Minnesota Girls High School Hockey IV

[ne7minder]

If you would care to get a look at both Oden and Zumwinkle, Edina and Breck have a game scheduled tonight at Braemar Ice Arena, at 6:00PM. Thinking about taking that in myself.

If you are not here you are missing the best HS girls game I have ever see. Edina has team speed on all 3 lines and is driving a very good Breck crazy.

Very physical also but clean. B broke out to a 3-0 lead but E has been relentless and at the end of 2 it is 3-2.

Thanks, but got back home last night.

Now back to the US vs Slovakia men's junior game.

I got home later than I thought so like Blackbeard I wound up watching the World Junior game. Thanks for the update and if you could, let us know how the game ended?

3-3 tie. Edina got a 6 on 5 goal with 1:31 left and OT was crazy with several chances both ways. We left before the shootout so it is a tie to us & MSHSL

I absolutely HATE when any tournament championships are decided by a shootout! OK (I suppose) for regular season games, but for post-season and championship tournament play, no way!

Breck won the shootout(thanks to a fellow commenter for sending that news) and in my opinion Edina was clearly the better team. That counts for nothing in a shootout.

Breck may not have gotten a SOG in the third period Edina was that dominant, though it did look like B was trying to sit on that 1 goal for the final 6-8 minutes, they might have just been gassed. B played better in OT and had a couple chances but E was still the better team. B has a good team but could not match E line for line with speed and play making.

Breck is #2 in 1A behind Blake who beat them earlier. They play again on the 10th and I want to see that game.

EDIT. Just realized the 10th is during the U18 interruption. Both teams will be short their star so why bother?

Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey IV

What's up with the Tonka girls program? I realize you can't win a title every year, but iirc they've not been a top flight team the past few years.

Tonka was definitely relevant last year,just lost in sections...this year they returned only 5 skaters and 0 goalies...with large association numbers they will be fine

Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey IV

I see that Tonka just won Eden Prairie's "Mid-Winter Meltdown" Tournament. Although they are down some compared to recent teams they are still very competitive.

I was really impressed with Edina's speed and with several of their players' excellent skating ability. Very talented and it was a pleasure to watch them.

Nice facility too.

Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey IV

I know we’re in the holiday doldrums, but how can anyone back here in the Elite East not be bowled over by reading this thread? Seriously. Location, location, location. There you have shout-outs for Braemar Ice Arena at 6:00PM! And if you can’t manage to compare the speed of Edina with the persistence of Breck you can console yourself watching the US-Slovakia World Juniors!! Talk about passion!!! Here we have a couple of prep schools and Assabet. Can’t you guys dilute both the fan and the talent pool with a little field hockey, or chlorinate it with water polo (both thirteen-month sports, btw)? Don’t you want to see us in the Frozen Four again before 2050? Oden vs. Zumwinkle! Sheesh . . . we wish.









And another Potomak on the way? Woe is us.

Oden vs Zumwinkle...That really does sound epic doesn't it.

Oden in ancent German means "master if ecstasy" and was known as a wonderer with little regard for justice but a bringer of wisdom.

I think she will bring ecstasy to gopher fans and wisdom to opponents (she will make them 'smart').

Zumwinkle, 'at an angle', will hit from every angle for sure.

Cambridge-Isanti junior Aly Niebur breaks the Minnesota girls high school hockey state record for scoring the 3 quickest goals ever, in just 15 seconds! The record was previously held by former Benilde-St. Margaret's star and current Gopher Kelly Pannek, who managed to score her 3 in 22 seconds, back in 2012.

You think after the 2nd one the D would have been a little more resistant, though some blame must go on the goalie one would assume. I'd love to see the footage.

I saw it last night on local KSTP's sports segment. As far as the opponent's D being a little more resistant, I looked into it a little further, and see that they're a Wisconsin team, which makes what happened completely understandable.

They could always go with the idea of a moral victory by not getting overwhelmingly outshoot (26-14).

Oh that's funny, but I'm the first one to admit Wisconsin Girls HS Hockey is relatively unskilled when compared to rodentsota. Obviously that's why all the uber talented WI HS girls tend to play HS hockey elsewhere.
