How dare he move
It's really telling the communities they move to to form their little super teams tho, isn't it? Safe, low crime, other variables. What do they have something against East St. Paul or Richfield or South Minneapolis or something? 🤔

Suburbs are appealing to live in. More at 11.

You mean areas that don't really have hockey programs? Seems like it would be a wise decision to move to those locations to try to further your hockey career. They could also move to the Middle East.

But diversity is our greatest strength, and we've got more of it than anywhere in the Cities proper. And believe it or not, there are still programs in the Cities proper.

I see no snarky replies to my last post. Good. Because I see a lot of hypocrisy from some people these days and really gets to me.


Back on the topic of high school hockey, I'd like to dig into some old sections if at all possible. Are there any sites online that would have old MN HS hockey sectional tournament brackets? I would love to dig in to some of them.

What more do you want us to say?

Not to mention, it comes across as kinda racist...

No it doesn't. 😂 It's pointing out hypocrisy is all it is doing.

Seriously though, aside from buying old sectional programs which I'm sure are hard to find, are there any sites that have old section brackets?
Yes, it does. There's no hypocrisy.

I’m sorry old hockey programs are dying/have died. I’m sure the old Blockbuster CEO would like to still be in business too. The world evolves and some things get left behind.

You're free to that view. Just don't tell me that city programs and first ring suburb programs going away is "progress" or "evolving".

So, unless I'm missing some underlying point, I'm pretty sure the gist of what you're saying is that you want Richfield to be good again, and for Chanhassen to not have a hockey program?

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what options kids have if their high school isn't able to field a varsity team this year? My kids team has had dwindling numbers over the last few years, and currently have about 25 kids total for varsity and JV right now. Next year is looking worse. Are we stuck playing Jr Gold or can we try out for a different HS team that is close to us? I've tried to find info in the MSHSL handbook, but I'm not seeing much pertaining to an issue like this.

You can send your kid to another high school. There’s certain things around that but it’s possible.

Is there a chance he would be able to still go to his same high school, but play for a different school if his HS doesn't have enough for a varsity team? Or would he need to be enrolled in the school that he is playing at?

I would probably contact the school's Athletic Director, they would probably have all the relevant info or at least a start that's directly applicable to your situation.

Usually they have to be enlisted at the high school to play. I believe they are a few exceptions.
