    Warroad v EGF on KNOX YouTube tonight for the 8A title. Should be a dandy.
  2. Johnny Five
    Maybe there'll be some chatter about that at NIT camp this weekend.
  3. Johnny Five
    Wait a minute. Alexandria girls are section 8aa and the boys are 6a? What the hell…that’s odd.

    Any wins over a KCC team that finished with 2 wins is discredited. They had 11 kids on their roster. And are we really gonna puff our chest about CHS beating Ifalls? Maybe Roseau beating Sheyenne 9-0 and Minot 7-1 is better. But yes, always fun to see the GF teams play EGF, Roseau, Moorhead and Warroad.

    Interesting. Was always told it was open enrollment in GF.
  6. Johnny Five
    Minot very well could be playing in the final game of the year next year. That is, if everyone stays.
  7. Johnny Five
    Was just curious if they knew at an early age or if they waited it out to see where opportunity exists.

    Question about Grand Forks hockey....since it is open enrollment, do most kids know where they're going to go when they're PW age? Or what is the process and when do they decide what school they are gonna go to?

    Zam guys had Abrahamson for 8-10 minute shifts at times depending on the game situation….lol!

    Ryan Cunningham made mention on his pregame show today that Fargo South girls are allegedly going to coop with Davies and Fargo North will just be the Spartans….

    The best boys and girls team in the state hoist the trophies…..
  12. Johnny Five
    Minot beats south 5-2 for 3rd place. Minot loses 2 F and 3 D. They will be a handful next season.
  13. Johnny Five
    If families move there, nothing can be done.
  14. Johnny Five
    North scores 2 late ones to beat Legacy 4-2. North tendy made some unreal saves. Unfortunately, legacy now 0-6 in state tournaments and losing a lot of seniors. north v CHS for 5th.

    BisMan has 4 boys teams within 10 minutes. Facilites aren’t as nice but crowds are better. No offense to minot, just the way it is. it won’t change. And that’s fine. Just my experience with kids that have played….

    My daughter told me the locker room situation at Maysa wasn’t ideal last years. Locker rooms with adjoining bathrooms and showers. Kinda odd why state is better east and why WDA is better in Bismarck. More teams and schools bring more casual fans. Minot on too big of an island…

    GF has the best goalie left out of the 4. They have a great chance.

    atmosphere for girls games at the FU has been electric. 100x better than Minot last year. Loud and exciting. almost wrong to move them to scheels. It’ll be a snoozer for atmosphere.
  19. Johnny Five
    Hard to believe the final weekend is here. Best of luck to all teams. Hopefully it's a fantastic tournament.

    Quitting was the narrative about Bismarck and the Blizzard for years and it was untrue. I'm not buying it. I see 17 skaters on the roster this year and 2 goalies. Room for 5-7 more skaters easily in WF. Big issue is no guaranteed ice in HS, it actually has to be earned. Problem I've seen in Bismarck is you do Captains practice and off season training and the top 8-10 are the only ones putting in the effort. I'm talking TRYING TO GET BETTER. If the girls who are 18-25 on a roster want to get more ice time, the off season in any community is where they can put the time in and earn it. Most of the time if kids quit it isn't because of opportunity or a coach...it's because they don't love the game enough. Been there done that with one of my own. Some of the teams in the west tried a quasi JV schedule this winter. It wasn't good. Although it did give girls some ice time. I think if that was the road we are wanting to go down the 15U programs will be eliminated. Probably the best case scenario for the state of girls hockey in ND is a 2 class system. Do away with the small town 19U and large town 15U and do a AA and an A. We all know that'll never happen however.

    East votes for a SR athlete. West votes for a SR athlete. This year the West tied, so there are 3 total. Seeley got more votes than Abrahamson. Which brings up another point. I don't think they're supposed to be doing EDC and WDA awards for girls hockey anymore since it's a statewide league.
  22. Johnny Five
    She's already committed, I don't think she's worried about D1 hockey. Here's the thing with girls hockey recruiting. D1 coaches aren't coming to hockey games in ND and don't care about these awards for ND girls. I'm guessing very few D1 coaches have been to a game IN Warroad either, by comparison. In fact a MN AA girls coach once told me there's rarely a scout at their games. Girls who want to play D1 hockey know they have to try get to National Camp through HP...play Team ND and get looked at during Nationals...and try to get into prospect camps like OS in Minneapolis in the summertime which is loaded with D1 coaches. The ND HS season means next to nothing to D1 coaches. If I had to guess, Abrahamson may have had some D1 offers out east, and chose to play for a good program in a great league closer to home. Maybe I'm wrong on that, and I certainly could be, but the label doesn't mean the same to everyone.

    Seeley has a much better team in front of her this year than Ackerman or Sorlie(thanks captain obvious). WF ain't the one seed without Seeley either. Abrahamson had 45 ginos herself, same as Minot and 15 more than Jamestown...lol. I think all 3 goalies are deserving to be in the final 3. However, Abrahamson should definitely be a finalist, especially for leading DL to a state tournament birth. Best player in the state...IMO...is Fischer from N/S. Will she be in ND next year? Who knows.

    I believe Wed and Thursday for girls MN State tournament are free at: https://kstp.com/45tv/prep45/mshsl-tournaments/ Warroad v Hermantown at 8 pm tonight.

    Not as many girls hockey players in Bismarck, Fargo, WF etc as one would imagine. Neither of the 3 schools in Bismarck would be able to field a hockey team if it weren't for CO-OPs. The biggest thing is now, girls hockey is a participation sport. Fargo North may have a tryout or cut here or there, but nobody else does. If you can tie your skates your on a team. To me, that's not great for the sport. That being said, HS is all about participation, so I guess that's the point.
