Doesn't Sacred Heart co-op with Crookston now? I don't know how many boys from Sacred Heart actually play, but I believe there have been several on the girls side in recent years.

The key is this would get the Grand Forks chosen kids to play AA hockey in Minnesota Welch still living in Grand Forks

Catholic school ain't for everyone.

Wouldn't necessarily stop kids from Crookston from enrolling in Sacred Heart either.  

Would be an interesting development, that's for sure.

If EGF said "f it" and went AA hockey would kids from ND move across the river?

West side. Very close to the parent group that was advocating for it last year.

I believe you are correct about the Co-op.  EGF didn't want to Co-op and take opportunities away from their students.  SH should have just told them if we can't Co-op we will just start your own team and be AA.  I'm not sure how many EGF, GFC, and GFRR parents would pay for there kids to play AA Minnesota hockey, but I'm guessing with the amount parents pay for Hockey already they could make it work.

But the kids from ctown would have to beat out the gf kids for a spot

I've heard this tale for over a decade. 

Closest it's come is when UND D Ethan Frisch would catch a daily mass on the east side and chat with his old priest from Moorhead (Msgr. Mike Foltz).

Well the person I'm referring to has a kid that is playing Mite hockey. Of course it isn't going to happen with a parent group that already has kids in bantams.

Now that’s some real heat! Planning something to happen for 6-8 years down the road.

Wants to get the program established before his son is playing there of course.  The first years will be hard. I seriously think it will happen in the next 4 years.

This idea sums up many drunk conversations between bantam & pee wee AA parents in Grand Forks who don’t like the competition in ND.

This convo has happened so many times.... It's usually in the Lobby right before the desk gal says "final warning or I'm calling the cops."

It’s just that yours are wrong the majority of the time, and they surprisingly are right when the news comes out elsewhere before.
