It wishful thinking its hard to compare club hockey with high school hockey is a different type of pace that alot of athletes that come from club hockey have a hard time getting used to.

i'm alittle confused by the comment, "compare club hockey with high school hockey?" it's a good indicater for future opinions. and the bottineau team that played other A teams, wasn't a true A team. they had 2 bantam teams, that were split mainly by age. the younger team had alot of talent, some of the kids should of been on the other team. i guess there were internal issues, my team played against the younger squad at the bantam b1 last year in grafton. there goalie ended up in the hosiptal 2 weeks before the tournament and they used the peewee goalie. they ended up getting the cons. championship.
i guess my point is that when you combine the two teams, they will be good. maybe the days of bottineau, shanley, devils lake, and fargo north are coming back. my brother told me that all 4 teams use to be competitive.

Ok then if you want to go by that mandan's bantam A team last year went to the state A1 tourney, and they took constalation i think but lost to the first place team by 2 goals grafton in there first game. there were no bismarck teams in the A1 tourney so your telling me mandan should be a close lock for west region contetion when they get to be juniors and seniors? It ok to compare, but you can't rely on the club hockey records.

If you're going by club hockey, let me look up Bantam A State hockey for the 2009 graduating class (When they'll be seniors).

The Flyers (Who beat GF in the semifinals) lost to Grafton by a whopping 5 goals. I'm guessing this won't be even close to how the High School games should turn out, but we'll see. If it does shape up this way, that Bottineau team would lose by 20+

r u serious he let in 4 goals against bismark w/ like 44 shots and did u c the goals that went in the wiliston game 6 of them were the crazyest goals that ive ever ceen and half went off his own team mates u cant blame them on the goalieMetal Edge wrote:jo wrote:[sup]i thought that goalie from bottineau was pretty good. he is the only sophmore ranked in the top goalies b/c kovacs is a junior. getzlaff also played every game. hes pretty decent
[/sup]
he let 18 goals in during the WDA, that's 6.0 goals per game. getzlaff has his work cut out if he wants to be a top-goaltender.
D.L. didn't beat Bottineau that year, loses came from Minot, South and Shanley. I also believe that particular D.L. goalie was kind of a head case.WildWarrior wrote:tim wrote:i just read an article about bantam A last year... bottineau's bantam purple took second place in minots border cup, loosing to them in double over time, that team had all of the guys that will be seniors in 09 on it, plus a few more (mainly bryce schmitt). bottineau also beat minots A team 5-1 on their home ice, beat dickenson every visit, hazen every visit, and williston one of two times, they lost to mandan twice in overtime, and once in overtime as well to devils lake. this team was made up of twelve guys who will all be seniors in 2009. i think that they might be able to put something togather in the west...
It is nice to see Bottineau is having some success in their feeder program. I can attest first hand though that is not a good indicator of future success. In the 1988 bantam state tournament we (DL) were heavily favored to win as we had beaten everyone throughout the year. The whole town was excited as even the radio was going to broadcast our championship game. The radio guy left when he heard we were up 5-0 after one period. When he arrived we had been beaten 6-5. Our goalie allowed a weak goal from center ice and that just opened the floodgates. Fargo South beat us and then won easily in the championship. Anyhow enough reliving the past. My point is we didn't even make it to the state tournament my jr. or sr. year.
I too though do remember some strong bottineau teams, I remember a foreign exchange student from sweden i believe, Per Valan or something like that. I remember DL had beaten them everytime during the season in close games and in the consolation bracket of the state tourney it was 3-0 before i got to my seat in the 1st period. Bottineau wiped us that game.
