Rosemount had a good team a couple years ago with Jake Ratzlaff, if I recall correctly. Went on to play football at Wisconsin and is switching to the hockey team there. Or last I heard.
Ratzlaff is now with the Tommies, and has played in 15 games so far this year...

Re: 2023 Elite League Rosters

A large NIL was involved. Details? I don't know these details on this player. However.... Michigan State has a huge NIL collective for its athletes and recruits. Two alums--Mat Ishbia and Steve St. Andre--are funneling millions into a collective (legally, I might add) to pay Spartan athletes. Ishbi...

Re: 2023-24 season Early departures

A little bit off topic, but can our section 7A friends pls comment on Victor Plante likely status for next fall ? I would venture to guess it depends on whether his dad is still with the Blackhawks next season I'd think it would also have to do with whether Zam is at UMD. The family still has the h...

It's been a decade since we've seen a single game performance like this in the AA state tourney. Spehar just tweeted that Bump DM'd him and said he wanted to match his the 3 hatties in one tourney...

Would guess he'll play before/after with either the Steel (USHL) or Wilderness (NAHL)?
