How can anyone be excited about Eden Prairie and Hermantown in the Tournament?

With all the recruiting in these two programs, how can anyone be excited about them in the tournament? This isn't Minnesota High School Hockey.

This should be in the Hermantown thread.....I’m thinkin

Love this tweet from Dave Spehar

"Why did they only introduce Lee Smith as head coach. He is also head recruiter..."

No team has brought in as many players as Smith in the 2000's! I can't believe the Eden Prairie community! Plus the stuff the guy has gotten away with over the years is appalling.

As much as I loathe the obtuse Hermantown school officials & boosters keeping them in class a...I’ll be totally OK if they’re the single a champs. And I’ll be OK if EP wins AA. Every school pulls in 2 or 3 kids who didn’t play squirts & PeeWee in their system...HT & EP are simply worse than most (when it comes to recruiting) HS Varsity players

At least they put Hermantown on the same side of the bracket as the other Private. We’re guaranteed a Public to cheer for in the final.

Go Warroad and Moorhead!
