Re: AA

1a. Hornet
1b. Andover
3. Blake
4. Skipper
5. Trojan
6. NWC
7. Forest Lake
8. Eagles (Eden Prairie)
9. Brainerd
10. Maple Grove

Honorable Mention: Breck would be 3b. in this poll. They are going to be pretty good and despite their goalie being gone will destroy the field in "A".

Re: AA

Great to have sotagirlshockey.com back this season. They are excellent and worth a follow on twitter or thru the website.

Re: U18 roster for festival

I dont know Theile but there are imo 2 F, 1 D, and 1 G that one could argue could be on that squad. I think that the D & G are the best fit and if there is an injury or something happens to someone would not be surprised if one of them might get the call to join the squad. I think that the D wil...

Re: U18 roster for festival

No shot. They might win 1 game that is stolen by your favorite goalie (and mine of the 2 listed) 1-0 but would probably lose every game by 3+ goals.

Re: Andover vs Edina

Before you guys anoint this as the game of the decade let's not forget that there are a few other teams that might have a say in this year before the season end specifically Brainerd and Forest Lake. They tied 2-2 over the weekend. I'll take Andover 5-4 as it is the first game of the year and ther ...

Re: Andover vs Edina

No shot that there is 8 goals in the game unless 6 of them are from the Hornet jg. The finely oiled machine that is the mighty hornet power play + the next great boys - girl tender * ** *** is the difference in this game.

Re: 2020 Ms. Hockey discussion

Not much of an argument from me on 6 of the last 8 Ms. Hockey's. No argument on Zumwinkle, Baldwin, Cameranesi, Brandt, Heise, or Wethington. Cant argue with their HS resume's, their Sr year statistics and impact, USA Hockey contributions, and college careers (thus far). I think that one could const...

Re: 2020 MS Goalie

Just want to add my opinion that both Bothun and Vetter are the 2 best goalies in the state (goalies that I have seen plenty of to have a legit opinion) right now and specifically for their grades. One goalie not mentioned here is Corniea. She is really good too. Vetter > Bothun (but its close...) >...

Re: 2020 MS Goalie

It is unfortunate that many of these girls are playing boys. I absolutely get why they do it and I do not blame them for their decision. They have their eyes on the next prize which is Division 1 hockey and also USA hockey (national team stuff). I believe that there is at least a couple of reasons. ...

Re: Elite league

Black beats White tonight 2-0. Shots pretty even when all said and done. Opinion alert...Black was the better team with better chances in the 1st and 2nd period and White gave a big push and had better chances in the 3rd until a couple of penalties with under 4 minutes to go. I believe goal #1 was s...

I was not surprised by the dominance of the Elite colors. I was a little surprised by the 1-1 tie of U19-Black with the Dallas Stars. What happened there?

Re: Elite league

Black handled Grey pretty easily Tuesday night. Should set Grey up to be ready to kick some tail this weekend.

I am excited to see how all of the colors do against all of those teams that are traveling in for this weekend. I see teams from Cali, Dallas, Canada, and other places have games scheduled.

I absolutely may be wrong but I do not think that Skelton is at NWC. I believe that it is another player from that team. She is elite and would absolutely make that team much more of a threat in the Lake Conference and sections. Skeltons moved to Monticello over the summer she is playing for NWC Gr...

Of course. We did not receive any calls from coaches in 9th or 10th grade. All calls were made by my kid after requests were made for her to call.

Re: Elite league

Heard thru a friend that the Grey team is pretty legit. About 1/2 of the squad played on the U19 white NAHA team + a bunch of other ballers. Red looks to be better than last year but with the best of the rest outside of U19 White/Black & U16 Grey (2020's & 2021's) they are going to be 3-6 go...
