Don't quote me on it, but if I recall in year's past it was done prior to the state tournament.

I thought it was small??? Same list on girls side would be twice as long? I don't follow girls hockey. Do they have two classes? If you combined the college commits from the single A tournament would it be as many as the girls have? Well the list above has a kid from Totino-Grace on it so it does l...

The biggest question mark about him, is how will he do if he's separated from Strand. The very few times he has been, haven't been pretty. I have a feeling it won't matter this time though. Anyone know if he's going straight there, or juniors ? Juniors. UND is a young team this year (4 seniors) and...

guessing you haven't seen him play a single game? Logging onto hockeydb doesn't make you an expert, stats don't tell the whole story, plus can kids ever just have some time to develop at a new level?

Disagree with comments on BCHL. Great league with a much more wide open style of play. My son played in NAHL and BCHL. BCHL is a slightly younger league - much like the USHL - but overall much better than the NAHL. Two second/third liners from his BCHL team left mid season and became first/second l...

Somebody had the fairy dust spread all over them in the finals. Tough loss for the Denver goalie, with three goals allowed and not one of them was legit. The last one was legit. 8) From the goalies perspective, the original shot never made it to him. It was deflected right to Frattin from the traff...

I wish all of the successful schools in A would move up. It's a pretty dull tournament on the whole. I'm sorry but I completely disagree with this rationale.

Given the fact this list is just North American players, I doubt Rau will climb the ladder come draft time.
