I was at the recenet squirt tournamnet at velocity a couple of weeks ago and saw some pretty good hockey. Who do you think will be the top squirt A teams to watch this winter?
Bloomington Jefferson won it.
1) Edina - Why Not
2) E.P. - Good returning group
3) Lakeville South - Really strong group plus lost 3 to Fire.
4) Grand Rapids - Old and big
5) Hastings - Has a real strong group of 5 returners.

Outstate:
You have to throw Moorhead and Dultuh East because they have the #'s etc...
Other outstate teams is a question of who and how many worked a little on their skating and hockey and have grown and gotten faster...
you get the picture.
Metro:
One from the north wonders about the Centenials (and similar programs) that had such a run of good players and now seem to be less...
So if anyone knows anything to cheer about at:
Centennial
Elk River
Blaine
Anoka
Maple Grove
Wayzata
Woodbury
Maybe you can give us a Frederickesque (new word I just coined) summary of these and any others...
Hutchinson?!? Pretty early in the day to be that far in the bottle.
Why do we want to pick on a defenseless outstate program? I hear the guy running the show out there used to coach in Bemidji. Maybe he just needs some time to turn things around; we all know Bemidji folks are a little slow. I've been in the rink there; there are state banners hanging from 8 or 10 years ago. Sure, they finished 9th or 10th in D5 at every level except pwa, but this may be their year?

I know a Bemidji guy in Dassel.
There was a moroon in Mankato program but he moved back north.
There was a guy in Fairmont about 10-15 years ago but he is elsewhere now.
Could be a college guy (not original Bemidji) down there that I never knew when he was here.
