Fargo gets enough stuff they don't need the Hockey tournament. 9 out of 10 years at least one GF team will be in the championship game, making for better attendance. With the girls tournament starting on Wednesday and the Boy on Thursday every team gets a chance to play at the REA. After that if you lose any other site in town is fine as long as the winners side is in that the main arena at the REA. I like this plan the most. 2 Quote

Guessing capacity is the same or very close to Farmers Union Rink in Fargo. The ICON Rydell/Judd rinks are both nice but capacity is probably a little bit less on permanent seating. Not sure why they don't utilize the Purpur, that seats significantly more. No I haven't been there since I coached girls high school 10 years ago Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Something about having the state at one location instead of rotating Quote

Johnny Five Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Bantam AA state in GF the same weekend as HS state tournament as well...3 whole teams at least. Quote
Johnny Five Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Minot over Davies 8-5. Might be worth a re-watch on PSP. Quote

Although I'd love to see them go undefeated and win it all, I am going to guess they will drop 1 bad game in the reg season and lose to an EDC team at state 1st or 2nd round. Quote

Nothing ever surprises me with the magi. Like you said, they could go undefeated, but they could also bow out right away at the state tournament. As wide open as the EDC is this year they could be playing Red River, GFC, West Fargo High School in the first round of the state tournament if they don't win the WDA tournament this year. Minot has never won the ship when all eyes have been on them. Both times came when I least expected it. Quote

I see legit issues for Minot if they get into a real horse race with North, WF or Central, I think those teams have the chance to matchup with them best at this point. Still a grind it out month left but If a guy had a friendly wager on seeing a Central Minot final, I thinks he'd have as safe a bet as possible. Quote

Problem was Peluso didn't know about it until halfway back to Bismarck when his AD called and asked what happened at the end of the game. Had no idea lol. Quote
Johnny Five Posted Tuesday at 01:08 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:08 PM I'm gonna go with Minot running the table in the West. Because of the post season draught, maybe the sticks grip a little tight come WDA and their home ice. I just don't feel like anyone in the West can hold them to the 2 or less goals that'll be necessary to beat them. I'll still go with Minot and GFC in the 'ship. But the old adage remains....regular season for show, playoffs for dough. Like Dickinson last year by winning WDA, just need to be at your best come the end of February. Quote
