Cathedral could have played a lot better last night, I wasnt very impressed. A win is a win however, any way you get it. They have a very tough challenge on Tuesday when they travel to Benild St. Margarets.

The hockeywriter · Post by **The hockeywriter** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 4:29 am

Ok Now i have seen every team play and now here are the Power Rankings and Scouting Report of every team. 1.) Sauk Rapids 2.) Princeton 3.) Proctor 4.) Mora 5.) SCC 6.) Pine City 7.) Sartell 8.) Duluth Denfeld 9.) Moose Lake Sauk Rapids- ( Goaltending)- Joe Dagenais 12th grade solid goaltender extremly focused goaltender is very good at controlling his rebounds usally to beat him you need to beat him on the first shot nice glove can control puck when needed. His ranking as a goaltender out of the 9 teams he is #2 in this Section is capable of carrying this team to state. (Defense)- Matt Wocken is the star here they can only play 3 D and Wocken plays th emost of anybody he must be out there 80% of the time and he needs to is has a very good head samrt and strong very solid. The other 2 D are Meierhofer and Walek neither is anything special both are just OK they get the job done . This Unit out of the 9 teams D is #3. (Forwards)- The Stars here are Peckskamp and Streit both very tatlented they make up the anchors of Sauks 2 lines both have the ablitlty to take over the game can change everything when they are on . Other good players are Brezinka and Cook mix in well help the team out alot. This Forwars Unit rank out of 9 is #3 btu they have the best player in this section and Peckskamp. Princeton- ( Goaltending)- Tony Osmundson 11th grade big goalie who fills alot of the net is good enough to stop the weaker team is a little slow laterial and a big 5 hole good goal scorers will score on him but he is getting better and will get better . As of right now he ranks #7 goalie. (Defense)- The real reason I think this team will get to State Karl Larsen is the big Star here he can shoot hit pass gots all the right tools is big time player. Juniors Brown and Ross are also very good Brown is the best passer and has the best hockey sense and just compliments Larsen very well to make not only the best duo in the Section but maybe in the State Ross you got to like his size big frame big shot big time player. the other key to this unit is Jorgenson is a good player as well. This Unit is #1 overall for this Section. (Forwards)- The Big 2 here are Englund and Bacon both compliment each other very well. Bacon has great speed and a good scoring touch and Englund has th egrit and determintion to do anyhting they are both very solid players. Other good forwards are Miron big kid cant move him very well in front of the net Pangerl nice spped has tons of potentioal and Schnieder very up and down bu twhen he is up makes that first line bid time. This unit is #1 BECAUSE IT HAS MORE DEPTH THAN ANY OTHER TEAM. Proctor-(Goaltending ) Still havent got to see much but Jeff Quale 12th grade goalie from last year is pretty decent not huge not as good as the other but he does a nice sloid job he gets th ejob done he keeps alot of pucks out of the net. I give him the #6 ranking. (Defense)- This is a good solid unit heading the way is senior Travis Olson big kid hits hard big shot lacks speed the big problem for most of the kids on this team. Another kid i like is 10th grader Scherber pretty good with the puck i was impressed by him. But overall this unit is #5 overall. (Forwards)- they dont have any stars just a bunch of hard workers they dont have a ton of skill but they work very hard forcheck well they are always going. Talarico, Koivisto and Walsh have all showed flashes but there is nothinf fancy about this group. I give this group a # 7 ranking overall. Mora- (Goaltending) Nick Hjelle 12th Grade the best goalie in this section he is quick controls rebounds pretty well a very good glove asnd cntrols the puck well is the only reason Mora has a Shot at State this year he could Carry them. Has the #1 ranking. (Defense) This group is made of 2 Very good D Ackermann when he plays is very talented has speed the shot the just whole package if he played all the time could be so dangerous. Horbacz is th ebest young D in this section has a lot going fo rhim good spped and shot 2 really good player. Another good player on this unit is Kastenbauer big kid. this unit is ok btu they have 2 big time players. I give them #2 ranking. (Forwards) - This unit is headlined by there Big First Line of Corbett, Graboski and Horbacz all juniors a very talented group of kids got some real skill can score and cintrol the game when they ar eplaying well otherws who are good are th eoldest Horbacz and Gretskie. this unit has good firt line that makes them get the #3 ranking. SCC- (Goaltending) John Zierman 10th grade is a little and slow has kinda alot of holes doesnt always seem in to the game but can put together some good games still lacks alot even if he is only a sophmore this kid wont let them win the big game. I give him the 8th ranking. (Defense)- the leader of this group is 11th grader Schleper big big kid with a nice shot and soft hands but he is too slow if he was faster would be very good but still an ok kid. otheres that are ok none good enough to come up with names just an ok group. I give this group the #6 ranking. (Forwards)- The forwards there star player is Koopmeiners big kid has some reall good skill nice hands but again just too slow but has everything else to work with Others who are good are Dahl little but makes stuff happenand can put the puck away but it falls off after that.Anderson also has some decent potenial. I give this group the #6 ranking. Pine City-(Goaltending)- Tony Samuelson 11th grade he has played very well this year very good at controling his rebounds has stood on his head at times this year but he doesnt have great laterail movementbut has been very solid this year was very impressed wasnt expecting to much but has been good. I give him the #4 ranking. (Defense)- This is the reason why this group is not any good there is no skill here there is no names i can even think of #3 Laugerman is the only decent one but still this is the reason this group isnt going anywhere. I give them the #9 ranking. (Forwards)- The big line best in this Section Gross, Brant and Berglund ae so skilled and dangerous you got the speed and Gross the Skill in Brant and the grit and determintion in Berglund they are a very hard line to shut down Other good forwards are Seth Peterson does a nice job for there second line. I give this group a #4 ranking cause of that forward line. Sartell- (Goaltending)- Eric Anderson 10th grade is little doesnt have his head over the bar lol but the kid can play is very good at making up for his size with good angles and makes really good saves he has been sloid gets the jod done. he has the #5 ranking. (Defense)- The head line Spot light player is 9th grader Micheal Sauer kid has size skill shot can pass and just has so much poential can be a really good player. He really makes up the defensive group the rest of the group just does a nice solid job. They get the #4 ranking. (Forwards)- The big time player is Bruss he is speedy and has a nice scorers tough can fly all over the ice is fun to watch on that big sheet of ice. there are other good forwarsds as well that make up a nice solid group. I give them a #5 ranking. Duluth Denfeld-(Goaltending)-Brett Omundson 11th grade really not doing to well this year has had some trouble but his defense doesnt help just really hasnt showed me anyhting this year it is to bad this team is really down this year. I gave him the #9 ranking. (Defense)- again not alot of skilled player here no names to even bring up kinda slow and not the greatest skill anaging a down year for denfeld. I still gave them the #7 ranking. (Forwards)- Bushy Bushy Bushy great player strong on his skates good shoot very fast has nothing to go with it is really to bad to waste all that talent no one else really stuck out for DD but Bushy has alot of talent. I gave this group a #8 ranking. Moose Lake-(Goaltending)- Jake Danelski 12th grade i know i rip on Moose Lake alot but I do really like this kid he is very good he is the only reason Moose might win a playoff game he is big controls his rebound and faces alot shots and has been very good so there is a bright spot on this bad Moose Lake team. I gave him # 3 ranking. (Defense)- umm i watched no skill dont move puck well they are much like Pine Cities D but with experince but still not a whole lot of skill. Gave them a #8 ranking. (Forwards)- Agin no skill no names here they work hard but just lack skill it is too bad they are going no where here but that is just my opion. Team ranking of #9 thee is nothing in this unit. Well there it is my Scouting report- NOW PLEASE I WANT EVERYONE OPION ON THIS TELL ME MORE ON TEAMS IF YOU LIEK OR WHAT YOU LIEK AND DONT LIKE OR DO THIS YOURSELF IF YOULIKE BUT I WANT LOTS OF RESPONES SO THANKS ILOVE SECTION 2A NO MATTER WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS SO PLEASE ALL MY SECTION 2A GUYS OUT THERE RESPOND TO THIS. thanks.

What about princetons Sophmore goalie Jared Culver

The hockeywriter · Post by **The hockeywriter** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 1:47 pm

i went for just the #1 goalies of each team and in an earlier post you said Culver was kicked off the team bu tI guess not Culver is and un dersized Goalie who seems to have a huge 5 hole and really bad angles goes down a littel much but good glove if i am Princeton I just stick with Osmundson you got a better shot with the big guy.

ptown tigers · Post by **ptown tigers** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 3:08 pm

As it turns out Culver will be coming back after his suspension. And as it was in the beggining of the season will be splitting time with Ozmundson. that is why I asked

2ahockeydude · Post by **2ahockeydude** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 3:22 pm

Hey hockey writer - your revamped rankings and reports are out-of-date.... I can tell you that some of the teams don't even have the listed players playing for them, or in a totally different position than you listed them at. SCC is one example, you have a goalie listed that isn't even going to SCC anymore. You talk about a couple of players on defense that aren't even seeing ice.... c'mon dude, let's at least get a program when you go to the games.... <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin">

The hockeywriter · Post by **The hockeywriter** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 4:03 pm

Well sorry your right i didnt have a roster for SCC so i went from last year i didnt know if that goalie was still there but the fact is that your goalie is weak and your D i went from last year but the only one who stood out to me was schepler becaus ehe was so big and slow really stood out and yeah so you are obviouly from SCC tell me about your team or all the other ones from Cathedral lik eEric Dahl aka hockey28 or maybe snaphockey25 funny hasnt been back on since he tried to rank himself best junior in section how pathtic thet fact still remains no matter who you rplayers are SCC your team is SLOW SLOW AND YOU KNOW WHAT EVEN SLOWER. I have watched your team twice you got out skated and lost one and barely won the other one so even if the players names are not right your team still is lacking the BIG 3 1.) Experince no seniors equals no playoff wins 2.) Defense your D have no experince and are getting better yes but still are not up to par at all 3.) and no team speed your team is to slow to keep up with the elite teams of this section and everyone else on this board will agree with me that we are sick of all you cathedral kids taliking up your team why until you come up with a big victory then talk still havent tell then keep quite please and sorry if i got the names wrong still doenst change that your team is 6th or 5th best in this section at best . And everyone will agree that we are all SICK AND TIRED OF SCC!!!!!!!!!!!

The hockeywriter · Post by **The hockeywriter** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 4:09 pm

I think the rest of the teams are pretty accruate the 4 temas i follow the most are princeton sauk mora and pine city and i have seen sartell a little and i dont like watching scc only seen moose and denfeld once and proctor i didnt get a roster on when i saw them play but besides all SCC kids i want an opion on my scouting erport tell me what you think. THANKS ( No thanks to SCC kids)

classAhockey · Post by **classAhockey** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 10:22 pm

THis is a very good report on the teams. YOu have done a nice job in watching these teams and reporting what's good about them. I can't say i don't agree with you on any of the following statements but why did you say that Gross, Brant , and Berglund were the best line in the Section, what have they showed so far, or what is so special about them, from what i've seen of them, they can score but do they do anything else?? Just a question i was wondering about.

The hockeywriter · Post by **The hockeywriter** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 11:50 pm

I like the Gross, Brant and Berglund line ther best because they have to do everything for this team i mean they have terrible D and no other lines so teams can key on them and they still get the job done i mean waht other line can say that Princeton big line has great D I would say Mora's is th ebest but they dont all get on the ice at the same time. and Sauk spilt up there tatlent. So The reson i pick this line is because they do a very good job with no one around them. I hope that answers your questuion what do you think on these Subjects this is for all all 2a guys?? Best Goalie? Best Defenseman? Best D pair? Best Forward? Best Forward Line? Best Team? ****Please respond on these i am curious what every one thinks******* Here are my answers: Hjelle, Mora Wocken, Sauk Rapids Larsen and Brown, Princeton Pesckamp, Sauk Rapids Gross, Brant and Berglund, Pine City Sauk or Princeton

2ahockeydude · Post by **2ahockeydude** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 10:43 am

Well, I'm not one of the SCC players. (MUCH too old for that) I'm just kind of a passive fan who likes to follow the game and happen to see them play more than others. Your rankings are probably pretty darned close to reality. The unfortunate thing is that you pass yourself (hockeywriter) off as some expert and yet you don't even make an effort to get the facts right. How can I be sure you have the other team information correct when you admit to not liking to watch certain teams (OK, you hate SCC because..... what? something happen to you there??) and so you don't bother to get the facts right? You seem to have some insight that I enjoy, but I just want it to be honest and open, not biased because some kids try to get themselves a little of the lime-light.... They're kids for crying out loud... Hockeywriter, stick to the info, you seem to be pretty good at that, and be honest and open... but just because you don't like someone, don't knock the whole system..... BTW, I thank you for the time that you do apply to getting the info out. This is a pretty good forum.. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D">

puckiNnet19 · Post by **puckiNnet19** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:03 pm

i think the best goalie in the section is hjelle by far. the top forward has to go to peckskamp, bacon is good, but when peckskamps on, hes hard to stop. the best defesnemen is wocken, big strong, decent wheels. a 4 year varsity player. top d pair is definately larsen and brown. larsen is very good at skatin the puck. akkerman and horbacz are good too. 2 really good young players that i saw were from yes SCC. chris mach and michael schmidt may not have the experience yet, but both are talented players and play well together. the best team in the section is goin to have to be princeton, unless someone can unseat them as section champs

classAhockey · Post by **classAhockey** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 10:10 pm

The best goalie would probably go to Hjelle. He's very good with handling he's rebounds and not giving up a second shot. The best foward would go to Peckscamp, he's a dominant player and is real hard to stop, i'd have to give Gross the second spot, even though many people underrate how good he is. Best Defense is Karl Larsen, so good with the puck, can make plays from anywhere on the ice and never gets burnt...such a fun player to watch. Hopefully i can catch the Princeton , Pine City game, don't look for it to be close though, Pine City may still struggle with 3 lines that can skate well together.

The hockeywriter · Post by **The hockeywriter** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 11:54 pm

Tommrow night Pine City vs Princeton here is my brack down down by postion how haves there adavntage. GOALTENDING: Pine City there advantage has to go to Pine City Osmundson has showed moemnets but Samuelson faces far more shots and has been very solid this year. So i have to give Pine City the nod in this category. DEFENSE: Princeton by far here they have 4 solid D who can all move the puck exteremly well as to Pine City who has alot of inexpereince this is a big advandtage in Princeton favor that they will have all the rest of the way this year. FORWARDS: Princeton the first line are pretty even with Pine City the little adavntage but after that Princeton blows them away with 2 more solid lines Pine shouldnt be able to keep up. It should be Princeton big bu tdont count on it I am saying a close game cause Pine always finds way to keep it close and if Princeton cant get the puck past Samulson then look for Pine to pull out a huge upset. But i am say Princeton 5-3 in a tough game but we shall see will be fun.

The hockeywriter · Post by **The hockeywriter** » Tue Jan 07, 2003 12:05 am

Also I am eager to see how Gross, Brant and Berglund matchup with another very good line in Englund, Bacon and Schneider. These are 2 of the better lines in the state I think that all 6 forwards are very good it should be fun to see how they do against each other.

classAhockey · Post by **classAhockey** » Tue Jan 07, 2003 12:39 pm

My prediction for the game is Princeton about 4 or 5 to 1, if Samuelson is on his game, and Pine City's first line can produce, this could be a huge upset for Pine City. On the other hand if Pine City doesn't show up to play it could be real ugly for them and Princeton could bury them. Should be fun to watch, hopefully i can make it over in time to see the game. I predict both first lines will have at least two goals, with Bacon scoring both for Princeton, but it may be tough for the Pine City fowards to get around the tough Defense in Princeton. Score Princeton 5 Pine City 2.

The hockeywriter · Post by **The hockeywriter** » Tue Jan 07, 2003 10:41 pm

The score doesnt tell the story the shots do they were 48-9 in favor of Princeton Pine City's Samuelson was just great as princeton dominatied the game with of the 9 shots only 3 were reall soild oppurtities when Brown and Larsen were out there Pine City couldnt get it out of there zone I thought the first lines of each team was won by Princeton with The key was Schneider really stepped up and Englund and bacon were so dominate. Princeton really had totally control of this game they just had to much depth to much speed for Pine City. Pine City just tried to with one line in the third and they were not as dominate as i thought But a nice win for Princeton ran into a really hot goalie and still win improve to 8-5 overall 4-0 in the section and 3-0 in the Rum River while Pine City drops to 5-8 overall 1-3 in the section and 1-2 in the Rum River.

i just saw an interesting score: Benilde 3 St Cloud 1. Someone give me some info on this game. There is no way SCC can hold up with BSM. SCC is not a good team and BSM is. Why was the score so close. I'm sure someone can get me answers here.

saukrapidssuperfan03 · Wed Jan 08, 2003 7:21 pm

hey maybe scc can play hockey??

classAhockey · Post by **classAhockey** » Wed Jan 08, 2003 8:18 pm

A game that was close in score but not on the ice. I got to make it over there to watch this game, Princeton is the real deal in this section , they played a real solid game but couldn't get the puck past a stellar Tony Samuelson, boy was he on last night. I can see why Pine City's first line doesn't get any scoring opportunities, there defense couldn't get the puck out or to their forwards if their life depended on it, but just horrific. Karl Larsen played exceptionallly well for Princeton, he is a very good player and can play anywhere on the ice. Bacon didn't really impress me at all, he kinda waits around for everyone to do his job, then they get the puck to him. Not a real good impression of any players. Pine city's first line is out on the ice almost all game.... must be rough.

wingfan · Post by **wingfan** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 3:11 am

I'm sorry but this is really a bad section. There is no one I have ever heard of in it besides Princeton and that's because they went to state last year. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Hermantown in this section a little bit ago? How did they get screwed out of playing in this section and having to go up against I-Falls in section 7? If I were them, I would definately being to get back in to section 2a. Plus it would make the tournament alot better to watch come March. P.S. Joey Bacon-lazy forward P.S.S. Kevin Englund-the kid is horrible, can barely skate and cant stick handle... he looks like a squirt when he skates.

ptown tigers · Post by **ptown tigers** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 11:44 am

How does it make you feel that a kid who looks like he is in squirts scored against you last year and sent it into overtime. Man you guys must have sucked if a squirt can score on you. And if we are so bad what does that say about your team if we brought you into overtime and absolutly dominated you in the 3rd period. P.S. How many squirts do you know with a beard?

bobbyorr4life · Post by **bobbyorr4life** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 6:59 pm

please dont tell me that you think you guys actually stood a chance against us last year. sure you showed up and played one period against us last year good for you what happened in the other two? oh yeah and lets say you were to win, which as we all know was very unlikely. you cant honestly say that you, yes you little ole ptown would show up and play the best hockey of your lives and beat lourdes and almost take home state. please you as well as everyone else on this board knows that that is a joke. ill ask one question of you guys put your best 2a team in section 3 or 5 or just about any other one you can think of lets see how good they do. oh and as far as explaining the whole fiasco you guys called a domination of us last year. i assume you guys have heard of an off period considerin that you in princeton have two a game. thats all that happened. its that simple thats the only chance youguys had and it still didnt work out for ya. as far as this year goes i havent seen you play but im sure it is the same lazy hockey that has somewhat become synominus with ptown over the past few years. come talk to me when you win a game in state. thanks for readin look forward to your next coment. p.s. we still<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"> ptown now=<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/mad.gif ALT=">:"> us now=<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin">

The hockeywriter · Post by **The hockeywriter** » Fri Jan 10, 2003 12:56 am

I went and watched Sauk Rapids play and I have reports on these other Setion 2A Games Wilmar 5 Sauk Rapids 4 OT, Ok tonight I wacthed a Sauk Rapids team loss to a below average Wilmar and the only players who scored were Wocken Peskamp and Striet they are a 3 deep team and tonight Degnias looked pretty bad giving up 5 goals on 20 shots Sauk Will move down in my next Power Ranking Poll and it just shows that they are not yet for real and with Breck and Lourdes coming up this could be a Sauk team in some BIG trouble. Sartell 1 Apollo 0 This score shows how bad Apollo is and how weak a usally strong CLC is this year so cathedrals and sauk's wins over Apollo mean nothing now and I heard sartell had a hot goalie but still Sartell is not in the upper caliber of weak 2A and they can beat Apollo it has been a long year for those boys but I have the cure they need to put Becker Big Lake on the schedule NOW !!!! Mora 7 Becker Big Lake 1 Umm heard it was a bad game Mora still is struggling right now but they do get there first Rum win so good for them but the wins means nothing. Princeton 4 Chisago Lakes 1 Huge game in the Rum both teams were at 3-0 in the Rum and from what I heard on the radio it was all Princeton. They dominate another pretty good oppenent the guy on the radio said that Walz was Chisago's goalie he is very good He was on the Minkato Roster for 16's and I thought he went to Hill but I guess not and from what it sounds like the big guy Osmundeson is starting to get hot in the nets if he continues to improve they team will be unstoppable I mean I saw a team on Tuesday that is really starting to play good hockey. My Toughts On The Night I saw a Sauk team that looked a little slugish and not play well and get beat I see Sartell beat Apollo for the first time in the programs History and Mora won an easy game and I am really starting to see Princeton make there move right now if they can beat Proctor tommrow then they are really on a roll it should be fun to see what happens in that one. But my final thoughts on Sauk I have been saying all year they need depth and I hate to say it cause I do like Sauk alot but they look tired and we are only half way through and this is a team that could be in trouble with lots of tough up coming oppenets.
