You're right, unfortunately they haven't won many of those games and as it is with most teams that drop out of contention neither they or the teams that they are playing against have any interest in reporting their scores. It's been a frustrating season to watch. The Red team has a lot of individual...

Spare me the righteous indignation. Wayzata and Edina have 8 full Bantam teams while Minneapolis and Eagan have 6. With 3-4 full teams or 45-60 skaters remaining after both B1 teams are selected. With that amount of depth you'd be balanced by default more than by intent. Elk River had 3 full and 1 p...

You're not confused Barry your trolling, the two teams were created similarly to Wayzata's Navy and Blue team last year or their Blue and Gold team this year. They're many associations that choose to field two teams per level Duluth East Black and Red, Edina Green and White, Eagan Blue and Green all...

I'm fascinated. What doesn't fascinate me is those who throw short passive aggressive shots at people without...

You're absolutely right Waapiti is both Shawnee and Cree for "white or tan rump," it's also two words that in a language that uses descriptive imagery for its names, means elk. The word elk is actually a European word for what we know as a moose. Context can be a tricky thing for example s...

While past posts indicate a personal bias towards a specific association and it's so called "wicked parents," I'd appreciate a modicum of objectivity when discussing a group as a whole. Polarizing comments are usually entertaining but lazy, achieving their intended result attracting like m...

Congratulations to STMA on its win against Wayzata Blue. While navy is a shade of blue it is not the same, either are the Wayzata Navy and Blue teams. I'd reserve moving STMA ahead of Wayzata Navy until they prove the better or beat a higher ranked team such as Hudson or Edina.
