Looking like the perfect night to sit back a watch two high school hockey games on BSN.

Edina Holiday Classic:

Eden Prairie vs. Elk River @ 6pm

Grand Rapids vs. Edina @ 8:30

Great chance to watch Gopher commit Teddy Townsend as well as stud underclassman Mason Moe (no relation) on EP as well as Jackson Nevers on Edina. 

 

Good call. So far Townsend has 1G 2A and Moe has 2G 1A. They've just been setting each other up for goals.

Seems like if we want Moe (which we probably do) we’ll probably get him based on past Eden Prairie history. Only outliers Blake (dad went to UND) and Kristo. Weird how pricks magnetize to UND. 

Anyways Moe is eligible to commit August 1st I bet we’ll be in his ear that night. Bob can start talking to him Jan. 1

I realize I may not be able to watch, but are there any sources for free streams this year? I know some of the schools offered them up not too long ago but I haven't had luck finding any this season.

You might try The Rink Live. Scroll down and they have links for both boy’s and girl’s games

I know Tonka streams their games on this service.

Edit: sorry I missed the free part.  This is a paid stream that they have been pushing the last couple of years

Yeah thanks - I had that one but did notice the fee.  If I lived in the US I would probably do it because I'd watch more games.  But with the time zone difference it's not always convenient for me to watch.

Moe's grandfather is Tom Moe, former AD & athlete. His uncle & aunt are former U athletes. He's cousins with Carter Coughlin & Cole Kraemer.

That's being kind.  Normally these things can at least be argued away but this one is obvious he hasn't been to some of these.

It would be interesting to know his criteria.

A few of my favorites picked mostly for comfort, sight lines, adequate seating and I’m a bit of a sucker for tradition.

The mini-Ralph in Thief River Falls, the big barn in Hibbing, Braemar, Grand Rapids, Aldrich, the Heritage rink in Duluth and maybe the new rink in Elk River. Didn’t give this a lot of thought, if I did it tomorrow it would probably be quite different.

One of the few good points about being a senior is cheaper tickets most places. Shout out to the ones I’ve come across where seniors are free: Andover (very nice facility) and Fogerty in Blaine. Was at another rink earlier this season that was free to seniors but in a downside to being a senior I can’t remember which rink it was ? I should include Shattuck in this, but they are free for everyone.

Seeing the Hippodrome in White Bear on that list reminds me of my days working at the Coliseum at the Fair Grounds. Two or three times every year a group would show up thinking they had ice time when they were supposed to be at the White Bear Hipp. Some didn’t even know the White Bear rink existed.

Counted it up and I have been to at least 82 on that list.  Don't necessarily agree with the rankings, but as with all list, it is subjective.

Putting Pagel ahead of Minnetonka Ice Arena is a no for me.  Pagel is more modern but MIA has charm.

It has to be a joke.  East Bethel is 31 and it is one of the shittiest rinks in the state.  It is a terrible rink that isn't well funded (not kept up) and the boards are so awkwardly tall that larger peewees can't jump them.

I think they put this together because they are White Bear Lake people and they wanted to slam TCO by putting it last.

I don’t think anyone is arguing it’s not a joke list. All I asking was it part of a bit on the morning show or another show on KFAN.

Got to tell a Columbia story at the expense of an old friend. An old softball buddy played in the early days of Forest Lake hockey. They were playing a game at Columbia. Columbia used to kill all the lights for the National Anthem with a spotlight on the flag. It was dark, like can’t-see-your-hand-in-front-of-your-face dark. The teams line up on their blue lines for the anthem. My friend drops his helmet. As it’s so dark he kneels down to pick it up but can’t find it. His efforts continue to no avail. As the anthem concludes and the lights come up he’s flat on the ice fishing around with his stick and the helmet is about thirty feet away from him.

Had forgotten about Bethel, but pretty sure you’re right about that. If I recall correctly, the Vulcans only did Columbia for the last year before their move to Nebraska. Their early years were at Woog (Wakota in those days) then a few years at Augsburg. I think there were other stops along the way but I can’t recall the specifics.

EDIT: Looks like I’m probably wrong about the Vulcans last year at Columbia, although I remain somewhat skeptical. From Vintage Minnesota Hockey.

The Vulcans played their home games at Mariucci arena on the U of M Campus,Wakota Arena in South St. Paul, Augsburg Arena in Minneapolis, Columbia Arena in Fridley, and finally at the Bloomington Ice Gardens in the teams final season of play in Minnesota.

I spent a lot of time at Columbia.  I tagged along with my dad when he played men's league there in the early 80's, and I played there occasionally in youth hockey.

The Edina at Tonka tilt for Thursday night is looking pretty good on paper.  Edina with 10 straight wins after dropping their first 3, and Tonka has won 8 of 9 with the loss coming vs. #1 Wayzata.

The Tonka/Wayzata rematch will be on BSN, Thu, Feb. 2nd at 7pm.

Was thinking the Edina/Tonka game was on BSN as well. Though it was the girls game this past Sat.

#1 team in AA goes north for two and comes home winless.

I thought that was a pretty big story especially when one of the teams was the #1 team in class A.

Yeah… Warroad beat Wayzata 3-0. Though until Warroad and even Hermantown join the ranks of AA and play in the grind of the AA Sections and Tourney. All regular season and State accomplishments mean dinky-doo.

Did I hurt your simple minded feelings?!?!?! 

Class A isn’t the grind like Class AA is. And the Hermantown’s and Warroad’s of Class A wouldn’t have their cakewalks to the Class A semifinals in Class AA. Is Class A competitive… yes. Maybe 4-6 teams each year. But Class A isn’t the competitiveness and grind like AA.
