Bump it up, Time to get back into the swing of things. 

Lotta action tonight (Jan 3).  10 boys games and 3 girls.  On the boys side, CHS gets another crack at Minot.  South heading out to Mandan in what very well could be a 1st round state type of matchup in February.  Girls side, all 3 matchups should be good this evening.  Jamestown beat CHS early in the year, rivals WF and North/South, and Legacy-Bismarck v Minot is a massive 6 point game that'll have a huge affect on the standings come the end of the season.

Honoring Lindsay Vogel at tonight’s Blue Jay girls game. She was on the first ever girls high school team and was assistant coach for 5 years. Died unexpectedly after a short illness. I went to school with both her parents. Awesome family

Figured I’d just put this here since all of us in this pond tourney all played high school puck. I always look forward to it

Caught Willy this weekend in the capital city.  They actually…just played the game, nothing egregious.  
 

Speaking of Williston gotta tip the hat to their girls team.  They gave NS a heck of a game this weekend and beat WF.  They are in great shape to make the state tournament,  the final 6 weeks of the girls season is gonna be a brawl.  Besides Dickinson it appears any game could go either way.  Even DL…although they are thin they may have the best player in the state and another who is up there.  Regular season games are must win for some teams with no EDC/WDA or playin opportunity for state.  
 

boys side…GFC over North was sort of a surprise.  Davies looks to be finding something they gave red river a run and torched Minot 5-1.  
 

Big week of HS hockey coming up.

Wondering now that the girls have 12 teams that they couldn’t do a 6 team regional for the east and west. Say the top 2 teams get a bye and the bottom 4 play to see who would play the top 2 teams. Have the team with best record play at home then have remaining 4 teams from each conference have a 2 day regional at the top seeds rink. Have a little more incentive to win your regular season region. Just a thought

Yes she is.  Get to catch her in the fall with Team ND.  Very fun to watch, especially when it's a full team.  Unfortunately in DL they just don't have the numbers.  She must log about 35+ minutes a night and half the time in D zone has to "conserve energy".  But when she does get the puck, watch out.  She's relentless.  10 is an extremely good defenseman too.

I was thinking that this weekend.  There's not that many "blowouts" this season.  From what I've seen it's literally who shows up that day no matter which teams are on the ice.  The fight for the final 2 state spots will be a dog fight and the state tournament out of those 8 will quite literally be a toss up.  At a minimum it would  be nice to see some sort of play in system, but your idea sounds fantastic. 

Not a huge fan of the "6 point" games either.  There's some inequity there but it is what it is I guess.

The Davies sophs took a few games to figure out their roles on the team and their new coach.

They're now contributing to the successes of the team.

4 From Thompson, 4 From Northwood. The rest are MayPort kids.  I always find  it funny that this gets laughed at. You don't think Devils Lake, Jamestown, Grafton etc...are pulling kids from other school district's? At the end of the day, kids that want to play HS hockey are getting a chance.

I'm not laughing at it; I'm trying to get folks to understand the reach and commitment some of these programs take. 

Heck, I can drive to Clifford without a map or GPS. Who else can?
