MafiaMan Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 No they don't and I think that the NDHSAA needs to look at breaking this up. This team is basically an all star team. Dear NDHSAA, Waaaah! Bismarck doesn't have more than one girls hockey team? That's not fair! This needs to change.

Walsh Hall Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 In looking at the past girl's champs, and the past records, it doesn't look like Bismarck has been overly dominant. It is surprising that GF, with only one team, hasn't been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, Grand Forks Girls Hockey Let me preface: I don't have kids or any affiliation with HS/youth Hockey I read this before your next post and immediately said that person is from Bismarck. I only asked the question because it seemed rediculous that with how popular hockey is in Bismarck, there is only one team with 5 high schools.

Only 11 teams. Get a 12th team and you could possibly have an east and west region tourney. It's about one team dominating or not. Grow the sport.

My original comment wasn't directed specifically at you - my apologies if it was taken that way. Just found it funny that the conglomerates of Fargo and Grand Forks are upset at a western program that's apparently too big for Its own britches.

Bismarck's roster isn't broken out like that. https://sites.google.com/a/bismarckschools.org/bismarck-blizzard-girls-hockey/roster Here's Fargo North/South/Shanley's: https://sites.google.com/a/fargoschools.org/fargo-north-girls-hockey/roster With a combined 10-12 enrollment of 1707, it'd be tough to get another 30 girls to play.

nhockey30 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm sure if they included 9th graders in Bismarck they could very easily have 2 girls teams. I agree with Sioux Rube, that it is about growing the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is surprising that GF, with only one team, hasn't been better. I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of the players on Grand Forks' team are from Red River. If Central could field a team, it would. But the reality is that the way the high school district boundary is drawn in Grand Forks makes it a challenge for Central to be competitive in a lot of sports, particularly on the girls side.

sioux rube Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 A couple of WF's better players are Fr. I coached the girls team in Jamestown for 4 years. My first year was mostly 9th and 8th graders and made state. Last 2 years I had 12 players and we managed to take 5th and 4th at state. With our success the youth program in town is now thriving.

sioux rube Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Bismarck up 2-1 after 2. Scored with 20 seconds to go in period on a 3 on 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhockey30 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah and the 19U team in Bismarck is very strong and I believe they would probably be top 5 in the high school state this year. I believe the time has come. But without pressure from Fargo, Grand Forks, WF and the likes, I don't know if it will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
