Hermantown 07-08
What does everyone think about Hermantown this year? With them moving out of 7A this year into 5A it seems like a whole new game. I know expectations are going to be high this year. I think It's going to come down to goaltending because they still have strong defense and a solid offense.

Bold statement to make in October. Especially considering the fact that Denfeld by no means has superior goaltending and/or defense.

Even though I would love to see Denfeld make a long awaited return to the state tourney I'm with boblee on this one - Denfeld has a lot to prove. The young guys are really going to have to step up to fill the voids of lost seniors. Hermantown will need the same out of their young guys. I'm looking forward to the start of the season!
The sophomore grade in hermantown is being rumored to be the best ever. Lots of talent every where and one young goalie opting to come up and try out for varsity instead of playing down another year will make the competion for goalie even more difficult. will they be as strong as last year? no. You can't replace huttel, hardy, leblanc, all in one year. but i would still pick them to win the section even this early but denfeld is every bit capable of pulling it off as well
believe in the hockey gods...
How did Hermantown get lucky enough to get moved to that section!! One competitor. Heard Jake Johnson is injured, bad knee, tore stuff, is he out for season, anyone know?Stealth wrote:Wouldn’t you say there is only two teams in the section 5A they are in?
Duluth Denfeld High School
Hermantown High School
is the new goalie Ampy (sp?)
So based on that angle should do ok.

I had heard he was hurt but I didn't know how bad it was. That would be a HUGE blow to Denfeld's chances. But everyone is forgetting one team and that's St Cloud Cathedral. They have some great coaching on that team and are ready to go come playoff time year after year. I wouldn't count them out of the section, especially not before the season has even started. Sauk Rapids could have a decent team this year as well. Tough to narrow it down to just Denfeld and Hermantown at this point.
From what i heard St. cloud had lost a lot of upper class talent. (so did hermantown but hermantown won state). As for sauk i think that they lost a really good goalie last year and i haven't heard anything about their back up. How good is st. cloud looking this year?fkahckyprofessor20 wrote:I had heard he was hurt but I didn't know how bad it was. That would be a HUGE blow to Denfeld's chances.

SCC may not be considered the front runner. However, I would not count them out as they seem to put together a quality every year. I think Schmidt may be recovering from an injury and wonder if he will be ready. Maybe someone from SCC could shed some light (Blanda or BG). Also, they had several players on an Elite II team. As for DD. If true, that is terrible news about JJ.

Jake Johnson will be fine... trust me on this one. He'll take this team places, but there are plenty of other high caliber players on this squad to help him out.ColdasIce wrote:How did Hermantown get lucky enough to get moved to that section!!
