no97 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Note that Roseau and Wayzata (the team with the Trojan and a W on its jersey) both wore white in the first game of the day. Hockey Day Minnesota was in Moorhead, and both teams only brought their whites, and with each school 3+ hours from home, they had little choice but to just play in the white jerseys:http://player.theplatform.com/ps/player/pds/duXthYEk4s?pid=TRyZHY2DkBgeMkJ_l8trP1vrbFmyRa9Khttp://www.mnhockeyhub.com/news_article/show/78385?referrer_id=32770-newshttp://www.mnhockeyhub.com/photo_gallery/show/33453#all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I saw that and on TV it was kinda tough to tell 'em apart. The sun and the white vs. white...You had to search for Wayzata's blue shoulders.

no97 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 I'm just watching the games now on DVR (I was out of town all day yesterday), and didn't realize how bad the ice conditions turned out. I know they ended up moving an outdoor game indoors up in Michigan last winter, and they really should have done it for at least the second game (Moorehad vs. Hill-Murray)yesterday. In fact, the ice was so bad that they moved the net forward since the goalie ended up basically digging a hole through and creating slush in the crease.http://www.mnhockeyhub.com/news_article/show/78388?referrer_id=32770-newshttp://www.mnhockeyhub.com/photo_gallery/show/33454#all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The last two years have been awful weather-wise. Funny how fast things change up here. We were freezing our balls off just last week. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 as corny as it may have looked, couldn't they have gotten a bunch of colored pinnys (pinneys?) from a local high school?

Joshawaggie Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I was watching that, and had to wonder how much harder it was to see with the sun being so bright. That was a lot of white all over the place. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshawaggie Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Another interesting note, uniform wise, was Moorhead's jersey. They always have the U of Minnesota M, or a cursive "Spuds". I was suprised and interested to see them with the Wild's alt jersey script made to say Moorhead. Check the links. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that stood out to me, however, is that, for as big a deal as we all seem to make out of uniforms, the players didn't seem to have any problems identifing which team each other was on. Now, was it the blue shoulders, or the familiarity each kid has with his teammates? Either way, white-on-white didn't seem as distracting as you would think it could be...

Now, was it the blue shoulders, or the familiarity each kid has with his teammates? Either way, white-on-white didn't seem as distracting as you would think it could be...I'll give you a clue as to why they could play with both teams wearing white jerseys. If you ever read Wayne Gretzky's bio, he talks about when the Oilers played the Islanders the first time in the Stanley Cup finals that the hardest thing was to differentiate the pants between the two teams while on the ice. He talked about glancing to each side and having a hard time knowing who was on each side at a glance. I look at these two teams and see that one team has green pants and the other team has blue pants. I'm not saying it was difficult, but it can be done. Besides, isn't most pond hockey played with whatever jersey you show up in, so there are bound to be similar color jerseys on opposite teams.
