Could not agree more on the ice , boards, and glass. Went to it last year. The whole thing was a joke from getting in Target Center to getting out. Until they upgrade I will stay at home and watch from my couch.
My girls took 5th and 4th in 2012 and 2013 with 11 skaters and a goalie. Only team we didn't beat in the state was West Fargo and took them to overtime. Bismarck has the players to do it. No question.
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.
