I believe it’s the guy who owns Hoist hockey in Fargo 

This is correct.  I'd bet it ends up in court if it's not approved.

Money is not a problem with him either

What is the background there?

Owner of Hoist hockey in South Fargo, it is a hockey training facility with all kinds of toys.  Believe his kids play in the Angels Program.  Rumor has it he is taking over the H.A. Thompson rink in North Fargo, and the Bizen will play games there, as they currently play in Moorhead.

I'd imagine if he got a Tier 1 team they'd play out of that arena as well.

The second crappiest rink in Fargo behind Angels Arena.  Not the best recruiting tool.

Kids who have left ND to play in MN or elsewhere shouldn't be allowed to represent ND at these camps.

I agree with your main point.  Go to Warroad, Moorhead (girls side)...that's where you tryout.  Hockey academies as well, but that's a little tougher to manage I think.

Pretty cool for Kenleigh Fischer to make the U18 National Camp.  That has to be fairly rare for ND.  I've been paying closer attention to girls HS hockey for maybe 4-5 years and she's the first I can remember.  Hope she sticks it out in ND through her senior season. 

Sidebar: how much of this is just an epic money grab?  I clicked on one of the camps and I think it was $750 freaking dollars just to participate.

Weeks later, Tier 1 team doesn't happen.  Wonder what the next steps are. 

The better players will leave the state for better competition as they have previously.

Big mistake not approving it in my opinion.

They always will they have to... the USHL NAHL drafts are a big glaring spotlight as to how much respect North Dakota High School hockey has in the eyes the hockey world.

And NDHSAA has and is signaling as always.... We Don't Care.

The message is clear GET OUT OF NORTH DAKOTA as soon as possible.

Avery Hovland from West Fargo commits to Gopher Women's hockey.  She played in the WF youth system, for Team ND, and this past year headed out to NAHA on the east coast.  Pretty wild....
