Agreed.

1st period was kind of boring... BUT there were some good chances towards the end.

From the 2nd period to the end, it was a great, hard fought game!

Like I mentioned before... the year 2005 came into mind with this match-up.

Great showing by the Hounds and Da Bears.

East broke their jinx with Section 4. Well, maybe one year doesn't make a jinx. Which section 4 team were they unable to get past last year?

He's among the best but not the best...

He's not even a Mr. Hockey Finalist...

Would you like to hear what I think about the "Mr Hockey Award"? I bet not

Why do we do that, why do we have a homecoming King or Prom Queen. Embarrassing.

Wrong, but since we're on the topic of Wahlin, where will he, or Birki and Mac for that matter, be playing next year? I'm pretty certain they didn't get D1 offers but will they be going to the USHL or NAHL or anything?

Suprised no D1 teams have found at least 1 these 3 hidden gems in wahlin birki jansen... alot has to do with everyones beloved coach SAGER who doesnt return scouts calls or emails... the scouts have to show up at practices to even let the kids know there intrestd scoal on you coach sager

Goldy,

Why is Jake Wahlin playing for Woodbury and not WBL?

And if he goes to HM, his mom should burn that #20 WBL jersey she has been wearing the last month or so everyday.

Going to HM, really? Come on Wahlins, come on

Birkinbine should find somewhere to play, in juniors. His size and skill should find him a squad

Birki is going to play in the NAHL for the Fairbanks ice dogs right after the h.s season

I thought my son had also said Wahlin is leaving, too. They do have a connection at Sioux Falls with Kevin Hartzell, whose son was a goalie at WBL before Sager jettisoned him out of town, too.

As far as Jake Wahlin is concerned, a family matter created a situation where they moved near Woodbury. The initial plan from what I was told is that Jake Wahlin and Jake Guentzel wanted to play together. And, let's be honest. Would you rather play for Lex or Sager? Old man Wahlin went to grade school with Sager. I have known Sager since grade school.

However, this was the information I was aware of last year. I have not seen Mr. Wahlin since sectionals last year, so I don't know how accurate this info is now.. BUT, I will say that, at least, this is MY opinion if not factual.

I had asked some of the youth coaches of how Jake Wahlin compared as an A Bantam- pee wee eligible to Brian Bonin, and I was told he was close, if not better than Bonin at that age.

Gretzkyesque in the few games I saw him play.

I heard wahlin was going to Sioux falls also

Goldfishdude · Post by **Goldfishdude** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:57 pm

I just speculated Sioux Falls, just because of the Hartzell connection.... I hope Brandon gets a shot. If Jacob Cepis can play at the U with his size at 5'8" 170, Brando has a shot if he gets in the gym, and learns to play as physical in the defensive zone...or.. if he learns to play defensive.

The talk around wbl is Sioux falls but cannont confirm and yes he needs to become a better all around player like birki is

Goldfishdude · Post by **Goldfishdude** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:07 pm

24.... If you hear anything definite, keep us posted. I am guessing he will just be at WBL until spring break next week, and then take off.

wblhcky24 · Post by **wblhcky24** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:12 pm

I will goldfishdude today was the last day of school before break so idk if he will be back after the schools break

In my conversations with with WBL "A" Bantam coaches, Jake was not even their focus when playing Woodbury. Rumor has it, that a lot of kids have caught up to Jake, and quite a few have passed him. Don't get me wrong, he is still a very gifted player. Just not the cream of the crop that he once was.

Body... good info.. since I haven't been around this year, I don't have all the info I used to get.. You still have more sources than Oprah, but not quite as big a butt.

Sound off!

Frankly the award is distributed each year to a proper candidate; however, I do believe politics influence the decision as well. Duh.

Woodbury will be down for a bit with the school split. So for Jake Wahlin, HM or WBL?

Get him to the Bears. Get rid of Sager if need be

From what I hear, its pretty clear that Jake Wahlin will never skate for the Bears.

75% chance Woodbury
25% chance Hill-Murray

Oh and if he does choose Hill-Murray the "We got Wahlin" chant which you know will come is going to make a lot of people sick lol.
