7 WDA member hockey schools: BHS, Century, Minot, Mandan, Dickinson, Williston, Jamestown. 8 EDC member hockey schools: North, South/Shanley, Davies, WF, Sheyenne, Red River, Central, Devils Lake. None of these schools will ever be Class B or whatever you call the lower division, unless there enrollment drops below the Class A minimum. The AD's would never go along with it because then you have to create a lower division in every sport so the bottom teams could be competitive. Bismarck Legacy will add hockey in the next couple years bringing the total to 16 Class A schools playing hockey. Wahpeton-Breckenridge, another Class A school, has played as an independent in Minnesota for almost a decade. That leaves four current teams for Class B, G-PR, Bottineau, Hazen, and Mayville, so even if you add Watford City, Langdon, and Crosby you don't have enough for a Class B league to be sanctioned, plus it's wrong to even list Grafton-Park River they would choose to play up. Minnesota Section 8A is always won by EGF, TRF, or Warroad, how is that fair to Bagley-Fosston, LOW or Kittson Central? 8AA is Moorhead's to lose every year, where are the change.org petitions for Minnesota?

That "Freeman" guy from Friday night was ok, but Hunt was as worthless as they come. He was officiating for 1) a split and 2) a brawl.

That's definitely it, thank you very much.

It's definitely not that, its nothing really main stream.

Does anybody know the song that they play at REA either right before the Sioux come out for warm ups or for the start of the game? It kind of sounds like chanting or something like that.

It's good to see a Central fan calling someone else chippy. GFC has been a complete embarassment to the Redskin tradition the last couple of years. Its one thing to be down but have some class. I think they broke the all time record for misconducts last year. Hopefully this years crew will be better.

1. Red River 2. South 3. Grafton 4. DL 5. North 6. Bismarck 7. West Fargo 8. Jamestown 9. GFC 10. Minot

"We played a terrible game. We're a very selfish team, we're not very disciplined and we don't work very hard. We have the most talented team in the state and we play as 20 individuals." Dean Wilson in todays Fargo Forum.

I think they have to be counted towards the 21 game schedule. Red River and Central did not play in holiday tournaments last year so they probably had room in their schedules.

Bismarck Century beat Fargo North in the first round in 2001.

I would say more like Red River 6 Jamestown 1

I know that DL graduated two defensemen that are playing junior A hockey. Alex Olsen is with Bismarck and Kenny Lybeck is with Dubuque. I would not trade Red Rivers D or Fargo Souths D for what DL has left on the blueline. If Jamestown can get 5 against DL, I bet South, Red River, and Grafton can too. We all know DL has talent but the other teams practice to.

You give up 5 at home to Jtown and you think your D are the best. When is the last time Jtown scored 5 in a EDC game that wasn't against Wahpteton? 5 or 6 years ago? DL will finish 5th or 6th.

A few more from tonight. Dickinson 4 Wahpeton 3, Red River 13 Shanley 0, and Williston 6 Jamestown 4

Did you attend the North-Century game? How did the refs call it? Lots of Penalties? I heard the Shanley-GFC game had about 30 penalties.
