Gillan's site is great but It would be great for the state to complete records and hhave that history and culture. They have all the bb info - go figure 🤣 2 Quote

People probably forget about a guy like Mike Shauer from Demons too - went on to D3 and was really good - lot of good players in the west for several years prior and after that played decent hockey after HS 1 Quote

I always recall hearing Peluso's linemate had 98 points and he had 99 which is why I ask. How many points did Phillion have that year, and was he a SR? Demons - family moved after Fr. year Phillion was a Jr. - don’t know what he had for pts. they season but stayed his Sr. Year before going to USHL - Peluso went after his Jr. year - they are the same age Quote

Alleged story...he went to pre-season Captains practice at UND. Before the ol' world wide web...nobody knew who he was and just figured it was someone Blais told to show up. Real practices start and Blais is like "who the hell is this kid?" lol.... Irey family that came through Bismarck also with massive Bottineau connections. Eventually at Minot State during the early years along with several Lumberjacks which some of playing at UMC when they went D3 - Scotty Oliver was the coach at UMC - what a character 🤣 he and his successor Gary Warren - certainly cut from the same cloth Quote

Johnny Five Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago They've been standing with pitchforks for this job for years over there. Should've let the man resign with grace after the season. Been there since Day 1...perfect time to cut the cord on 2 programs in WF. Quote

I'm certainly not saying that's what happened here but asking the question if that was the scenario as it usually is...... is repulsive? Quote

By the comments on the story, it sure seems like this sentiment is by far the most prevalent. What I questioned about it is a highly probable and most likely the scenario here. Kids don't get their way, Mommy and Daddy will get the bad man in trouble. Why would anybody want to coach in this everybody gets a trophy, and every kid is the winner, soft AF helicopter parents era of every kid is the most special being in existence that can never do anything wrong? No thank you. Never again. Quote
