I was wondering if anybody knew which Districts would represent each region for the 2009-2010 season.

What do the USA and MN officials know? Do they coach? Chances are no and they administrate from a chair. I believe the Minnesota Hockey coach in chief IS the Providence High School head coach. So, to answer your question, yes. AND, he (Hal Tearse) is one of the biggest proponents of the 2-1 practic...

Friday 10 AM in St. Cloud.
Mpls. Park vs Duluth East

Wayzata Blue is a strong team with great speed. As a top B1 team, they can play with the smaller A teams. In District 3 they would have been competitive, but against larger associations like Wayzata A, Edina, OMGHA. They would have struggled. This is a major reason why I believe there should be a tw...

Duluth East - Good positional hockey team. The will be in the running for the title. They haven't had the hardest schedule, but will be able to prove they belong by the end. Minneapolis Park - I think they are over their heads here, but probably the 6th best team in the tournament. Will need to pull...

Hello people, he's being sarcastic. Got the three of you. There was some fussing going on about other State Tournaments so I'm guessing he cobbled this to sound like the classic fusser of all time. MAC is a great facility and St. Cloud is a fun tourney town. Well the sad part is some people have be...

Can you believe that they are playing this tournament at the St. Cloud Municipal Athletic Complex when you have the Taj Mahal of hockey facilities there, the National Sports Center. Also, what's up with two Duluth teams making it to state when there are much more deserving teams from the metro that...

I wouldnt say Elk River dominated. It was a tough battle fought by two very good teams that went into overtime. I think the shots were close on both sides. Both teams are 2-2 against each other for the season. I would agree with this assessment. In fact towards the end it looked like Sauk Rapids wa...

none of these kids match up to any of the kids from eden prairies team a few years back. half of the team plays ep varsity now (including their goalie) one is at ssm, one is play aha varsity, and another plays for sta. i think they lost 3 games all year That is a big statement that all 17 players o...

Since Regionals start tomorrow, I wanted to set up a place to post scores and up date information. Here is the list of regions and teams. North Red Roseau I' Falls Duluth Lakers East Grand Forks Blue Grand Rapids Warroad Duluth East Hibbing South Red Mpls. Park Fairbault River Lakes Sartell Blue New...

Maybe the large associations are getting more ice time than the smaller associations. I know at Wayzata, most teams are on the ice 5 nights a week minimum. Wayzata uses the 3 Plymouth sheets, 1 wayzata sheet, Victory Memorial, Blake, occasionally Orono and others. Maybe the issue is the small associ...

there is not 20 teams that have a shot every year- NO WAY. I would say at most 10 teams. I'm still waiting for someone to point out a large assocaition that is not competitive. Numbers do mean success. I'm not saying if its right or wrong - but it is a fact. So are you saying there are only 10 larg...

Why don't we make everyone happy and have a compromise? We run a two tiered A system. Top programs play in AA. This would include your Wayzata, Edina, OMGHA, etc. Then you have an A level, which is your small associations plus large associations top (current) B1 teams. These teams will be listed as ...

Wayzata Blue - 5 Burnsville - 1 Why would Wayzata Blue schedule a scrimmage the night before playoffs begin? One of their top scorers got hit and left the ice in the third period. Not good scheduling in my opinion. They scheduled it as a warm up to districts. No one schedules games thinking players...

Thought I would throw out new rankings and updates, as I know them. 1 WAYZATA BLUE- #1 District 3 2 Sauk Rapids- Plays Elk River for #1 District 10 3 Duluth East- Plays Duluth Lakers for #1 District 11 4 Eagan Blue- Plays Woodbury White for #1 District 8 5 Osseo/Maple Grove- Plays Wayzata Gold for #...

Any idea how district 11 or District 8 tournaments are going? They have not posted anything online.

haha yeah maybe I am a social parent buddy. I have talked to the coaches and parents from Mahtomedi asking about him. If you are this great guy who knows all the best players around, THEN WHO IS YOUR BEST PLAYER!? I dont recall you saying anything just arguing the fact that this kid is probably bet...

mahtomedi is a great team. he was one of the last cut players from the A pool in Mahtomedi. and I know his stats because maybe I can look at em on this new invention called the INTERNET! try it sometime its very useful. Mahtomedi is Bantam B is far from a great team. They went 11-2-2 in district 2 ...

3 of the four on this list will all be facing off in the west regions... so it's tough to say. Add Wayzata Gold to the mix and the probability goes down even further. Duluth East's schedule basically doesn't have them tested until state tourney game #8 on March 21st. Duluth would actually be the #2...

I agree through the end but would also like to add the no A team and joining of IGH/SSP. Also huge complaint that D1 gets 2 teams to regionals yet only has 4 teams at the A bantam lvl, also gets the third place finisher with a play-in-game with D4 Third place for a trip to Regionals? The B Bantam l...

Centennial's D10 record is 15-4-3, why aren't they in the top 20? I personally don't think they are a top 20 team. They finished behind Elk River and Sauk Rapids. What big games have they won? If they posted scores on their website maybe the voters would recognize if they should be in the top 20.

HockeySLP good post. With the numbers that some of these Associations have that makes sense. Why not give more players the "A" experience. I'll tell you why. "A" hockey is for the top hockey players in the state. Not the top hockey players of an association. If you can't compete...

Sounds like they are perfect. Why have they lost so many games?

yes, sometimes a better team finishes behind in the standings. However, I don't think you can argue with a ranking of one team when they are ahead of you in the standings. That was my point. If you don't like where you are ranked, you have a month to change it. You are the only one that can change i...
