Was anyone at the 15s/93s at the Super Rink? Did anyone stand out?
Abby Ness was one of the best players. She's the whole package.

I went and watched on Sunday. I was impressed with most of the District 2 team and the D5 and D6 teams. It seemed like they had some depth, but maybe it was the competition they were playing. Brandt was the best I saw. In a tryout like this I was expecting to see a lot of individual efforts. 3 shifts in a Row she carried the puck in the zone and gave up shots and made some spectacular passes to her linemates. ONe of the passes was a behind the back saucer pass that was so good that I think her linemate was in awe and couldn't get the shot off in time. I talked to her coach after the game and apparently she did that all weekend.
I don't know who they were, but the 2 top D from D2 were very good as well. One was very tall and and could really fly, the other was very quick, could turn on a dime and could make tape to tape passes like it was nothing.
As I was also impressed with the first line of D6, Samantha Reber was very very good. She is very tall and has a lot of range. I think her linemates were Mork from breck and Veil from Blake, all could flat out fly. Kuehl from mound was good as well from D5.
Of the goalies I watched I liked one of the D6 goalies, Friend? is her last name and looking at the roster Mckeever from woodbury was there, she is very good as well.

Your right on the money with Brandt incredible stick handling, creativity. Skating could use a little work but she is defiantly a game changer. The two D from D2 you may be referring to are Sam Hanson from WBL and Caitlyn Hewes from Stillwater. They were the top D that I saw also. The Hanson kid, your right, can flat out fly (when she wants to). Looked like she plays a little conservative, but then again no one got by her, very strong in front of the net. Hewes is nifty player, good stick handler, but can get pushed around. Both of them could break out of the zone with ease, very good vision. I concur with you on Ness, she was fun to watch, quick, elusive, nice player. Also from D16, Sylvester, big strong, fast fluid skater. D6 Reber, a little on the slow side but good hands, strong, smart player also Veil was impressive tenacious, highly skilled. Kruel from D5 was very good in the offensive zone. Great stick work, sniper shot. D8 had some strong D, Ryan, and Shaw I believe. McMillen, nice player, but from everything I’ve heard about her I was little disappointed. She played similar to Stauber from D12 can handle the puck and skate well, but too many errors and give always when pressured.
Lots of hard working and skilled 93 girls distributed throughout our state. There definately are some standouts and the evaluators will have an easy time picking the top 10 or so players. But from then on wasn't too much division between the players from the various districts, or the ones I had a chance to see anyway.

I agree. This will be a challenge for the evaluators. Alot of good players.
I thought the 92's were a strong group. This one might not be too far behind.

adv.15's/93's
Enough girls have already got their letters. The list needs to be posted now! If not, then there is talking and phone calls going on. It is better to just have the list out so EVERYONE can read it.

I am serious... if the list is on MN hockey. I am sure MN hockey is ok with EVERYONE seeing it. The players have the right to hear before us curious people on the message board do. Put yourself in a players skates, would you want to look on some blog to see you didn't make a team? Give it a few days. The camp isnt until JUNE we can wait.

These are hockey players...HOCKEY PLAYERS! You have to be physically and mentally tough, especially at the top level. If you emotionally can’t handle rejection …well you probably aren’t’ going to make it anyway. Don’t forget they are used to carrying (and swinging) very big sticks … They are use to elbows… and yes even fists to the head. Not to mention the nasty verbal assault that happen game in and game out. Give them a little more credit. I would think they can handle just about anything.
My only concern would be, how would someone (outside of USA/MN Hockey) have the list anyway?

Point still is, how long has the list been final? I'll bet the evaluators jobs were done Sunday night after the festival. Two weeks later, no list posted. Letters have been sent out. 16's and 17's had rosters posted much quicker. Why would anyone worry about the letter? Lots of "rosters" and info. is passed on by websites. The information is accurate and timely when posted by the organization. It still makes me wonder if some fine tuning isn't being done. Like you said, why would "sneach" have info. that is not available to the rest of us.
