I'd love to see LaDoux pull a rabbit out of his hat and steal the game, but it's hard to see it happening.

6-2 Hermantown.

If anyone is wondering where Hermantown is, it's a suburb in a metro area of 150,000 people. It's located in the swamp behind the mall in Duluth. And even though the roster contains players from Duluth, Proctor, Hibbing, Colorado, and Hermantown, the locals like to pretend the program is "small school hockey made up of hometown kids". And the players are good enough to play AA all through youth hockey, but somehow they magically become single A once they get go high school. It is a strange, fascinating place.

Yes it must seem fascinating for you to see a community and hockey program like Hermantown. You should come down and spend some time observing the program and get some ideas on improving yours. I'll give you a hint: community involvement, dedication, commitment, hard work, to name a few. The Hermantown youth program developeds kids into hockey players whether their born here or come at a later date. Give each MN HS hockey organization 30 of the same cloned kids at age 3 and develop them to HS age and play a tournament. My money would be on the boys developed through Hermantown. I am really sick of you trashing Hermantown like it is some Twin Cities metro private school recruiting players from all over the country, just so your Hibbing team can have a better chance of losing at state; and mark my words, you would lose. In the past seven years the best your Hibbing team would have done at state in class A is lose a semi-final game. I have no idea what the future holds for the Hermantown hockey program. If it was in AA, with a school size of 615, it would be the smallest school in AA except for Roseau and there is no EAST in Section 8. This A/AA designation in youth hockey is only in its 3rd year. Hermantown has played East in youth hockey since the beginning of time and you could count on 1 hand, maybe 2, the numder times that Hermantown a HT peewee or banCEC boys hockey boys and girls on the road tonight and tomorrow in Eden Prairie and Andover. "Good things" #hugefantam team has beaten East. Many of the games have been blowouts. It has been only very recent that the games have become more competitive and a part of that has been a fall in East and an improvement in HT. If there is a move to AA it will be on Hermantown terms, not yours. So you really know nothing of Hermantown, the community, it's work ethic or its history. Your just up on da range in your pathetic little hole spewing your bs to shame HT into AA so your team doesn't have to work as hard to get to state. Did Hibbing get that spring/summer/fall hockey program up and running yet?

If Hermantown is such a player development machine, as you suggest, then why do they step down to A when they reach high school? If they are so good at developing players, then why doesn't the high school team play at the same level as the youth teams? Shouldn't they be getting better every year they are in such a superior program?

Do you honestly believe that being in a metro area of 150,000 people has nothing to do with Hermantowns success?

As far as not being able to beat East, Cloquet and Rapids beat East this year, and Hermantown has beaten those two teams by a combined score of 13-3 this year. C'mon pek, you can't really believe Hermantown can't compete in 7AA.

Okay, I'll get the Hibbing program on par with Hermantown.
Step one: Have 150,000 people within a 10 minute drive of your program.
You're gonna have to give me a few weeks to work on that.

Your team should be in AA, and everyone knows it.
