Are you sure you aren't conflating two separate things? It would be possible for Hill to play in a holiday tournament showcase and still have the Edina home & home another week. I'm not all that jazzed about these holiday tournaments in any case. There was a time when the idea was to allow team...

As far as attendance and popularity goes, I think streaming plays a role in smaller attendance numbers. Sure, it's nothing like seeing a game live and video doesn't capture the speed of the game, but it does makes it convenient to be two places at once. Even at this year's Holiday Classic at Braema...

I'm not speculating what the sections can or can't afford, although I would question their financial decisions if they are paying "tens of thousands". The size of a venue does not change the cost of renting ice, Ridder should cost no less than Mariucci, and should be fairly similar to any...

Methinks that the Edina/Edina East/Edina jersey would be the least tinkered with in the state. Edina's original colors were green, white, and black. When the schools split to East and West in 1972, Edina-East kept those colors and the Hornet nickname. The Edina-West Cougars were forest green and go...

Anymore last minute developments ? Brodziak's Mr. Hockey Watch List mentions Valtteri Luhtalampi at Duluth Denfeld. I wasn't familiar with him (some "duluthguy" I am, right?), so I googled him. His Elite Prospects page lists him as having played in Finland prior to last year, and that he'...

I know this may be more pertinent to the Girls Hockey board, but Marvin did play boys hockey in our state, and with all the talk about coaches being run out of town by parents, I thought it would be of interest. Here's an article from The Rink Live by Jess Myers. The Strib has a similar story today....

KARE did a story on it last night:

A large NIL was involved. Details? I don't know these details on this player. However.... Michigan State has a huge NIL collective for its athletes and recruits. Two alums--Mat Ishbia and Steve St. Andre--are funneling millions into a collective (legally, I might add) to pay Spartan athletes. Ishbi...

A little bit off topic, but can our section 7A friends pls comment on Victor Plante likely status for next fall ? I would venture to guess it depends on whether his dad is still with the Blackhawks next season I'd think it would also have to do with whether Zam is at UMD. The family still has the h...

I would add on the Stella Maris part of all of this: That hockey program is a long way off. The school currently has only a freshman class. Someone with better knowledge can give the exact numbers, but that freshman class has something like 15 kids. And certainly not all are boys, and very few are ...

Roseau vs Moorhead has been postponed. And considering Duluth is under a winter storm warning, will this affect tonight's scheduled Rock Ridge vs Hermantown tilt? Lee Must be bad down toward Moorhead - not so bad here. We have about 4+ inches of greasy snow and some impressive wind gusts. One toppe...

Loved it when 7 and 8 met in the Quarters. Guaranteed a Northern team in the Semis.

Correct. This is the way I always look at it, even when it happens under the current process. The glass is half full.

In an article in this morning's Duluth News Tribune about Zam Plante potentially being drafted this week, Zam says he hasn't decided whether he's returning to Hermantown. The article is here: https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulldogs-hockey/umd-mens-hockey-2022-nhl-draft-will-be-a-family-ex...

How does that go over in Htown? Opsahl was the starter as a Soph they go out and get the Duluth East kid now yur the backup after being in the Hawks program all the way through?

Nice of coach to get the hometown goalie in for a couple minutes. :D How does that go over in Htown?

It's been a decade since we've seen a single game performance like this in the AA state tourney. Spehar just tweeted that Bump DM'd him and said he wanted to match his the 3 hatties in one tourney... That's not really Spehar. It's a parody account--as noted in the profile. https://twitter.com/MNHoc...

If the news article I saw has the name right (I'm not going to use it as the kid's a minor and I could be wrong), and if the Hockey Hub box score for DE's game today is accurate, the kid who did it is back in action already, which I really find hard to believe. If I was that kid's coach, or parent,...

How many different schools have held the #1 spot in Karl's rankings this year?

Would guess he'll play before/after with either the Steel (USHL) or Wilderness (NAHL)?

That makes sense. Thanks.

Question: Does anyone know why Zam Plante isn't on the North roster?

Duluth Denfeld’s Andy Larson has Hermantown listed as his team on the Elite League Roster. Very good player and yet another great acquisition for the small town Hawk’s Program. Can’t see any Class A team having any hope of competing with them for at least the next three years. The player is now lis...
