7AA in 2011-12
This should be one of the most exciting seasons ever in 7AA with Duluth East likely being the Pre-Season #1 in the polls and Grand Rapids being a top 5 team in the state next year. Their rosters will look very similar from last season. Cloquet was in the bantam state tourney 2 years ago so they should be on the rise and Elk River's bantam team this year is ranked #4 in the state. The semi's and final at Amsoil should be even better next season, and the final between GR and East was the best atmosphere of any section playoff game I went to, Mariucci arena wasn't close for intensity though their games were entertaining.

I expect Elk River to be pretty good this coming year. I need to take a look at how much scoring they have returning (unless an ER person can enighten us), but they have a great Bantam A team, and teams with great Bantam A teams feeding in almost always have strong years. Preseason top 20.
Cloquet is in a bigger bind--they have to get Kuhlman some support. One or two strong players cannot make a team a section contender, especially when there are teams like DE and GR in the section. Forest Lake is in a similar situation.
STMA may be a threat in the near future, but I doubt they will be this coming year. Their PS2 ranking this past season was about on par with Cambridge, and their Bantam A squad is currently ranked somewhere in the 60s in the state. The PeeWees look to be the group to watch out for.

Elk River will be much improved this year. Last year ER had a small senior class. Jaremko will be much missed at D, but ER doesn't loose much scoring. ER will return 7-8 seniors and have a very talented group of sophomores who will contribute up front with a couple of very good scorers in Zerban, Springman and the young Jaremko. ER will return 3 solid D and 4 year starting goalie in Franke. They will very much be a threat for 7AA this year. The road goes thru Duluth, but there may be detour.
