Mississippi 8 Conference Scores, Updates, Predictions Ect...

[hockeypuck51]

There has not been much on this conference. I know this is not a powerhouse conference, but there are some solid hockey teams and some teams that could prove to be sleepers. What are people’s thoughts on the rankings thus far and what teams could upset the early season favorites.

Power Rankings and a comment on the teams in the conference.

1. Buffalo (Undefeated in the conference. Very strong non-conference schedule. They play Roseau at home which could provide them the chance to get a 2 or 3 seed in 8AA if they play strong or even get a W)

2. Rogers (Could sneek up on Buffalo and win the conference. Should split with Buffalo, but unlikely to run the table to take the conference. Should be a contender for the section now they are in 2A)

3. Monticello/Annandale/Maple Lake (Lost to Buffalo 4-2 ENG and Rogers 3-0 but both games on the road. Beat a decent Prior Lake team. Could be a team that surprises teams as the season continues)

4. Cambridge Isanti (Very unpredictable team with wins vs Cloquet and St. Francis and losses to Princeton and Chisago Lakes. Played Buffalo tough and tends to play very well at home. They will provide a challenge to teams like MAML and STMA in their quest to finish in the top three of the conference)

5. St. Michael Albertville (Off to a nice start including a 4-3 loss to Buffalo. Not flashy but seem to know how to win games. Very comparable to MAML and C-I. These 3 teams are the next tier after Buffalo and Rogers and they all could upset any of the top teams.)

6. Princeton (Big home win over Cambridge, but that will appear to be a fluke until they can beat another one of the top 5 teams in the conference. Could be considered in the MAML,STMA,CI category But in the end, I do not see them finishing any higher than 5th in the conference and an early exit in the play-offs)

7. Becker/Big Lake (Not looking like this will be a good year for this squad. I do not see them winning a conference game and if they were to win a play-in game, have mercy on them when they play the 1 or 2 seed in 8AA)
