Then girls will continue to quit knowing they aren't an all star and won't make the one high school team. It's happening now and has been. Sad deal for sure.

Again grow the sport not the trophy case and the only way to do that is to have 2 teams in Bismarck. God forbid if they don't make it to the championship game every year.

Exactly. I coached with 12 girls and we competed with everyone in the state. First year I coached over half my team were freshman or younger. Like I said Bismarck has the numbers for 2 teams.

Since the current team is not associated with a high school a second team could be the same. The bottom line is you have 2 programs and the sport will grow. Girls would much rather play high school programs than U19 teams.

Facts are the numbers are and have been there. This from a former Bismarck high school girls coach that I'm good friends with. Nice try though.

Didn't realize I freaked out with my post. I think you need to relax son.

Finally the Wild get a win at the X in the year 2016 with a 3-1 win over the Panthers. Tuesdays game should have a playoff feel to it with the Avs in town and I and 3 buddies will be there and starting at Tom Reids around 4 to start the pre game beverages.

Yes this has been posted twice now

My daughter got recruited by Warroad 7 years ago after she went to a camp up there. She did not like it up there. Worked out good though as I got to coach her all 4 years in high school here.

That's because a lot of them are forced out because of one high school team. They don't want to play a U19 schedule when they are sophomores, juniors , or seniors. I assure you if there was another high school team these older girls who don't make the current all star team would continue to play.

My bad

MM I don't think you are getting the point. Now I know 99% of folks here could give 2 craps about girls or women's hockey and I was in the same boat until I coached HS girls hockey. The thing is the sport will grow if girls from age say 7-12 know they can play for high school team regardless if they are an all star at it. It's what is happening in Bismarck now abd has been for 4-5 years. Same thing in GF. Hopefully it gets done it both cities.

Girls hockey needs more teams. It's been stuck at 11 teams for 7 years now. Bismarck adds another and you are at 12 and could have a east and west region. It's about growing the sport not the trophy case.

Bismarck draws from 5 high schools. (Century, High, Legacy, Shiloh, St Mary's)

Yes they have the numbers and yes they cut.

Bingo.

Ah the all stars from Bismarck. 5 high schools in that town and 1 team.

This. ^^^^^^^^

Hang on Dogs.

At least one of the stars.

I'm aware.

And Dean is a minny alum and it didn't stop him. Bottom line it's time for some new blood behind the bench.

He is the guy they need to get. Had the privilege of coaching against him when he was the EGF girls coach. A great guy who is one heck of a coach.

Bottom line is UND won't get more top players in the world because of Idalski. It's no mystery.

Bismarck is not a big hockey town. If it was they would of had another sheet of ice or 2 years ago because they have needed it. Sounds like they are finally getting one added to the Shaumberg Arena. Still baffles me how a town with 5 high schools only has 1 girls team and 2 boys teams.
