Re: 2026-27 Coaching Changes

Can someone explain the downward spiral at Chaska? Man, they were rolling for a while and once Snuggerud left they fell off hard. I thought Cooke did a decent job keeping them afloat but now they are just bleh. Sounds like an ideal spot for kids looking to play and a coach to bring them back to the ...

CEC is open due to what sounds to be nut job parents (again).

Re: Early transfer Rumors?

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.

Re: Early transfer Rumors?

I hope you're just trolling. Because if so, this is sad to hear. Not surprised but this is the norm in the cities and the sad turn where parents and kids choose to bail versus face any sort of adversity.

Because why would you leave Hibbing for Greenway?! I want to see them rise back from the ashes but they are far far off. Curious what the reasoning would be.

Re: Early transfer Rumors?

Sounds to me like the HTown goalie that left may be boomeranging back. Any truth to that? Quite possible. He probably wasn't going to play much behind Francisco, so go to Honeybaked for a year and play 50 games instead of 20(?) at JV, and that is if you don't have to split games. I could see this p...

Re: Bantams still a good predictor of HS success

SLPCR probably gets poached by public schools like Woodbury typically does. Not really any great hockey privates out by STMA and they have been decent recently so I do think they could get a good year or two of high school hockey at STMA. Doesn't STMA lose quite a few kids to Northstar Christian an...

Re: Tonka Moorhead

Any thoughts on Tonka bailing on the post game? As that ever happened before? Unfortunate, but the world isn't going to end because of it. At a minimum Goldy should have made himself available IMO. That is the odd part. Kids are kids. Even all the chatter about how players from both Hibbing and Ton...

The problem is that how he has programmed his team to play all year. All the after the whistle nonsense. Of course, he wears the same expression all the time, so you never know what he thinks.

Re: A Championship- #1 Hibbing vs #3 Warroad

The speculation begins. Hibbing is loaded. Are they gonna run it back? Next year, (as I throw up in my mouth) I think Hermantown takes 7A Lee Really? Not much moving up and I think they lose the Proctor kid (my guess) at least. I get the emotions but not a fan of pulling the runner up medal off you...

It’s a good story and tagline and that’s about it. I’m not from Edina nor do I have anything kelly green in my closet. Every game played against them is treated as a must win in this house. Sure, there’s some entitlement going on but mostly that’s a few parents. The kids my kids have interacted with...

Dunno if it’s the opponent (not that Gentry was much of a match), but Edina looks REALLY good. Definitely living up to their name buzzing all over the place.
