I'm not saying there isn't a JV team with a winning record. I'm saying the quality of the JV players is down compared to the last couple years. Fargo South's JV 2 years ago consisted of Campbell, Larson, Galt, Ramberg, Grande, etc.. Now even though Red River's JV squad this year only lost 2 games you can't possibly be implying that they would hang in a game with that South team. With sophomores like Meland, Simonson, Vigen, Swanson, LaDoucer, Galbreath, McBain, Bekkadahl, Tanner Anderson and Powers all bypassing JV its easy to see why the JV programs aren't going to be like they were. This season the JV teams consisted of the lower part of the 10th grade and there are virtually no juniors out there. I mean I saw WF play a competitive game with Fargo South this year. It's not the best age group number wise for JV hockey to be decent.
If they only lost twice, and one was to Roseau, wouldnt that imply that they tied or beat South. I've never seen either play so if there is anyone who knows could they clarify.

I've looked at the eligibity rules and I can't figure that out for sure or not. They list rule E: "Players who play exclusively for a Junior "A" team are not eligible." but it doesn't say what time frame that exclusivity covers. I would think it applies to the school year, but it doesn't say.
I believe the committment rule is by state, ND to my knowledge does not have a rule against players who have committed to a junior team or college playing, but I know that in Minnesota they only allow players who have not committed. Also, from what I've heard Mihulka is most likely going to be the only RR player to try out.

I agree with you. I was at the game, had a perfect view of Kringstad of GPR and it was clear that the opposing RR guy was in the crease. Talked to a few game officials and they agreed. Even Coach Haugland argued it. Oh well, BY THE WAY...Red River students need to control theirselves. They are way too offensive. I saw that last night as they were screaming at Kringstad. Please, game administration, do something!
Kringstad deserves everything he gets, he is the biggest baby in the state. Go ahead and attack me for picking on a high school kid, but he is old enough to control himself and he does not. If I were from Grafton I would be embarrassed to see him put on the maroon and yellow, real unfortunate when the kid plays a great game just to make a fool of himself again after the game. I heard Bina and his staff are going to wear full equipment for the handshakes tonight in case Kringstad fires a puck at him like he did at Malm. Is Jay Haugland afraid to stand up to his goalie, or just oblivious?
-
Never said they didn't deserve it...just said they are not supposed to be there...
You make no sense. Everyone has the same oppurtunity to get to the state semifinals so how can you say they arent "supposed to be there.

i wouldnt have much to say either if my team played one of their worst games of the year
It doesnt matter how bad your team played, as the head coach you are an ambassador for your team to the press and it sends a pretty bad message when he is too immature to comment on the game. It's that kind of thing that probably influences why the Forum covers Moorhead hockey more than FSH. If a proffesional coach ditches a post-game press confrence they are hit with big fines, if you cant handle the heat, than get out of the kitchen.
-
It's not a matter of where he is from, becasue he's been playing hockey in Fargo for 4 or 5 years. That type of behavior is not tolerated at RR or Central, Malm or Bina would have had a spot for him on the bench. Wilson is a classless coach and it shows through in his players sometimes. Also, it was nice of Wilson to talk to the Forum after Saturday's loss, or is he the one who had no comment.

Mihulka is flat out the best all-around player in the state. He has more goals than anyone, (with the exception of that McBain character), is the best penalty-killer in the state, and he single-handedly beat the "best team in the state" when they knew he was the only player they had to stop. I was not won over on Mihulka for Mr. Hockey before the EDC tourney, i always felt he was the best all-around player, now there is no doubt in my mind he is the best all-around player to come out of ND in a long time.
-
Its sad to think that although Marc Mihulka has clearly distinguished himself as the best player in the state, I dont think he will be a canidate for Mr. Hockey. I think its gonna be Galt, Weisgarber, and Paul Campbell.

Wedin scores. Central moves on.

I again have to apoligize for the behavior of some of the RR players on this website... Please don't think what some of the JV players say on here is an indication of how the team feels. I hope that I don't have to come on here agian and say this.... Hopefully they realize that thier making a mockery of the RR program.
You know this post by lives to play hockey just proves to me that he does not play for RR or for that matter have anything to do with the RR program. IF he did, he would know that there were no JV players behind the class, they were all together up near the top corner of the arena. It's quite humorous that people actually believe that this poser is a member of the RR team. Where in my post did I say anything that would need apologizing for?..... I simply stated what I saw and what I think of a player and his immature reactions.

I just got back from the RR-GPR game, which I thought was well-played bith ways. I have one question however, what is the deal with Tony Kringstad? He has to be the biggest baby I have ever seen in a hockey game, any age. After RRs 5th goal, he turned around to a kid, probably between 11 and 14 who was pounding the glass after the goal, and blatantly pointed at him and said "F#$% you". The kid was in no way taunting him and there was absolutely no reason for it. He lays down on his net and throws his stick every time a goal is scored on him, at one point tonight a coach on the bench was forced to yell at him for about 10 seconds from the bench to get up. Anyone who disagrees with me has to spend a game standing behind him and I can guarantee you will agree. He is a disgrace to the rest of his team.

I have been watching this recent conversation unfold. South4life is some character - some sort of imposter no doubt. I don't really care much about this line of conversation but just for the record when Galt was a sophomore the "great" players for south were Justin Mauch (52 pts - 3rd in state for scoring), Paul Weisgarber (43 pts 6th), Adam Kankelfritz (38 pts 11th), Luke Brehmer (36 pts 15th), Tyler Dalbey (30 pts 20th), Caleb Luecke (28 pts, 23rd). It is unusual that a so-called South "fan" would not remember any of these players.
In the defense of those who said Galt didnt have great numbers as a sophomore, will someone please point out how many of the players you listed were defenseman?

Wow you know youre stuff, seeing how I'm not even from Grand Forks, not to mention I havent been in High School for six years. Good point to on how they would be being recruited by D-1 schools if they were that good, seeing how they are SOPHOMORES and recruiting laws prohibit contact between a team and player before the end of their junior season. But I guess its me that doesnt know my stuff right, when you feel like growing up and making meaningful conversation, post again. I have never said that Eric Galt or Paul Weisgarber are not very talented players, but to say that LaDouceur and Galbreath arent amazing talents for their age is just stupid. Never did I state that they are as talented as Ryan Poltuny or that they will be drafted in the 2nd round, I just said that they are two very smart, talented, young defenseman who could definitley one day be D-I prospects. I have also never claimed that Rosendahl is a god, have I once said that he is a Phillipe Lamoureux or Aaron Walski....No. Also, you might not know this but in the one year Rosendahl tried out for elites, he split time with Oakland and had very similar stats. The only reason Oakland left high school is because he was on a terrible team with no sign of improvement. As I stated earlier, you need to grow up and think about what youre saying before you say it. If you dont know your facts, shut up.

I hope your kidding about seeing those two in Sioux uniforms. The last thing we need is two defensemen who are going to have trouble handling forwards from Concordia, trying to handle forwards from Denver. If you think saying they'd have trouble with forwards from Concordia is a stretch, give Cory Johnson a call, I'm sure he'd love to have a one on one against them.
I'm gonna have to completely disagree with you on this one, they are both amazingly talented high school hockey players. Not to mention they are SOPHOMORES!! I have seen both of them play extensively this year and I would be willing to bet that both of them will be highly recruited D-I prospects when their time comes. They will both be 6 feet tall and if they put on some muscle, which juniors will assist in, they will be just fine. Sometimes people forget that its not all about strength when it comes to stopping oppsoing forwards, it has a lot to do with positioning and hockey smarts, both of which are qualties these guys portray. As a matter of fact, they remind me alot of a younger current Sioux recruit, Jake Marto. Not by any means the biggest or strongest guy on the ice, but he sees the ice as well as anyone and he seems to be doing just fine.

As stated before RR dominated the second half of the first and whole second period. They came out very flat in the third and Minot capitalized on there odd man rush, and point blank oppertunities. The more i watch LaDoucer and Galbreath the more amazed I am with how good they are. Hope to see them in a Sioux Uniform in a few years.

I didn't say 80 percent of the kids would play college or juniors. Maybe i didnt state it right but what i meant is that a majority of the high school hockey players would like to play juniors or college.
I'd still say 80% is way too high.

The percentage of North Dakota High School Seniors who will actually try to make a Junior team is, at best 5%. There are 18 high school varsity teams in the state and maybe 16 JV - let's rough the roster size out to about 17 on average per team (34 teams in total). If we multiply 34 teams times 17 players we get 578 players - lets just round it to 600 for this exercise. From the tryout rosters that I have seen from last year and the list of kids who made the teams, I estimate that about 10-12 seniors tried out - maybe an additional 3-4 juniors did so for the experience. If we use 80% that would be about 480 kids - my review of last years tryout rosters - most of which are all publically posted indicates about 10 or so - that is about 5% of the seniors (rough estimate - 600 players divided by 3 for soph/jun/senior classes = 200 seniors. Then divide 10 kids trying out by 200 = 5%). This is all rough but the point is that it is a very small percentage. Assuming that each class has 5% that want to try out then during any one season you have about 15% of the kids, in all classes, who may try out for a junior team. You might have a couple of kids who try to play club hockey in college or D-III who do not play juniors but that would only add a few more to the total.
Now, if you mean will "play hockey after high school" - I assume you are talking about college or juniors and not men's league - which will still not reach near 80%, not even 50% in my speculation.
Statistics on this issue are sometimes provided in the program for the North Dakota High School Hockey Tournament (a listing of kids and where they are playing hockey post-high school).
Thanks for the good post. I was getting a bit annoyed by the number of players that some people think will be playin D-I college hockey. Then when they said 80% of high schoolers intend on playing after high school, well that just made me laugh.

As I stated earlier, it is harder to keep a high save percentage when facing as few shots as these guys do. Also, I dont know if this is the case for Deichert, but RR gives up alot more breakaways than they create. For some reason they have a knack for giving up breakaways against teams they are dominating and as a goalie it has to be difficult to not see a shot for 8 minutes and then be faced with a clear breakaway. It is hard to say how these goalies would do if they were playing for a team such as Wahpeton or Jamestown, but you also have to realize that those goalies have been facing 40+ shots per game their entire careers which undoubtedly helps them develop as goalies. Rosendahl and Deichert have probably averaged less than 20 shots a game since they were 8 years old, who knows how good they would be had they been facing twice as many shots their whole life.

When do regions start? Where can you get tickets for the state tournament?
Thursday, February 16 and at the door.
-
The tie-breaker is goal differential against the 3rd place team in the region (Grafton), which can be found on the ndhsaa website under 2005-06 Rules and Regulations. So if RR beats Grafton by one goal or less, South is the 1 seed. If RR wins by 2, there is a coin flip, and if they win by 3 they are the 1 seed. This of course assuming neither RR or FS stumble hard before the end of the year.

I was impressed with Red River tonight. They don't really have any superstars, just a lot of hard working players. Although the Central goalies gave up some weak ones, they had a lot of opportunities, and I'd say that they deserved to score six goals with the way they played. Rosendahl made some nice saves for Red River, yet gave up some weak ones. If he plays well in the state tournament we'll be talking about back to back....
Red River did play well tonight, although the first period was rather weak offensively, as they generated very few shots on net. The only knock on RR that I have is that I have yet to see them play a complete 51 minutes this year. The South game was very close, but they took about 5 minutes off and South scored all three goals. I highly doubt they will be able to beat FS come tournament time if they dont put togther a complete game. I would also have to disagree with you about the weak goals call, the first one was a rebound which he had no chance at and the third was hit in by a teammate. The only goal he had a shot at was the second, the shot hit his blocker and deflected just under the crossbar.
-
I attended the Red River-FN game tonight and I must say I was rather surprised at how far Fargo North hockey really has fell. It was really men against boys. There has been a lot of talk on this thread of a few North players being among the states elite but I think that there are probably 6 or 7 players on RR's roster that would be the best player on FN. Also I must comment on the immature play of many of the Spartan players late in the game. They got quite chippy and that kind of play is totally uncalled for in a game that is already over. You'd think with all the ass-whoopings theyve had this season theyd be able to handle it better.

Just got back from the South-RR game and all I can say is wow. Probably the best high school hockey game I've ever seen, had everything.
I ONLY WISH THE BEST FOR RYAN P
