Not sure what happened there. I heard about the "gentleman's agreement" from hockey announcers talking about HDM, not from Coach Goldsworthy. They may have been talking about past HDMs or may have just been wrong. I doubt Goldsworthy would not hold up his end of if they had agreed.Lostmyedge wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 12:11 pmSo much for “gentlemen’s agreement”.

I agree it’s “a throwaway game in Rochester “, play em all. There has never been a so called gentleman’s agreement in this game. It’s on the individual coaches and splitting time has happened much less than u would think.Lostmyedge wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 12:11 pmJerseyDave wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 6:46 pmIt's not required, but more of a gentleman's agreement between the coaches in HDM games that everyone gets to play.Lostmyedge wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 5:34 pm Does anyone know if Andover and Minnetonka have to play both goalies during the game?

This is varsity high school hockey and it's number 1 vs. 2. There should be no "gentlemen's agreement". You play your best players to win. It's that simple. Look, I get its a great experience and everything but so is the State Tournament. If Andover makes it to the X in March is the coach going to take out his healthy starting goalie for the third period to allow his backup goalie to get to experience playing in front of 18,000? I don't think so.Lostmyedge wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 12:11 pmSo much for “gentlemen’s agreement”.

Maybe no bearing on sections, but possibly a bearing on state tourney seeding, which is a big deal.Hockeyfan911 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 8:02 pm i can see different viewpoints with the decision but comparing a HDM game on outdoor ice in -25 temps to State at the X is a bit of a reach. Both these teams will be just fine as the game has no bearing in their section.
The first six words of this post completely contradict the rest of it. This is varsity HIGH SCHOOL hockey. These are kids. Yes, it is to be taken more seriously than a C-Squirt game, but not so much that you treat it as the NHL. Regular season games carry some meaning for sure, but there weren't two points on the line, there weren't any standings on the line and yes, seeding could be affected slightly by it but who cares? It's all a crapshoot anyway once playoffs begin. I am more concerned with a kid getting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play in a very special game on a very special day than whether I play a randomly selected team at 11 AM or 6 PM.between_the_pipes wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 7:29 pmThis is varsity high school hockey and it's number 1 vs. 2.

Pretty much all of this. The game didn’t matter other than for the kids. No problem with throwing in the backup goalie.between_the_pipes wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 7:29 pmThis is varsity high school hockey and it's number 1 vs. 2. There should be no "gentlemen's agreement".

Accordingly, it’s not surprising he wasn’t sharp & the Skippers pounced...(as they often do in the 3rd period)
