Here's my attempt at this little ranking exercise. I'll go ahead and rank all the way to 20, because why not torture myself. 1. St. Cloud Cathedral 2. Hermantown 3. Mahtomedi 4. Warroad 5. Thief River Falls 6. Orono 7. East Grand Forks 8. North Branch 9. Alexandria 10. Duluth Denfeld 11. Greenway 12...

Greenway? Unless I’m missing something, I don’t believe the Raiders’ roster will be completely decimated.

Dang it, now I will have to get my rear in gear and respond with my own version!

Let’s hope Elite League goalie selection is more accurate this year . As far as I know, the only two 2018-19 season goalies that have already officially made their junior teams for next season are Boynton and Howe , neither of which played in the elite league last year . They were teammates on the ...

What’s the word on Connor Mahony? Is he at BSM?

Blake

Oh for crying out loud, talk about the rich getting richer. I’d set the line for the Breck/Blake games this season at about Blake -4.5 goals. Blake’s IMAC games will be ugly.

Strong depth in this group, maybe not the star power with the senior class compared to last year. Also, a correction, Syverson at Holy Angels will be a junior, not a senior. OK to your question, not sure how legit is defined, but I would view it from the lens that a guy can control a game singlehan...

I wouldn’t say weaker. But overall less star studded and Brimsek is definitely up for grabs. It would be interesting to know how many games they played, who they played, and how many shots they faced (especially if they were backups the year before or split time). It would be interesting, but I thi...

GR has a schedule that will prepare them well come 7AA playoff time

If I am not mistaken, it is the exact same lineup of teams as last year. That final stretch starting with HM is brutal. Rapids could (and should) be much improved as a team, but still fail to crack .500 during the regular season.

Josh Weyandt Of Chan is often underrated / unnoticed. he was .915 in mshsl season last season. ,and over . 93 among the leaders in elite league last fall, Good call, Westy. It’s hard to tell sometimes with goalies on lesser teams like Chanhassen. They see a lot of rubber and don’t always have the b...

I wanted to move this post forward and see who are considered to be the top returning goaltenders for the upcoming season. Evaluating goalies is definitely not my forte, so I’ll start by listing the top ten returning starters by save percentage. I realize it’s an imperfect metric, but it is better t...

Besides , Blake home ice is on the Hopkins campus 🤔 The school is across the street from Parade Stadium, Parade Park & Parade Ice Garden. Sure looks like a home game. Honest question. So Blake high school (grades 9-12) is on the Northrup campus next to Parade...Why not play high school games there?...

Awesome for Blake. Basically adjacent to the campus. I was a year early getting so excited about them for 2019. Pretty sure they'll be a top team 2020.

Bite your tongue there, good sir. I will not stand for the denizens of this board heaping praise upon my dastardly foes of yore

Brainerd last weekend with an early one: Bracket play: 1. Holy Angels 2. Bemidji 3. STMA 4. Brainerd 5-8. East Ridge, Alexandria, St. Cloud and Roch Lourdes (think in that order) All teams were missing some key guys/returners and playing some new young guys. Game of the weekend was STMA v Holy Ange...

Since I am in procrastination mode, here is a compilation of the Minnesotans taken in the 2019 NHL draft. I also included their Central Scouting midterm and final rankings among North American skaters (or goalies, for Haider), along with college commitments. Bobby Brink, No. 34, Philadelphia Flyers ...

The MSHSL’s rules are very specific about transfers and eligibility. The one that families seem to manipulate is the residence change rule. The rule applies to all schools in the state – private, public and even those not in the league (SSM). A kid’s whole family has to move to a residence outside ...

How would a player transfer back to his original school and be eligible? I know people play the fake residence game - but this is a bit visible for the general public. Would the family have to change their residence back to St. Cloud? The change in residence rule is only marginally applicable to pr...

Hearing from a good source that Motzko is indeed going back to SCC. Motzko, the next Kittleson? I hope not, that is sad stuff to watch. GB I’m not sure why that would be sad. We are talking about a kid who was forced to move away from his high school due to a parent changing jobs. Being uprooted li...

Will Larson should get a good look for them as well. I believe he came back to Andover after a great freshman year with TG Larson was actually a transfer to Andover. I’m not sure if there was a family move or if it was open enrollment, but he played for Cambridge-Isanti through 8th grade. What is h...

Wes Swenson will play for Andover., my guess Will Larson should get a good look for them as well. I believe he came back to Andover after a great freshman year with TG Larson was actually a transfer to Andover. I’m not sure if there was a family move or if it was open enrollment, but he played for ...

#-o Why is Irondale joining the SEC? It's time to get rid of conferences and just play an independent schedule like Duluth East. Why does any team change conferences? Geographic proximity, more appropriate level of competition across all sports (not just hockey), maintaining rivalries, etc. Pointin...

IMO - The Braccini kids will 100% both be back. Jake (and Tyler) could very well do before and afters. Dad Bryan is very protective (I don’t say that in a negative way as he is a USHL alum) in what they do. When Jake was the 6th overall pick by then Bloomington in the phase 1 draft a few years ago ...

Hearing him and his brother may play before and after with St. Cloud Blizzard. Did you hear that Stang? Yes, one of the two people I talked to did mention the Blizzard. The relocation is convenient with St. Cloud being a short trip from Buffalo (or Hanover). I’m sure the Blizzard would welcome them...

Good investigation Stang! You obviously carried all your contacts out to the 5280! Happy to hear Jake will be back Last saw him in the 8AA semis against STMA. Huge crowd at Buffalo. We happened to sit by Nathan Muellers mom and grandma at center ice. Saw HockeyonFire there also as I recall. Danny R...
