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.

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.

Within the next 2 years for both.

Yea, exactly. High school hockey level of play, can not be based on school enrollment, only on the youth program enrollment.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Really could go up to about 7500-8000 now.

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.

Its the final straw for me on the year, cNceling the monthly subscription. It just isnt worth it. Timmy H is my spirit animal from here on out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kiss cut numbers i believe did appear on the shoulders of the reeboks but not until after 2011
