Youth politics was very active when we moved. Came to Fargo with my son a sophomore. He “made” the South hockey roster- but as a newby was placed on 4th line. He was no superstar but clearly better than most above him. So he changed to Junior Gold hockey. Played top line- and we all had a blast of a season- parents as well as kids. South Coach later told our Jr Gold coach he made a mistake not playing him.
So we moved on and south lost to GF again in playoffs. And deserved it.
Canada looked insurmountable. but 2 odd ones in the 3rd show they are not invincible. Plus a world class goalie save late in 3rd by Sweden.
Both had good tries in OT but Canucks made one count.
Maybe we need more Jammer like roughness: get in fights-get back to 3on 3 for more minutes. Seem to do well in league OT 3X3 so maybe try during regular minutes. (Sarcasm)
