Will SLP repeat? Or will a new underdog take the Title?

I bet Burnsville, Edina, Wayzata, Minnetonka, Duluth, and Lakeville all make the tournament.

Those are the "safe bet" teams. The schools that traditionally have strong jga teams. Teams that are in the tourney more often then not. Forgot about EP though. So put them in there.

Duluth should be solid next year - a lot of local HS cuts coming next year

If what happens this year, where the kids who get cut are above playing J-Gold, Duluth won't have a team. In Duluth J-Gold has a terrible record and im not sure why.

Agreed, SLP will reload, not rebuild. The BSM cuts will come. And experienced players are staying around. They will for sure get an outstanding goaltender, as there are 3 fighting for the varsity spots next year (there will be at least one great goalie coming to the Flyers) A big draw also is the fact SLP won the ship. That always helps bringing in new players.

Tonka was a young team this year (6 or 7 seniors).

There will be some Tonka varsity cuts, there always is in any program, and a majority of this years returning Warrior players were on the U16 championship team from last season.

I look for them to be a contender the JGA 'ship next year.

I wouldn't say that they will for sure get a good goalie because there was the same situation in Ep this year and the goalie that didn't make it didnt want to play junior gold. I think some of the kids that get cut from varsity feel playing junior gold would be a blow to their reputation. But really it is a great league with many talented players.

SLP will actually have two good goalies next year. Yes one from BSM but also one who is on Buffalo jgb right now-he is there team - 100 saves in a weekend 4 or 5 goals

Where is the state tournament next year? Nothing against Duluth, but considering most of the teams are from the metro it seems to have a better vibe when it's at a metro rink.

Most people dont want to travel 2.5 hours to watch a game or two, then stay in a hotel room to watch a couple more games.

Are you agreeing with Brasky?

Yeah, I understand why the vibe is better in the metro, just wanted to know if anyone knew where state would be for the 2011-2012 season. I don't know if that's been determined already or not. Just curious.

The handbook says D3 for JGA & 16U, and D5 for JGB.

In Junior Gold B with the exception of last year the winner is usually a D8 team, due to the fact D8 doesnt have an junior gold a league.

Tonka gets a huge boost from the exchange students as well, since it seems that no matter how good they are they get cut from varsity. They've had an exchange student(s) on the team for 5 years in a row (I think) and they've always been key players.

blueblood · Post by **blueblood** » Mon Apr 18, 2011 4:49 pm

there have been exchange students on the warriors team for the past 2 years. the team from 3 yrs ago didn't have an exchange student.

(i'm postive about this)

Not sure about any years prior to that...

Some schools have been accused of purposely having an exchange student come to their school to play sports. I think that is the main reason that most schools do not want them playing on their varsity teams. For example I go to EP and we had a exchange student come over and he actually chose to come here out of all the schools around the metro. He made the varsity soccer team and then about 5 games into the season someone complained to the league (most likely because he was the best player on the team) that they recruited him. So after that the league determined that he couldnt play anymore.

This years exchange student will not be close to making JGA he has no hands and cant skate. I think he is a swiss and has no where near the talent that last years exchange student has
