allow that.TheHockeyDJ wrote:Is this national tourney only open to junior gold teams in Minnesota, or could a team like Lakeville North or Edina play in it?

I'm going to predict they win their pool. In the finals the only team that gives them a game is Regis Jesuit out of Colorado. Christian Brothers College HS and Saint Louis University HS out of Missouri are decent programs I've heard of before too. I could be totally wrong and the competition level is higher than that. Looking at the Combined Division (which is supposed to be lower) there are some teams out of the midwest I recognize (Dubuque, Omaha, Kansas City, Rushmore out of South Dakota) that I would say are probably the level of play of a decent A school. I'll be interested in following this tournament.

I haven't seen any of these teams, but the hs hockey in Alaska is not very good. I think the state champion up here West Anchorage would get beat by 10 goals if they played any of the top 20 teams from MN.SCBlueLiner wrote:I'm going to predict they win their pool.

Yeah, they did this in previous years as sophomores and juniors.O-townClown wrote:Am I correct in that you are saying they did those things prior to this season?green4 wrote:It will be interesting to see how it goes for the JGA team from Edina. Half the team played JV, one kid got into the Varsity line up 2 or 3 games as a Junior and one played Varsity for AHA.

Talk about chasing trophies. Edina doesn't win the state tourney. Then they don't win bantam or pee wee. The town is in shambles. But there is hope. Let's send our junior golds to some tourney no one cares about and bring home another trophy to place in our "empty" case! Edina is so full if themselves they need to ensure a championship somewhere to keep their " place" as champions!! Hilarious!!!!
Don't see East or other prominent teams doing this.
Hermantown the runner ups six years in a row don't even feel the need to!!! At least Hermantown will wait for trophies that matter instead of fabricating a championship trophy to place in their case!!!

I am assuming they attend this tournament every year after they win JR Gold tournament. These are apparently the "rejects" that didnt make varsity, this is their season! Hell they could beat a lot of HS teams.

This is for the Junior Gold A team, not Varsity. They did win the State JGA Championship, the prize besides being champion is that you get a chance to play at nationals.grandmeadowhockeyfan wrote:Talk about chasing trophies.

The reason East or Hermantown does not do this is that they don't have Junior gold hockey. I believe there is just one team for the whole Duluth area for Junior Gold. If they would have won state however, they would be at nationals.
You should research or read the previous posts in detail before making blind accusations.

Maybe you should make a topic about it?grandmeadowhockeyfan wrote:At least the beloved Edina teams have their trophy! Will they hang that trophy in braemer? I imagine they should. Keep chasing those trophy's HORNETS! Just remember 90% if the excel cheering for duluth east with 5 seconds left when east sealed the W vs the most arrogant, hated, team in the state!
I am sure they will put it by the rest of the JGA trophies they have accumulated!

The thing I am looking forward to most at next years state tourney! At the lower level of the excel they have the state champions for all levels of hockey. There won't be any Edina hornet pictures. BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Oh I forgot they won their JR gold A championship against the other wha ten cities that actual have this team level, BE PROUD Edina faithful. I better get my spot reserved on the street for the parade down Edina mainstreet and the speech by the king, er, I mean Giles. Does any one have the parade route handy so I can plan to get there.

You are on a roll. JV and Jr Gold are two different things, lets get that straight first.grandmeadowhockeyfan wrote:The thing I am looking forward to most at next years state tourney!
