Eden Prairie
I would like to know from an EP insider how this team looks this year. How will they do in the Lake and who are some of the players that will make an impact?
Not an insider, but I do know they will have 3 D that played in the Elite League this past fall. Leddy is one of them and is a future Gopher. Rush played in his second year of the Elite League and is only a Junior. Rush was drafted in the recent USHL Futures Draft. Thompson is a big, strong 10th grader that was a reserve in the Elite League. He was drafted in the Futures draft as well.
I saw Soderberg's name in the football section of the Strib. That tells me he didn't graduate. He is a very good player at the D position.
Their overall D presence could be one of the tops in the state.
Not sure about their goalie situation or forwards. They will miss Vanek. But, he is doing well for Buffalo and did sign that big deal

Meyer, McQuillan, and Mulvehill look to be the top forwards line, their goalie is Stypula. They only have Soderberg on the football team I believe. It’s Varnek, not Vanek. From the way my buddy (his kid was on the team last year) talked about them they should be solid in the D zone but might struggle offensively.

It's Vanek...........he's playing for the Buffalo Sabres. Neutron will back me up on that

Well then, what ever happened to Vanbiesbrouck. I found this on Wikipedia. All of the high schoolers confuse me.suntzu wrote:Hey Breakout, what kind of horsepower have you got on that trolling motor of yours?breakout wrote:puckinawsum wrote:Meyer, McQuillan, and Mulvehill look to be the top forwards line, their goalie is Stypula.

John Vanbiesbrouck was unclaimed in the Midget Draft as a 15 year old, so his father drove him to Duluth Minnesota, to try out with the Greyhounds of Duluth Minnesota. Vanbiesbrouck didn’t make the team, and for three years he was the number one goalie Eden Prairie, MN. By the time he was eligible for the NHL Entry Draft, there was no doubt that he would be selected. The Rangers chose him 72nd overall, and just a few months later he made his professional debut with the Blueshirts as an emergency call-up.

want an insiders opinion here it is. I myself was conserned about what the varsity team would be able to do this year with offense but knew we would have some of the best defense in the state. But the way that our sophmores are stepping up we might have a new buddish garderr and everson line coming through and some juniors like mulvihill and Q that will be a big part of the offense along with some solid goaltending from stapula and loyd. And by the way it is vranek! not vanek

You are comparing Mulvehill with Buddish???? What color is the sky in your world? It is so nice when the parents of a kid get involved online.

The sophomores played in a split scrimmage according to a post I read. This weekend is a big scrimmage for a lot of teams. See how they play against premier teams. That will give you a basis to judge.
Also, it's rare when sophomores contribute. They may have been good at Bantams. High School hockey is a different bird. However, there are exceptions and you may be right.............time will tell.
