Re: A Rankings for 12/5/21

1. Hermantown I had the Hawks the clear number 1 to start the season at least a tier ahead of their closest competitor. It appears I had underestimated how good they would be. 2. Mahtomedi (+1) The initial preseason number 3 teams moves up a spot with dominate wins and a 1-3 loss against one of the ...

Bemidji 4, D East 3 in ot Has East ever started a season 0-4? Not counting the 2004-05 season when they forfeited their first five games of the season, it hasn't happened since at least 1968-69. My records don't go further back than that, so maybe Karl has better info than I have. Either way, this ...

Say what you will about Hermantown, but they don’t mess around when it comes to scheduling.

Re: Early preseason Top 20 for Single A - 2021

Not the strongest year in Class A. Hermantown is number 1 going away and I think the gap between them and the field is even larger than the one we saw last year with Hermantown/Gentry. I think the contenders for the 2-5 spots are not as strong as most years, but I would give Warroad and Mahtomedi wi...

Re: Alexandria to AA???

I was wondering if the HS numbers might push the Cardinals into AA this last cycle. So it could be a preemptive move if the programs see that as inevitable. I think I remember the Alexandria Youth program wanted to increase their competition level, so perhaps a move that may not necessarily be relat...

Re: 2021-22 Coaching Openings

Probably a good time in the East timeline for Mike to step down. He and the Hounds have had a nearly 3 decade long run of being one of the top teams in the State. It will be interesting to see where the program goes under a new regime.

Re: MN Hockey Hub Class A top 16 for 2021-2022

There is no point in ranking Dodge County, because Brody Lamb has about a 1% chance of returning. Breck also graduates a ton. Morgan and Theissen return on D, but the top two forward lines are all gone. It will be a rebuilding year (or two) for sure. The Class A landscape looks bleak for next seaso...

Re: State Single A Games 3-30-21 - Tuesday

I think "Potential" is the key word with EGF. They have the talent to compete with the # 1 and #2 seeds. The question I have is can they play to that potential? (which I think they struggled with at times the past two seasons). Their 4-8 record against "quality opponents" this season is a bit of a r...

Re: Section 8AA Class AA 20-21

Looking at returning varsity rosters, Roseau appears to be the preseason favorites. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see Moorhead number one at the end of the season. A senior heavy team kept almost all the sophomore class waiting in the wings on JV. And as mentioned, they bring in a very good Bantam ...

Re: Mahtomedi vs Warroad

Of the big 3 teams (Warroad, SCC, and Hermantown) I wondered if the Warriors might have trouble if their top line didn't produce and they played a team that had more depth. Not sure if that is how it is playing out as I am just tuning in.
