UND99 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Imagine how great the Minot/Red River matchup would have been if Morelli & Schoenborn and Benson & Christian were all still playing high school. Quote
gfhockey Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Ask a lot of players over the years from Minot about that. We were tied with Central 1-1 in the third period when they had a little freshman named Phil in the net. Two turnovers.....two goals. We choked too. Long time coming for Minot. phil wouldn't have been a freshman in 2005. Quote
Wilbur Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 phil wouldn't have been a freshman in 2005. Nope he wouldn't have been. It was back in the year 2000. I wasn't on that really good Minot team. I was saying that the 2005 team isn't the only team that choked. We choked as well. Quote
gfhockey Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 what has happened is some ring leaders in town made the supras and blues quit they want it all park board this is the effects Quote
sioux rube Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Would love to see a rematch of the 92' final between Minot and Bismarck. That was a barn burner with Minot winning 8-7. 1 Quote

82SiouxGuy Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 what has happened is some ring leaders in town made the supras and blues quit they want it all park board this is the effects Didn't USA Hockey decide that they only wanted 1 affiliate in town? They didn't want to keep dealing with multiple groups in different towns. Being affiliated with USA Hockey is pretty important. I'm pretty sure that's why they put all of hockey under the Park Board.

It had nothing to do with the Blues/Supras...that just happened 2 years ago now. The reason they shut the doors was because of USA Hockey rules and couldn't get insurance. It's an ok thing though...the Blues had 1 team per age and the Supras had 2 teams, not enough for everyone. RR is down this year and The west just has some players but like someone said if Christian and Benson were there it would have been different but that's all over....Fargo's missing Mari and at least 4-5 others. Bismarck will be hard to beat as they've got a Mandan kid and Dickinson kid they imported plus maybe 8 seniors. Kids are leaving. Hard to believe Johnson lasted until his senior year. Quote

Bismarck also has a kid from Colorado who stayed in town after being cut from the Bobcats. Bismarck is getting to be the Warroad of North Dakota. Quote

Phil left after the '01 season (his soph year) for Lincoln ..... Quote
cberkas Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 That's what happened with the Mandan kid I think! He could have done what Theel did, from what I've been told Theel live in Century's District but his dad wanted him to play at Bismarck so enrolled him at Bismarck. Quote
Fighting Sioux 23 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Phil left after the '01 season (his soph year) for Lincoln ..... Wilbur already explained. He was talking in general about how Minot has choked over the years, and you could ask a lot of players from a lot of different Minot teams about choking. Then, he went into his personal experience from 2000 when Minot was playing Central with Phil as their goalie (and Wilbur as Minot's goalie, IIRC). I'm very happy for Minot. Hopefully they can keep the magic alive for at least one more night. 1 Quote
sioux rube Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 That's what happened with the Mandan kid I think! Yep his name is Tre Kautzman. Played for Alexandria and wasn't getting enough ice time so quit. His uncle has a residence in Bismarck so that is how he is able to play for them since he couldn't go back to Mandan. Peluso has him playing more disciplined as he was in the box often for Mandan. He just happened to have a hatty last night. I coached a AAA summer team 8 years ago and 4 of the Minot kids were on it and 3 Bismarck kids. One reason I would love to see both teams in the championship game. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 My pick is central. Best player in the state and the best goalie. 2 Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Hard work and college payoff bud. And the south side of Grand Forks has a monopoly on those things? I don't think so. I was being a smart-mouth, which is one of my better skills. 1 Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Bismarck is getting to be the Warroad of North Dakota. By sand-bagging in Class A hockey when they should be in AA? But I thought North Dakota only had one class? Quote
Rory Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 By sand-bagging in Class A hockey when they should be in AA? But I thought North Dakota only had one class? I believe he is talking about recruiting which Warroad does often. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I believe he is talking about recruiting which Warroad does often. I heard that they changed the enrollment rules for students so that kids wouldn't transfer just to play on a particular team. A kid can transfer to a different school, but then are ineligible to play athletics for that school. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Quote
Rory Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Red River and Mandan tied in the third. WTF is with that? 1 Quote
Wilbur Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Phil left after the '01 season (his soph year) for Lincoln ..... This I know. Read post below yours. I was referring to the fact that a number of Minot teams have blown it over the years. Quote

Warroad gets kids and give a parent a job at Marvin Windows. Been going on for years. Quote

Hopefully they can keep the magic alive for at least one more night. Thanks for helping to explain. Yes, I got outplayed by a little French Canadian freshman named Phil.... On a side note, that was when the tournament was still at the old Ralph, and Central's student section was EPIC. Wish the crowds were close to what they used to be. Quote
Wilbur Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Red River and Mandan tied in the third. WTF is with that? Red River wins in OT I guess. Shots 63-11. Boy does that goaltender from Mandan have a bright future. Edit: 3-2 Final. Quote
