I was looking forward to EDC in Fargo this year at the new UP center. Would have been a really nice setting for big competition. Also, according to their site (
http://www.ndhsaa.org/files/Sites_thru_2012.pdf) they will not be changing it to accommodate the new rink. Living in Fargo, it's a shame it isn't going to be played here. Girls will also be playing in GF again this year, meaning the Purpur/Ralph shenanigans are likely to occur again. (I hated the arena transfers, a LOT) Not playing in the arena that's the only reason State is always in Grand Forks really ruins the mood of the tournament.
However, I did get tipped off to the Schedule for Fargo South's 2008-2009 season:
http://www.fargo.k12.nd.us/education/sc ... V_BHoc.pdfI'll make this into a thread later for people to post team's schedules, as NDHighSchoolHockey.com doesn't have it up yet.
Looks like South is practicing at the UP center, and playing all their games there. That'll be fun to see. They also play Moorhead and White Bear Lake from Minnesota for their first two games, 3 days apart.
According to
http://www.geocities.com/dent0110/ White Bear Lake is rated 9 and Moorhead is rated 14 in Minnesota for 2008-2009. Should be a challenging start for FS.
