This should be one of the most exciting seasons ever in 7AA with Duluth East likely being the Pre-Season #1 in the polls and Grand Rapids being a top 5 team in the state next year. Their rosters will look very similar from last season. Cloquet was in the bantam state tourney 2 years ago so they should be on the rise and Elk River's bantam team this year is ranked #4 in the state. The semi's and final at Amsoil should be even better next season, and the final between GR and East was the best atmosphere of any section playoff game I went to, Mariucci arena wasn't close for intensity though their games were entertaining.

Let's keep the 7AA talk in this thread.

I'm good w/that! STMA should add to &AA. They have very good youth teams right now. should be moving up over the next couple years.

[TheHockeyDJ]

I'm curious how good Elk River and Cloquet will be next season.

[old goalie85]

Our kids played the Lumberjacks twice. They had a 9th grader who was very good.

Karson Kuhlman I think is his name. I know he'll be back, but they have a lot to replace from graduation on that top line. Who will their goalie be?

I expect Elk River to be pretty good this coming year. I need to take a look at how much scoring they have returning (unless an ER person can enighten us), but they have a great Bantam A team, and teams with great Bantam A teams feeding in almost always have strong years. Preseason top 20.

Cloquet is in a bigger bind--they have to get Kuhlman some support. One or two strong players cannot make a team a section contender, especially when there are teams like DE and GR in the section. Forest Lake is in a similar situation.

STMA may be a threat in the near future, but I doubt they will be this coming year. Their PS2 ranking this past season was about on par with Cambridge, and their Bantam A squad is currently ranked somewhere in the 60s in the state. The PeeWees look to be the group to watch out for.

Over the next 4 to 6 years this section should be one of the strongest sections in the state.[I know what I set myself up for with that comment]

Elk River will be much improved this year. Last year ER had a small senior class. Jaremko will be much missed at D, but ER doesn't loose much scoring. ER will return 7-8 seniors and have a very talented group of sophomores who will contribute up front with a couple of very good scorers in Zerban, Springman and the young Jaremko. ER will return 3 solid D and 4 year starting goalie in Franke. They will very much be a threat for 7AA this year. The road goes thru Duluth, but there may be detour.

I got the Jacks at 2 so we are not far off there.

Probably will make the trip to GR on that Saturday.

Watched your football kids come over and get 'schooled'.
It was a good win for the Jacks as my fiancees 9th grader got some time onthe field.

Also, it is just the SLiCaB's that are restricted on this board!
