What teams lost the most? I think STA would be incredible and WBL would have been top 5 in AA, also Hopkins would be even better.

Disappointing that Little Falls lost their best player ever

Jared Festler

LF is good but would be unbelievable with Festler on their first line

Ben Arnt would be a senior this season. He was a great goal scorer for North St. Paul. He's been impressive in Omaha lately though.

Chaska would have truly been a "sleeper" instead of in a coma with Nick Mattson.

I know you don't want to listen to, "if Ness would have stayed", next year. Nobody will feel sorry for Roseau next year and nobody feels sorry for the rest of you this year.

Mattson would have made a huge difference. When you look back to Chaska in the early years, you had the Reilly brothers (now good scorers for Holy Angels), Mattson (one of the top defensement in the State) and another kid who went to Holy family I believe. If they were all still at Chaska along with Plucinek in net, they would be a definite threat in the Lake. Chaska has a good youth program and just has to learn how to keep them there for H.S..

I agree. Mattson, the Reilly boys, Hamrick, Daly etc...moved the puck as well as any team I've ever seen at the Pee Wee level. None of them are playing for Chaska High School. I don't begrudge these kids for leaving but it would have been interesting to see how good the Hawks would have been had they stayed.

How about STA with a top line of
Walter Schroeder Larson
with Crandall in nets!

i'm definatly not a cadet fan, but that would have been scary! it's a good thing the vannelli's are so arrogant!!

One of the best high school players ever? We might be dumber for reading what you wrote.

That being noted, Kristo should be an outstanding college player and has done very well @ NTDP

St Thomas would probably be by far the best team in state the last two years. Probably next year two. Probably would also be in AA right now.

Little Falls would be a top team in A.

All I know about

Eveleth lost over the last couple of years.

Zach Mausaf-Duluth Marshall
Jacob Boese-Duluth East
Troy Grivette-Virginia
Trevor Tracy-Duluth Central

Add those players to Eveleths team and they are Section 7A contenders.

I thought Hoeffel was injured last year at the U of M.

Hoeffel spent his senior year in Ann Arbor and blew out his knee during the season. He is in his first year at the U this season.
