“Wisconsin might be getting better? Minnesota might be getting worse?” As I mentioned, I hope WI hockey is getting better. Hockey around the country is getting better and that’s a great thing. Some fun games between teams from neighboring states would always be welcomed. But I’ll argue your suggesti...

IGN, thanks for your informed assessment as to the competitiveness of these levels. Wisconsin has very many good players. Evidence is that their Elite League team is able to compete. Minnesota feeds six, however. No matter how you slice it there is still strong play in Minnesota. His initial post i...

Hudson is basically an East Metro suburb. I’m glad they’re doing well, but suggesting MN hockey is fading based on a 4 game sample wherein the MN teams they’ve beat are middle of the road (at best in Woodbury’s case, Mankato East could be a rising Class A team over the next couple years) as far as t...

They have a really strong first line, not sure about depth after that. But that top line could all be 50 point scorers this year.

KD a nice surprise over the weekend. Could be a trend or a mirage. Fun to watch his hustle and determination which seems to inspire others and is very much needed on Edina - just to turn that 'attitude' up a notch and really get after it with some 'grit'. KD wears #23 and initials are? Opposite of ...

I drove Zamboni part time a few years ago and saw quite a few junior gold games. Closer to Slap Shot than MNHSL. They actually shook hands before the game to avoid full team brawls they’d likely have if they shook after the game. I was so confused the first time I saw it. Hopefully it’s cleaned up s...

D East are the cake eaters of the north, so maybe this guy knows what he’s talking about. In that case, hope it’s Bulldogs. Better dead than red!

CC seems to be rebuilding their program thru a MN pipeline. They’ve picked up some strong commitments from MN the last few months.

Already like him a lot better! Any college would be happy to have a player like him, my guess is Bulldogs land him.

Is Proctor going to become the new Greenway after Greenway becomes the new Hermantown?

Both would be top 5 contenders if they play HS hockey this year.

"Additionally, Perbix said that his college team wanted him to play for the Gamblers, adding they are willing to let him play collegiate hockey as a true freshman pending a good season in the USHL." Not very good optics for the U, encouraging recruits to leave school and go to the USHL. N...

Perbix is an extremely talented player, he’ll be a very good college hockey player. Very happy he’ll be skating for the Gophers, congrats to Jack!

What is wrong with metro high school hockey? Disliking Chaska is bizarre. I think they will be a great story this season and have their best team ever. Agreed. Chaska has been a doormat for most of their history. They’re a great team to root for this season for anybody who likes the underdogs. By m...

Solid player but young so time will, as always, tell if he pans out. Absolutely love seeing a Kennedy kid commit though!! I don’t know what’s in the pipeline for his supporting cast in next couple of years, but would be awesome if he stayed at least a year or two longer and hopefully give them a ch...

Is Bob Utecht the guy who started Let’s Play Hockey magazine? If so, then he 100% has to be included. If not, then whoever did deserves that recognition.

Congrats to Joe! He was a great player and leader on Tonka’s state championship team!

Ryan Poehling didn’t exactly set the world on fire his first season at SCSU but he ended up as a late 1st round pick, 25th overall I believe. He played 35 games as a freshman, and it’s important to consider it was under Bob Motzko, as BB also will be. If BB ends up playing 35 games and puts up the ...

Did Bjugstad? I could have sworn he played through his senior year at Blaine. That is correct, as he was Mr. Hockey in 2010. I'm 99% sure Bjugstad's deal was he competed in his "senior" high school season during what should've been his junior year at Blaine. So he then played for the Goph...

I know it’s super uncommon for a kid to accelerate HS and play college hockey during what should be their senior year of HS. Some went on to college hockey success and beyond, maybe not all.. I can only think of a few examples off the top of my head: R Poehling, Bjugstad?, J Schroeder?, T Boyd?, Nes...

Any word on who the new coach at Burnsville will be?

“Beginning of the end” might be a stretch, but the beginning of a decline is certainly possible - so if that’s what you meant I totally agree with you. I can see them following the path of the Richfield, then Kennedy, and now Jefferson, as programs that were once dominant but who’s time in the sun i...

Congrats to Burnsville Depends who they get as a replacement I suppose. Everyone I’ve spoken with who has been coached by Janne speaks highly of him. My son has attended camps he’s coached at and has really enjoyed them. He was a longtime coach at Burnsville, which in this day and age is becoming l...
