graceful skaters/speedsters/biggest hitters
The skaters that are most effortless, fluid, beautiful, or whatever you wanna term it.
I'm going with a less known name in David Graham. I think he played on Hill's D in '97. He just seemed to glide along rather beautifully.
Edit: Meant to include the other two categories too. Please add the team and year if it's not obvious.
Biggest hitters: Brendan Baker (Edina '08), Heinrich, and that kid from the Duluth Marshall around '06-07. The coach ended up pulling him for much of the championship game I believe cause he was taking so many penalties. I swear he joined the team just so he could hit people.

I can splash in the rink puddles!
I loved watching Mike Crowley (Bloomington Jefferson 1992-94). When he played, he was a man among boys.

Re: graceful skaters
I think Graham graduated in 98. They had a great d-core that year with Graham, Dave Tanabe and Zach Scribner.Nostalgic Nerd wrote:The skaters that are most effortless, fluid, beautiful, or whatever you wanna term it.

Did Graham play at UNO too? I know Scribner did. Tanabe was a excellent player. Left early to Ann Arbor, played at Wisconsin and had a few good years in the show before knee injuries ended a very promising career.

Labosky was one of the quickest players that I saw in the tourney this year, any space and he would zip right around defenders.
Charlie Sampair was another guy with a lot of speed. When he got going through the neutral zone he was really difficult to keep up with.
Heinrich was easily the biggest hitter that I saw this year. He delivered some bone rattling hits at state this year.
