Hold up. all of the players you are listing are from the cities. how about some love to the north. Nolan Meyer from East is an amazing player. hes got all the attributes to become elite. you will hear more of this name when he starts in the state tournament next year. he has great speed, hands, and a rip of a shot. he sees the ice like no other player and will dangle you until your ankles break. a great up and coming star through duluth east hockey.

Nolan is a very tenacious player, but gets a little "hot headed" at some points. This results many dumb penalties. He is a tremendous skater with a lot of speed, but his hands need alot of improvement and so does his shot accuracy. I can tell you right now that there are many other players that read the ice better than he does. Ben Marshall and Kyle Rau are two great examples of players who have really taken the game to the next level.

is that kid number 27 on bantam A's. as for the peewee A i didnt see any future stars as of yet.

Duluth 4 · Post by **Duluth 4** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 4:52 pm

im not sure if i can agree with that post. im sure those players are good. but nolan has been head and shoulders above everyone in duluth for a couple of years and he keeps getting better. and his shot is getting better. and yes he does need to cool down but when he wants to find the extra gear he is amazing.

First of all, you need to expand your horizon a little bit buddy. Get out of your little "Duluth bubble." I can think of 20+ players that are better than Nolan. Im not trying to bring him down or rip on anybody here, but for you to be talking him up like his the next "Sid The Kid", that is far from the truth.

Duluth 4 · Post by **Duluth 4** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 5:06 pm

im just broadining the cities bubble. from people like you. is there any kid in minnesota who is the next sid the kid? the USA? The World? no. plain and simple and can you name the 20 kids better then him. im not saying hes the best in the state im aware of the but up there? yes.

haven't heard this name on the board yet, AJ Reid. Did he move up to high school at STA?

SMNHockey22 · Post by **SMNHockey22** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 9:25 am

Yes AJ Reid is playing varsity at STA.

BladeButter44 · Post by **BladeButter44** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 11:36 am

Reid is playing very well at STA for being a 9th grader. I believe he has already racked up a few points and is playing on one of their top lines.

jack helgeson from faribaualt , and i hear their goalie is a real stud i hear 6 foot 200 pound giant

SMNHockey22 · Post by **SMNHockey22** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 9:00 am

Yes Helgeson is good but in my eyes they have a few more players that are just as good.

Wingsfan13 · Post by **Wingsfan13** » Sat Dec 08, 2007 1:01 pm

Helgeson is a good player, they also have Lipinski who is as good or better. I thought I would chirp in with my two cents on Bantam A. These are a few I think are worth a look.
Stolt from Albert Lea
Head from Dodge County
Rudnick - Champlin Park
McDonald - Champlin Park
Hoffman - New Ulm

Caden Rodning from Shakopee is supposed to be part of the new Dynamic Duo on Shakopees first line with Daniel Hespenheide

They basically rape anything within site.

Like if there was a cow on the ice, and shakopee had there first line was out there.

well you get the picture.

Not sure I can agree with you as far as saying "head and shoulders above the rest in Duluth for a couple of years". After seeing him play the last couple of seasons, he wasn't even head and shoulders above anyone on his team. He certainly can play the game, but let's not crown him Mr. Hockey just yet. He's got a long, long way to go to be considered elite.

SMNHockey22 · Post by **SMNHockey22** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 9:42 am

Mundy and Keller from Dodge County as well. Lipinski and Teske from Faribault.

Best BA player I have seen this year is DJ Jones from Wayzata. Smooth, smart, extreme acceleration.
