Cratter Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 From 1987 on Red River has 12, Central 5, South 3, and Grafton 3. And from 2002 on GFRR and GFC are tied for the same number of titles.. Gotta love stats! I can make them look anyways I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB#11 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Watched the game on TV last night, counted 6 kids whose father I had played hockey with in Grafton in the late 1970's. What a Great Tradition GPR has maintained...GO SPOILERS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDstatehockey Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 The only time they would have to turn people away is for the Grafton semi and final games. GPR in tourney equals money in the bank. proven stat The whole town of Grafton comes to the state hockey championship...i wouldn't be surprised if they break a record tonight for most people at high school hockey game in ND tonight.....go Spoilers!!! Grafton 3 - RR 0 after two goals from callahan and an empty netter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefortheteam Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Also article on G-PR win over Central 5-1. http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/194864 Looks like a rematch of 2009 championship. 09 was RRHS and Bismarck High Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grafton 3 - RR 0 after two goals from callahan and an empty netter I would love to see this, but don't think they will break the record of 9,000 people set back when the tournament was first started at the new Ralph. I think if they are lucky you will see about 4,000 people at the game. A three quarter full lower bowl would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was GFC against Grafton (I believe you also know this). A big reason that it was such a well attended game was it was an Olympics year and a lot of people came because they couldn't see the game live (I think it was tape delayed until like 11 pm or something like that).

tho0505 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 http://www.valleynewslive.com/Global/category.asp?C=205870 Link to the championship game. 3rd period RR 2 - GPR 0. RR playing sound hockey right now, getting control in their zone and dumping into GPR zone and eating up time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choyt3 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Good for #10 from GFRR, who didn't feel he had to dye his hair yellow. Their hair was dyed? I caught the handshake line and thought both teams had yellow helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tho0505 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Their hair was dyed? I caught the handshake line and thought both teams had yellow helmets. I thought the exact thing. Hair was exactly the same color as Graftons helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfhomer Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Their hair was dyed? I caught the handshake line and thought both teams had yellow helmets. Each year, the dyed hair kids remind me of the goofer teams in the past 3-5 years who do the same stuff. Ugly, ugly, ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Boombastic Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Red River has actually been doing it since the late 90's, I believe a couple grads (Irmen, Potulny) may have brought the tradition to Minneapolis. As ugly as the hair looks it is pretty cool that the tradition has lasted for 15 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Good for #10 from GFRR, who didn't feel he had to dye his hair yellow. I really like that Kid's game, he is solid... He looks more like a linebacker than a hockey player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Each year, the dyed hair kids remind me of the goofer teams in the past 3-5 years who do the same stuff. Ugly, ugly, ugly. I was sitting in food line at the Purpur Arena and one of the Red River kids was standing behind me with his blond hair so I asked him what he is going to do with his hair after hockey season is done.... The kid replied with, "Oh, ah, I will probably dye it back when the weekend is over." I agree I think it looks stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
