Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey III

OK, my fault, bad joke. Or at least too much of an inside joke to be expected to be taken that way. Sorry DC, of course you deserve an explanation.

I have nothing against Irondale. We've just been joking about their schedule all year long, me and mine privately, others more openly on the HS forum. Then when there is one 'cinderella' team that makes the tournament, with a sub-.500 record, out of the blue, considered to be a fluke, who should get the draw for that team but Irondale. Isn't that kind of funny? No?

Of course anybody can win this tournament, that's taken for granted. In fact, in the Edina Thanksgiving tournament, Irondale would have been a darkhorse alongside the likes of Edina, HM, and Hopkins, yet they won that one.

I don't know if the tourney has progressed to that point yet. The 2A is closer to that ideal than the 1A is, but I think there are still some teams that while maybe capable of winning any single game, really aren't deep/strong enough to string three straight. Hopefully, we see a good slate of games.:)

Click to expand...


Star Tribune All Metro Team
KALLIE BILLADEAU
Hopkins, goalie, senior
Billadeau, a first-team selection last season, got even stingier. She allowed two fewer goals (34) than last season and improved her save percentage almost 20 points (.954). Opponents scored more than one goal on Billadeau, a Syracuse recruit, in only eight of her 26 starts.

GINA MCDONALD
Irondale, forward, senior
A key cog in Irondale's past two state tournament teams, tallying a combined 83 goals and 73 assists during that span. Technically sound, McDonald elevated her game in the section playoffs, scoring two game-winning goals and assisting on another. Will play at Harvard next year.

CORINNE BUIE
Edina, forward, senior
Big, strong forward led Edina with 36 goals. Rarely separated from the puck. Providence recruit scored two goals in each of the Hornets' three section playoff victories. Carried over her scoring prowess from the soccer field, where she tallied 33 goals last fall.

BETHANY BRAUSEN
Roseville, forward, senior
A two-time captain and vocal leader, Brausen led the Raiders, ranked No. 1 in Class 2A for much of the season, with 33 goals and 64 points. The Gophers recruit tallied a hat trick in the playoffs against defending state champion Stillwater.

MILICA MCMILLEN
Breck, defense, sophomore
Contributed to the offense with 16 goals and a team-best 35 assists. Possessing a booming shot, McMillen does her part on the defensive end as well. Breck allowed three or more goals in only four games. Named to the all-tournament team at state as an eighth-grader.

ROSIE ALLEVA
Red Wing, defense, senior
Princeton recruit is a smooth skater with keen offensive instincts. Hard worker whose dead-eye shot stems from daily 5 a.m. shooting practice. Scored 31 goals and 26 assists. Rarely leaves the ice.


SECOND TEAM
Forwards
Hannah Brant, Hill-Murray, soph., 42 G, 36 A-78 pts.
Meghan Lorence, Irondale, junior, 46-36-82
Rachel Ramsey, Minnetonka, junior, 22-23-45
Defensemen

Audrey Hanmer, Forest Lake, junior, 17-18-35
Goalie
Marah Sobczak, Stillwater, senior, .914 save pct.

THIRD TEAM
Forwards
Rachael Bona, Coon Rapids, junior, 33-21-54
Jordyn Burns, Benilde-St. Margaret's, junior, 31-21-52
Amanda Colin, Burnsville, senior, 40-27-67 - Quinnipiac
Hillary Crowe, Blake, junior, 35-48-83
Defensemen
Laurel Miller, Totino-Grace, senior 16-23-39 - Wisconsin

Forgive me for trespassing again, and thanks for the explanations and defense!

One of the reasons I read these threads that may appear to be irrelevant to us folk from Cow Hampshire is because inevitably, in the course of 40 or 50 NCAA games I see during a season, and the 6 - 8 U-18 or U-19 tourneys I go to, (including Chowder Cup, where I met and watched some of the All Metro Team) I either have seen or will see these players.

I just find that a little background makes it all more enjoyable.

It is difficult to tell a joke, sarcasm... from the outside in these forums, but if you use one of those roll eye faces, it helps:) I think the reason the comments struck me as harsh stem more from the fact that the players are not responsible for where they are seeded, but the comment seemed to be blaming or insulting them.

Thanks, I get the joke now:o

Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey III

As most in MN know 3500 or so girls play HS hockey while the rest of the country has U19AAA and USA Hockey. MN does have 3 U19AAA teams sanctioned by MN Hockey/USA Hockey the MN Throughbreds in the Twin Cites made up of talented grisl from the metro and W Wisconisn looking to develop their hockey skills they played in the JWHL this season and had a good year; Shattuck St Mary's big commitment by famalies players to develop their hockey skills some from MN but +90% aren't very successful placement/concentration of D1 players; and MN Crunch which is a HS post grad team only in Grand Rapdis, MN - a few MN players but most/many are from surrounding States, only two years old and has limited success developing College Players but made big strides forward in year two - not sure the single year model can work but who knows. They play each other at the MN State U19AAA Tournament March 5-7. Below is a schedule of games - it would appear that if Thoroughbreds and SSM both beat Crunch it would be a single game to determine who represents MN at Nationals. Not sure what year Thoroughbreds last beat SSM to represent MN? Good hockey worth catching.

2010 MINNESOTA HOCKEY
GIRLS 19 & UNDER A PLAYOFF
MARCH 5, 6 AND 7, 2010

Teams: Minnesota Crunch, Minnesota Thoroughbreds, Shattuck St. Mary’s

Location: Wakota Arena, 141 6th Street South, South St. Paul, MN (651) 554-3330

First team listed is home team and will wear dark jerseys. Team with the best record advances to USA Hockey National Championships.

Friday, 3/5/10 Rink 1 MN Thoroughbreds v Minnesota Crunch 7:50-9:50 pm
Saturday, 3/6/10 Rink 1 Minnesota Crunch v Shattuck St. Mary’s 1:30-3:30 pm
Sunday, 3/7/10 Rink 1 Shattuck St. Mary’s v MN Thoroughbreds 1:20-3:20 pm

Should be some good hockey.

Not very competitive games so far on the first day of the state tourney.

Breck 10, New Ulm 0 - Final

South St. Paul 4, Hutchinson 0 - end of 2nd

More info and Livestats for current games available here.
 
Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey III

The first two games were boring. The third one between Warroad and Chisago Lakes will be, too. Final qf game may be the closest game with Alex and Faribault.

Chisago has improved quite a bit since earlier in the year, but I suspect you're right, they probably won't be able to keep it close against the mighty Warriors.

I agree that the Alex - Faribault tilt should be a pretty evenly matched affair.

Sir, I believe that could be taken as an insult to somebody somewhere.
If I weren't scared of getting the whatfor for being insensitive and mean I'd offer my opinion that Lakeville No. and Burnsville have no chance and Irondale and PHM very little chance, and the tournament will be decided between the other 4 teams.

Class A only has one very good team this year, Breck. (Roseau moved up and Blake is rebuilding). Warroad is something else again--nobody is sure what to do with them, they go way beyond being a good Class A team. But one thing is clear--it's going to be a very uncomfortable Class A tournament for the folks at MSHSL.

capitalist, if you look at the boy's tournament - unanimously considered the best high school hockey tournament in the country - you also have a few teams every year that have little chance of winning. That's just the way it is, given the MSHSL's preference to have all geographic areas of the state represented.

If anything, we are fortunate in the girls AA tourney this year to have at least 5 teams - maybe 6 - represented that have a decent to excellent chance of winning it. And although they are not a favorite, I do put Irondale in that group.

P.S. Irondale is leading Lakeville North 2-0 after 1.
 
Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey III

Agreed, this is a good collection.
What's really been impressive about this season were the outstanding section tournaments. Section 4 matchups of RV-SW and WBL-HM plus the final of RV-HM were terrific. Tight games all thru in Sec. 7 and 8 gave us 2 very good northern teams. Upsets on both sides of the bracket in Sec. 3 plus the big upset in Sec. 1. Irondale had to win 2 games in OT to advance. And Hopkins had 2 wars to win vs. BSM and Minnetonka to earn their spot. There were lots of good teams this year and slowly but surely we're seeing hot rivalries created in the sections--that's what's always been special on the boys' side: Edina-Minnetonka, Roseau-Warroad (before the split), East-Grand Rapids, WB-HM, like that.
 
Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey III

Afternoon games

Irondale 4
Lakeville North 1

Edina 4

At the first period break of USA-Canada

Roseville has scored at 6:25 and again at 6:55 of the first to lead Proctor-Hermantown-Marshall by 2-0
 
Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey III

USA-Canada second intermission (WHAT A GAME!!)
