2022-23 ND High School Hockey

[sioux rube]

Sheyenne finally breaks the ice with 21 seconds to go in the third. 1-0 

[RhettRingers]

Not a bad PxP guy WDAY has. A lot easier to listen to the Dom.

From my untrained eye Davies looks better than Legacy - by more than a little 

[siouxweet]

"The defending runner ups" haven't heard that reference to a 2nd place finisher before.

[SiouxFan100]

I thought there would be more scoring 

[Wilbur]

Afternoon into the evening session were both battles. A puck bounces the other way and its Minot and Legacy in the semifinals.

[sioux rube]

Century and South tied at 1 after 1. A bit surprising 

[Wilbur]

2-2 in the third.  Here we go....

[Wilbur]

3-2 South now.

That was a bad take.

[Wilbur]

Was at the Ralph today and three of the four games were pretty good contests.  Hats off to Legacy, Minot and Century for battling it out for the West Region.  Three one goal games where a bounce could of went the other way and you'd have a different outcome.

Things kind of setting up again for Red River-South part IV, but I guess you never know with the goaltenders from Sheyenne and Davies.

Aside from my Jays they were 3 entertaining games with Century surprising me. Those Vig boys are pretty good

The attendance...oof.  Hopefully it picks up quite a bit today

Obviously the weather had a lot to do with it but that last game last night it was a ghost town in there 

[Wilbur]

I think the attendance won't ever be what it once was.  I think it goes to show that the Pepsi rink in Minot could host the tournament.

It was the worst atmosphere imaginable for a very entertaining game.

The use of basically smooth jazz elevator Musak played at times made it feel quite clinic like.

This tournament should basically never be in the Ralph. It's not some special once in a lifetime deal for these kids to "play on the UND" ice.

At this stage they've all played here, been involved with camps and tournaments here. It's not special, it's not worth the vast emptyness and massively inflated costs to parents, spectators and NDHSAA.

Rotate the thing between Minot and Fargo.

We should just move all state tourneys to Fargo 

[UND1983]

Hockey seems to be dying in ND as a spectator sport.  Attendance is laughable at the state tournament compared to the basketballs.

[sioux rube]

Jays up 4-1 over Minot after 2. Shots 35-13 Minot. Walz playing well in the net once again 

[Wilbur]

I'm anxious to see attendance tonight, but if it's under 3,000 then I think the conversation needs to be had about not using REA.

Jamestown defeats Minot 4-2

Bismarck and Minot will fight tooth and nail against that (as they should). If you want western North Dakotans to take to the streets with torches and pitchforks, that would do it.

Grand Forks should get the original blueprints of the Old REA and build an arena based on them, just with more comfortable seating and state-of-the-art technology. This would be an almost perfect home for the State Hockey Tournament. It would also provide another ice sheet for teams looking for ice time, which seems to always be scarce.

I would definitely chip in some money to make it happen.

[gfhockey]

Wow this gfrr team is wow

[SiouxFan100]

Rr can turn it on and did

[Frozen4sioux]

Love the way GFRR plays away from the puck.
