You guys have named a lot of great head coaches of all-time. Just thought I'd throw out Oscar Almquist..

He's pretty smart 4.0 in school. Top average in his class at Virginia. Pretty smart I think Common sense and book smarts are two different things. I know someone who was top in my class 2 years ago, and he's not smart, not street smart. You can't translate how smart a person is at Chemistry to how ...

D16 dad, youth success doesn't translate to high school success. I remember one year where Moorhead won the Bantam A MAHA and VFW states. Don't be too sure that they will be "good". Not saying they won't be. Just pointing out the fact that:

YOUTH Success doesn't = HIGH SCHOOL success

1. Roseau 2. Edina 3. Hill Murray 4. Holy Angels 5. Centennial 6. Moorhead 7. Grand Rapids 8. Duluth East 9. Cloquet 10. Burnsville rapidsrapids...GR has zero Elite League players...and you list them #7?...I know the last 2 years were awesome for you guys...but PW & JS are gone...time to face r...

southernmnscout..i saw you at a camp one time..I'd put you at Right Defense...at least in the Beer League.

you are exactly right wishock..the Rams played better and better as the season went on. The stifling defense was a nice upgrade. A congratulation is due to the unknown coach of the Rams..Jamie Byfuglien. He came in and worked with the defense a lot and really improved the defense corps. Without him....

When you think about it, the Rams didn't exactly "sneak" past the Spuds. By saying this, you are implying that the Spuds team was by far head and shoulders above the Rams, when the Rams had a talented team. But no doubt, the Spuds were a more veteran, talented team.

Verbally committed. So SCSU is the college where he intends to go. They are interested in him, and want him if he grows to be good player. Looks like he's on track. Going to the Five Nations Tournament for '91s in Czech Republic. Kudos to Oliver.

I know Nolan pretty well, and here's what he told me. He is walking now. He will play hockey again, and hopefully this year. He said the Doc said he had a good surgery. The kid's got a desire like noone else, and no doubt will return to full strength. Anyone else know anything? You say you know him...

Haha, alright, sorry. It slipped my mind that this was upcoming sophomores. Which one do you guys think dad slips him signs, what? Am I missing something

Are you guys remembering Alex Rush and Aaron Ness when you say this? Ness lit it up at the Model Camp..

I don't feel right putting BSM, HM and STA with the likes of Roseau. Just because Roseau is a public school, with no invitations to the top players in the state. If my memory serves me right, all three of the previously named teams are private school..

Wow...hockey9999, only 1 post. Talking about how Edina is sooo good. Hmm...Well, all I have to say is good luck to Anders in whatever he does, and does Edina still brag about that 5th place finish in the cities?

Thanks for the info guys!

I know Mattson is good and Lovick is a skilled kid. Another that surprised me was that Knockemus from Roseau. He seemed a little out of sorts at the state tournament, but he did well during the last half of the season for Roseau and is very fast; could be something there, not sure.

Congratulations to Mike...*cautious*great? player, if not then good player whom has a future. He is doing what he can to advance his chances at the next level with UND. Good luck to him.

Chaz Harger?? Are you high? You must be him..

What's the big deal on Nick Oliver? I just want to know what everyone thinks of him and why he is praised so high and above everyone else...thanks in advance.

Are we talking to Mr. Eddy himself?

This is a thread about favorites to win state, not favorites to lose in sections. No need talking about Bemidji.

You can't sit here and rag on a kid who made varsity as a 9th grader on a team that went to the state tournament! But yet again, you can't praise the kid either until he does something that is condusive to us thinking he's gonna be great. He's got pretty good size, a decent skill set. If he hits the...

Four players who simply amaze me are: F - Zach Budish - Edina F - Mike Fink - Hopkins D - Aaron Ness - Roseau G - Mike Lee - Roseau Budish is massive! He is a beast in the corners and can make a play. I think he is a solid player. Fink...Wow...Kid can take over a game if he turns it on. Scores, it s...
