Re: AA Rankings for 2/1/26

Enjoy the rankings every week. I think Maple Grove deserved to drop after the last week, but 5 spots is a bit much. I don’t see how they can be behind Wayzata, who they’ve beaten twice and have a better record than playing the same tough schedule. Also, Wayzata has zero signature wins. Maple Grove ...

Re: AA Rankings for 1/25/26

Looks like EP has Maple Grove's number this year. Are the Crimson that bad? What's going on with them? EP pretty much dominated from midway through the 2nd on and if not for a garbage goal with 10 seconds left it would've ended 5-2 EP. MG parents were grumbling about a coaching change if you can bel...

Re: Tonka HS coach

If you’re familiar with EPCC, the visiting teams locker room is in the hallway between rinks 1 and 3. He was outside the locker room screaming in an F bombed rage. Couldn’t tell if it was directed at staff or a player but it seemed to be directed toward the JV group. I don’t expect the guy to be a s...

Tonka HS coach

Aside from all of the recruiting talk, what is this guys reputation like out there? I held a higher regard for him considering his background but after seeing him after the Tonka vs EP game last night the guy seems like a total prick. I couldn't really see what was going on but he was going absolute...

Re: Games 12/13

All of the buzz about Duluth East seemed to have jinxed them as they for pretty much the entire game were dominated by EP who were up 4-1 and ending in a 4-3 win for the Eagles who have now won 3 in a row. Shots were 31-27...... And no one had buzz on DE. Just vastly improved over the past 2 years....

Re: A Rankings for 12/7/25

What is the overall sentiment on Proctor? The Bantam team took a bit hit with the freshman moving up, but how have those freshman and sophs looked thus far on varsity. Not much left in the pipeline, so these 2-3 years might be their last chance at putting something together after a few solid Bantam...

Re: Games 12/9

Sorry, EP over Shakopee gets upset of the night. After rolling Hibbing, the Sabres come home and lose 0-2 to what was supposed to be a bottom feeding EP team. EP takes down two top 10 teams in the span of 4 days.

Re: Games 12/6

Eden Prairie 5-4 in OT over Maple Grove. EP, which hadn’t won coming into game but was scoring at a 50% clip on the powerplay, scored on their first four power plays of the game. The only PP MG killed was EP’s 5th one of the game. MG was better team even strength, outscoring EP 4-1 (EP’s lone even ...

Re: New jerseys this year?

So far, I know that Mahtomedi and Stillwater have switched over to Gemini (Stilly already had a home GA jersey), anyone else know what teams have new uniforms this year? EP still with GA, but their home whites with the new EP in a sort of crest thingamajigy is in my opinion a 3/10. I suppose the ne...

Re: Games 11/25

I wouldn't read too much into the Hill EP game. Eden Prairie scored 3 goals on the powerplay, which is impressive. Nothing wrong with getting a little penalty killing experience early in the season if you're Hill. I remember reading that EP has a few freshman on the varsity squad. Will be interesti...

HM playing their first game of the year looking really good against EP. STA beats up 5-0 on Holy Angels The HM-EP score isn't too shocking (the cupboards are pretty bare at EP - it's going to take a couple years to rebuild and be a decent team again), but the STA/Holy Angels one is.

Re: AA Preseason Rankings for 2025-2026

Was anyone up in Hermantown lately? I heard the cities teams went all the way up there for a scrimmage fest and Hermantown dropped the news that their ice was let's just say "insufficient" so teams ended up practicing power plays and kills on half ice. I'm not joking either. Imagine going ...

A couple surprises on Hermantown's roster- -A bantam-eligible player is on the varsity roster (Zhukov). I don't ever recall a bantam moving up there, will this be the new norm? -Three top sophomores have left the program. (Nash and Wise to AAA, Hedley to Rock Ridge.) -Only two goalies on the entire...

Re: Single A preseason top twenty

Any updates following the slew of scrimmages this weekend? Albeit, it was the first scrimmage of the day Northern Lakes won 2-1 against EP's "A" team in a physical grimey game. They bring back a lot of kids and they showed a lot of energy out there. They should be another team to watch in...

What's also interesting in all of this depending on how you look at it is that everyone seems to be double dipping. Meaning they are all signed up for the same stuff and in doing so essentially means they are going to miss half of the sessions because they are also attending something else. So, you...
