Outlets like BEK and PSP do a world of good for high school athletes, and don't get the credit that they deserve for the time and effort to put these games on the air. I've talked about him before, but the amount of hours that Nick Hulberg puts into PSP can't be counted. Over the years he has grown his product to include basketball, football, hockey, volleyball, swimming, youth hockey games, racing, concerts, golf, in the Minot and Bismarck-Mandan markets. Last I heard he was trying to get into the Dickinson market as well. As a high school hockey fan it was pretty cool to be at Purpur arena on Saturday afternoon and check live action of the WDA tournament between periods of the EDC games. One day these guys will be gone and what we have with them will be gone as well. I'm extremely thankful to those who advertise with them to keep their productions afloat, because it can't be done without the dollars that come from those people.

At the end of their reign the KVLY coverage was abysmal. You had Jamal Franklin (bless his heart, he tried) calling the games with zero idea what was going on because he wasn't a hockey guy, and former Spud coach Morinville trying to cover for him. When you had whomever with O'Keefe it wasn't ever terrible because O'Keefe can just fill space with the best of them.

From the sounds of it it looks like some teams will be getting to Grand Forks early with the expected weather forecast now being blizzard conditions.

Ya know, years ago when I was playing high school hockey all the teams would come in Wednesday and practice and then attend a banquet on Wednesday night for all the teams. What has happened to the state tournament experience for these kids? It's sad that what was once a four day celebration has become what it has. I dunno, I get the "teachers in the classroom" argument, but one day extra as an incentive if your team makes the state tournament is a nice way to end the year.

You should be CC's Schlossman. God what a good summary of the Tigers.

Hawks....Tigers....let's get it on. They....checking here....played Western and were swept out of Lawson, however they were in both games. We split with SCSU with a skills competition loss and a 3x3 win, celebrated largely by the #MGFC who has an open petition now to get #17 to stay in the forks for ten years @MafiaMan tells me. Alright @Godsmack enlighten us on the Springs City Kitties. The only observation I have is that we need to stick with DeRidder from here on out. Season winding down, he's gotta be the guy.

I thought getting Panzer back would push them over their struggle to score early in the season. I don't think he was quite at normal Panzer ability coming off his injury.

Central's goaltending was good in the EDC tournament up to that game against Sheyenne. It cost them on goals #2 and #3. Sheyenne's goalie was as locked in as I've seen him all year long. Tough for both teams to sit around for a 4 OT game before, but to the kids credit they came out and played a good hockey game.
-
Probably so Red River didn't get another look at Olsonawski. He did the same thing last year splitting the EDC title game. I dunno.
-
South coach started his backup goalie against Red River, and the Riders win going away 8-3. State: Red River vs. Jamestown Minot vs. Sheyenne Legacy vs. Davies South vs. Century

Cruickshank should have his doctorate by now right? -
Tremendous goaltending in a big spot. Congrats to the Jays!

Only for you....

A hurtful hostile and abusive term to those dealing with personal issues. Unless they are talking about my kids....then it's fine.

With the way Central is playing I thought they'd beat South. They just ran out of gas and a kid made a great play to beat a goaltender who was playing pretty well. South did a great job letting Olsonawski see everything. I've followed him closely this year and you just root for the kid because of the things he has been through with his mother passing away. His dad is a super good guy as well. Always has time to talk when I run into him around the rink.

The way we play in our own end SCSU is a season ender because of the Herb. Preferred destinations: 1. Omaha 2. Western 3. SCSU 4. Denver To me 3 and 4 are season over. 2 is a big time challenge, but for whatever reason we've been okay at Lawson.
-
He looked like a figure skater on the game winning goal. Yikes.
-
Okay.....yes a nice pass, but what in the world Huskies. Yes, I'm talking about you 14. For everything you hear about Okabe that's on him. More puck watching here than at the squirt International.....
-
NCHC rookie of the year Jackson Blake was huge. On a team where nothing is consistent he is one that gives a glimpse of hope for next year along with 21, 22, and 26. With guys changing he could of got off the ice and got a fresh pair of legs out against a tired SCSU group, but he wanted the puck on his stick deciding the game.

I'm excited for EDC today. Should be loads of fun. Two evenly matched teams to start things with North and Davies, and then Sheyenne vs. Central part 2, a year to the date almost where Sheyenne knocked the Knights out of the state tournament. I think Red River gets past South today as they'll have more legs than the Bruins, but Olsonawski can definitely be a difference maker for them as well. Predictions: Davies over North Central gets redemption Red River beats South Century over Mandan Jamestown over Dickinson Minot over Legacy
-
WDA: Legacy-Minot Century-Mandan Jamestown-Dickinson EDC: Red River-South Shanley North-Davies Central-Sheyenne
-
All Blake. All Blake. Good guys!
-
Awful play by him....
-
Ohh my clowns... Who is #14 for them?
-
100% interference....sigh.
