With Wrenshall and Carlton slated to consolidate districts, it appears Cloquet is near ending the coop agreement. At first, I thought this may be just a mere formality as the agreement was between Cloquet and Carlton, but doing a little more reading, it appears Cloquet's Board doesn't have much int...

No longer opting up: Roseau, Denfeld, Duluth Marshall, and Rock Ridge are my guesses.

Will have massive implications for section 7A and AA if so.

7A: Moose Lake out, Cloquet out, Proctor out?

RIP whichever section gets Cloquet.

7AA: RIP GR and East as Andover returns.

That's ridiculous and devastating to what could have been a good 4-5 year run for Hibbing. I hope it's just a few bad apples and not something else internally but everything I've heard about coaching, the staff, the AD have all been positive. IMO, there was only one player on the Hibbing bantam tea...

IMO, there are two bantams that are locks to make Hibbing varsity next year, and a third who is likely to make varsity. I can't imagine any of these three would pass up a chance to play for a top Class A team next year, considering making varsity this year means their roles will increase the followi...

Great stuff as always, ClassA. I think Hibbing slots more into the 6-8 range next year. Here's my reasoning: -they return 4/6 top defensemen, and they bring in an elite defenseman from bantams who made Team MN that went to the USHL showcase. Adding him to this current group likely gives Hibbing the...

Hats off to Warroad for winning the title. Just an outstanding game. Couldn't be more proud of this group of Hibbing kids. Class A has been dominated by teams from Class AA-sized metro areas for 20+ years, so it was awesome to see Hibbing get as far as they did with a true small town community team....

One Note Hibbing Cole Swanson will be suspended for this game. He will be back for the next game. I missed that. What happened? Also, didn't Dodge County win it all during Covid when they had Brody Lamb? That was also the year Hermantown was short on players and Plante played most of the game. I he...

I think Gentry beat Dodge County in the championship in 2021. Not sure though. I went back and looked. You're right, Gentry beat Dodge County 8-1 in the championship game. No mention of Hermantown in that tournament. IIRC, that was the COVID year where essentially Hermantown's entire varsity couldn...

Ah, so the rumor is confirmed. Not a smart move by him, hope he gets the message from this going forward.

8) Warroad, Mahtomedi, and SCC have to be spitting tacks over Delano at #2. Strength of schedule is night and day. Per PageStat SOS that Lee updated two weeks ago, Class A SOS rankings are 1.

This is awesome! Thanks for the constant and tireless coverage, ClassAGuy!

There’s a circle of death going on with the 2-4 seeds though Delano beat Warroad Warroad beat Maht Maht beat Delano The top 4 all beat SCC. SCC beat NL. I wouldn’t be shocked if they just followed the LPH rankings and it went as follows: 1. Hibbing 2. Warroad 3. Mahtomedi 4. Delano 5. SCC 6. Northe...

Do we want to bring up the elephant in the room. Was that goaltender interference or not? 8) To me, Swanson never got a chance to avoid contact with the goalie because of being pushed by the Cloquet player. Swanson got mixed up with the goalie because of something Cloquet did, not because of what S...

Shea Walters needs to be Class A coach of the year. Absolutely incredible what he did with that team. Cloquet has some excellent youth classes about to arrive soon, and they've got the coach to maximize that talent. Outstanding.

I think Hibbing should get the #1 seed for 7A. Here is my case: -Vs common opponents, Hibbing is 12-1-2 and Hermantown is 10-3-2. -In 7A, Hibbing is 4-1, and Hermantown is 2-1. The Proctor loss is more of a negative than the narrow 2-1 win over Hibbing is a positive, IMO. And I don't think Hermanto...

I don’t follow East Grand Forks super closely. Their recent trend seems to be underwhelming regular season results. Obviously last year they turned it on at the right time. What are the reasons for their mediocrity between November and Mid-February? Injuries? Other factors? This year, it's a mix of...

Wow, congrats to the Rails!

Booooo! Hard disagree on Hermantown staying #1 over Hibbing after this week's results. Hibbing outscored its two unranked AA opponents 10-2, not giving up a goal over the last 5 periods of the two games. Hermantown blew a 3 goal lead with 8 minutes left in the game to tie unranked DM, then essentia...
