Best JGB Team 2010-2011
Who do you think is the best JGB team as of right now? The Warrior Hockey Rankings as I post this are as follows:
1. Wayzata Gold
2. Edina White
3. Woodbury
4. Hastings
5. Edina Green
6. Minnetonka
7. Tartan
8. Roseville
9. St. Thomas Academy Blue
10. Wayzata Blue
I personally would say Woodbury as this past weekend in the White Bear Lake Tournament they beat Edina Green 4-1 and dominated Wayzata Gold in the championship game on Sunday beating them 6-1 and out-shooting them 43-11.

Oh you're right my bad. It must have been Wayzata Blue then. Everyone was telling me it was Wayzata Gold and I could have sworn I saw a bracket that said it too. The online bracket is wrong as well. Not only does it not have the results of the final games, it says that North Metro beat Woodbury 8-6 and advanced to the championship game vs. Wayzata when in fact Woodbury beat North Metro 1-0. For the no. 1 ranked team to get beaten like that would be too good to be true, lol.freighttrain wrote:Wayzata Gold was not in the White Bear Tourney. They were in Albert Lea this past weekend.

We play Hastings tonight which should be a little closer game than normal. We haven't lost yet either but It's a shame we play in District 8 instead of the MHL. There's way less teams which means way less games. The only teams we've played not from District 8 are Edina Green beating them 4-1, North Metro winning 1-0 (we were outshooting them 22-2 at the end of the 2nd period, embarassing win), Wayzata blue beating them 6-1, and a scrimmage against North St. Paul winning 6-3 If I remember correctly.WZTA JGB wrote:I think until we get beat that we deserve to be ranked number 1, we aren't as dominant as last year though. however i would rank tonka higher they are really good, we play them tonight so expect a close game.

Was checking around to see how everyone's A team is doing but the funny thing about this list is that half of them don't even have an A team.
Is this the Metro League or Showcase Hockey? I love it when teams play down so coaches can separate their shoulders patting themselves on the back telling themselves what great coaching minds they are.
Props to associations like Wayzata, Edina, and Minnetonka for manning-up and still finding success at the B level.

Some schools just dont have the number of kids to play at an A level.WhiteTornado wrote:Was checking around to see how everyone's A team is doing but the funny thing about this list is that half of them don't even have an A team.

If you take a look at some associations peewee teams, once you get to the B2 level, they arent as good as say maple grove. But maple grove only has 3 peewee teams.
So there is a number of ways to look at it. Do they put out an A team and get crushed, or do you play B so that the kids have fun and win some games? Wayzata, Edina, Minnetonka all have the numbers to be able to field 3 or more teams. I think wayzata has 4, edina has 4, minnetonka i think has 5. (Just quick without looking at the metro league site)

I was unaware that Woodbury Hastings Tartan Roseville St. Thomas (not to mention Hudsons JV team) only had 15-20 kids in their JG programs. I imagine they do have to play down at B to be able to compete with the Andovers, FL, Buffalo, Mahtomedi, PL, NP, and Crow Rivers. Maybe we can petition and get them waived down to where they can really compete.

If Wayzata Gold was in White Bear it would have been just like 2 years ago when Wayzata pulled off the epic shootout victory!!WILDhockeyfan47 wrote:Oh you're right my bad.

I too would like to know how they decide what is worthy of A versus B. This is happening on the East Sdie quite a bit throughout all levels of youth como/Johnson hockey.
I know when I was Bantam B there were a few organizations that only had B teams - one of which went on to be ranked #2 almost the whole year. It's funny because our A bantam team that year (Johnson) was pretty garbage but my B bantam team took 2nd that year and almost wone the entire state B bantam.
