I was just sent Hill Murray's schedule for 2011-2012. In their tradition of a tough pre-conference schedule they have:

Nov 11 - Lakeville North
Nov 15 - Breck
Nov 22 - Minntonka
Nov 26 - Stillwater
Nov 29 - Eden Prairie
Dec 2 - Warroad
Dec 3 - Roseau

It also appears that they will be playing in the Kaposia Classic this year (So. St. Paul) rather than the Edina Tournament.

Neat to see - interesting switch at Holiday Tournament which could give them a chance to face Roseville twice in the same season.

Can Sec 4AA still be considered toughest in the State? How does HM stack up talent wise this year versus Roseville, WB and Stillwater?

It would appear they have a lot of returning talent and the one unknown would be in goal with the graduation of two very good goalies last year. Any idea on new players enrolling at HM that may have impact?

Ok, don't laugh, I am kinda chuckling myself, but...

My sister's hair dresser says there is a girl leaving WBL for HM, because her/her family feels there is a better opportunity for a scholarship at HM.

I know it sounds like a funny rumor from the hairdresser and all,but I thought I would see if there is any truth. Can any WBL'ers or HM'ers deny or confirm?

Well...I think before long, it's completely plausible that CDH will become a stronger team consistently and battle the top dogs in the SEC. We will see.

Might be true but it will be at the expense of other programs on the East Side. HM seems to be achieving on building a strong program that can develop talent to play at the next level Coaches have to be commended on what they have achieved over the last 4 years - have really developed a good program and are connected to college programs. This may signal another talented coach or 2 joining the HM staff.

Traditionally CDH has attracted players from the Sibley area, Highland, Woodbury and W. Wisconsin.

HM has gotten stronger with more White Bear, Stillwater, Woodbury and W. Wisconsin players.

The rise of CDH & HM has drawn many top players away from Woodbury and now Eastridge. The new coaching staff at CDH likely will hurt the 2 Woodbury High Schools and Cottage Grove the most. The SEC is clearly a better top to bottom conference than Classic Suburban. Time will tell.

If the new coaches at CDH have success it will most likely come at the expense of Hill-Murray as they will be battling for the same players who choose to attend a private school.

Well, now we know that MN HS Girls' Hockey has finally hit the big time when the goings on of the players are being discussed at the hairdressers around town. When I next visit my hairdresser Shirley, I'll hopefully get the scoop on the Johanssens' divorce, Mrs. Kimlinger's daughter's drug problem, and the latest on the St. Paul Blades search for a head coach.

Well, at least they are talking about them. Or, is it only okay for anonymous guys to talk girls hockey on a message board. Please clarify, who is acceptable to talk girls hockey.

Whoa. I think you misunderstood. I think it's fantastic no matter who it is who's talking girls' hockey. You aren't a fan of adding a little levity I guess? I'm going to continue levitating though.

Sorry Cap, I didn't catch your humor. I thought you were rippin' me. I am all for a little levity, especially in youth sports. My bad.

Wow way to go Hannah Brandt!! Enjoy this great accomplishment you have worked very hard!

Hannah is full to watch. She is so underchallenged playing HS hockey and if she was a young man would be playing Juniors or in Michigan on the National Development Team.

I don't think they will be stealing anyone away from Eastridge now that Norwich is there.
