And then ends up in District 6 for spring/summer HP. Yeah, if he did that makes sense because those go by residence. I've seen several goalies playing out of state at the 54 event so they must have access based on where they live. This tracks how other Districts run their Player Development program...

What's also interesting in all of this depending on how you look at it is that everyone seems to be double dipping. Meaning they are all signed up for the same stuff and in doing so essentially means they are going to miss half of the sessions because they are also attending something else. So, you...

Curious what departures drop Edina down to 7, since it seems like they're the last team left with returner question marks. Either way, I'm not against a team with elite defense and goaltending that'll win a lot of games 1-0 and 2-1. Feels like the kind of team Giles loves to have in February and Ma...

Ummm… Are the hornets going to be THAT bad? 😂 No, Edina at 16 is clearly delusional. Most teams would kill to have as much returning. Tucker Johnson, Bode McConnell, Alex White, Dylan Dubuc, David Varecka, Sam Peckham, Brady Peterson and Brady Mullman played on the state Bantam champs in 2023 and l...

Why was Suter up in Moorhead anyways? After Dallas, the fam said f it and didn't go to STL and instead settled on a one year lease in Moorhead?? He lived with Matt Cullen and played for the Spuds Bantam team that won state. It is very hard for kids to participate in high-level youth hockey while th...

Yep, 4-3 in OT. Ox were up 3-1 with 3 minutes left, Little Caesars scored two extra attacker goals, one was 6 on 4, but Buttweiler cleaned up a rebound in OT. Championship will be against the Minuteman Flames, who the Ox beat in pool play. I'm sure a lot of snide speculation that Kesler's team spen...

Oh my gosh, did they beat them! So good. They appeared unbeatable. I saw them a few time.

(1) My point was the CHL became a more viable option for many players it wasn't really an option for in prior years. (2) As far as numbers being numbers my guess is you will see some solid expansion in the college hockey ranks. With the BIG 10 adding PAC 10 schools I could certainly see USC, UCLA, ...

Thanks! I've noticed Minnesota teams are doing well.

I don't think this is a one answer fits all scenario but do see more and more US players (Mn players included) heading to the CHL but only time will tell. Sure, but there are only so many spots. Malachi McKinnon & Poul Anderson are having great years for Sherwood Park. Why weren't they on Fargo...

Does the fact they no longer lose their D1 eligibilty change this at all? Sounds like a great spot to go develop for someone who wants to play D1 No. It doesn't change that. While a player is still NCAA eligible, my understanding is that teams in the CHL still expect a multi-year commitment. Time w...

Wow. CHL is really good at identifying the best players in the world, and better at chewing up the rest. Seems like a race to nowhere. What's the rush.

Not posted last I checked. Players seem to know before it goes public.

Edina—The Hornets skated six defensemen this year and return four, although at state Giles generally played just four, two of whom graduate. Other than the ever present possibility of early departures, replacing these two players is Edina’s biggest challenge for next year—and that’s not much compar...

Almost all of Shakopee's best players are juniors or younger. Prior Lake had a very good Bantam team last year and those players showed promise as sophomores. You're right; they'll be decent.

Interesting discussion pertinent to the thread subject assessing each team's chances of winning this year's state tournament. You cannot win unless you recruit?…..? Forget hockey, it's a real small-town mindset to think kids will remain in the same school district K-12. Communities in Minnesota are...

Rogers was left off the odds list. Did they get intimidated by Edina and forfeit? :lol: Rogers: "We bow down to thee green, white, and gold. We shall concede our contest and journey back to the homeland." Thank you for catching that. I placed them at 10:1. An oversight or typo. Anyone won...

#8 - Forward - Jr - Tristan Wassengeso #8 played for Chaska HS last year. Wow, impressive work compiling that list! Minor point, but for accuracy Tristan Wassengeso played for a Sioux Falls Power midget team last season. The prior year he was a freshman on Chaska's Varsity and even played games aga...

5:2 Moorhead
4:1 Stillwater
6:1 St. Thomas
6:1 Shakopee
7:1 Edina
10:1 Rogers
50:1 Lakeville South
50:1 Andover

as players in those days sometimes earned college offers based entirely on play at the state tournament. This is a great point. Recruiting budgets in college were very small. A solid player from a top program was usually afforded more opportunity post high school than many top players on programs b...

I have been too busy to share my thoughts in writing and will be sure to post it here when I get around to it in the coming days.

8 bucks is amazing! Granted, the favorites won. But still. Impressive.

That would be like trying to enter on February 19th.

I'll update results here. Most everyone still in, with a likely outcome where multiple tickets have all eight and it comes down to the lowest cost.
