[Section 8 guy]

Are both of their goalies Sophomores?

Edit..... Mackay is a Senior.

Sorry for three posts on this. The MSHS site link is a good source for rosters once they are submitted by coaches/AD's. This is what is used to print off programs for games. Click link's for teams on schedule and you can quickly search rosters. GB

For those players that didn’t make the cut there is still a chance to wear the green and white. There is a small Northern Minnesota school that you may want to check out. Just hop on Highway 169 and you’ll be there in 3 1/2 hours.

Then another 2 hours west and north and you will be in Roseau.

That's where I pasted from, must have been updated since last night.

Yes, a pleasant surprise: a goalie wearing the # 0. Always been a big fan of 0.

I don't recall ever seeing that before, but I like it - aka "Mr. Zero".

Brinkman and Boltmann played HS as freshmen. Is the Williams kid that just committed to the Gophers not ready to this year? Would he have made the team?

[CakeScout17]

Best as I've seen/heard is that Nick (Nicholas) Williams is loaded w/ potential, multi-sport athlete, smooth skater and steady head on his shoulders for his age as he just turned 15 this past Sept as a 2002 born. However, even for a 9th grader - he's undersized. I believe he's approx 5' 8" / 155 lbs...but we may see him brought up for selected Varsity games a few times this year for some exposure - He should do very well in Bantams then make leap for '18-'19. Williams was former Wiz Wyatt finalist as well.

[CakeScout17]

'0' would be kinda cool...however I think he's wearing #30. Edina goalies usually don '30' or '1' depending on who the starter is, upperclassmen chooses, etc. Willie Benjamin wore '1' title year of 2012-13.
Mackay may well be the key this year. On paper, Edina loaded and ready to go...Karl calls it though - the few holes you can poke are overall size & grit and the goalie. Was disappointed Mackay turned down Fall Elite league for Team CCM and opted to ride bench, appearing in only 1 live game for the MN Magicians.

Is BB captain again? CoCaptains?

[GoldenBear]

WM, funny you ask about captains. Last year when they announced sophomore captain at Edina I said to myself: Wayzata has a chance. It drove Copeland out and I know caused issues with other seniors. It showed during the section finals when it came down to crunch time for the Hornets. I won't get into specifics as Brinkman is a good high school hockey player and it wasn't his fault that Giles appointed him captain. Being a captain is earned through many summers of hard work and should only be given to Seniors. Especially at large programs. EP this year, Junior captain. We will see how that plays out. Captains lead; 10th and 11 graders may score more goals then some seniors but that isn't the captains job. GB

[yesiplayedhockey]

If you're a true leader you don't need any C on the chest. And if a kid actually quit the team just because he wasn't chosen captain, shame on him and shame on his parents. But I do agree the Edina coach should have never named a 10th grader as captain. That just added fuel to the fire and unless there was a really really good reason was a stupid move on behalf of their coach.

In general, I agree...If you must have captains, it's probably best to reward it to seniors...It's funny how some teams just name C's and some will have one C and a couple A's ... to me it's all just a little to silly and probably creates more drama than needed...Go play the game. When you head over to hoist up the trophy go as a team.

[WestMetro]

So , does anyone know who is Hornet captain/co captains?

GB- Schmidt and Ness? Or?

[WarmUpTheBus]

In my experience the captains have been voted on by the players at the end of the season and named at the year end banquet. A lot of work has to be done by the captains' parents over the course of the year and it gives them time to get things done. Typically the captains' parents get involved in fund raising, scheduling captains practices, acting as go betweens with the youth program, arranging accomodations for out of town trips and if lucky enough State Tournament arrangements. Maybe Edina does it differently.

[GoldenBear]

Ness and Schmidt for Wayzata GB.

[CakeScout17]

Original question:
Presumably Brinkman and Walker (Sr and Jr)...Brinkman is solid as they come but I agree a So. captain is pushing it. He will achieve enough and receive plenty of accolades in his HS and college career - does he 'need' a 'C' as a sophomore? Probably not. Then again - IS that what drove Copeland to Waterloo. BC did play before and after in Waterloo as a Jr. but there were definite rumblings that a few seniors were not pleased w/ the BB as 'C' decision. However, Scheerer could never be a 'C'...not w/ that poor attitude and pouty play (look at what the Aces did - they cut him and off to the Magicians you go! Hey Bram...CC is watching!)
Im sure for 2017-18 its Walker and Brinkman and if theres a 3rd player involved or that sports the 'A' it would be the same player that ALL of the Edina players look up to and is their 'fave teammate' - Lewis Crosby. Great kid, great attitude, always hustling. We shall see...and that right soon!

Crosby is a captain - named at banquet last spring.

Exactly how Edina does it - Captains named at banquet in the spring.

[GoldenBear]

yes, players vote on it, but coach names captains. Coach has the final vote and he is the one tabulating them. GB

You got that right GB. I remember a captain being announced at the banquet and all the players looked at each other with surprise. You could see them whispering and when I asked my son about it afterwards, he said nobody voted for that player.

[WestMetro]

Crosby excellent choice!
