I would flip Edina and Hill especially in light of Budish not being able to play this season. I expect Hill to have a great team this year.

Duluth East is very talented. They may have the best D core in high school hockey this year. Plus, you know Randolph will have them playing physical.

This preseason ranking's probably the closest to what I've been expecting. I think Holy Angels is a bit low, but otherwise it looks very good.

AA:
Edina shouldn't be the number one seed after the loss of Budish. No doubt they will be very good with alot of talent, they might have to re-prove themselves to be the top team. Im thinking somewhere around number five seed is their place.
A:
Orono should be higher. Their top line includes Persian and Skoog two very good hockey players. I've heard they have a freshman centering the line because noone else can keep up with the two. Regardless of who the center is they should do very well this year.

Pre-season rankings are based off returning players and assumed talent pretty much. With that said, even though Edina lost Budish for awhile, with the guys Edina still has and they talent they possess i would still have them at number one.

As far as everyone else goes, i like the top 5 in general and im putting money that we will probably see teams like Benilde and possibly Hopkins joining the top 10 very soon...
