"<br>__________________________________________________<br><br>HockeyDad9, Your comments in regards to the Maroon Regions are unwarranted for this thread. Minnesota Hockey does a great job bracketing the teams as they do and I am pretty certain that kids from the Silver and Gold Region are just as excited and worthy to play in the State Peewee A tournament right along with the clubs from the Maroon Region. At least MN Hockey thinks so, that is why they bracket in a few teams from the Gold region and 1 from the Silver region as well. If you do not like the format perhaps you should direct your grievance to Minnesota hockey. <br> <p></p><i></i>

I am not sure what you are referring to Mullet. I am not ripping out state teams. I have no grievance to voice. I love the format.<br><br>I actually was supporting the format if you read my posts.<br><br>The only thing I said was the I was impressed of the level of play in the Maroon region on Saturday.<br><br>I am sorry that you feel that I was critical of MN Hockey, but that is SO far from the truth. I LOVE THE FORMAT OF THE TOURNAMENT!<br><br>If you look at the inital message to this thread, you will find that out!<br><br>Please let us get back to having this thread be a POSITIVE thread to support the teams that have qualified for the 2006 MINNESOTA PEE WEE A STATE TOURNAMENT.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

EGOPHERP - "Do I like Jazz?" <br><br>LOL, depends on my mood I guess. Why do you ask? <p></p><i></i>

you're right, lets stay positive.<br><br>There are some great match ups. Likely to see Edina and EP square off for the 4th time this year and while I believe EP is a little better, I wouldn't want to try and beat Edina 4 times in a row. Wayzata seems the clear favorite on the other side of the bracket. They have more top end kids than any other team. Don't be surprised by upsets..goaltending will be the difference in the end. As a life long rival it pains me to predict this but: I'm going with Edina to take home the crown. <p></p><i></i>

this will be 5 between ep and edina <p></p><i></i>

you're right, sorry, I forgot about the second one during distict play. <p></p><i></i>

I love it - now this is why I started the thread.<br><br>On the EP vs Edina - WOW! Would I ever like to be in Duluth if this SEMI-FINAL matchup happens. I stress IF! Upsets do and WILL probably happen up in Duluth. <br><br>Love to hear from some of the players that will be participating in Duluth...<br><br>How 'bout it hockeystud27 - how ya feeling? I think your team will do just fine up in Duluth - how has the week of preparation been? <p></p><i></i>

If anyone hasn't seen the brackets, wish in this forum would be hard to believe, here is the link -<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.minnesotahockey.org/assorted ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

Weve been preparing ever since the end of regionals its like a new season right now and our record is 3 and 0 and were looking to make it 6 and 0 by the end of next Sunday. <p></p><i></i>

Sounds great Hockeystud27 - I hope you go 3 - 0 up in Duluth too! <p></p><i></i>

y thank you hockeydad sounds like your behind us <p></p><i></i>

Yes I am egoalie - my son Ryno has played AAA with many of your teammates and I am friends with many of the parents. <br><br>Would love to see you WIN OUT! <p></p><i></i>

Yeah that would be great we just have to keep playing great like we have been. <p></p><i></i>

In my opinion if you and your teammates move the puck - you win. I think the issue with your team is that you all are so talented that each one of you thinks that you can do it on your own - and facing most teams, you probably could, but when facing the BEST of MN the old Hornets need to move the puck around.<br><br>What do you think hockeystud27? <p></p><i></i>

hockeydad just wondering what games of ours have u been to <p></p><i></i>

Defianetly when we move the puck there is nobody better than us. <p></p><i></i>

Ryno and I came over to Brooklyn Park and watched the games last weekend. <p></p><i></i>

Yep are you going to be able to make it up to Duluth for any of the games? <p></p><i></i>

No, we will be unable to make it up to Duluth.<br><br>Ryno was named to his All-Region Team in Wisconsin and is going to be participating in the WAHA Cup the same weekend of the MN Pee Wee A State. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... keyDad9</A> at: 3/10/06 7:18 pm<br></i>

Ok well give us updates on how his team does I would like to hear how him and his team does. <p></p><i></i>

I would like to know what does out-state teams mean? Can anybody please answer this one <p></p><i></i>

quantummekanic, which two lines on edina were you talking about that backcheck like crazy? <p></p><i></i>

"outstate"teams , in MN anyway, means teams that are not from the Twin Cities metro area <p></p><i></i>

Oh thanks for the answer. Oh yea thats right Minnesota is split into two states anything from #2 and South is considered the better of the state and north is considered not their when it comes down to anything in the state. Hope there is a big upset down in Duluth for state. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... 1hockey</A> at: 3/12/06 2:10 pm<br></i>
