I'd have to say Mike Lundin was one of the best D-men since 2000...a lot of people forget about him because he played out east at Maine, but he was amazing in High School! He is now playing regular shifts for Tampa Bay.

Niskanen isn't getting too much attention on this post and i want to know why?

3 years from graduating HS and a regular in the NHL. granted i believe Oshie and Lee could have probably done the same but come on give the ranger some props
believe in the hockey gods...

Get rid of Hjelle and put Kangas in his place, then I'd agree with you

You missed Stejskal from GR. Easily one of the best since 2000

Dylan Porter the kid gives it his all every shift and doesn't let anyone stop him he was just recently put in the hospital after his Elite 1 game and will be back right before the 07-08 season kicks off come down to rosemount and watch him you will be surprised. Atleast he's consistent.

Not trying to be mean Winter, but do you ever talk about teams or players that don't have to do with Rosemount? You know its ok to give your insight on other teams and not just talk about Rosemount the whole time.

People on this board can start to notice a person nonstop talking about one team and get annoyed by the fact they bring the team and its players up on almost all of the threads they post on, regardless of if the thread is started about another team, player, etc.

But that's just me...

Well that is my opinion I can name more people like Barnes, Maloney, Hendrickson but if you watched this kid you could see why I'm saying him he never gives up!

Gino didnt do that much in college and we will see if Sertich can make a name for himself at the next level... I agree that Gino was an all world forward and really the only reason Gway went to state...
are you slow in the head how can you say gino didn't do much in college

Really a shame we can't see any more of Jordan Schroeder from STA. The kid really had it all in one package as an 8th and 9th grader.
Guys like Shroeder and Oshie are what make Minnesota high school hockey such a joy!

Here are his stats. Not that great when you consider the hype he had during HS as well as what most other standouts were at the U....

Guyer:

Brian Bonin:

Ryan Potulny:

Here is the entire team in 04-05:
http://www.gophersports.com/ViewArticle ... LID=271555

He was a distant 4th on the team that year and never led the team in points throughout his career. He was awesome in HS, dont get me wrong but to say he was great in college is a bit off...


EDIT:
I also left off Johnny Pohl, Troy Riddle, Thomas Vanek and some others... Feel free to look at their teams throughout the early 2000's.

Josh Levine

Does anybody remember him? My goodness. Most underrated player in the state last year, in my opinion. He played all four years at varsity level, his freshman year at Benilde and his last three at Jefferson. As a freshman he racked up 12 points, 40 points as a sophomore, 50 some as a junior, and 50 some as a senior on a losing team. He is the fourth all time leading career pointman in Jefferson history and they have some pretty rich history. Oh, he also got a full ride to Princeton University. So, he is smart too.

I'll be the guy to throw Aaron Ness into the discussion, even though he's only played his freshmen and sophomore seasons.

Best HS player has to be Paul Martin. I think that would be unanimous if ER would have made it to state like they should have his sr. year so everyone could have watched him on that stage..... Oshie in a close 2nd.

I would agree with you espnmobile.

Levine has always been a powerfull player and it actually made me a little sad he didn't have a very good cast around him when he got older. He's always been skilled and FAST!
