It wouldn't work for HDM, but here's a line up I could see at CHS:

10 AM Girls HS game

1 PM Boys HS game

4 PM Mankato V SCSU

7 PM Benidli V UMD

One HS team each from St. Cloud, Duluth, Bemidji, & Mankato.

That would really promote programs that could use the boost. Too bad it's more about FSN than hockey in MN.

This might be my favorite. I only see a couple problems.... In December you might have a problem with thin ice on the river... Personally, I think it could be a minor problem. The other problem is the wind, nothing like a nice 30mph wind to skate into. Its like skating up a 30 floor building... Nice try though... But if you want to see EGF out side, the EGFvBreck game would be a lot of fun on outdoor ice.

CHS wouldn't be a bad venue.

Michael Russo posted on his Star Tribune blog that Hockey Day will be announced next week. It was planned for TCF Bank Stadium as I originally posted, but there was a scheduling conflict or something of that nature that caused FSN/Wild to change course.

Well had they played when the Wild are playing at TFC the boys would be in the middle of section playoffs. I am betting on HD being up north. Like Hibbing,Eveleth or Duluth

Duluth is likely, I previously had guessed another city.

Looks like it will be in Duluth http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/sports ... front-park

Whoo! About time all that money I've been slipping them under the table paid off.

Very deserving city. Duluth area or should I say the Twin Ports has the best high school hockey for its size or for that matter any size.

First the annual host of section 7AA ... now this.

TheHockeyDJ · Post by **TheHockeyDJ** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 9:03 am

This will be the best location. The pit in ER was cool, but being by Lake Superior and close to Canal Park is going to be awesome.

Lets just hope the Hounds don't lay an egg like they did on HDM 2012 with their "All Star Team" vs Tonka....

I vote for a quadruple header of 7AA quarterfinals at Amsoil Arena the Saturday before the semi-finals.

Tell ya what--take LN's five best players out of the lineup (as in the East-Tonka game in 2012) and let's see how it goes.

Wasn't Jake Randolph one of their 5 best players?

If I recall correctly, he played in that game....

And what was the excuse for laying an egg at state that year?

Considering that none of East's players this coming season were in high school in 2012, I doubt they give a rip about what happened the last time East played on Hockey Day. Randolph, maybe, but the current version of Mike Randolph seems to care much less about such things than he would have 5 or 10 years ago.

This will be East's 3rd hockey day appearance, though their first one outside. They beat White Bear in a game at the X in 2009.

Denfeld's opponent was supposed to be Warroad, but that apparently has fallen through, as has a possible game against Thief River Falls. If they can't get one of those two, my vote is for St. Cloud Apollo--they'll be good, and that program could use the attention.

Would be cool to see them play Greenway. Have a Section game with seeding implications outside!

A Denfeld vs. St. Cloud Apollo match-up sounds great!

It would be nice to see a Class A team from central MN be represented.

Apollo vs. Denfeld gets my vote
