I played 94-97 and there were good teams, just as there are now. As a coach of a highschool team now, you can only coach the kids you have. Are Bottineau, Hazen, Diki, Williston at a disadvantage to schools such as Bismarck, Century, Minot, South, Red River, etc.. Certainley when Hazen has 14 kids total, against Red River whom can cut kids from there whole highschool program, strength in numbers and more talent to choose from. Is that an excuse for why these schools have a more difficult time competing, you would have to agree with that. When I played in the late 90's Hazen had some decent teams, as well as Bottineau had there hay days. I am proud of how well I think the West has progressed and I believe it is growing stronger hockey players. I think BHS has a very strong team, as well WHS, CHS, and MHS, the difference is depth, strength in numbers. I believe if you look at the East and how they did against the Minnesota teams this past weekend, paints the same picture. The East can domintate most West teams, and talk crap about it, do you think the Minnesota top teams talk crap to the East ND teams.

I think that it is great that we get to see good hockey in ND and the development of players, no matter if it is WHS 4 vs. CHS 3 or Bottineau 2 vs. Diki 1 or Bloomington Jefferson 6 vs. Grafton 0.

If you werent then either a) you didn't play or b) you obviously didn't skate to hard. Same thing said to Radiation_Roy if you even played. Williston does NOT run 3-4 lines they have 2 and occasionally send out the third when the first two are out of gas. As for the replay goal, if you take a shot from behind the net then sure it was a nice shot.

ive been on teams where we ran 2 forward lines and 3-4 defense and we always played hard and never saw being tired a reason for losing the game.....maybe if this is such an issue williston needs to condition more.

Besides that you have the biggest sheet of ice in the state, so you really shouldnt be whining about having to play on a smaller sheet you should be flying around...and now that I think about it you probley didnt see the crossbar shot because you had to be on the bench for it...3rd liner???

LOL!!! sorry but I graduated already there bud...so no sorry not on 3rd line. If you played your heart out and left it all on the ice, you should be rested up by the next day but not up to 100% as I remember. It's not a matter of conditioning, it's a matter of giving it your all. Not saying that you don't give it your all everynight, just that you might not have as much to offer the second or third night of play.
