3A 2017-2018
Goldy apparently still on sabbatical so let’s get the party started: prohibitive favorite is Luverne. Lost 1 defender, 2 forwards and the goalie. Everyone else back with Tofteland ready and able to take the net. Some good reserves and some real good Bantams moving up. Who will be the challengers?

Luverne-16
Fairmont-0
Mankato East-4
Hutch-2
Holy Family-9
Litch-0
Redwood-6
Windom-1
New Ulm-1
Lourdes-2
Tough game for Hutch right out of the gates. I'm a little surprised by the Redwood vs. Windom score. With the loss of Stremcha and Sommers I thought this might be a bit closer. Did I miss any games?

Thought the same thing about Windom, they lost two close games to Waconia and Litchfield then get thumped by RV.CherryPicker99 wrote:Tuesday Scores from 3A

First full Hockey roster for Worthington in a number of years but team is overall very inexperienced and has three kids back from serious injuries last year. Freshman goalie played a solid game tonight but Marshall had the Trojans bottled up in their own end too much of the game. First game of the season at a tough place to play - I am biased but I think this group will surprise some teams this season who have no reason to take Worthington seriously based on recent history. Minnesota River tomorrow who gave Luverne a decent game tonight but lost 5-1.

Are you talking about Minnesota River?formersection3Afan wrote:Good start for the club. When you leave, have it better than when you arrived.better late wrote:Luverne 5 Minnesota River 1, SOG 48-22
I'm just glad they changed their name from LSPHTCUC or was it LSHSPCTCU, or LPCTCUSPH? The Cleveland, LeSueur-Henderson, Tri-City United, St. Peter coop sure needed an easier name to remember.
I have seen every Marshall game this season (3) and to answer your question: No, this will be business as usual for Luverne 5-0, 6-0, 7-0, take your pick. Marshall has no one to match up with Kasyn Kruse.Yuge wrote:Section Championship rematch tomorrow night in Luverne. The Cards have not been challenged two games in, anyone seen Marshall play and can they keep this one close?
In football, wrestling, volleyball, basketball, baseball country, Luverne focuses upon ice hockey and it shows on the ice.
What I like about this year's Marshall team is that they have only a few seniors, and their best players are junior or younger. They will be better in the next two years, but still not at Luverne's level. The sophomore defenseman, Kaleb Welvaert, is fun to watch. He is a very good skater.

Marshall will be kicking themselves all the way home tonight, Luverne was doing everything possible to lose a game but hung on. Marshall's Plante and Welvaert are nice looking players and the Goalie also played well. The Cards were off all night, they gave up basically a ENG when their goalie got caught off guard behind the net. Kruse had a great one timer set up from Serie for the Cards 1st goal followed by a PP goal from Dman Roberts. Kruse scored a highlight reel goal late in the 3rd to put it out of reach.

They also lost Ward and Zwack, by far their two best players last year. They beat Chisago Lakes last night in a section final rematch 4-1 and are 4-0 on the season. Big game against Orono tomorrow night.Yuge wrote:Yea, that was ugly.

Monticello is a average team playing in the worst section in the state.GoldyGopher wrote:They also lost Ward and Zwack, by far their two best players last year.

Average team is accurate. Worst section in the state is not something you can accurately say 4-5 games into the season. 3A is awful again too. But then again you seem to be an expert so you probably have all the facts that back up your theory.Yuge wrote:Monticello is a average team playing in the worst section in the state.GoldyGopher wrote:They also lost Ward and Zwack, by far their two best players last year.

To the Parents of SPA/Summit Students... The message the AD and Coaching Staff just sent to YOUR Athletes might not be worth $32k + per year.... JMO.
Christ, you are already allowed unrestricted geographical access to players and allowed to play in a League that IS restricted to geographical access.
So when the going get's tough, get running I guess is the message?
