Maple Grove is going ALL THE WAY! They will play some good hockey too. According to one of the players I know says they are more worried about Blaine game on Friday. Easy 6-2 victory is what I am hearing. See you at the fairgrounds...Go MG!

I would have to agree with goalie85 on the fact that there are so many more viable options for players nowdays. Even if things are watered down from program to program - more players have the opportunity to develop and enjoy the game. I had a player that was a 93 and a younger player that is a 2000....

Maple Groves goalie played well - settled down after giving up an early goal to the Hounds. He controlled the first shots and didn't give up big rebounds. Expected the Duluth team to be more physical and after setting a fast pace to the game it seemed as the pace of the game fell into Maple Groves f...

Duluth East should handle the inexperienced Crimson squad. The only thing that will hold Maple Grove in this game is their goaltender who has made some nice improvement to his game. If he has an off night it could be worse than a 5-2 victory by Duluth East! Number 23 for the Crimson team will have t...

I don't think that will be happening anytime soon! Wishful thinking...it is to cool to beat up on all the other teams with half the talent depth on the roster. It makes those adult beverages taste better when teams are on those out of town excursions. javascript:emoticon(':?')

THE FUSION! Isn't this a NEW DANCE craze...it will be taking us back to the next DISCO era. Here they are going to hang the spinning disco balls at the rinks at MM.

Snowball dance between periods of games - just like the old roller rinks. It should be fun!

I don't believe the player from Hudson was flown in. It is not uncommon for AAA teams to have players from Wisc. on roster.

As much as I would like to see Maple Grove prevail in this tilt I do NOT think it will happen. Anytime the CRIMSON have a big game against a highly ranked team it never seems to happen.
