Sure looks like it

Consider that "they" both deleted "their" posts at roughly the exact same time, I'd say it's pretty obvious "they" are one and the same. The only problem is, his posts aren't really deleted, but there for all to see in various replies.

What a stooge.

Andrew Sako of Bloomington Jefferson Bantam A has great hands. He can also snipe at some times. He doesnt have very much size but he makes the best of it and is very aggressive. Look for him to be a Mr. Hockey Candidate in the future.

Mr. Hockey Candidate? Are you kidding?

He is a great player. You should watch him play. He will be up there someday. He works very hard and will keep improving.

if this big #23 is also a member of the Lake Superior Stars then yes, this kid is dominant. Surprised not on high school varsity.

Nelson of Edina would play varsity in many programs. He is a big strong and skilled defenseman.

Shifty nice player, but to be considered a stud (especially at the Bantam and then HS level) he will have to get either a whole lot:

- Faster
- Stronger
- or Bigger

You can't teach size and it is a nice thing not to have to learn.

Good player though? You bet.

I was looking around the Western College Hockey Blog for some write ups for either 94s or 95s and found that he liked Vinni Lettieri, Daniel Labosky, T.J. Moore, and Jordan Gross from the 95 Blades. Are all of these kids playing Bantams besides T.J. Moore?

Lettieri is playing for Tonka A Bantam. Labosky and Moore are both playing BSM Varsity.

I'm interesting to read that blog...can you provide a link?

No mention of Fasching, Reno, McCoshen, Cammereta or Raskob, huh? Personally, I would rank these players maybe a little higher than the ones listed in your post....although, they are all fine hockey players in their own right.

I'll try and find it again.

McCoshen, Raskob, Gross, and Reno are at a different level at the blue line.

Thanks.....I guess the reason he didn't mention McCoshen, Cammereta and Raskob was because they didn't play with the Blades U14 team in the NAHL event, which is where he was basing his opinion of the players on....most likely because they were already skating with the Shattuck Tier I team in September.

I would say you could take a look at the '95 blades website and any of the kids rostered and playing bantams are most likely one of the top bantams in the state.

You could say the same about any of the '95 Breakaway...the list however goes deeper then either of those two teams...agree?

When you look at the current 95 Blades roster, you will notice many of the Breakaway players they added for the U14 tournament.

You're right that there are a few decent other players not on that roster....but not too many. I can think of a few up north, a couple others here and there, but the guys on that roster are pretty much the cream of the crop 1995 born metro players. In fact, many of them aren't even playing Bantams this year, instead they made their varsity teams (Labosky, Reno, Hartley, Pietruszewski, Moore, Fasching, Meyer, etc.).

Some 94s, after July 1, are still bantams.

mghockey18 · Post by **mghockey18** » Wed Dec 30, 2009 6:58 pm

The Blades added players from the Breakaway and Icemen for the U14 NAHL Tournament.

From what I have seen, the '95 age group is very talented, and should develop some very good players.

28 from CG

Devin Donohue, very good, intense, hard working player, was on a very good 95 Sniper team, line mates w/ naas/thie, could score against blades/machine etc.
