Every Canadian comment about how Canadian hockey is so much better please look up where Crosby went to play high school hockey. Canadian hockey is better than American hockey (no disputing), but Minnesotan high school is the best high school hockey in the world.
i graduated from STA, but i've gotta say it feels pretty damn good! it means we're doing something right--so keep on hating man, it only encourages us to do better
@TheMNhockey1 i'd disagree with that but none of us can really talk because i havent seen many u18 minnesota teams and you probably haven't seen a tonne of u18 canadian teams, and most of the kids that are u18 are playing juniors anyways in the o the q or the w
Absolutely ridiculous. These guys were able to hold back Shattuck, the Prep School that trained Towes, Crosby, Parise, Jack Johnson, and so many more players. Shattuck has to recruit from all over the world, these guys get there talent from 1 Metro Area in one state. Get lost.
St. Thomas players & coaches did want to move up to AA, but the school headmaster is the guy that said no. Frankly, I think it would help their recruiting if they opted up.
Yeah its not like a normal high school game. Its the state championships. Every state does this for like football, baseball hockey and soccer or any other sport
we all agree and wished it would have happened years ago. but the administration said no (we will admit that's garbage on their part). in the meantime of course they were going to continue to try and win games, and championships--who wouldn't? whining doesn't solve anything, so get over it, it's not the students/players fault. what's done is done
usually in academic hockey the 1st period is played good, in 2nd and 3rd period everyone is just doing icings cause theit to tired to skate. It's just bunch of hungover students, but I guess they have discipline in military schools.
@texan2525 believe me you cannot keep up with them, i was on thief river and i am pretty fast for minnesota hockey and i couldn't keep up with most of them, and @thealmightycarlos yes they can put up a game against any team in AA to but why dont they? they are clearly the best team in A and they can easily recruit it is just cheap for them to be in single A hockey when they can recruit so they should grow a pair and go up to AA along with all privet schools
@tmcquillan15 Most of Minnesota isn't impressed genius. The Cadets should of gone up to AA YEARS ago. Also....lots of people give a shit about this situation. I'm here because I'm watching State Tourney vids on UA-cam......is that a problem? Also, why are you so mad? Perhaps you know that St. Thomas has been taking the easy road for YEARS!!!!!! Come play with the big boys.
![I am a champion - the greatest speech ever [ENG SUB]](/img/n.gif)
I come back to this video at least twice a year. Thanks for this
Just thought of it after 13 years. Wow.
Props to whoever edited this, really good job
Number 21 has some sick ass cellies.
This video is beaut. I watch this before every one of my hockey games.
we're just a school of excellence
this is unreal, awesome. makes everyone proud as hell to be a cadet
Every Canadian comment about how Canadian hockey is so much better please look up where Crosby went to play high school hockey. Canadian hockey is better than American hockey (no disputing), but Minnesotan high school is the best high school hockey in the world.
Crosby went to shattuck not Minnesota high school. Know ur facts first.
Hunter Young which is in MN
Hunter Young he still played in mn....
These kids make it look easy... Wish i was that good at hockey, but then again, house hockey is the best. Nice music choice by the way.
thats right thats my school a school of excellence
cant get enough of this holy shit watched it 50+ times
I love how when he scores the ot goal he doesn't do a stupid individual celebration but goes right to his teammates, so classy. Love this video!
Bad touch dubstep
This is such a gongshow with every dangle and snipe every play
NO! dont take down the video.. my hockey team in buffalo NY plays this before every game.. it pumps us right up!
okay this is amazing
@luker5555 not in minnesota. minnesota is not your plain old us hockey bro. you'll find out in march
Commers is a fucking Beast
BySteiny he’s my brother
Still makes me cringe as a Hermantown supporter to watch highlights of those heartbreakers in 2011 and 2013.
i meant afterwards. he basically shoved off the other two. i just think it should have been the captain who held onto it
i graduated from STA, but i've gotta say it feels pretty damn good! it means we're doing something right--so keep on hating man, it only encourages us to do better
thats crazy, gives me shivers when i watch this
this is amazing
whts the first song and who is it by
whats the song?
What's the techno song?
@TheMNhockey1 i'd disagree with that but none of us can really talk because i havent seen many u18 minnesota teams and you probably haven't seen a tonne of u18 canadian teams, and most of the kids that are u18 are playing juniors anyways in the o the q or the w
@MrTeamBase not to mention that both hermantown and duluth east made it to the state title games.
Actually not true, Just because the play 1A does not mean they wouldn't be fit for A2
the music was beautiful
These guys go to a military school so most of them probably have there shit together and aren't snobs
#9's goal was probably the sickest goal ive ever seen
Sam Smith he’s my friends brother no 9
Class A. Thank goodness they finally moved up.
St. Thomas should man up and play 2A.
nothing against sta, but how are you about to play that underdog clip at the beginning of the video when they are and were ranked #1 in state for 1a?
Wat song is that?
@15anthonym that is "the theory of competition" speech
at the end why did the assistant captain grab that trophy?
Absolutely ridiculous. These guys were able to hold back Shattuck, the Prep School that trained Towes, Crosby, Parise, Jack Johnson, and so many more players. Shattuck has to recruit from all over the world, these guys get there talent from 1 Metro Area in one state. Get lost.
how old are these kids
xxMcSnipesxx high school
ya for single A
What an excellent team this is. Wow.
Note to all haters. 2:29 just look at the scoreboard. These guys could easily put up a good game, no matter what division they play in.
I wish my school had lacrosse but that's not going to happen
wow those are fucking fast I can keep up with them but I don't think I could stick handle so fast
i dont even watch hockey and these guys look amazing.
i listen to this speach and watch this video before every game gets me ready!
St. Thomas players & coaches did want to move up to AA, but the school headmaster is the guy that said no. Frankly, I think it would help their recruiting if they opted up.
@TheMNhockey1 when was the last time minnesota won the olympics or world juniors?
@davyjohn22 they meant for it to contradict them...he says "most of the time, they do" meaning the team who was supposed to win, did.
What is the song in the background called. Need to download that pronto
1a and 2a makes no difference. look at scores
This is an Awesome Video! Is this like the equivalent of tier 1 AAA?
btw... props to #9 on the move and goal at 2:18
How does a high school get a huge crowd/stadium like this?
Welcome to high school hockey in Minnesota. Truly an incredible experience.
state tournament
Yeah its not like a normal high school game. Its the state championships. Every state does this for like football, baseball hockey and soccer or any other sport
Chuck Norris
Same as in Illinois. We packed the United Center for our State Championship game.
@conston11 the bad touch dubstep remix by prime
@Futurefirefighter99 i think its called versus sports montage
I personally know taylor fleming and he plays collage hockey now
Robbie stucker #2 for the cadets is going to the show
So does every hockey team... 1st line 2nd line... SR's JR's good call bro.
Haha maybe sta could learn from schools like bsm and hf moving up is the best option
Lourdes is gonna win it this year.
what is the speach in the beginning?
Dont these guys all have to serve in war though, if so i would love to have them in nhl uniforms
EncylcoFeedia your high right
No they somt
Doesnt get any better then Highschool hockey
sick just absolutely sick..makes me wish i played in Minnesota
we actually only have 541 boys, and I am pretty sure that Jesus had nothing to do with whether our administration wanted to move up to 2A or not..
Sick None the less forget about the jersey and focus on the play
first song?
we all agree and wished it would have happened years ago. but the administration said no (we will admit that's garbage on their part). in the meantime of course they were going to continue to try and win games, and championships--who wouldn't? whining doesn't solve anything, so get over it, it's not the students/players fault. what's done is done
dubstep
Should be interesting to see how they do in AA next year
@binarystar21 stop hating.
song?
thats a shit load of people for a high school hockey game haha
How would these guys rank compared to canadas junior teams?
usually in academic hockey the 1st period is played good, in 2nd and 3rd period everyone is just doing icings cause theit to tired to skate. It's just bunch of hungover students, but I guess they have discipline in military schools.
what song plays when STA scores in OT?
@texan2525 believe me you cannot keep up with them, i was on thief river and i am pretty fast for minnesota hockey and i couldn't keep up with most of them, and @thealmightycarlos yes they can put up a game against any team in AA to but why dont they? they are clearly the best team in A and they can easily recruit it is just cheap for them to be in single A hockey when they can recruit so they should grow a pair and go up to AA along with all privet schools
whats the speech at the beginning?
Unreal

@tmcquillan15
Most of Minnesota isn't impressed genius. The Cadets should of gone up to AA YEARS ago. Also....lots of people give a shit about this situation.
I'm here because I'm watching State Tourney vids on UA-cam......is that a problem?
Also, why are you so mad? Perhaps you know that St. Thomas has been taking the easy road for YEARS!!!!!!
Come play with the big boys.

Pennsylvania AAA doesn't stand a chance against this.
Ben Marshall > Christian Isackson

@Futurefirefighter99 theory of competition
