Go ahead and bet against them and you'll be the one looking like a fool come March just like the past 2 years! They have 5 seniors and 2 are goalies. They have tons of sophmores so they will learn throughtout the season. I bet Hibbing goes farther than Falls.mnhockeynemn wrote:Give it up already.

You may be right Teak.
Little Falls was not on my radar and that was an impressive win.
Good luck to LF.
You will probably see a big change in the LPH ratings next week.

I didn't say the falls were any better or they would go further than hibbing. The falls have a young squad and a brand new coach. But unlike you im not stating my team is already going to be in the finals in an extremely competetive section.ryno44 wrote:Go ahead and bet against them and you'll be the one looking like a fool come March just like the past 2 years!

Northern Minnesota, Now that's real Hockey!
Re: Class A preseason rankings
you have Totino at number 2?! they return a goalie who was mediocre a year ago. yeah they bring back a few point getters in roo and fust, but only bring back THREE defensemen with varsity experience from the year before.Hockeywatcher123 wrote:Class A is very down this year. These rankings are my guess for now, as it is wide open this year. STA however is the clear cut #1.

We're two days in, so the top three stays put for now. We all know the top 11 teams should be pretty good, but the rest is a coin-toss. By this time next week things will be much clearer.

Is this just a holdover from last year???? Breck lost almost everyone, Hermantown and Warroad lost thier studs and you still have them the top three? This isn't last March..... Any rankings that don't have STA on top are either delusional or homers.MNHockey75 wrote:1. Breck

How does one rank high school teams without any games being played? Are you able to see everyone's practices and scrimmages? No. So I kept last years top three, until they start playing games of course. And yes I'm a homer towards Breck, Hermantown and Warroad simultaneously.Redlight wrote:Is this just a holdover from last year????
