We had another pair of teams making tweaks out west in the Red River Hockey League.

Crookston Hockey Club
Crookston simplified their look a bit, cleaning up the stripes a bit and removing the chest stripe. Their new uniform is primarily red with thin white stripes throughout. The club’s wishbone C is inverted with the chest stripe gone and sits alone on the front of the sweater.

Fargo Hockey Club
Fargo introduced a new arched wordmark of the city name in a tuscan font that is set to replace the sans serif F the team has used since their inception. The club also adopted a new tuscan style number font to match their new logo.




Their new uniforms keep the same idea as their old set but with some changes. The team's new wordmark sits alone on the front of the sweater while the sleeves and socks remain striped like their past look. The stripes are changed though and are now equal thickness instead of thin gold stripes on green.



Old Jerseys

Our last change of the offseason comes from the Twin Cities Hockey Association.

Powderhorn Hockey Club
Powderhorn made arguably the biggest change of any team this offseason, adopting a new color scheme along with new uniforms and a tweaked logo. Their new logo is based on the previous one but is thinned a touch and the angled edges of the P are squared off. The biggest change is in the color with the club formally adopting green as their new primary color in place of black.




The club’s new uniforms are a unique dark green color with gray accents. The team kept the chest stripe from their previous set but the surrounding striping has been altered to a northwestern style stripe on the body with thinner alternating stripes on the sleeves and socks. The team’s new P logo sits centered in the chest stripe in green, as do the numbers on the back, removing any white from their identity.

1913/14 North Standings pt. 2



North Shore Hockey Association
The Superior dynasty continues, winning their 4th Lake Superior Cup in the last 5 years as they’ll look to finally get their first postseason win. The North Shore was the most affected by the Big Blow which shut down the league for nearly two weeks. It was also arguably the most balanced league in the MAHL as well with any team capable of winning on any given night. The Duluth squads finished two and three with the Duluth Hockey Club in second and Zenith Athletic in third, both with winning records. Cloquet finished just below .500 but placed ahead of Two Harbors for the first time since 1902 with the Timberwolves having their worst season in recent memory but still placing ahead of 8 win Proctor.



Northland Hockey League
For the third year in a row and 4th time in the last five years, International Falls has won the Northland Hockey League. It wasn’t really close with the boys in blue rolling over the competition and placing an incredible 20 points ahead of the second place finishers. Baudette placed second, the highest finish in club history, while Warroad and Kittson County tied for third with Pembina County just one point behind them. There really weren’t any “bad” teams in the NLHL with the bottom four still finishing with double digit wins and solid hockey teams. Those bottom clubs consisted of Grafton and Roseau ahead of the Canadian clubs from Morden and Fort Frances who finished bottom two.



Red River Hockey League
The Red River was up for grabs this year with a host of teams in the hunt as the season came to an end. When the dust settled it was Thief River Falls who walked away on top, taking home the Red River Cup for the 6th time in club history and will return to the playoffs after a 6 year hiatus. Other teams in the hunt include Moorhead, Red Lake Falls, & East Grand Forks with Crookston and Fargo in contention early before falling back as the season progressed. Ada had their best season in club history, finishing one game below .500 and placing ahead of Grand Forks for just the second time ever. Warren, Mayville, & Barnesville made up the bottom three with losing seasons.



West Central Hockey League
We had a tie atop the West Central with Fergus Falls repeating as champions but sharing ownership of the Knute Nelson Cup with first time champions Long Prairie. As the only league with multiple champions, the committee decided to allow both Long Prairie and Fergus Falls to compete in the 1914 Playoffs despite there being better non-champion teams in other leagues in the north region, causing some controversy and a lot of upset people in Virginia and Duluth. Wahpeton, Alexandria, Pelican Rapids, & Breckenridge joined the champs in the top half of the table with winning records. Sauk Center and Osakis got to double digit win totals and were a bit better than the bottom three who took the brunt of the rest of the league. Expansion clubs Wheaton and Morris finished 9th and 11th with Glenwood sandwiched between them.

1913/14 South Standings pt. 2



North Metro Hockey Association
The North Metro remains firmly under the ownership of the Anoka Hockey Club who has now won 4 straight titles. Plymouth had their best season in club history winning 18 games and finishing in second. Brooklyn, Medina, & Maple Grove made up the middle of the pack with Corcoran finishing last for the fourth time in their four year history.



St. Croix Hockey League
The St. Croix was a two team battle between the defending co-champions with White Bear Lake and Stillwater finishing over 20 points clear of the next best club. The White Bears would walk away on top, punching their ticket to the playoffs for the 5th time while Stillwater is left on the outside looking in despite finishing just 2 points behind their rivals. North St. Paul, Hudson, & River Falls were all decent and finished right around .500 while Hastings and New Richmond struggled to get in the winners column.



Twin Cities Hockey Association
The TCHA was by far the most talented league in the south region, perhaps in all of the MAHL, with many teams considered among the best in the state. It’s only fitting then that the best of the best would be Mill City. The winningest team in Twin Cities history has clinched the Washburn Cup for the 13th time along with the Pennant as they bested the 3rd place St. Paul Athletic Club in all three of their meetings this year. Finishing 2nd and earning a spot in the playoffs as the lone non-champion participant this season is Powderhorn who are returning to the playoffs for the third time in club history. Como Park and Calhoun Isles tied for 4th while Minneapolis and East Side finished one point apart in 6th and 7th. Rose was the last club to reach double digit wins with South St. Paul, West St. Paul, & the Phoenix Athletic Club rounding out the league with losing seasons.



West Metro Hockey Association
The West Metro was Richfield’s to lose, holding the top spot in the standings for three quarters of the season before it all fell apart in the end. An 8 game winless streak to end the season saw the Tigers blow their lead and fall behind Edina Athletic who swooped in to take home the Hennepin Cup for the third year in a row. There were basically three tiers in the WMHA this year with the aforementioned Edina and Richfield in the top tier while West Minneapolis and Chaska made up the middle tier with St. Louis Park on the bubble while Shakopee sat as the league’s basement dweller.
