I saw them at the Colesium in St. Paul a few days after the 7AA semi's and they were no where near the level of play the 7AA teams were at. I know this is a new season, but there was nothing I saw from Anoka last year to make me think they'd be a threat this year.
You also said this below about Tonka Which ended up 4-0 Skippers.

The one thing I'd like to know about Anoka, is if they make it to the DECC, can they bring 1500-2000 fans like East, CEC, and GR have the last 3 seasons. For the title game 2500 is the mark.

It's not what they bring up, it's what they take home

rapidsrapids...not sure what game you saw Anoka play last year at the Colesium...the win over Maple Grove or the OT loss to Blaine...but your comment above leads me to believe your a bit obtuse...is it deliberate?
They had 4 Elite League players this Fall, including one who committed to UMD this past June...they are a senior dominated team...enough said.
