That sounds like a bunch of Hooey
If it were true he would have skated with Denfeld
He did play with Marshall... to get some ice before the USHL.

Some earlier rumors posted on here about Clafton (GR) and Richels (Blaine), any further info on those (or others)?
I heard Richels will be heading to Waterloo in the next few weeks to workout with the team, so things are still up in the air

Banished? What the heck would a high school hockey coach be throwing out the “I banish you” words. That’s not the language of a high school hockey coach/leader/mentor for our kids is it? I can’t believe Coach would “banish players” high school kids....
Alec Baer already forgotten.
For going to watch a CHL game :roll:

It'll go somewhat quiet for the next month or so before anything becomes more official, any significant rumors of players who are expected to be facing a decision?

Forwards Logan Anderson and Jacob Jeannette leaving East for the USHL. Reported by Rick Weegman in the DNT today. East hadn't suffered from the early departure virus in a while.

Yeah, on the surface, it appears they will struggle to score goals. We'll find out if Coach Mike has a rabbit up his sleeve.

Clearly they just lost their 2 best returning players. Andover AGAIN is favored to break the TC Metro 7AA curse ☝️

ER clearly choked in 2015 (2017 too for that matter) But your team hasn’t WON a State Title in going on 22 years, so I wouldn’t get to haughty 😉

Hill Murray announced their captains for next year and Oberle is not one of the four. A little suspicious.
Any info on where he is going?

When hasn’t he a rabbit up his sleeve? He seems, year in and year out, to be successful with what he has....without a doubt there are programs who lose kids and fall in disarray, often for years. East, Hill-Murray, Edina, Blaine, and Eden Prairie....to name some...seem immune to this, at least long term.

I dont know about East this year. I know Mike does some amazing work getting his kids up for the tournament, but East has barely slid past Andover these past two years, and they do not have the returning firepower that they had last year. If those leaving had stayed, it would still be a tough fight to get through Andover. I just dont see it happening this year, which is sad because I always enjoy seeing them go down to the X. Big student section with lots of noise.

I don't know that it has been mentioned. Austen Humphrey was the 3rd overall draft pick by the St. Cloud (nee Brookings) Blizzard and will most likely not play for Elk River this winter.

Do we know for sure that Flammang & Laylin are returning to St. Michael/Albertville? I don't think I saw them on rosters for the Elite League.
Be kind. Rewind.

I believe Laylin is doing before and after with the Magicians. I'd assume Flammang is doing the same.

Very doubtful that either Michaelis or Humphrey are with the Elks this winter.

EL just says can’t do both in Fall

Muck , I think hsel likes them to do one or the other . Last time someone played a full elite season then left for juniors right afterwards was an unnamed kid from Bville. Left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths since Hsel is ostensibly designed to keep kids in Hs

AlCloseShaver or Hockey59 - any insight on Zach M plans?

It'll definitely be an adventure of a season at East, with basically one returning skater who played varsity the entire season last year. There isn't much in the way of can't-miss D-I talent here, and while the program depth will keep them respectable, these youth teams weren't remarkable either (even at younger levels when they were intact...though JV did have a very strong year last season).

That said, I do think Mike does some of his best work when he sometimes doesn't have his biggest collections of front-end talent (and related expectations and egos). This season will test that to the max. The section is somewhat forgiving, too...Rapids is on the rise but we'll see just how far, Cloquet will be good but Langenbrunner leaving is a far bigger blow than Jeannette or Anderson, and Andover is great but has to win a game at Amsoil. A title defense isn't out of the question quite yet.

There are lots of research showing how a student leaving high school a semester early to participate in spring practice shows more harm than good. Phillip Nelson may be the poster child of this in Minnesota high school football. When you get to hockey most of the “research” comes from USA hockey which is administratively biased against the MSHSL. And of course biased to their leagues.

As for Duluth East, one year is not a trend. Nor is two or even three. Playing I. St Paul in March is far better than playing a NH3HL, or for the most part in NAHL team.
