There will be ND state tournaments this year with security guards after what happened at one of the tournaments last year (Fargo parents involved with that one too....surprise.....). I watched the live barn video of the incident. As soon as I saw the Grand Forks players go in front of the Fargo parents I knew it was going to reach a new level. I would have a tough time holding it together if an idiot put their hands on my kid after a hockey game. Man.....

"See those.....yeah....we won a nonconference shootout and we get fireworks. This guy @MafiaMan doesn't understand...."

Very few south kids play. I'd assume they end up playing at Fargo North. Can't imagine they'd be called the Spruins.

According to the NDAHA website this year there will be play in games as B1 will be an 8 team tournament. The top five teams automatically qualify, while the 6 vs. 11, 7 vs. 10, and 8 vs. 9 play it out at home sites.

TJ goalie of the week. I'd be all for him winning the award a third week in a row.

Completely agree. Fill the high school teams first, then put out your JG team. Hopefully the Jr. Gold has cleaned up a little bit since the days of the police having to separate people in the lobby and parents getting suspended from arenas because of harassing officials.

The right way to keep your program going. ^^^^^^^^^^

I thought this as well. When I played Nate Ziegelman was a dude. Best player in the state, yes on a loaded team. Thankfully the decision makers got that one right. Lot of people pissed because he didn't see a ton of rubber, like 12 shots a game. Didn't mean he wasn't the best player. Keller likely gone either way. Impressive season for the young man.

Good sweep against the dogs. We for the moment stay ahead of Denver who had a sweep in Miami against a team that is dead in the water. They get their next dead in the water team this weekend as they host Stearns county's finest hockey team, although Cathedral is always good. We hit Lawson this weekend and the Penrose Cup will be in the building. Four points and the Broncos win the cup outright for the first time in the league's history. They got a two point weekend at Mullett against a testy Sun Devils squad. I'm not a pairwise predictor but thankfully others are and can tell us where UND will sit with a split or a tie and a win, tie and a loss etc. Currently 18th. A win plus any result that isn't a loss would be ideal. Our goalie situation is settled for now. TJ has been good two weeks in a row, and the net is his. I liked our lines this week. Guys who don't produce in top 6 rolls should be on the fourth line and see limited minutes. Nice to see OMac get going last night, hopefully he gets on a roll here. The prediction: The Lunatics give #4 a tough time, and we get a split and possibly watch them skate the Penrose around a bit.

Nice sweep. On to the zoo.

What I wwouldn't give to be sitting next to Bruce Ciskie right now.

Matchups: Central-Bottineau/Rugby Century-WFHS Minot-Davies Red River-Mandan

Davies punches their ticket. They'll get either the 3 or 4 seed depending on WFHS and North.

That skate save was better lucky than good. A credit to you and the coaches in Jamestown for the Jays playing the game the right way. That's something that is a culture that is instilled in the youth levels. I enjoyed watching them this year. They'll never have the most talent, but those kids will battle for each other.

Congrats to the Braves. Big for a class B school to qualify.

Young man in net for the Jays has been excellent. Really impressed with some of the saves he's made.

WDA picks: Bottineau-Rugby over Jamestown. Legacy over Mandan. Century over Minot. EDC: Davies over DL WFHS over North Central over RR

I agree. His top two lines were rolling last night, and they got a good goaltending performance as well. I wouldn't be shocked if they knocked off Minot.

Heard from some folks that Cunningham of KNOX had some harsh words for Mattern at the end of the game on his broadcast. Didn't watch, can anyone elaborate?

Century looked really really good tonight until they let off the gas and it ended up 6-3. Could see some dog fights in the first round with Minot and Century getting either DL, North, Davies, or WF.

It is a great day of hockey across the state as we have 8 games going today. A fun day for all. WDA Picks: Mandan, Bottineau-Rugby, Minot, Century. EDC Picks: North, Devils Lake, WFHS, Central. PSP for WDA, Knox for EDC streaming.

No, I think Ausmus, Spicer, Panzer, and Costello will be fine when they get here.

Bottineau-Rugby goaltender was fun to watch. Just a Sophomore. Only goal he gave up was off his d man's shin pad.

Watching the game with my dad said the same thing about him 5 minutes before it ended. Can't lose 97 right there.
