High School Hockey - The Minnesota Way

Just before the start of the 2011 Minnesota Boy State High School Hockey Championship between the Duluth East Greyhounds and the Eden Prairie Eagles at the Xcel Energy Center. It starts with the East students doing the I believe chant.

For a hockey player at the HS age, there is nothing more glamorous than playing in the Minnesota High School League. Why play midgets in front of an empty arena? Look at Shattuck, they won the National title in front of 200 fans? No one cares, nice way to waste you efforts on a hockey league that means nothing. Congrats to the players that stay in HS and understand something about TEAM and COMMUNITY and would rather play infront of thousands of fans even during regular season games.

Only in Minnesota hockey inspires us to play it in the mall

@mikeyedhockey14 you tell mem how many players were drafted to the NHL who played for Shattuck, and how many played for a MN HS team. Arguement over.

[lacore1988]

@mikeyedhockey14 Actually, these teams have far more players drafted each year than Shattucks does... Like someone else said on here, If you took the top 20 players from this tournament to play shattucks, shattucks wouldnt stand a chacne... NHL scouts know the level of HS hockey in Minnesota, and watch many of these kids play. They dont favor certain players because they played prep instead of HS in MN.. In fact, i would say the state tournament is way better exposure for a young player

[mikeyedhockey14]

@mnhockeyfan dont trash midgets its not always about fans its about exposure as well and shattuck gets way more exposure than these teams having kids drafted into the NHL

Whoever has played shattuck will agree that there sick but I'm not even from Minnesota but if shattuck played Eden prairie or like Edina I don't know if they are still good I think they would lose or it would be a sick game to watch

@hockeyCK27

Shattuck plays against some of the better teams (Benilde, Holy Angels) and wins about 3-1

If they played Eden Prarie or Saint Thomas Academy, they could lose.
