Amen elliott70!

I agree going by the numbers can be misleading. If the measurement of this thread has changed to who's the best tender in the state based upon what they have in front of them I would put Matt Laprade on the list.

Herb Brooks said it best,"All star teams fail because they rely soley on the individuals talents. Teams succeed because they put that talent together into a system that will breed succes." This seems to be the trend building at the U as far as recruiting goes. Stop recruiting individuals(A...

Meyer's from Benild gets my vote! Jacob seems to hate to lose more than he loves to win and thats what it takes to be a shut down tender. I played the position for 18 years and hes the real deal. No disrespect to anyone else on the list as they are deserving in this coversation but if I have to win ...

I don't see anyone slowing Breck down this seson but themselves!

Systems are extremely important. No one player is greater than the team or the game. At the beginning of every season I think coaches have a plan on how they want their team to play, whether or not they have the personel is another thing. Adaptation is obviously a key to being successful as hockey i...

St. Cloud Cathdral should be in the mix!

Coaches should promote their players if they feel they can play at the next level. If the coach doesn't have contacts its not hard to pick up the phone and ask around or even email a college coach in hopes of moving forward with the process. After all this is how you develope relationships(contacts)...

Leddy is a good player but hasn't proven anything yet at the next level... He'll get a fair shake no doubt but it may take some time... Schroeder was up top last year with fairchild on the PP... Schroeder will most likely move down low to open up more opportunities to score... I'm guessing that Ness...

I agree with you about Holy Family... They have depth this year but more importantly they have great goaltending in Matt Laprade! Defensively they are strong with Riesgraf, Wurm, and Jones but I think they will have a hard time scoring goals even though they have great team speed. Delano intrigues m...

Even though I like Cathedral, Delano may surprise some people this season. I'm a firm believer in being strong defensively and Delano I believe will be this season. Cathdral will still be tough, but I think this could be Delano's year. Time will tell!

Who takes conference this year?

I like Cathedral!
Delano or Mound
Holy family
Orono
Litchfield
Waconia

Whats wrong with Holy Family's current staff? They had a great team two years ago but fell to Blake in the playoffs late in the game. I've heard great things about this years team. They need a championship caliber coach at HF in order to get that done. Hold on a minute. They had a decent team two y...

Whats wrong with Holy Family's current staff? They had a great team two years ago but fell to Blake in the playoffs late in the game. I've heard great things about this years team. Breck - will be a better team than last season. Blake - will be down from last year (It may be a few years before they ...
