Re: 2025-26 Early Departure Watch List

FWIW, Zimmerman, Vandertop and Pittsley both in the lineup for their respective USHL teams tonight So was HM's Riley Zupfer. He had a goal and 3 assists for Des Moines tonight.

Re: HS Elite League Rosters

One of the Elite League goalies hasn’t even played a high school game yet. Not really the definition of Elite. It’s a joke. He may have not played a HS game yet, but of HS Elite League teams (not including Shattuck, Wisconsin, ND, and NSCA), he was: T1st in games played T4 in wins 3rd in saves 1st ...

Re: 2025-26 Transfers

Believe that EP will have a couple of new faces, including one from the past that took a couple year detour in the Detroit area that appears to have made his way back..... RJ Thompson is back in EP, yes. Another former JR King in the mix too, but is still up in the air on whether he makes the varsi...

Re: A Traveling Trophy/Cup

Kinda like a few of the NHL writers have for the NHL, although theirs is virtual. They each pick 8 teams beginning of the year and track who has the most days/who finishes with it

Re: Section Changes

Who at the MSHSL thought 6AA needed a fifth top 10 team? The Group of Death I just want to know how they managed to put Rogers *and* Buffalo in that section but not Maple Grove, not that that would’ve been much better. There should not be a possibility let alone a very good chance of top ten teams ...
