Has anyone started their backyard rinks yet? Looks like temperatures will dip mid-week here, with lows being consistent in the 20s, and the ground might start freezing up in the next couple of weeks.

My opinion but, Chanhassen appears to be a more well-rounded team compared to the Hornets.
It will be a fun game tonight.

This #14 for Chan is shifty fast in person.

Hermantown looks pretty impressive.

Remember Rhett Pitlick displayed an insane goal last year. One on one.

The first period of the Northfield & St. Cloud game was buzzing with energy from both teams.

I’m thinking St.Cloud Cathedral will win the ‘A’ Championship.
Sorry Hermantown.

Here we go boys!

White Bear Lake is gearing up to deliver a knockout blow to Hill-Murray tonight!

I hope Grand Rapids wins in OT here.

It’s all fun.
Chanhassen’s goalie was on fire.

Gimruis must have a boat slip……

Gotta love it.

Dream State- Warroad Hockey

Correct.
There youth programs are top notch. What happens at the High School levels is beyond me. Not sure if kids are leaving or moving onto high level development programs….

Wait till next year as Moorhead’s AA
Bantam team skated to a tie with the #1 team in the nation Shattuck St Mary’s…

Fingers crossed that Chanhassen brings their A-game to the ice tomorrow. They’re looking to bounce back from a 2-3 defeat against Minnetonka on December 7th.

My boy’s in his second year with the Brainerd ‘A’ Squirts, and honestly, it’s going pretty well. Sure, the ice times can be a bit rough, but those weekend matches and tournaments? They’re totally worth it. It’s a team effort, really – he puts in the work on the ice, and I’m there to support. That’s hockey life for you.

I would advise against investing your money in Nitto tires based on my personal experience with two sets. In my opinion, they are soft tires and perform extremely poorly in winter conditions. Although they have an attractive appearance, they require frequent rotations, usually around every 3,000 miles, as they tend to develop cupping issues.

Great Tournament.
Congratulations to Hermantown and Andover.

Warroad also recruits, sometimes from out of state & also from Canada.

I’ll be shoveling snow off tonight & flooding tomorrow night. Gonna take a couple days to bring back.
With the warm temps it melted down the high ridges nicely, was excited for a nice rink……but the wind, rain that turned to ice , then into snow created a monster.

So what’s your initial thoughts with comfort & making the switch ?

Yeah, I was thinking that as well.
To bad there sold out of these seats.
They should think about switching there entire line up.

First skate tonight Baxter,MN.

Yeah, it doesn’t look terrible.
I’m gonna let it sit & probably add an inch of water tomorrow evening.

Well we got approximately 4” of snow, the 4” of snow turned into slush on the top layer of rink.
Is the solution letting this sit for the next 4-5 days & resurface with hot water ?

Completely agree.
Mines locked up……
But it’s minimal ice.

We are supposed to get 4” here in central mn.

Well I started flooding tonight, I figured I’d get a jump start before Sunday’s cold temps.
