It seems that alot of transplanted Iowans living in Minnesota were
upset when one of the Minneapolis TV stations dropped the Iowa bowl
game in favor of the Edina HS Hockey Tourney.  I don't understand -
it seems as though the priorities are in order here.  I believe that
Edina has more competition for spots on their hockey team than Iowa
has for their football team.  Edina had 140 trying out for varsity
this year.  The PeeWees had 240 try out last year - they fielded
16 teams.  Concerning the tourney - the Edina, St. Paul Hill Murray
championship never materialized. Hill Murray had their 33 game
winning streak broken by White Bear Lake 4-2 in the semis.
