One thing I noted in that game was that Kyle Rau was willing to dish out hits and shots (admire him for this) as well as receive them and if I recall correctly (never have seen a reply) Kerr and Rau had bumped into each other a few times in the game previous to the incident you are referring to and ...

Should be an exciting trip to state for East. Where they finish? 1) Jeanetta.He has looked solid the past couple of weeks, a great time to be playing well and with confidence. 2) East escaped against Rapids but they are a formidable team. If they play well and get some breaks they will be playing Sa...

Points are very important to kids, parents, scouts etc... This is an area that coaches need to pay more attention too in the respect that they have a CONSISTANT way of dealing with the issue as well as having a CONSISTANT application. I have seen teams where certain players get every potential point...

Interesting comments as always, I would guess the Twin Cities Christmas tourney is locked in for East and would never be changed. Opportunity to generally play 3 very strong teams, as well as an opportunity for East to skate at the Excel. Even if you dont win the section planning on it and getting g...

oops

Boy this topic has gotten off the topic. Top 5 coaches of all time? Larry Ross George Perpich Willard Ikola Tom Saaterdalen Bill Lechner Honorable mention: Bob Gernander Del Genereau (Duluth Cathedral) Greg Trebil Dave Peterson (Minneapolis Southwest) Cliff Thompson (Eveleth) Gus Hendrickson Im sure...

I dont know anything about this kid but I dont think it is right to say because the Dad stepped in it is a sign of immaturity. He might be very immature, his Dad might be awful, I dont know these things but if anyone wants to negatively judge a kid or a Dad because the Dad is involved in his child's...

My two cents: 1)Bickel was missed alot by MN. Losing a player of his size and aggressiveness put other players in situations that not only didnt help but might have hurt them. If Fairchild had played with Bickel for 4 years instead of playing with guys who were not great partner matches we might be ...

I agree congratulations to the East boys for a strong season, as far as the "bull" some seniors had to deal with, I believe most of the bull came from parents. You might not like the way Randolph runs things but the way some of these parents addressed issues was FAR worse then the way Rand...

This subject is ridiculous. MN HS hockey players are doing great. Look at the WCHA schools in the state they are loaded with HS players who contribute significantly to their teams success. There are HS kids playing significant roles in other D-1 leagues, and if you want to watch some great college g...

Not to take anything away from the kid but he doesnt dress every night (which is not a good sign for a second year player) and he has 1 point in 22 game and is a -2. I would be very surprised to see him sign with MN, Wi, or CC. Yes the gophers might need big strong guys but they also need to score g...

TcoachF Charlie did not have nearly the same opportunities that Joey has had. a couple of people have piled on but I have been pleasantly surprised at the civility of most of the posts. Joey is a talented kid and playing for the Owls is not a bad thing or idea if that was one of your only options, i...

Leddy is excellant and moving forward may move up "my" list. But I would put him behind: Henry Boucha Phil Housley Neal Broten John Mayasich That is a start of a list there are many more that pop into my head Kreiger, Shelstad, Antonovich, Spehar... Nick had an excellant year last year and...

I was in Blaine this weekend and was surprised at both the speed and the quality of games played. I At least this year, the NAHL appears quicker and absolutely is faster overall when compared to the Elite league. Benik has a special gift for scoring, I believe he has made a big mistake by not playin...

Leddy could surprise a lot of people this year as he is an excellent skater. Second half the season I believe he will be in the top 4 if not before. Leddy brings a combination of strength and speed that should really help the Gophers. If Helgeson can provide a dependable stay at home D or more the G...

Gopher Blog man, very good assesment of where I think it is going. My guess at the end of the year. Fairchild, Fischer, Ness, Leddy, Helgeson, Lofquist. The interesting piece could be Power Play time 1st and 2nd units. I believe it will be Fairchild and Ness on number 1 and Fischer and Leddy #2. It ...

Great kid, great player with grit. He could be a star for UMD. Congrats

Alex McLean from Duluth East has officially committed to the Air Force Academy. he is excpected to go in 11 with a possibility of entering in 10. He is tendered and excpected to play at Wanatchee next year. Congrats to McLean.

Heard there are more kids on the final roster that gained some D-1 attention over the weekend. Some good opportunities for Mn kids to be seen last weekend.

Way to go Aaron a deserving young man.

Good group of kids heard there may be another one or two as well.

Is this the type of crap Howie Hanson has to do to get people to look at his GARBAGE. It is too bad because Duluth needs a voice to promote their kids and programs and again this certainly shows that Howie has little to no integrity. I bet Denfeld and their "favorite sons" are really happy...

My opinion it should be clear: 1) Edina 2) Eden Prairie These two are clearly 1 and 2 and if Edina beat them twice I cant imagine any additional discussion need to be had. If Bloomington Jefferson would have beat Edina then it might have been a flip of the coin with a nod to EP. 3) Blaine 4) Duluth ...

I have no I mean zero doubt that Jefferson is an excellant elite team. HShockey watcher relax.

Some of you guys are not making this topic as much fun as it used to be or should be. Karl keep up the good work.
