Put that same crowd at Scheels and you have a great atmosphere. The ice is pretty much the same. Expand The Ralph does a way better job and the facilities are better, the girls aren't relegated to the "Nobody gives a !@#$" rink... Fargo is just an awefull high school hockey experience in and outside the rink and town. 2 Quote

Johnny Five Posted February 23, 2024 Posted February 23, 2024 atmosphere for girls games at the FU has been electric. 100x better than Minot last year. Loud and exciting. almost wrong to move them to scheels. It’ll be a snoozer for atmosphere. 1 Quote

Definitely not a #$%! hole. 1 Quote
Johnny Five Posted February 23, 2024 Posted February 23, 2024 My daughter told me the locker room situation at Maysa wasn’t ideal last years. Locker rooms with adjoining bathrooms and showers. Kinda odd why state is better east and why WDA is better in Bismarck. More teams and schools bring more casual fans. Minot on too big of an island… Quote
gfhockey Posted February 23, 2024 Posted February 23, 2024 The locker room situation at Maysa doesn’t even compare to the Ralph or scheels. it’s about the student athlete expierence Quote

Tell me you're from Fargo without telling me you're from Fargo. On the boys side Minot is less than a 2-hour drive for 8 of the teams in the state (including Minot). Fargo appears to be 9 if you include Mayville, Grand Forks 10, Bismarck 8. On the girls side Minot 5, Fargo 5, Grand Forks 5, and Bismarck 5. Not saying it's the ideal location for state but just couldn't help myself pointing out that silly argument. 1 Quote
