Breck's four losses are to the #3 AA team (twice), the #1 (arguably 2 or 3) A team, and the #5 AA team on the day their coaches quit. None of those are bad losses. I don't think any of the teams you listed will be looking past them, and I would expect them to win a couple of those games.
If they win a couple of those games, they finish ....... 10-6 and are still the clear underdog in 5A to Chisago.
It'll be worth watching what the Gopher commits do after this season. They both have ready-made, top 5 in AA places to move to.

I was making a point about the respectability of this season, not the future. I agree they will be weaker next year (assuming everyone stays).
If those two do leave, Frost will have recruited a team that's the undisputed leader in the WCHA in terms of average number of high school teams played on per player... not sure if that's a terribly positive stat.
I also think the odds of those two kids going back to their original communities seems slim to me, but stranger things seem to happen in girls hockey in Minnesota on a weekly basis.

Does anyone have a theory on what happened, or if they'll be able to identify coaches to finish the season?

A good theory? He won the lottery, split it with his assistant coaches, and all are retiring to Belize.
A bad theory? There are multiple options based on an entire coaching staff leaving 3 weeks before the end of the season. None of them are good, and I suspect you can figure them out.
