    Yes. A girls team may opt up to AA if they wish. The boys team does not. Although if you are talking Breck/Blake......they both should move up. #sandbaggers

      Doesn't Britain's have a system where the second tier champion is automatically moved up to the premiere league? I get that its not a warm and fuzzy feeling to get relegated down esp in high school sports.

        Blake and Breck will in fact be meeting in the section 5A final with both their victories tonight. Thursday night, 7:30pm at Parade Ice Garden.

        Over in section 5AA, Blaine and Maple Grove advanced to the final. That matchup is Friday night, 7:00pm at Roseville Ice Arena.

        Or if the east side is more to your liking, section 4AA has Hill Murray and White Bear Lake who advanced to the final with victories tonight. Friday night 7:00pm at Aldrich Arena

        Plenty of Gopher recruits to get a look at with these options.

          Bottom 3 in Premier are relegated and 3 get moved up.

            The problem with moving up a team to AA once they have one the A championship is that you are punishing the next year's group of kids. In most high schools (not Blake) you have no control over the next crop of kids coming up through your program. By forcing them to move up a class you would actually be punishing the kids for last years team's success. This is why I agree that a team should not be forced to move up. My only issue is that teams such as Blake know they will be good for the next X amount of years. They choose to sandbag just to win a trophy is puzzling to me.

                There are some who say the A schools in AA should move down, thereby improving the quality and interest of A

                  Early on MSHSL allowed "new" teams (and I don't remember how they determined exactly what new meant but it was the first few years of play) to "play down" but at some point they had to move up. There has been talk off and on about dividing by success instead of size. With the hockey factories having a lot of success I am sure it will be a topic of conversation for the foreseeable future.

                    A number of years back on the boys side they divided teams into 'Tier I' and 'Tier II' and it took only a couple of years before they went back to an enrollment based system.

                        Yeah, it was a case of nobody wanting to pay to go see a tournament featuring "the best of the worst"?

                            I'm planning on going to the 5A game between the top 2 teams in class A, Blake and Breck. 3 Gopher recruits to watch plus some potential younger recruits as well. Should be a Blake win as they have more depth than Breck but maybe Zumwinkle can work some magic. Probably a good idea to get there early for the 7:30 start tonight at Parade Ice Garden if your planning on going.

                                Maple Grove 20-4-1

                                They played one game against each other that ended in a 1-1 tie

                                Pretty darn close as to who is seeded #1 or #2.
