Seeding vs seedy, I think it should be seating! As at times it looks like that the powers that be think with their seat! Every year we try to take a subjective process and make it look objective. Both the folks at Minnhock and Mitch Hawker spend a lot of time calculating an algorythm that assigns a ...

2 to 2 going to overtime

a perfect demonstration of ignorance and the good ole girl syndrome, in our every so pure sport! It looks like someone interrupted the basketball game to take a vote! It unfortunate when this crap is allowed to tarnish our image.

The officiating was what it was, I won't say bad but definitely inconsistent....suffice to say! Or, maybe that is what poor officiating is. Moorhead outplayed the Warriors - yet the Warriors had every opportunity to win. A missed penalty shot.....a bad bounce....terribly out shot in the first period...

I already weighed in on this topic but I found an interesting article in todays Grand Forks Herald by long time sports writer Virg Foss, he had an interesting question, would the game improve if a player commits an illegal check that injures a player rendering them unable to play - the player commit...

Unfortunately to many taking checking out of hockey would be like taking your driver out of your golf bag. The great players don't need it but to keep the game interesting you have to have it. I am sure they exist but I don't recall many of our "great" hockey players being heralded for the...

Does the league have rules about participants playing other fall sports? Just heard rumor that it was hockey or nothing and can't believe that our founding father could be thay myopic! Shame on me for being so quick to believe such piffle, but does anyone really know?

Congratulation to all the finalists! After watching Mr. Leddy in the state tournament (which didn't matter in the voting) I was convinced that he was worthy of winning. I will not take anything away from Mr. Hanowsky - you can't argue with numbers. If this is such a concern maybe we should have a Mr...

In this day and age I do not believe that coaches/scouts rely on statistics for assessing the abilities of a goaltender. As noted, this is one of the most difficult positions to assess. Instead, I believe that coaches/scouts ask goalie coaches or former goaltenders that they trust that have seen var...

Just came across an interesting article about a former Minnesota Hockey camp attendee. If you read down a bit you will note he remarks how the camp affected his playing ability. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/playoffs2008/columns/story?columnist=burnside_scott&id=3406330&campaign=rss&sour...

I think a little research will show how the development of many quality hockey players was assisted by spending time at Minnesota Hockey Camps. However, just like any camp - it will take a lot of hard work and multiple sessions to see marked improvement. It has proven to be a worthy Camp well worth ...

Congratulations - we outstaters wish things would have been different in the state tournament! However, just another lesson in life. I noticed well wishes for the next level - I thought Mr. Ness was a junior. Am I mistaken?

I can hear it already...daddy's money, daddy's money! Edina _ucks...etc. Or, it's the Cake Eater Cup, all part of our hockey in this State of Hockey! But we must not forget .. it is our hockey! Not Wisconsin's, Michigan's or heaven forbid anyone on the east coast. Remember, today a Ram tomorrow a Go...

Is the section 8AA Championship in TRF or St Cloud? On the MHSHL page it says St. Cloud.

Brainerd 2 Moorhead 1
Sophomore Smith scores his second at 1:15 of the second

Brainerd 8 Monticello 1 FINAL

Brainerd 5 Monticello 1 after 2

Brainerd 0 Monticello 0 after 1 with shots 13 to 4 in favor of Brainerd.

How many of this list have committed to college - and is that a measure of their ability?

Brainerd got outplayed to the man. Congrats to Little Falls. With their motivation tonite they demonstrated that they have what it takes to play with any good team! No excuses from here on out! The Warriors hit a skunk - best to step on the gas and get down the road as quickly as possible. Learn fro...

Maybe Brainerd should spread the wealth around - split up the first line and provide offensive punch to all three lines, and from a defensive perspective just skate Olson with two other skaters. For the sake of equity rotate that other defensive player - but don't let Olson off the ice! Or, we could...

Anyone check the football or basketball site. Just wondering if their elite complain or are as picky as we are about their TV talent? One of the hardest lessons there is to learn in life is that we don't know how good we have it - until its gone! Who ever is responsible for taking the time and effor...

May he rest in peace, but didn't Herb Brooks provide insight to one of the Parise boys about making a decision between these two schools. No one can argue with what it means to a Minnesota boy having an opportunity to wear the M jersey. But in Grand Forks, if you are on the hockey team - you are tre...
