the paper said "During its meeting Thursday, the District 88 Board of Education approved a boys hockey cooperative agreement for 2011-12.The action in effect added Sleepy Eye Public, Sleepy Eye St. Mary's and Springfield Public Schools to a group of already cooperating schools - New Ulm Public,...

the paper made it sound that when they merged the youth programs that the high schools usually co-oped. even with the additional numbers i dont think people would like the idea of AA

will the coop of new ulm and sleepy eye happen this year?

how did things go in the mankato summer league?

i'm sure carlson will do fine. albert lea will miss him. he has put up some very good numbers but he's in a very week section that doesnt get a lot of visibility. juniors will give him a chance to develop all season long that playing teams like austin and mankato east wont. no one has said it but th...

Haataja and his family moving to Warroad will probably be good for Warroad. But LDC will miss them for the next few years. Litch will move down a notch in section 3. Makes things a bit easier for hutch and new ulm though.

New Ulms Kaleb Juntunen, Brody Peterson, Zach Hoffmann, Shane Traulich and Adam Loose are back to marshall for another section game. this one for baseball. They've had a great run in high school sports this year

The economy is probably playing a part as well. i've noticed camps and clinics that have lost some clients.
the high performance/select/advanced programs have done a great job. No doubt there's politics but its cleaner than most of the local associations or districts.

D4 is too small to field a competitive team at the Spring Festival on its own.

did you notice which associations were represented in D4?

surprised to see that new ulm doesnt have anyone on the great 8 team. looked in on the xposure tournement last weekend burgau, peterson, and banal from new ulm, eisenmenger and baumhoefner from windom all played on the same team. the last team they played would have had noble from marshall in the ne...

BuffaloRidge- if hockey hub is right Luverne loses Fitzer 64pts, swier 38pts, Dingman 32 pts and Christenson with 30. dont want to be hard on fitzer i'm sure he had a target on him the minute he stepped on the ice. meyer has some things to work on. it doesnt look like he did that well against some o...

BuffaloRidgeHockey--Marshall's should play a tougher and more balanced schedule but they also played litch, hutch, Kato W, providence. in the same vein, they only played 23 regular season games when many teams play 25. While Luverne has some good younger players they lose a lot this year. There were...

waiting on the magic

with loose gone hutch may take the game. adams can match #3 in penalty minutes but is not the offensive threat. n/u's hoffman scores as many goals playing d as adams.

he's a character with his shenanigans. i don't think he's all that cheap when it comes to hits.
he's arguably the best forward in the section 3 and maybe 1 as well.

If seedings are picked on what the teams are capable of today hutch gets #1, litch 2 and 3 would go to new ulm. if its by record i'm wrong but the outcome will probably be the same. hutch. 1. Hutchinson- in many peoples eyes has moved from a weak 4 seed to at least #2. recently has the ability to sc...

Ryne Hansen moved down to marshall from wayzata his soph year. not sure if he got a tryout for juniors or not.

Thirdmanin, when i challenge your statement about marshall having great coaching i wasn't bashing anyone. i dont agree, but thats as far as it goes.if we're going to make claims that someone is great, good or horrible we shouldn't be surprised when that claim gets questioned. marshalls record for th...

Cujo- officiating is what it is. sometime it goes both ways sometimes not. It would be nice if during the more important games that the refs could step it up. At least they didn't throw a chicken on the ice. As Edger said about Marshall "Their seniors have played forever" With a "grea...

New Ulm- still number one but Litch won this one and won in periods one and three the last time these teams met. New Ulm won the first game scoring 4 goals in the second period while most of LDCs 1st line was sitting. Litch- had a nice win and has to feel like their in a pretty good spot. Contends f...

The only fans that complain more than the Edina fans are the St. Thomas devotees.
Think of it as 6 more minutes of exposure to all of the scouts that had to be watching.

New Ulm is still number one. They won last nite but they didn't beat Litch in periods 1 & 3 Litch played a tough schedule this week beat Mound in ot. In N/U second period they essentially played without their first line due to a penalty and an injury. All in all not bad Marshall probably thought...

New Ulm is clearly number one. after that its pretty murky. Litch hasn't played a very tough schedule. they will take some lumps this week against both Mound and New Ulm. Hutch played well against a Marshall team that played poorly but thats it. Marshall?? They've kids that have played varsity for t...

depending on how big your program is there may not be enough room.
and while it may help the jv to practice with the varsity the varsity needs to practice at a higher level.
