from what I've seen at Edina, Jordahl stood out to me. Seems like he is not getting enough attention for the outstanding plays he makes to Hurley and Malmquist!!!!

Eagan's Will Merchant, anybody who watches this team with any regularity knows that Zajac gets most of the hype but Merchant is this team best player. He is very fast, niffty hands and a strong shot and has good size to go with all of the skill. He for some reason doesnt seem to be getting much attention but whoever ends up with him will be getting a complete player.

I watched the DE / STA game and Alex Johnson stood out. Rarely hear anything about that kid but he appeared to be one of the better kids on the ice that day.

I also think Sam Rothenstein (spelling?) is pretty strong player from Minnetonka that does not get enough credit.

I agree Merchant is a fabulous player. I have only seen him play 3 times (twice last year and once this year)

Sam Rothstein has been an impact player on Minnetonka since his sophomore year.

I concur both underrated

Sam Majka from Wayzata. Not a pure goal scorer but plays with passion and can hit, play defense, and do the little things. Pretty underrated.

i agree with this very much he is great at setting those two guys up, he is 3rd on the team in points i think, he just works super hard, also i think Parker Reno from edina on defense he does not have a lot of flashy moves or anything but he is a big strong kid that does not let many kids get by him

Agreed with both. Merchant is a game changer. Kid plays with a HUGE chip on his shoulder, and definitely deserves more respect. Rothstein is a great player too.

I've watched this kid a few times... Michael Fabie 6'2" 185 Sr at Minnehaha Academy. Weak hockey program, but this kid can flat out play.

From what I've seen, Mario Bianchi from Holy Angels is really a standout player that doesn't seem to get much credit for it. In my opinion he is a very high caliber player.

[quote="wblhcky24"]Thomas Delaney White bear Lake strong defenseman

He could be underrated, if he learned how play defense instead of forward and learned to pass the puck, and quit taking stupid penalties. Than he would be underrated

don't recall him getting tossed by him, the ref had to take him down to make sure HE didn't toss #29. Regardless, he lit that kid up several time during the game prior to the fight.
