3 UND D-men played in the same NHL game today. Forbort and Tucker Poolman's Jets lost to Wolanin's Senators. 2-1.
Looks like a good low scoring defensive game.

Does Bismarck have enough arenas for 3 high school teams?
No. Theres not nearly enough ice in Bismarck, not even close.
To add a nother high school Varsity, Jv, and a Jr Gold........
All of which the numbers are very much there for...could honestly field 2 Jr Gold teams...
Ice will be extreamly short. Add in a 2nd Girls team and it'll be 5ams, 10pms, and outdoor practices for youth hockey, thats not ideal for retention to say the least.
Bismarck needs more rinks but unfortunately its an "old man screams at clouds" and "i dont have kids in hockey, I'm not voting for a $20 yearly tax increase" type town.
Its basically a mess, great job has been done to get kids in hockey, but to retain them or develop a depth of talent has fallen woefully short.

That needs to happen. Otherwise, you've got a small school (Devils Lake) going up against, in effect, three large schools (Century, Legacy, and High; plus St. Mary's?), Even at that, Devils Lake (1-14) played Bismarck(13-2) to a one goal game last night. It would be nice to see a level playing field.
Again, and I cant believe this is such a difficult concept to understand.
Schools and school enrollment..... 5 schools 10 schools 50 schools....
DO. NOT. MATTER. In. Hockey.
Boys or Girls.
ONLY numbers of players in the youth program.
As of now and the past few years the numbers indicate a 2nd Bis Girls team would be mildly viable. The numbers coming up DO NOT, in most peoples opinion. Some are very adement they can pull it off...
But it will happen anyway. There will be another girls team in the future.

Legacy will have a team as well; maybe WF Horace too.
Within the next 2 years for both.

It would be nice to have two levels of HS hockey and place the teams based on skill level and not enrollment. But I doubt that is a road the NDHSAA would want to go down.
Yea, exactly. High school hockey level of play, can not be based on school enrollment, only on the youth program enrollment.

Last year my peewee A team here in Jamestown won the A state tourney. Played Minot and Fargo who were AA and split with them during the season. Told our scheduler to not schedule any AA teams this season. This year is a whole different story. We are 2-12 and only have 4 second year peewees on the team. Small towns like us can change from year to year real quick because of numbers
Good team last year, and definetly earned that title game win.
I agree and things can change quickly, even in bigger towns.
The AA concept is destroying PW hockey IMHO, and that opinion is being proved correct again this year.
AA for bantams yes, I get it and support it, AA for PW is stupidity, especially for towns that need to develop to feed multiple High schools.
Respect how GF does it, they have 2 balanced (usually balanced) teams playing their top level. Call it A call it AA, they just play. Good on them.
Hazen Buelah got beat 11-1 tonight and it wasn't that close. 0-15 outscoeed 121-18 on the season...
Credit to the coaches and parents for keeping it running but, thats got to be really difficult to keep kids interested in coming back night after night, year after year. The question is... would a more level chance in a tiered system help the program, and others?

If I'm the program coordinator at a place like Devils Lake, Grafton, Williston, etc. I've got my Bantam and Pee Wee A teams playing as many AA teams as possible. Play in the A conference if you want, and that state tournament, but I'd schedule the AA teams in the state as much as they'd play me.
I see that Hazen doesn't have a Bantam A team. For the best of the program, maybe? But if you're going to keep throwing the kids out there with Minot-Century-BHS-Jamestown as 10-12th graders before they get to high school might be a good time to try and get them up to speed for what its going to look like up there.
I coached for Wahpeton when they played ND, and our feeder teams all played B hockey. They finished okay in their B1 and B2 state tournaments in the youth level, but when they got up to the EDC and the high school ranks??? Yeah.....go to the high school website archives and look at the scores.
I'm all for two classes in the high school ranks. Would schools like Divide County, Langdon, and Watford City become high school sanctioned? Good question. At the same time it gives the opportunity for a school like Hazen to actually compete instead of going 0 for the season. And maybe Wahpeton comes back to ND at the A level.
Agreed, but due to pride, arrogance, or whatever, its pretty difficult to get the higher divisions to schedule them. The only other concern is the attrition through apathy aspect.
Tough to keep kids and parents wallets invested when getting housed all the time.
Few people see the long term benefit, unfortunately.

Devils Lake's Bantam A and Bantam B teams are currently 14-0 and 8-3, respectively, with both teams in first place. Hopefully, that will translate to the high school level, as their high school team has been down for 3 or 4 years.
And some good athletes on that team, a few who maybe could or should be playing high school, that team competes with a few of the AA teams, but in reality will it translate to high school or is the lifeling goal nothing more than to maybe possibly crack a 4th seed at state....
Time will tell, teams like that are kind of the example, or bellweather to watch as to what could or should happen as to structure of ND high school hockey...
Some good teams and competition for sure.

Nope....just AA and A.
Ill climb up on the soapbox again.
Has to happen.
Crazy how many people still resist the thinking here, but every year the proof just gets more and more compelling.
Some damn good competition in the the Bantam A league, and those teams would be mildly midpack to low if there wasnt a AA league.
It just has to progress to the high school level

$200 a fair price for a replica K1?
K1 "fair" value is just all over the board.
I see them going for 50-80 and then some topping 200... it just really matter of:
what version it is a replica of, dazzle, reebok, geometric....
Where it is being sold....ebay, thrift store, facebook...
But in the end the fair valuenis really only determined by what someone is willing to pay.
Personally I would sell K1s for 200 but wouldn't be a buyer at anything over 160.
Its crazy as different crowds will pay through the nose for crap, but balk at a decently fair price of a legit replica or authentic.

just for clarification, a replica brand like K1 is not what people also call a knock off? the replica is a licensed, copyrighted, legal item?
A replica is not a counterfeit.
Licensed replica jerseys from k1, reebok, ccm, Adidas.... nike, are common and quality is usually very good compared to the counterfeit, or knock off crap that floods the facebook, ebay, and amazon sites.

I believe they said they could increase technically but could not accomadte that numbe plus ensure 6 ft seperation among groups ao thats why it stayed at 3000.
Really could go up to about 7500-8000 now.

Well with current recommendations in place they could allow 5,000. They would have to put together a plan for the health department but I think it is currently 65% or 5000, whichever # is smaller

Still baffles me people think this !@#$ will sell.
Ohhhh they sell alright, take a lap around the ralph. Or spend a minute on the facebook groups.
In fact these things sell so well its actually harder to sell real jerseys for their value.

Remembered a certain Mismash injury from about two years ago, and Berry's comments then vs now, give this piece a read before offering feedback, needless to say the difference of opinion is Brad Berry's here. https://seamoresports.com/2021/01/20/und-mens-hockeys-conflicting-views-on-major-penalties-some-thoughts/
This article is straight hot-fire garbage. Your utter lack of hockey knowledge is once again displayed. Sticking a knee out to injure and making incidental protective contact after being pushed from behind is completely different.
Are you Chrona's mom?
The flailing dive was socceresque.
He deserves every bit of shot to the head he gave himself in his blatant attempt to increase a 2 min minor to a 5.
What a joke.

Another question. Does the team ALWAYS accompany the jersey with a LOA if auctioned by them? Reg season sets, not counting specialty warm up ones.
Would they sell one missing the neck tie lace?
Id defer this to those that purchase auction sweater more frequently, but i believe they always issue LOAs and some players just remove the lace so its entirely possible.

Does the team use multiple sets for regular season vs post season?
Trying to photo match a jersey that has pretty distinctive marks and struggling to find them in photos. Any gamer collectors who may know?
my understanding is one set of each color but a replacement is always a possibility. Always have some blank ready to issue if needed
Pretty rare that to see more than 1 of each player per color per year at auction or on the market.

I think it was the 2017 season Neal Pionk flattened Cam Johnson on a charging penalty in the NCHC championship and stayed in the game.
Watch the Mismash hit and the Pionk hit and tell me which guy deserved to get tossed.
EXACTLY the play I thought of when they went for review.

Tonight it looked like a team saying "We're going ro beat you and make it hurt the whole time."
Love it.

Id give 16 a 2 min penalty for being pushed into tendy.
Then id gove Chrona a 5 for diving and then a 5 for contact to the head for slamming his own bucket on the ice .
Piece of !@#$ theatrics.

Question for those who know. Are the 2010-2011 SIOUX Reeboks lettered with kiss cut or layered?
Sending into EPS soon and want them correct. Please and thanks! @Big A HG @BrandonH61
Kiss cut numbers i believe did appear on the shoulders of the reeboks but not until after 2011

What’s wrong with youth hockey
in Non-collegiate sports
Posted
If you think its just moms you are pushing a fools paradise.
Parents and the pursuit of vicariously won glory is #1.
Lots of problems, and its tougher to pick out the positives than ever before...
Bad coaches are still a major issue.
Lat weekend I watched a coach, a grown mature man.... taunt the kids on the other team like a drunken cheeleeder every time his team scored a goal, woooping and hollaring dancing, gesturing.
You'd have sworn he just got a tray of feee shots at his favorite blue oyster bar the way he carried on.
I may send the video to the twittersphere... It should ruin the mans coaching career but. it wont, cause winning is the most important thing to too many people.
Suffice it to say, youth sports are facing a multi-headed demon these days.
