College Commits - Former MN High Schoolers'
Moderators: Mitch Hawker, east hockey, karl(east)
Congrats to Jake Horton Umass and Ben Newhouse Union.
With these two new commits, the 2012 BSM team has eight D1 commits (Besse, Labosky, Moore, Horton, Newhouse, Glover, Horn, Collins). And even with this many, they would not have won the tourney without great play by Quale in the net.
I looked uip Edina's team from last year and they have six already (Reno, Nelson, Anderson, Hurley, Malmquist, Nanne) with another four that are liley to end up somewhere (Munson, Fidler, Brauer, Masterman). So they wil probalby get at least eight from that team.
So my question is, is this kind of depth required to win a state tournment? Any fans out there who can tell me how many eventual D1 guys played on the State Champ teams of the last several years? How about you old guys who won way back in the day?

Over the summer I started (and didn't finish) a project to chart the post-HS careers from players on State Tourney teams.bsmguy wrote:So my question is, is this kind of depth required to win a state tournment?

Off the top of my head, the most D-I players on any one team was 1996 Duluth East (11). The 92-94 Jefferson teams had about 9 every year. A few won it with 3 or 4, but I think most are in the 5-7 range.
Give me a day or two and I could dig it all up.
And I believe in 2012 when BSM won Naas (Uconn) was playing at Blake....was Johnny Austin (UConn commit as well) just a bantam that year?bsmguy wrote:Congrats to Jake Horton Umass and Ben Newhouse Union.

Karl-
Would love to see this project. Very cool. Don't quote me but I believe the 93 Jefferson team had more than 9. Off top of my head: Mike Crowley, Joe Bianchi, Nick Checcho, Ian Peterson, Dan Trebil, Brian Lafluer, Ben Clymer, Mark Parrish, Mike Anderson, Josh Dewolf. Sure I'm missing a few. What a team!
Who were the 11 from 96 Duluth East? Dave Spehar, Nick Angell, Dylan Mills, Andy Wheeler, Ryan Coole, Adam Coole. Not sure if you counted Chris Locker who I know committed to Wisconsin but never officially played there....possibly most talented player on team was Pat Finnegan who at time was a freshman and in my opinion best HS hockey d man I have seen in last 20 years.
Johnny Austin was also at Blake. He started playing there by at least freshman year, Maybe even as an 8th grader.Sats81 wrote:And I believe in 2012 when BSM won Naas (Uconn) was playing at Blake....was Johnny Austin (UConn commit as well) just a bantam that year?bsmguy wrote:Congrats to Jake Horton Umass and Ben Newhouse Union.

They were both playing varsity, but that had no effect on the 2012 BSM team. These stats for the past few champs would be interesting. Based on what I'm reading, my money is on Edina (even though it already was).Sats81 wrote: And I believe in 2012 when BSM won Naas (Uconn) was playing at Blake....was Johnny Austin (UConn commit as well) just a bantam that year?

It's mostly in a spreadsheet; I'll try to upload it somewhere later.Sats81 wrote: Karl-

This mostly involved taking State Tourney rosters and running the names through hockeydb...that has reliability issues, especially as you go further back, but it's the best I can do in a pinch. Looking through it, I may also have a few programs listed as D-I when they weren't D-I yet.
I have 9 for 93 Jefferson: Nick Checco, Brian LaFleur, Dusty Anderson, Mike Crowley, Mike Skogland, Joe Bianchi, Mark Parrish, Mike Anderson, Josh DeWolf
Where did Ian Peterson play? Hockeydb doesn't have him playing D-I, but like I said, they miss some things. It doesn't look like Clymer, who was a freshman, was on the playoff roster. I count 18 players on that roster playing past HS.
96 East: Dave Spehar, Ted Suihkonen, Dylan Mills, Matt Mathias, Ryan Coole, Andy Wheeler, Kyle Kolquist, Jon Toftey, Adam Coole, Steve Suihkonen, Nick Anderson. Pat Gunderson also got in one D-I game, so we could technically say 12. Did not count Finnegan or Locker, and Angell, believe it or not, played JV as a sophomore. (Anderson too, mostly, but he was on the unused 4th line at State.)

Ian Peterson played at CC. He is Toby Petersons older brother. Almost certain Clymer played as a freshman in 93. Dan Trebil must have graduated HS in 92.
Are you sure Angell didn't play varsity as a soph in 96? I swear he played in AV 5 OT thriller.

East D pairs in 96 were:
Mills-Coole
Gunderson-Flaherty
Finnegan-S. Suihkonen
Two solid D-I juniors, 2 D-III seniors, and then two very, very good freshmen. Suihkonen transferred to Hibbing after that year.
