Well I would disagree with you that ND is a hockey state, I wish it were but it is not. It is not predominantly one sport though

I agree who cares about orange ball, this a hockey site

Nope, but I know him a little. KJ

Ok what's my name?

Who me or Hockey 09

Yeah I used to live there. In the cities now. You're not in Green Bay are you?

Hockey 09 U from Williston?

What number did Experience where, I have never seen him play before!

Game is on the radio, but is delayed.

I wish I could listen to the game. Basketball is just stupid, they should not be able to play it at any time anywhere.

WillistonSioux Did you play for the Coyotes? When, if you did? I played from 97-99

Yeah, it wasn't against Willert, it was against Lamoureux, I guess. I don't know much about it, but I guess he got a good shot in. It was Friday, January 26th I guess. Just thought it was interesting, especially since Jundt is definitely not a fighter. I don't know about Lamoureux.

Not High School Hockey this year, but I heard that Tyler Jundt and Willert had a go at it in juniors. From what I heard Jundt may have broken Willert's nose. Just second hand news, so not sure how true it is. Just thought it was interesting

I didn't mean the coaches taught the players to use the stick. They learned from playing against each other. I also am not saying that these were penalty hooking/slashing at least at the time, but now if it is going to be more aggressively called it could be. I think in the east it was taught to use their feet and skate, but along with it came a little clutch and grab. In the west I think a more physical game was taught (more checking) but with that came use of elbows/crosschecks. This is what I meant, sorry for the confusion. As for everybody saying that east teams are better. They have been, and probably will be for quite some time. For the most part they have many more players to choose from that tryout for the team, which means that have more kids pushing each other for the spots. Another thing I know for Grand Forks at least, they have more chances to get on the ice. I think there is 17 outdoor rinks or something like that in the area, and when there is ice there are kids out there. Another thing is that they play MN teams which is a little higher quality opponents which forces a team to get better or keep losing. West teams do not have that option. I do think the gap has narrowed a little in the last few years, but the west still has a long way to go. Just my $.02

Using the logic that better teams have better skaters so will use their stick less may seem to make sense, but in my opinion that is not always the case. When I played high school hockey, it always seemed that teams in the east used their sticks to hook and slash much more than any team from the west. I think it has more to do with how they are taught to play the game or more so learn to play the game. But I do think players will make the adjustments, it may take half the season but it will be done. I guess the only way to see is to come to a conclusion after games have been played.

Goophers win on bad play by dogs. Didn't clear the puck out of the zone
