They well only get better next year if nobody leaves early and if they find any sort of a decent goalie watch out but goaltending could be the death of the team.

Looks like Blace Tomberlin from Hibbing will be joining the Senior Class at Rapids.

The league has changed significantly from now to two years ago. Sammy Walker’s Team Southwest was stacked with a guesstimate of 10-14 D1 kids when all is said and done plus a handful of draft picks. NW was really good with a few NHL picks and plenty of D1 kids. Heck, SE had Jensen, Christy boys etc. The only team that was done wrong was CCM.

You look at the teams now- I think it seems much less ...impressive. Maybe it’s just me

I’ll take these northern 218 hockey boys over the EGF North Dakota area boys.
