Minneapolis Park will be strong. 10 returning players which is often a good measure of A teams. Last year they beat Roseau, and tied Edina, with 12 first year players on the team so if those two clubs don't have at least 10 players returning I would be hard pressed to rank them ahead of Minneapolis-Park.

Mpls Park

I heard that Zachary Hale is NOT playing Varsity at BSM and will be back on their A team. I also heard that Keegan Iverson will be trying out for varsity as an 8th grader at Breck (where his brother goes to school and mom teaches) and has a good chance of making their varsity so he may not be back.

Have you heard anything about Glover @ BSM?

From what i've heard Iverson is almost a lock on that team. He's a beast and plays with quite the chip on his shoulder.

Just my opinion

Roseau- very, very good. This is the group that as Peewee A’s won state. Yon, Strand, Broton… again very good.

Warroad – Down year but it’s always hard to tell with Warroad. It seems that as kids move up though that system they hit a point where they greatly improve. My theory is it’s a good set of coaches.

Duluth East – good, just not the great team of last year.

Grand Rapids – They have probably one of the best goalies in the state (if the high school doesn’t scoop him up) but little else. This group didn’t even make it to regions as Peewee’s (lost to I-falls).

EGF – Very good team just not sure if they can compete with the big city teams. Like many northern teams they have a handful of very good players but maybe not the depth to handle the relentless wave after wave of good players.

Also Cloquet, Hibbing, and Bemidji will be good.

Blaine should be in the top 10.
The team is already picked and posted.

Bruce already has 5 goalies at Varsity with 1 playing Elite 1 so that will not happen. The young man will for sure play Bantam Hockey.

Blaine lost Kline, and their A PW team was below average, but their B1 Bantams team was above Average. I would say their team will be top 20 but not top 10. Just my opinion.

He is on the Blaine HS team last I heard. I know he isn't listed on their roster. After looking at their roster I would say they will be 4th or 5th best team in the district, and not in the top 20.

MPLS Park will be very very good. Top 3 in state at least, tons of talent, chemistry, and experience. Edina will be very good as well.

Edina beat Park. I wouldn't look to much into that game. Both teams looked good. Edina more skill Park more size.
