It's just sad. The extermination of rich hockey culture in these once-great communities. I'd have to imagine Jefferson and Kennedy will be combining soon?

The worst part is the complete apathy on the part of Minnesota hockey. They seem to not care and claim everything is alright because some 4th ring wealthy suburb has lots of people playing hockey . If any sport had programs dropping like this thereby would be trying to find solutions.

I also heard a rumor that Johnson might fold this year

I heard St. Paul Johnson was supposed to not have a team this year, but they did. I think they finished the season 2-21 or something like that. The area has just changed too much to expect their hockey program to be around much longer.

It saddens me to think Jefferson, Burnsville, AV among numerous other famous HS programs are going away. It's not right.

It's political, the reasons for this, so we can't discuss it here. It's really just sad.

The worst part is how it seems no one wants to step up and make it an issue. It’s seem minnesota hockey is perfectly content with these communities dying because they can get rich kids from Edina to give them 5000 for land dry training

Demographics change. People move, the Demographics of those playing hockey have moved to other communities. This isn't a problem if the state numbers of those playing hockey is healthy, and it is plenty healthy.

Cretin scores first!

Juicy rebound, Owens gets there first and buries it!

Maple Grove answers quickly off a defenders skate
 
You can see, Cretin is good, but Maple Grove is as well, Maple Grove is just a little bit more refined in their skill across the board that gives them an edge. Their passes just a bit more crisp, their stick handling just a bit more sure.

I could see an upset if Cretin gets a bit more puck luck, but watching them play, you'd have to bet on Maple Grove
 
Doesn't bother me which team wins this one... I'll be happy for whoever wins.
Next game though, gotta root for the Spuds over the cake eaters.

In the evening session, go skippers, and go defending champs... but if Lakeville south upsets Andover, I'll be happy for them and root for them in the Semis

I’ll take Cretin. My son played a lot of youth lacrosse with the Cretin kids.
