I was at the game and it was surprising to see a lot of empty seats. Having been raised on Minnesaota hockey where every venue is full no matter who is playing and at what level,it was hard to believe I was watching a Gopher game. By far the greatest fans are in Minnesota. There was absolutely no en...

I don't know about all private schools, but the one my kids went to had fees for sports in the high $200's plus a couple hundred more to pay for new helmets, nets, bases, uniforms or whatever. This is because there is NO state funding for private schools. AND you paid for the public school kids wit...

There is one reason: Resources have become so dominant in hockey that frankly I don't see the best groups of athletes playing it. I remember a couple years ago when the broadcast was honoring an old timer. He thanked them,...

Are you kidding me??????? The attendence thing forr the A tourny is exactly what cjp8816 said it was. Who is there to root for these teams except their families? Get any other schools in there and the place would be full with students, families and community supporters.

The fact that both of these teams are playing in the state tournament is a joke. It's just that Lakeville South is even more of a joke and has zero chance of actually doing well in the tournament.
