Champlin Park Rebels.. Dark Horse
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2007 2:26 am
Champlin has one of THEE premier scoring lines in the state in Herzog, Grandner, and Meyers...
Grandner.... the engine of this group if he scores this team wins... he does stuff with the puck , without the puck , offensive zone, defensive zone.. power ply... PK... etc etc... he is the X factor.. Good season for him good season for the team
Meyers.... An absolute Goal Scorer this kid can put the puck in the net.... with his handles and speed this could could contend for top goal scorer in the Section.
Herzog... The Perfect Role player for this line.... this kid scores when needed... doesn't back down from anyone.. and will take the occasional dive when needed. Every great line needs a kid like herzog and he fits perfectly with the other two.
I dub this line the Red Tag Line.... story behind that is GMC ( Grandner Meyers Chad ..Herzogs first name) always has a red tag sale event and yes thats the story.
if these three get some help from the younger lines this team could put a scare into the top teams of the section.... maple grove, Centenial, and Blaine.
The Rebels lost only 5 seniors and other then two solid defensemen in Krych and Jackson it wasnt to big of a loss. The Rebels will get a injured defensemen back in Mylrea who could be a great player especially on the power play at the point.
Brandon Jager returns as the little goalie that could and will keep Champlin competetive no matter what.
Guys who could have big years that could have a big impact for this team are Bradbury at forward, Perry also at forward, and Wood at forward.
At defense John Mankey and previously mentioned a comeback from Mylrea would be huge for this team.
The Rebels are a big time dark horse but this team has alot of heart and there biggest loss of all might be the senior fan section from 06'- 07' hopefully the new fans will step up and help this team to glory.
Prediction ... Rebs above .500 and a loss in the section championship game to Maple Grove.
BUT could do more!
MVP- Grandner
OPY- Meyers
DPY- Mylrea
GO REBEL NATION!!!!!!!!
