This will be the worst attendance and atmosphere in years. And to "noiseinsidemyheads" point about the product...not happening. Some of the top players continue to head east, Bismarck splits, changes to fargo co-ops....it has been a diminishing product for the past few years that now is extremely watered down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have our best player from Jamestown going to Warroad her senior year. The product has been going downhill for some time now. Wasn’t like that 10-15 years ago. And I agree the atmosphere is going to suck at state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, one or 2 of the varsity hockey teams may be asked to practice during the school day next year. They'll get a PE credit! Hey screw algebra, chemistry, or english I have hockey practice! It's like being at Shattuck I recon. Bismarck ice arena update.... sure seems not even a blade of grass or a tablespoon of dirt has been moved for this project, nor has anything including regular maintenance happened inside the current facility to indicate the internal improvements will happen. Rumor is: School system and park board are waiting on the rumors of someone putting up a private ice facility so they can back out of spending the money on the 3rd sheet at VFW... (which is a terrible plan, forced into a terrible swamp of a location anyway) What was promised as one season of really bad ice availability is going to stretch out years longer. (Many have been vocal implying this was the intention all along....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 So you're saying Mandan's Starion complex might be the best ice in Bis/Man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wachter arena is nice, but schaumberg isnt all that great and cant be used at all in spring summer or fall, but they don't use wachter in the summer enough either, they for some reason they use VFW2... which is embarrassing and makes no sense cause its hot as hell and the ice is slush plus the ice plant system in Wachter is a complete lemon, which is what you get when they go with the bottom of the barrel Pamida special. Mandans Starion complex is without a doubt the best facility in the Bismarck/Mandan area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute dumpster fire of a rink that should be used for nothing more than termites, mites, in house squirt games, practices and figure skating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeLove Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I am very optimistic about the NDHSAA girls tournament in Minot. Those guys and gals put on a great tournament! I predict it will be the only NDHSAA hockey tournament ever that stays on schedule. Growing and supporting female hockey is a passion for me. Sadly, most people who talk about it the loudest really mean “make it the best it can be FOR ME so I can leave at the first chance I get” The prevalence of female players leaving will increase and it it makes me sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this year's edition, the championship game went 2OT, and the 3rd and 5th place games each went OT, as did a consolation match. What's the correlation between the girls' game and being on-time again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was talking to a head coach a while back and he said that the development/coaching at the B level of the youth programs is of critical importance now more than ever because you just go on the assumption that your top end kids could leave or are getting offers.

Nobody will question Minot pulling this off. We all know they’ll hammer it. Nothing they can do about attendance and atmosphere, however. There will be much less crossover boys fans and casual fans. One school to pull from instead of 3 in the host site. it’s great they get their own spotlight, unfortunately it’s just the reality of where girls hockey is at in ND. Throw it up against WDA hoops which is a massive draw in the west…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 For the girls tournament, the Mandan Starion complex, seems more than adequate. https://starionsportscomplex.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen4sioux Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Hearing more dysfunction in the dumpster fire of Bismarck high school hockey. St. Marys BOYS hockey players are now suddenly forced to play at Bismarck High going forward, instead of the district in which they live as was the case in the past. Stripping more current and future players from Century, and none from Legacy... Now the co-ops are BOYS: BHS-St. Marys / Century / Legacy GIRLS: BHS-Legacy / Century-St. Marys Sounds like this was all done very much under the table and those effected were not involved and are not happy about it.

So in boys, Century will coop with Legacy yet the girls will coop with St Mary’s. That’s messed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
