Nothing against the kid from what i hear he is a great person, i just think that if we want to down size this list Matt Leer should be removed. He is just plain not that good. Yes he's a wrecking ball on the ice but he is a bad skater, and in my eyes Mr. Hockey in our great state should be able to skate circles around most people. Just my 2 cents.
I agree with his removal from the list.

However, I love his style of play. The kid is a great role player. Tough, intimidating and physical. Hate to play against him. Would love to have him on my team.
Okay, one more nomination from a poster with over 500 posts and Leer's gone.

I vote we keep Leer and get rid of a poster with over 500 posts. :P

I agree with adding Hendrickson

Has a Junior ever won the deal? Are they eligible? I am guessing not, but I don't know.

No. No. Your guess was correct.

He can play with the best of them, and is still getting better everyday. He works his butt off and he has a snipe that will give him ginos everytime. He is not the biggest as guy weight wise but he plays like he is huge and never gives up on plays. so that is my sleeper from the south if you wanted to know.
I hate crap like this. If was going to be a candidate for Mr. Hockey, you shouldn't need to give us his bio as if it were an application ...

I understand the concept of the whole Mr. Hockey award, but just to throw out a question... Why do they only restrict the award to seniors and not to the best player in the league like other great trophies in other leagues like the Hobey and the Heisman?

Aaron Ness has recieved more attention than any other player in the MSHSL. The color commentary acted like the kid was the next Crosby at the state tournament. Not saying he is, but the hype the kid gets should be up for something. Or am I missing the concept of the award?

From what I understand, the award is for top senior.

I would guess that Ness will be gone playing somewhere else when he is a senior. Of course, that is only a guess.

i know ness and youso and mueller and all the edina and holy angels kids are good, but I have heard from several people that the sacchetti kid is supposed to be head and shoulders above the rest as far as talent and NHL potential. Seeing that he was drafted in the 2nd round and he still has a year left in high school he must be good. He's my pick.

Sacchetti will be playing full time in the USHL this coming season. Unless they start voting for seniors from MN in that league, he won't be eligible. :wink:

It could be an incentive to NOT leave for the USHL. Personally, I like it the way it is.

Why would a kid stay there final season for a Mr. Hockey award? It "could" be an incentive, but highly doubtful. Granted, it is a very prestigious award given to great players, but no one kid will forgo their their option to play juniors, just for the Mr. Hockey Award. (don't get into an argument about playing juniors vs. high school) They should make it like the Hobey. Make the award that much more meaningful... give it to MR. Hockey and not Sr. Hockey.

Mr. Hockey is for the seniors. Leave the All State teams and Star Trib player of the year to all players.

And it's not like this debate hasn't come up before. Mr. Hockey is and always has been just for the seniors

The award was around long before the USHL/NTDP trend really became a big threat so I don't see that as being a legit reason.

I have no issue with Mr. Hockey being only for seniors. Besides, the award isn't quite what it used to be in terms of prestige given how a decent number of the best candidates over the last five years or so have been leaving the state early for other playing opportunities.

If some people are worked up about including all classes, they should focus more on the AP Player of the Year since that ignores what class a player is in.
