Looked like most of the high end were at NIT this weekend in Jamestown so not sure on that.

Any rosters for the tryouts or the team?

[Johnny Five]

Not sure if the rosters are public, but through the rumor mill most of the "big boys" in the state are there and a few "thanks for coming to tryout" were included.  There may have been some who were invited but declined due to spring sports or what have you.  Not sure if any have declined due to Juniors for example Sproule, Reynolds Boren, Lang and those types are allegedly there.

Goalies there:  Swanson, Astrup, Diedrich, Washburn, Leingang, Miller.

Not according to my source, which is one of the kids there.  He said 6 goalies there.

Noel lives in Moorhead but attends school at Shanley so he's on the wrong side of the river for Team ND activities.  He shared goaltending duties with the Spuds Weigel in the Elite league last fall for their team.

Well that explains everything. Thanks.

The CCM NIT team will be a darn good team this year, and likely next as well. Lots of scoring ability and solid D. 

I believe they've won the thing for the last 2 years and I'd expect them to compete quite well again.

A little late on this, but how was attendance and atmosphere for the girls’ tournament in Minot?

Pretty much meh as we expected.  Obviously once the puck dropped the girls still got after it....

Minot was in the Semis against Davies and that crowd was great.  3rd place Minot v Legacy was OK.  Other than that, it was like a youth hockey game unfortunately.  Not ripping Minot or the facility, they did a great job and the venue was perfect.  It's unfortunate that North Davies title game wasn't played in front of 4K fans at Scheels arena because that game deserved it.  

Apparently, next year they are going to attempt it at WF Sports Arena?  Brutal.  I do think if they are gonna keep boys and girls separate Fargo is the place to have it since they can draw from 3 fan bases in the metro.

Talked to his dad after the championship game and he really hasn't heard from teams yet, but I can't imagine he doesn't end up at least in the NAHL.

I believe Selkirk in the MJ own his rights north of the border and I believe the NAHL is his dream for his next step, so I imagine he will be "camping" this summer.

Mostly spot on, couple eyebrow raisers, maybe a shocker even, but all these kids had good years.

Well onto MN state tourney.  Gotta pull for the spuds and warriors for those in the cities who think northern mn is st cloud.  Would’ve been fun to see Bentz back with the Spuds this season (thought they lost a couple others too).  Would be nice to see  Moorhead break through sometime.

Too lazy to look for myself:

MN HS hockey playoff anywhere on Midco?

For me this was the correct answer. Thank you. 

Warroad was eye-opening to watch in the third period last night.

Spuds at 1 pm. 

[Blackheart]

Northfield vs Orono was a fantastic game last night with Orono getting the game winner at the end of OT.

I'm amazed there weren't more Red River kids on the list.  I thought they could have 5 or 6 honestly.

Grand Forks is the "east coast" of the state. 

Anti east-coast bias.

Some of that is just laughable.  Not trying to rip on the kids who made it but there’s definitely some who deserved better.
