    WDA crowds in Bismarck this year and 2 years ago have been fantastic. The Mandan-Legacy game was as good a crowd I've seen in a long time, and both teams delivered a great game. Wish more fans would show up for regular season games too, place is an empty desert. Bismarck dropped the ball a couple years ago by voting down a half cent sales tax which included a bowl arena.

    When it comes to the hockey in the state of ND and the history of the East against the West, I think we can....I do know this because I've coached against these Dickinson kids, pack a lunch....they leave it all on the ice.

    Grand forks wouldn’t allow it. And who knows why GF or EGF wouldn’t allow a coop with Sacred Heart. Perhaps it’s the old…”opens up a can of worms for other sports” excuse.

    That I get. However if GF had Kilgore 2 years ago I'm guessing some of those would've stayed in GF too. One thing the girls on the border in the East have over the West....options. I do believe there's been some Mayville area girls. Good players too.

    Girls matchups: Century & WF: WF won both 7-0 and 4-3. Grand Forks & Davies: Davies won 3-2 and 4-1. North/South & DL: N/S won 7-3 and 3=2. Legacy/Bismarck & Mandan: Mandan won 3-2 & tied 3-3 (Legacy won shootout).

    Minot took North to OT not too long ago. Was their 3rd game in 3 days too. Could be a good game. Would be nice to see 4 good games and I think it can happen if the right teams show up from the west side. Gotta get over the stigma of being the dog.... I think Minot and North is only matchup that has played this year. GFC and Legacy got canceled twice.

    Last day for girls regular season. Legacy-Bismarck clinched a spot with an impressive 1-0 win in Devils Lake. Williston and CHS tied in points. Williston has the tiebreaker advantage. CHS plays DL today and they need at a minimum a point to jump Willison, so either an outright W or get to OT. Huge game.

    Roseau upset Moorhead in girls hockey to get to state out of 8AA as well. Pretty sure Roseau is the only team between the 4 teams (including Warroad, Moorhead and Crookston) from the title games that doesn't have ND girls.
  11. Johnny Five
    Bad bug going though CHS locker room at the moment. Not too discredit the Braves they played their asses off.

    Congrats to Devil's Lake and Abrahamson, Olson and the entire team for punching their ticket to the Girls state tournament. If my math is correct (and I hate math)....Minot, Jamestown and Dickinson are mathematically eliminated from the state tournament on the girls side. Legacy-Bismarck, Century and Williston will battle for the last 2 spots. L/B has 23 points. Century 22. Williston 21. Willy has dickinson left. L/B and CHS have DL and Davies...going to come down to the last day if Williston holds on to beat Dickinson Friday.

    I think you could still get away with Rube's proposal...just one bye in the east and 2 in the west. Now how that gets bracketed, who knows. Worst part about girls hockey is lack of non conference games. I think most teams had 2 this year. Next year 1, no 6 point games. Hard to take chances and groom kids when every game has a state implication and no wda/edc.
  14. Johnny Five
    I think there's 7 west and 5 east but I like the concept.

    Girls action tonight: every bubble team in action: mandan at minot. Minot needs. Win. legacy at Williston both need a win. Devils lake at Jamestown. Both need a win. Dickinson at CHS. Both need a win. essentially a state tournament night.
  16. Johnny Five
    I'm guessing if Bismarck could host 3 boys and 2 girls, WF could do the same. The youth programs mirror each other pretty closely. Does it thin out the heard? Yes. As you can see for the second year in a row both Bismarck girls teams will need to rally to make state. CHS and LHS remain competitive in boys and I believe if they stick it out on the south end the program will bounce back. Hardest thing to understand for all of us who are competitive is HS sports are designed for participation first. Winning is secondary, or even further down. Once one gets to that point it makes it a little easier to swallow.

    Rumors of everyone quitting and the program folding.

    Wily 3-0 over the Demons after 1.

    Bottineau says they aren't allowed to broadcast their feed tonight due to NDHSAA rights. Not sure how Williston is able too but glad they are, gives us something to watch.
  20. Johnny Five
    Minot had the home ice 11 am game last year as well.
  21. Johnny Five
    Monday WDA watching (unless PSP goes up there)... Hazen at Bottineau: https://www.youtube.com/@BravesHockey Bottineau usually has their games here. No sounds, so it's weird, but it's a decent feed. BHS at Williston: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095364830211 Good facebook page that has popped up for live events, with announcers. Wish more schools would do this. 7 PM puck drop. Besides saying "travel" am I the only one that finds it odd the WDA and EDC have different formats? They do this in other sports as well. Seems strange....

    Going to fun to follow Seeley to Concordia. I saw Ackerman just committed to Minot State and Sorlie is going to Arizona acha I believe. Good stuff… final week of girls regular season. The bottom 6-8 is an absolute dog fight. There’s so many possibilities it’s impossible to make up. I think Dickinson is the only team that doesn’t have a mathematical chance to qualify… Minot came out of nowhere to put themselves right there. Both Bismarck teams are gonna need points this week. DL, Jamestown Williston all right there…gong show. Edit: I lied Dickinson is still mathematically in it with 3 games this week. They took 6 points off Davies yesterday.
  23. Johnny Five
    I was bored. And I just "quoted" myself. Seems like a violation of sorts... Only 5 games have ended in run time this year in girls hockey. 4 of them have involved Dickinson, who is currently in the final spot in the standings...and 2 of those included Abrahamson lighting up the scoreboard. That's a pretty wild stat IMO. The depth of the state has drastically improved in the last 10 years there's no question.
  24. Johnny Five
    I can see that for a number of reasons. First being the parity in the league. The gap has definitely closed from 12 to 1. Id be curious to see how many run time games there were this year. It has to be very few. good for nd hockey overall but not good enough from keeping high end talent in state unfortunately. I watched Warroad v Lakeville on hockey day and it’s just a huge difference.

    We can do it here for no charge lol
