Top forward lines?
Last year, I wrote a story on the top forward lines in the state...and will be doing something similar in the next few weeks before Christmas. Since this is such a knowledgeable hockey board, I'd be curious to see what kind of nominations y'all have? I know it's still early and things have yet to develop, but it would be interesting to see what everyone thinks from what they've seen/heard thus far.

top lines
Brecks top line is tough to beat no matter what class they are in. They would be a top line on arguably any team in the state.

Knight, Dietzler and Herbert...Bloomington Jefferson
These three didn't start the first game together but were reunited about half way through the game.

Excellent candidates! I'm going to see Benilde tomorrow night and will check out Steinhauser-Horn-Patterson and see if they're together. If so, that ought to be a top contender, as well.
And are Bjugstad, Tufte and Scheid going to play together for Blaine? That would also be a top unit. Or will they be split up with maybe Brodzinski thrown in there on the top line?
Warroad has Nelson and Hebel as 2/3 of a terrific line. Who's getting the nod to go with them?
St. Thomas Academy and how they divide up their top two lines will be interesting, as well. Gavin, Schroeder, Isackson, Reid, Crandall, etc.
Lots of possibilities.

Thats a hard question to answer sometimes. Will a coach have his best three forwards on the same line. Then again, will they go with a balenced line approach between the top two lines.dueling21 wrote:Excellent candidates!

STA will be a good example of this, with Issacson, Crandell, Schroeder, Reid, Kroska, Gavin and Kreiger. I don't think that any of these 7 forwards are similar in thier style/strengths, yet in many ways, several are interchangeable. There are several different possible line combinations that a coach could end up with and it may not be the best 3 forwards on the same line.

Re: top lines
Arguably, not any team as that would not be the case at STA this year. Possible a couple of other teamssouthernmnscout wrote:Brecks top line is tough to beat no matter what class they are in. They would be a top line on arguably any team in the state.

I know this asks for top forward lines but I have to point out my hometown Powerplay unit that is the most dangerous in the state, in my bias opinion.
Herbert, Dietzler, Knight at forward.
Pauluk, Faust as Defense.
You might as well just trade a goal for the two minutes and then gain more time 5 on 5 because they will work you.

There isn't much that you may have heard about (because they haven't had experience/exposure), but the is talent there.starmvp wrote:Herbert's line is solid, not much after that though
Ryan Siiro, Junior, has 5 goals (tied for top among the team) and 2 assists. That isn't bad considering the only guys ahead of him are Pauluk, Dietzler, and Herbert.
Johnny Roisum, another Junior, has 1 goal and 5 assists coming in right after Siiro on the team for points.
I didn't expect much depth out of Jefferson, and there is obviously a lot of season yet to be played, but I have been pleasantly surprised so far.

Top Lake Conference
The EP's 1st line of Rau, Rogge and Ericson needs to be in this mix,espnmobile8 wrote:There isn't much that you may have heard about (because they haven't had experience/exposure), but the is talent there.starmvp wrote:Herbert's line is solid, not much after that though
