I would love for my esteemed columnists to look into their Crystal Ball and predict the Top 10 rankings for A and AA at the end of next regular season, not after the state tournament.
Test your knowledge on strength of programs and returning players. We will then know who the real Swammy is!
What does your hockey Crystal Ball say?

Alot to agree with here - MG and Hill have to be consensus 1/2 after that I think there is some dispute - Elks might be good next year but certainly not ahead of Blaine or maybe even centennial. EP will fall further down list along with Wayzata and Roseau... Lakeville South and Buffalo could rise...After the top 3 it could be as wide open a year as there's ever been. Excellent parity to look forward to...
My crystal ball has HM getting another #2 seed at state. Been lucky so far...
I thought Centennial had a number of young players with talent as well, could they be a top 10 team? How about Roseau, seems the top 10's above are metro heavy.
Will BSM return to form? As far as Hill, I'd bet they don't lose as many games as they did this year, although they do have to replace a heck of a goalie. Rumor has it the replacement played JV this year and will be very solid. Will see if that comes true. On to the boys tourney...
