Nanne is more talented than both of them. Fidler is probably having the best season of all three. Munson is good but not having as good of a year as either Fidler or Nanne in my opinion.puckbreath wrote:Breckhockey99 wrote:Glad to see that Sweet Lou voted for his grandson.
IMO, Nanne should not be a finalist.
If they need an Edina finalist, what about Fidler or Munson?
I agree.
I think if more of you had watched Nanne play this year you woudn't have a problem with him being on this list.
Maybe Fidler deserved it more but I expected one of them to make it and I was not gonna claim one got robbed either way.

AP puts up 4 big points en route to leading his team over one of the best in the state, Hermantown, 5-3! He was brilliant at creating scoring opportunities and setting up his linemates with 3 assists, his 1 goal was a nice tip on a slap shot from the blue line. Huge performance in a huge game.

2014 Mr. Hockey Finalists
Yon has been awesome since he was a Squirt he will have a great career at UND, theyre lucky to have him. Caompared to Nelson and the rest warrior41 he is very comparable but faster than all 3 and his shot is as hard as I have seen in HS hockey for 20+ years. Great player and even better kid congrats to him and his parents all of this is very deserving!!!!
I think its kinda hard to compare him to Forbert or Ausmus since they are both d-men.warriors41 wrote:I haven't seen him play so I'll have to refer to your judgement but how would you compare him to some other MN kids who have gone on to UND lately? Nelson, Forbert, Ausmus, etc?elliott70 wrote:Like my wife said,

He is and UND will be NCAA finalists until he leaves for the pros.

Yeah, I realized how it might be tough but I included them only because I couldn't think of more MN forwards who had gone to UND lately. At least none that I had the chance to watch personally.Sats81 wrote:I think its kinda hard to compare him to Forbert or Ausmus since they are both d-men.warriors41 wrote:I haven't seen him play so I'll have to refer to your judgement but how would you compare him to some other MN kids who have gone on to UND lately?

Danny Kristo comes to mind. How would he compare?warriors41 wrote:Yeah, I realized how it might be tough but I included them only because I couldn't think of more MN forwards who had gone to UND lately.

Kristo in my mind lacks the consistency and the work ethic needed to play in the show. His skillset is there but similar to how Jordan Schroeder was coming out of STA and the U, I believe he had/has an entitlement issue. Kristo is fast and has a nice stride and has a good, quick release.InYourFace09 wrote:Danny Kristo comes to mind.

Realize we are comparing a guy who is playing in the AHL to a HS kid(23-24 yr old to a 17-18 yr old) but my take on Yon is he is a highly skilled player with great hands and a wicked hard and accurate shot. He has been dominant throughout his youth and HS career and I only think that continues at Nodak. Hard to say now as a million different scenarios can happen but I think he will end up being a better college player than Kristo was (although Kristo was excellent at Nodak). Gophers missed big here.

Agreed. Yon also has more maturity than Kristo had pretty much anytime at ND.Sats81 wrote:Kristo in my mind lacks the consistency and the work ethic needed to play in the show.

Doesn't Novak live in Wisconsin even though he plays for St Thomas? Or did they move, I know he used to live in Wisconsin and even played for team Wisconsin B&A as a freshman..... Either way, can a Wisconsin resident player win MN Mr. Hockey?green4 wrote:I think if Tommy Novak stays around he might have something to say about that.ZachHalverson wrote:If Wahlin stayed for his senior year, I have no doubt in my mind that he would win Mr. Hockey.Sleepysteve wrote: Are underclassmen not eligible? I thought for sure Wahlin would at least by a finalist.
As for this year, it seems like it could go to a number of guys on this list.
I agreed with the post above about the problems the EP boys have had at winning big games so Im out on them. I don't see Nanne winning.
I put my vote down for Avery Peterson but I think Slattery will end up winning.

You know what we say to these kind of comments....
If you cannot figure it out I will hint ya'.....
Two words, four letters followed by three letters, probably with an exclamation point.
I knew adding that one line would get an arousal out of somebody.

I see the big man from Grand Rapids "AVERY PETERSON" winning Mr. Hockey this year. I definitely am a little biased, but he is a beast of all beasts at the high school level. He has SIZE, hands, leadership, speed, power, and the that little thing all elite players have that isn't taught "hockey instincts". I have seen a lot of high quality players go through the Grand Rapids program and I honestly believe Avery Peterson is the best forward Grand Rapids has ever put out. Not to metion he has a ton of upside at the next level(s). If he stays healthy and keeps developing each year, chances are he will be sporting a green and white jersey at the "X".Sats81 wrote:NHL, USHL scouts and D1 and DIII coaches.pipersniper12 wrote:Who votes/picks Mr. Hockey?

WOW The Best Forward GR ever put out? Have you been to the rink and looked at the list of NHL's up on the wall? Hobey Baker winners? Avery is a great kid and a good player but I wouldn't go putting him up against the greatest ever from that town.. I would put my GR senior year points up against his and I wasn't very goodpipersniper12 wrote:I see the big man from Grand Rapids "AVERY PETERSON" winning Mr. Hockey this year.

I agree with you Bvlle Hockey Guy. Has their been a MN Program who has produced more D1 talent? I would love to know the answer to that...
I do believe Aaron Miskovich is only Rapids player to win Mr Hockey...although if award was given away prior to 1985 I'm pretty certain that would be different....Bvlle Hockey Guy- in your opinion who is best to ever come out of Rapids? Probably hard to say, maybe a top 10 list?
