thank you sta, i do agree with you. however we do hace a couple of players who will be trying out for the varsity team. so if we lose either of them its going to put a heavier load on the younger players and returners to take their place.

CNT- when can we expect an update. Now that many metro teams are firmed up I see some big changes coming in the rankings. Not sure all the so called top teams are as strong as expected.

I'm assuming you meant CNF as in Chuck Norris Fan, he's a bit more in tune with the youth rankings then I.
I do know that Rogers (Not Rodgers) will have a decent Bantam A team this year, and probably a good PWA team as well.

Not much happening on the bantam front this last couple of weeks, but the Centennial Preview is a the end of the month and should make for some fantastic hockey. Make sure you guys are posting scores and getting schedules out there so we can make it to games.

2. East - Is this the year of the north?
3. Maple Grove/ Osseo - Great defensemen
4. Grand Rapids -
5. Edina -
6. Rochester - one team for one big city
7. WBL - Defense is the word of the day, as always
8. Apple Valley - Still has some yound talent
9. EP - hard nose hockey.. new for EP
10. Roseau -
11. East Grand -
12. Woodbury -
13. Moorhead -
14. Minnetonka-
15. Eagan -
16. Coon Rapids - barely beat a average Prior Lake team

Roseau is a whole different animal... no other city has a rink open to kids when ever they want to use it free of charge.
Heard the lakers are not having an A team this year.
Any score updates?

Because they don't play any top teams , and they can't get it together at the end of the year.

Thanks CNF! Nice work, but it's not really work is it? You are right, it will be a fun year.

1 game on Saturday at Circle Pines worth watching:
Rematch of Wayzata and Shattuck. The first game was a classic, back and forth, up and down, big guns on both teams all scored, game. Lucia/Besse/wish I knew the 3rd kids name line is as good as it gets in Bantams this year.

CNF, I think Empire's Elks are making a run up north to play GR19's bantams, 'Clooooooooqaaaaaaay' and Serty's Hermantown Hawks. Will try to get you scores but might be tough to do from the (bow hunting)deer stand.
