Should never rank the Marvin, er, Warroad team until the first game.

Won't know for sure who's on the team until then.

Does anyone have a good list of players who weren't seniors last year and left their respective HS programs this year? Where they went would be great too...

See the list toward the end of this page: http://www.ushsho.com/forums/viewtopic. ... c&start=25

I tailed off in maintenance of it toward the end, I know Brendan Bushy (TRF) is in the USHL and not on there, and Jensen Zerban of Elk River is in the NAHL. Might be one or two others I'm forgetting, but this is probably the best you're going to get.

Awesome. Good source.

It'll be interesting to see how Hibbing and Cathedral are affected with losing goalies. Cathedral's starter this year had some good experience last year, but it seems like it'll be a bigger blow to Hibbing.

Jaxon Nelson is gone from Luverne. Nick Behrend, their junior #5 scorer from last year, is also not on this year's roster on the hub. Any info on that?

Nick Behrend went to play with the Jr. Stampede out of Sioux Falls.
