OT: MN High School Hockey Thread

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Just goes to show you, all it takes is 2 or 3 D1-bound players on a high school team (with just enough competent surrounding pieces) to make them relevant. D1-bound goalie and defenseman who never comes off the ice, with a few other solid grinders and you are almost there.
 
And another inner-city school is ranked #1 in AA state overall: Cretin.

I wonder where their roster is pulling from this year and if any of them live within the City proper.
 
Yeah I still advocate the privates have separate rankings/tournament - or some sort of new tournament where the winners of A, AA and private meet after they win their respective tournaments. Never gonna happen though.

PrepSpotlight. The link below is to the Cretin v Rosemount game tonight, but there are several others.

(School Space Media)

It will have a bunch of section games. YouTube was used for several teams regular season games, but I believe there is something regarding section tournaments being run by the State where they reserve the broadcast/stream rights.
 
That is Prior Lake's first ever appearance. All the people fleeing the inner cities to places like PL and Andover and Orono are starting to show results in their hockey programs now. Have to imagine imaging these programs will be the relevant programs going forward (Chisago, North Branch, Lakeville etc) as still more people flee the Cities proper and first ring suburbs.

What crap? The "alleged" crap?

Alleged? How is a video "alleged"?
The known video sure puts the "alleged" note into more context and makes it hard to deny.

That school has a problem that needs fixing, and thus I cannot root for that school.
I have relatives that are alumni of that school and they're disgusted about it themselves!

Really? At my inner city school kids were brutally, horribly beaten after a high profile court verdict years ago for the color of their skin. And the news didn't make a peep about it and people didn't demand that this community change or state they wouldn't root for it.

So I am sorry if some young, dumb kids did stuff that was offensive but there were kids getting brutalized in my community and no one was outraged. I guess that is the way priorities are today in the land.

You're not the only one to grow up in the cities here you know.

Also, times have changed greatly, just because injustices didn't get attention in the past doesn't mean they should continue now.

I'm sorry if my opinion on the matter bugs you, but I stated my position on why I personally can't root for that school right now. I'm sure they won't be affected by that fact at all anyway.
