That is far from true. Cretin- Derham Hall is about as cheap as Catholic schools come. 8,800 dollars is still a lot of money.

There are maybe more big brains that go to those scholols at least in a %basis.

But dont underate the Minnesota public schools and the Catholic schools academically because they produce a lot of kids with big ACT scores that end up in highly selective colleges.

How you do is more important than where you go and where you go doesnt guarantee you anything.

Is this a hockey thread?

Post by CAP »

Are we talking hockey? Then it's H-M hands down.

Cretin has something to say in football today, though the Pioneers outclassed the Raiders in football and nearly every other sport before CDH, conspiring with the government-run schools, voted H-M and STA out of the City Conference!

Baseball is the only sport where CDH can boast a long tradition; however, Hill likes to mess up baseball for any Raider perfectionists from time to time, too.

Hill even has been known to pull some top Mauer family coaches and players away from Cretin as well!

Now, back to hockey...

and the rest of the schools mentioned in this thread...

NEVER HEARD OF THEM!

CAP stands for "I am full of it" in Latin.

HM couldnt carry the Raiders equipment bags in baseball, footbal and basketball , much to the chagrin of so many Pioneer faithful, who tuned even greener when CDH won the hockey titile.

Well CAP, nobody gets excited over one title but when you add it to the baseball, football and basketball hardware, HM turns green.

The other schools are all very good I'm sure, but;

If you are a serious student athlete, as in student AND athlete. How can you not say............Breck.
Tremendous college preperation with student athletes regularly moving on to IVY League and top Universities.
Outstanding recent history of athletes having major D1 careers in all sports, not to mention many ultimatley drafted and playing professionally.
And as for Hockey, who of the schools mentioned have a facility that even comes close to the Breck Anderson Ice Arena?
Blake,CDH,Hill are a close second IMHO.

But Goldy, this about the best.

Not BSquadville.

To be the best yah gotta play the best and beat the best.

Wally did a great job there and the new guys will do a good job too but.... playing against Orono, Fergus Falls and Hutch just doesnt quite get you to the top.

No Class A school can stake a claim to the best.

Isn't Blake and Breck about $ 20,000 per year? Thats outrageous! :shock:
Im pretty sure each school is K-12, and if anyone here is good at math... 12 years*20,000= $ 240,000

Private School to the North

Post by Topperhockey34 »

Well,

What about the private school to the North. The education is great, not as expensive as the southern schools. And lets mention the hockey team...in the past 10 years the team has turned for bad to a state contender each year.

Go Hilltoppers!!!

You guys may want to check your facts on where some of the most highly recruited Minnesota players have come from in recent years. Here is a hint:

Youso, Ballard, Oshie, Forney, Fulton, Sackrison, Niskanen, Wyman, Gordon, Pohl, and many many others. Calling A hockey the "B" Squad is a little much.

I don't believe Ballard was ever a LOW Bear...I believe he ski-daddled to Ann Arbour prior to ever playing HS hockey. Check closer next time. :wink: But I do catch your drift....still you won't convince some of these guys on this fine forum.

Thanks for the update but in fact Waibel and Ballard were teammates for 2 years on the Varsity at LOW before Ballard left for Ann Arbor. I don't need to check. They were also on the same team at Model Camp in 1998. I was there.

Here are the Model Camp notes:

Jon Waibel, 5-11/160; Birthdate: 5/19/82 ; and Keith Ballard, 5-10/170, Birthdate: 11/26/82 -- Teammates at tiny Lake of the Woods HS in Baudette. Linemates at the Model Camp. Great fun to watch. Very high energy level. Great skills.

Ballard, who's 5'10", 186 lbs. and an 11/26/82 birthdate, is a candidate for this year's U.S. National Junior Team. He played for the Lake of the Woods High School until after his 10th grade year, when he went to the U.S. National Team Development Program. He would have gone back there for his senior year, but, as an '82, he wouldn't have been eligible for the World Under-18 Tournament. Instead, Ballard, along with fellow Gopher recruit Jake Fleming, decided to go to the Omaha Lancers and try to win a league title.

That's why I said I BELIEVE.....I knew he left before he was a junior wasn't sure if he went right from Bantams to Michigan. Never graduated as a HS player can't be counted...LOW has lost lots of them to USA hockey couple of Gens and the two you mention. Waibal get anywhere after the U?
