YouthHockeyHub · Post by **YouthHockeyHub** » Sat Feb 13, 2016 2:20 am

We named our finalists for Player of the Year this morning. A little different twist, we include non-seniors and included a goalie. We also did a fun short interview with each player.

Enjoy,

TS

Congrats to YHH on successful first year coverage of MSHSL

Congrats to all the kids mentioned

And congrats to Luke Noterman who always seems to fly under the radar

Yeah, where the F@$# is Notermann? It's not like he is just a passenger on the Tufte express or anything. Luke is very good in his own right.

Unfortunately it looks like his year might be over. Tough break for him and his team.

There are only 5 players and 10 HM, lots of quality players not on here.

The clear number one in the state loses its best player, and the huge pack gets even tighter. Crazy sections and tournament coming up.

Very hard to argue that Notermann is not one of the top 15 players in the state.

It is to bad nobody has Nick Leitner from Bemidji on any of these lists. Very good player who is the backbone of a good team.

Exactly. And his favorite goalie is missing

HM player who puts up smaller numbers than when he's a junior while playing on a more experienced team. Makes sense along with the Mr. Hockey nominations and your goalie pick who didn't play a third of the year (not because of injury).
