I guess you could say they have expanded coverage to nationwide with the ability to stream the games online now. They need to get that working better than this year, but I know of people on vacation in Arizona that were streaming the H-M vs Minnetonka game.

Let some of the top JV teams compete in the Class A tourney.

I'd pay to see that.

Ya, but those people were from Minnesota. People were saying its one of the best tourneys in the nation, but they could make it the top. How would they make it the best? If any changes happen I would bet that no one in Texas would be like "hey they made changes to the Minnesota State High School Hockey tourney I have to watch it!" Everyone that would watch it, already does watch it. I could only see changes hurting it and not improving it. And with the people saying private schoolers should have to move up. Obviously if they say that they agree that the teams have talent. So why take talent away from the single A tourney, so worse teams take their spots, and then have the teams that "should opt up" take up a few spots away from teams that would have made it. The AA tourney is already competitive, if teams don't want to go up then hey, better single A tourney.
