1st Quarter
Out of the gate, the Royals' offence seemed to get a step on the Thunder defence. QB Drake Young connected with WR Sterling Underhill and TE Luiss de Brands to get over midfield in just two plays. The Thunder were able to hold them up at midfield, leading to a punt. K Ira Foster would send t

How long before we see "non-conference" games? St Cloud is pretty close to the cities and Bemidji isn't absurdly far from the other independents or the Red River, although I have no idea how good travel as back then

1898 Standings
Red River Hockey League
Kittson County was the team to beat this year in the RRHL, going an impressive 7-1 on their way to clinching the Red River Cup. Their only loss was strangely enough the only win of the year for Warren who went winless the rest of the season. Thief River Falls played well in their first year, ending the season as the only team besides Kittson County with a winning record. Last year's champions Crookston were solid but not quite as good as a year ago, finishing the season with a .500 record. Pembina County finished in fourth with a record of 3-5.
Twin Cities Hockey League
It was a good year in St. Paul with the St. Paul Athletic Club and East Side finishing first and second with the Athletic Club clinching the Washburn Cup with a 10-6 record. The East Side Hockey Club finished with one more tie and one less win, barely missing out on a share of the title. Mill City was just as close to repeating as TCHA champions, ending the season just one win behind the Athletics but ending up in third. Minneapolis and Stillwater bring up the rear as the only teams to finish with losing records.
Independents North
Two Harbors and Duluth both finished their seasons with 2-1 records, splitting the season series and both beating Eveleth who went winless in their first season.
Independents Central
Bemidji took down St. Cloud in both of their meetings, ending the season perfect at 2-0.
And thus concludes the 1897/98 season. Please let me know what you think, comments are always appreciated!

There were really two sets of Independents this year, one in the north and one more central. Up north saw Duluth & Two Harbors meeting again for their third annual home and home series along with the newcomers from Eveleth playing both teams once, Duluth on Lake Superior and Two Harbors in Eveleth. Then in the central part of the state we had Bemidji and St. Cloud who agreed to play one game apiece, first in St. Cloud and then in Bemidji.
Duluth Hockey Club vs Two Harbors Hockey Club
A large crowd had gathered along the shores of Lake Superior to watch the Duluth Hockey Club and the Two Harbors Hockey Club battle for the third year in a row. They were treated to quite a contest with both teams going back and forth for 60 minutes. When the final whistle sounded the hometown crowd erupted into applause as the boys from Duluth had won by a score of 7-6
Two Harbors Hockey Club vs Duluth Hockey Club
Two Harbors got their payback just a few weeks later when Duluth made the trip up the North Shore for the second half of the home and home. The hosts struck first and never looked back, going on to win by a score of 8-4, leaving the all-time series tied 3-3 after 3 years of play.
Duluth Hockey Club vs Eveleth Hockey Club
Just a week after losing to Two Harbors, Duluth welcomed a new team to town for their first ever hockey game. The hosts showed no hospitality for the visitors from Eveleth, skating circles around the team in red on their way to an easy 12-2 win to end their season with a 2-1 record.
Eveleth Hockey Club vs Two Harbors Hockey Club
The sun was shining and the conditions were nearly perfect for hockey when Two Harbors took on Eveleth in the first ever hockey game in the Iron Range. Eveleth showed a bit of improvement from their match against Duluth, doubling their goal count by the end of the game, but they really struggled on the defensive end. Two Harbors unloaded offensively for a blowout 13-4 victory on the road.

I'm really liking TRF! All the new squads look cool.
Thanks! I'm glad you like TRF too, they've probably got my favorite jersey of the teams so far.

The Falcons on the Mount jersey isn't the best on its own, but with the black pants I think it actually works. As much as I hate to say it that Glaciers jersey is beautiful.
The green and silver looks good and fits the time period great, but I'm gonna miss the green and gold color scheme for Kavalos.

Those Glaciers on the Mount jerseys are gorgeous. Clearly the better looking of the two Yubay on the Mount jerseys.

1994 Amateur Player Draft
The '94 draft class was considered by many scouts to have a high floor but lacked top-end talent. Headlining the top consensus group was Swedish winger Louis Lindstrom, along with British-born goaltender Billy Monday and Norwegian defenseman Oskar Nygard. Narva-born defender Andy Cosseboom and BC centerman Ollie Rubidoux rounded out a top five group.
Before the draft, the Pioneers traded their 1994 1st-round pick, 1995 1st-round pick, and the rights to prospects Hoyt Everhart and Kraig Held to Kavalos for winger Denis Lemieux. The 29-year-old Lemieux had privately requested a trade from a rebuilding Electrics team and the Pioneers were especially interested in his services.
The Electrics traded rising goaltender Olin Schuster, 26, to the Yubay Falcons for their 1994 1st-round pick, 1995 1st-round pick, and goalie Mac McFarlane. Kavalos turned around and flipped the '94 Yubay pick and their own 1995 2nd-rounder to Waterdee to move up from second to first in the draft order. It was rumored that the Kavs were enamored with Lindstrom and Waterdee was on the fence about him.
1 – KAV (via WAT) – LW Louis Lindstrom (Sweden)
The Swedish winger caused the Electrics to initiate a bevy of trades to land the #1 pick in order to draft him. “Sweet Lou” is a talented winger with a high IQ and slick shot. The Kavs' brass was certain that the rebuild would be centered around Lindstrom and traded away Lemieux and Schuster to make it happen. Not every team felt so strongly about Lindstrom but Kavalos went all-in on initiating their new plan.
2 – WAT (via KAV) – D Oskar Nygard (Norway)
The Dragons had a difficult choice but elected to go with the Norwegian defenseman Nygard who is a talented player and more of a stay-at-home defender with a high IQ that Waterdee desperately need
