I just read a story about Grafton Park River area youth hockey numbers growing back to their historically strong water marks. They have 175 in youth hockey and see strong varsity+JV numbers for the foreseeable future. That's encouraging to see and hear, especially if you look at the steady population decline of that area of the state. Anyone know how hockey participation is doing in some of the other "smaller" schools/programs around the state? Bottineau+Rugby, HB, DL+Cando, Mayport, Jamestown+VC? It seems like HB has been hanging on by a thread for years now, and Mayport youth numbers look pretty thin, so I'm wondering if they will be able to continue fielding a varsity team or not. It would be great if Wahp would come back to ND, but I doubt that will happen due to having FAR more success playing in MN than in the EDC since they moved.
