lourdes should be good, i belive whole top line is back.
albert lea will be strong as always
west loses almost everything
red wing..no idea
new prague will be in my mind one of the top teams, alot returning
faribault is a team to watch as they return almost their entire team and gain alot from a VERY good bantam team. only lose pavek and smuda. most of scoring but youngsters have that first year out of way
northfield will be average
the rest i dont know

new prague will be unstoppable only problem is no tender.
lourdes will also be very senior dominated with tons of talent.

1) Lourdes
1a) New Prague

3-12) Everyone else....it will be a two horse race....not to say AL, West, RW couldn't pull an upset, but NP and Lourdes bring back almost everything.

you think that np will really get lapic back? i thought he was leaving last year and i may be really wrong but i have heard Ambroz may leave as well

If it's true that Barger is gone could that have an effect on Ambroz and/or Lapic leaving. Either they may say the heck with it and leave hearing they will be getting their third head coach, or if they (their parents) had something to do with getting rid of Barger that may make them stay.

Lourdes will be the favorite next year with NP right behind them (granted Lapic and Ambroz stay). Lourdes lost nothing and returns a very fast, deep group of juniors with that loss to west in the back of their minds all season. Their team next year will be West's team this year. I heard they have a good goalie coming up?
Farbo has a good group of underclassmen/bantams. they'll be a suprise team i think.
AL is always good. They could have JV piss and Roy would somehow transform them into winning machines
West has their goalie back. IMO one of the best goalies in the state which could make for some upsets next year.
RW may be good, i have no info on them.
1A established themselves as very good, and deep section this year, let's keep that competitiveness going into 08/09

Red Wing will have a very good squad and will be a top contender in 1a next year.

Ambroz may defect... word on street...
Could really hurt New Prague, NP needs one-two punch w/ Ambroz & Lapic

Not surprised, with Barger gone he's probably ready to go. I heard he was on the fence before they canned Barger. Drop NP a notch or two in Section 1A.
