Been working great for me.

My oh my will forever be etched in my mind. RIP Scottie.

My team loved to play on the big ice. Now the last 2 years I coached Jamestown we had 11 skaters on the team. You would think the bigger ice would be a negative for our team because of our short bench. For some reason it was the opposite. Team got stronger as the games went on and managed a 5th and 4th place finish my last 2 years. The atmosphere in there is pretty amazing when it's full as it gets loud and the team fed off that.

I didn't care about girls HS hockey either until I coached it for 6 years. Now that I'm done I have an appreciation for the work they put into it. With that said I'd much rather watch the boys.

Thanks.

I know. What was the attendance for the championship game? Watching on TV there were plenty of empty seats.

What was the attendance at Scheels last year for the championship game? I have no idea.

And your reasoning is?

Minot is in the process of building a new arena attached to their MAYSA rinks that will seat 2500 fans. I'm sure they will be looking to get it down the road.

And that is why the state tourney needs to go to Fargo and stay there. With the extra rink attached to Scheels it will be the perfect venue without having to cater to someone else.

Wild have now gone 2 months without a win at the X. How the hell is that even possible?

Guarantee he never wins a natty.

He couldn't win it with the Lammy twins. Time for some new blood.

There is someone out there that can do better and one with a personality.

Idalski won't do North Dakota high school hockey any favors.

Scanlan is a hell of a coach. Would love to see him behind the women's bench at some point.

I'm aware of the women's game. I was a coach when this happened 4-5 years ago. Dumb making kids play at 9 in the morning at their state tourney.

Some of these start times for these games is ridiculous.

I have yet to hear anyone praise the guy. Have a buddy who plays beer league in GF. Sounds like he is probably the most disliked guy in the league. Does not surprise me.

That falls on the coach. Period.

None is the correct answer.

Stecher suspended for Friday's game after hit from behind Saturday night at end of game.

Always tough when you see your kid play his last high school hockey game as was the case with my son Nick and the Blue Jays yesterday at the west region tourney in Minot. They probably played one of their best games of the year but had no puck luck. Kid came a long ways since he first laced em up 14 years ago. A true grinder that always gave 100%. It truly has been a joy.

Same reaction with the folks I know that went. No doubt I will be going to the next one which I hope is within 3-4 years.

37,000 for the alumni game Saturday and 50,000 plus for the game sunday. Wish I could of been one of them.
