Well they had a good run at EDC when Burgraff was there the first year (03-04) and upset Central in 05-06.

Had a good run with players that were not even from Fargo. I believe their goalie was from Sioux Falls, a couple of their best players were from Minot and Bismarck. I thought I saw their feeder program was doing fairly well though, so maybe things are on the right track for the Shanley organization.

3. Shanley can not be said to be always playing for last. They are like any other team and have good and bad years. Last year was rough but two years ago they had 12 conference points including the upset of Central. They lost two tight games to North and lost 2-1 to West Fargo. Then you have the year they upset Red River and then lost to both South and Grafton in overtime at EDC.
4. Kids left Shanley to go to North...but why? The North and Shanley game this year should be a good game...its not like those kids were going to an elite program.
5. Shanley does not have scholarships...they cannot recruit. You cannot do that as a high school and people need to get that out of their heads.

Thank you for the information. You bring up some good points. Do you have any insight into why kids left Shanley for North? Tuition costs, etc..? or was it just flat out for the hockey? I agree if it was just for hockey, it's not like they left for a South/Red River/Grafton team.
On the recruiting trail, maybe Shanley does not currently "recruit" their players. When their team opted out of the co-op a few years ago to form their own team, are you telling me that players from Minot, Bismarck, Sioux Falls, etc... just happened to decide that Fargo Shanley???
