I went to the south DL game tonight. It was a hard fought close game all throughout. 3-0 score is deceiving. DL got a late PP goal and an empty netter. DL's home advantage was huge for them. They announced that there were over 500 students in attendance. That must be k-12, but still. It'll be a different story for them here in GF on Friday. I don't see both semi games being blow outs but it would take a miracle to knock off either GF team right now. They're in their own separate pack. I think DL, Davies and BHS are in their own pack a little ways behind RR+Central.

Yeah he was from RR. They called him the CaveMan. I know he was up for Mr. Hockey, but did he win it? I don't remember.

Yeah I forgot about Weisgarber. He led the 2006 Fargo South team that won State and you're correct, he also played at Air Force.

With Grant Johnson playing at his own level above the rest of the state this season, who are some past players that you remember being as good if not better than him? Just to name a few main stream and not so main stream names--- I remember Eric Meland from RR in 08 (Princeton), Chad Demers from GPR in 08 (Air Force), the morelands from central in the early 2000s, Mario Lamoureux at central (und) Jake Marto from central(und) , Harrison Aide from Bott, obviously Peluso in the 90s (UMD) and many more... others?

Yeah that j-town vs dicky will be a good one. I don't see a top 4 team losing in either the west or east, but that'll be the best matchup.

BU looked unbeatable until they went west and got spank-swept in Denver.

They play at icon at 5pm today. I might go watch

That's pretty cool. Where can you view the rankings? Are they in a league in MN or are they independent and just travel a lot?

How do you know that? Looks like they play Fargo AA today at the icon

I took a look at ND's players and it looks like most of them were Jr. Gold players.

Side topic: I just found out about the 'Midwest High School Hockey League'. It looks like Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska joined together to make one league for high school. Pretty interesting. Also, I noticed on their site that they had tryouts listed for a team going to americas showcase. It sounds like it's the sequel to the laid off Chicago showcase. I didn't even realize it existed. ND had a team in it last year and got spanked. They lost to Florida, San Diego and Colorado. They were in the C pool. Yikes! Seems a little unrepresentative obviously. Anyone know if ND is attempting to get a better tryout process set up for his team?

And he only allowed one goal in each of the 3 games before his streak. Wow

Is that some sort of riddle?

Yeah they split this season by the exact same score. I wonder what the next tier is for tie breakers

I'm assuming this is including A teams and B teams?

It still blows my mind that THREE Fargo schools need to join together to make one decent hockey team. South, Shanley and Oak Grove.

I think bismarck's youth numbers indicate Definitely needing another HS hockey team in the future.

If south loses to GFC then they are #5 and DL will be #4. So south would travel to DL to play the first round. If south beats central then they are tied for #4 with DL but south owns the tie breaker with a +1 goal differential so the first round game between the two would be in Fargo. But central will win so south is #5 yep.

Anyone have the south GFC score? North is down 5-0 to DL.

I still want to know how that goal happened. I can almost guarantee it was a Bismarck player stalling when they were up by 20 and passed it back to his goalie and it went into the net or something along those lines. They are getting out shot by 60-100 shots a game, which means they probably never get it passed the red line. Let alone score a goal on Bismarck High. Either way, this has to be THEE worst season by a team in ND high school hockey history. I feel bad for those kids, that's tough.

Any score yet?

That's pretty cool. Great idea for getting kids to pick up some skills! GFC and DL rematch tonight as well.

Gotcha. Maybe they could save some money and just knock down the walls to their ginormous cafeteria sized locker rooms and add a sheet in that space.

Whoops, sorry! Yes Dickinson would be a part of the SW. But actually the NW region would be the one in the most need of an extra team so maybe they could join that region.

We want BC to win because straight up win over them trumps other scenarios. I noticed you said Huskies win also helps us, hows that? Since Harvard is ranked better than us?
