I'm saying people are talking without any knowledge because all of a sudden there was coaching change--They do not know it was because it because of of parents or alumni. As for a STA tradition the Vannelli's were there for years. Best of luck to Mike he did an admirable job but I suspect this was a...

Best of luck to Mike but never understood the hire in the first place given his age and where he was living. Coaches should be around their schools for summer camps etc. I think it is too easy for outsiders to blame this on parents because they don't know what they are talking about. I had two sons ...

HOCKEYWATCHER ,i asked you to give me names of all the Wisconsin players who have played for STA , I said there has been one, Tommy Novak and that's it. Its really misleading to say STA recruits Wisconsin Dude that wasn’t me who said they have Wisconsin kids it was Stanleycup sorry buddy, still a l...

you would have to favor Edina but STA matches up against Edina better than they did against East

dear hockey watcher, would you care to name all the Wisconsin kids who have or are playing for STA. To my knowledge there has been one in the 100 years the school has been around.

I can say with 100% certainty they are not going anywhere else, at least as far as Tom and Greg

Don't know how Conrad can make the leap in logic that the Vannelli's don't coach a team concept because they lost the first game in the state tourney the last couple of years. Granted it was disappointing and the consolation trophy was not their objective , but not coaching a team concept????

a class A team that beat Hill Muarry in running time LOL

should be a good game Cretin has a real chance for the first time in ten years, too bad this is played at Highland every other year and most can't get in to see it. STA by 2

the Gold matchups could be better but its laughable that STA can lose 2 first round games in the Tourney and win the next 2 games each time and somehow they are outcoached, I wonder if any other coach have lost 2 first round games?

I would love it if STA played sections at Aldrich instead of Ridder, but I repeat my question asked on a different thread , Is HM the only school in the state that gets to play their sections in their home rink? maybe there are others and this is not an unusual advantage ,but I don't know of others

Its hard to see STA not coming thru in this game, they are playing well right now, my only worry is that they play a number of sophomores, and sometimes sophomores do not have the sense of urgency that seniors do.

I know most on the board will believe this but for the few that are skeptical, this is true. I was coaching mites at one of our larger metro suburbs a number of years ago. A father approached me after practice and said " I know this may sound unbelievable but my son has the same exact stats as ...

good job Karl, one question I have for the group> Does anyone else get to always play their sections at their home rink besides Hill Murray?

I know it is hard to rate coaches because each team is so different. Randolph would have to be up there. But I still maintain that Tom Vannelli gets overlooked in this type of conversation. His teams play very fundamentally sound hockey and an exciting style to watch.Power Play and Penalty kill are ...

the whole point is on this subject either we go by enrollment or dominance at the A level, people were howling and rightfully so at STA now we have apologists like Duluth Dave for hermnatown ,whats it going to be Dave. STA has around 425 boys in their top 4 grades so the equivilent of 850 enrollment...

completely agree with the previous post, Plante invented whinning, if domination and not enrollment is the measure than they should have moved up long ago, can't believe how he bitched about STA but rationalizes everything is ok for Hermantown

kelly gave up 3 goals on about 15 shots, hard to say who will start on thursday, 2 young goalies

highly doubt it , STA may pull an upset in 1st state tourney game that will give a preview of what the team will do the next couple of years

If Greenway or Hibbing prevail I'm sure Plante will claim they are recruiting

I could be wrong but I believe every committee member has ties to STA

The Exiled One had it exactly right LN would do very well in AAA Midget MOST of the time Schattuck would beat them because of age and depth but not always, STA did beat the Prep team a couple of years ago. We should be very proud of our hockey system in minnesota we produce very good local teams ans...

First I want to say congrats to Duluth East it was a griity effort and they executed the game they had to play in order to win.As far as all the STA bashers "welcome to AA" etcetera give me a break they lost the game they certainly didn't look out of place. Hopefully they are welcoming Bem...

after watching Randolph comb the state for talent all these years its nice to take one from him[/quote]
