My sons team has been in some tournaments to past year with the likes of Edina, Wayzata, White Bear Lake, Eden Prairie. We didn't fair to well against these teams. I would like to know your top 10 teams in the state. Why does Minnesota not have a state tournament, when their is Silver Stick and a National Squirt Championship?

I wasn't aware of the national Squirt championship.

Recognizing the "they're only Squirts" caveat, from what I have seen:

1. Edina
2. Wayzata
3. EP
4. Lakeville North
5. Maple Grove
6. WBL
7. Burnsville
8. Jefferson
9. Gersich (oops, I mean Chaska)
10. Lakeville South

Also receiving votes: Eastview, Elk River

This is how I seen it.

1. Edina
2. WBL
3. Maple Grove
4. Wayzata
5. Elk River
6. Lakeville North
7. EP
8. Stillwater
9. Burnsville
10. Anyones guess?

gersich will be a peewee next year..

Nice to see you back Watchdog! Always nice to get another northern view on this site.

Take the 10 teams that had the highest finishes in the Fargo Tournament and you will have your top 10 Squirt teams in the state. That may miss a couple, but for the most part the best teams in MN were there.

Using my Fargo theory:

1- Edina
2- Wayzata
3- Maple Grove
4- East Grand Forks
5- Eden Prairie
6- White Bear Lake
7- Burnsville
8- Bloom-Jefferson
9- Chaska
10- Crookston

Most, but not all top teams are at the Fargo Tourney. Some Districts have District playoffs that weekend and are not allowed to participate in this tournament. One is District 10 (Teams like Centennial, Elk River, Blaine, Andover, Champlin Park, etc…..)

I witnessed Elk River play Edina in White Bear at the Moose Goheen Tournament for the Championship. Elk River was up on them for most of the game, but in the end lost. Skated right with Edina.

Perhaps District 10 would get smart and change the dates of their District Tournament so they can play in Fargo....

I do like the Fargo Theory that egf hockey 1 used, and I looked at some others and wonder why there is no Love for Eden Prairie look at egf hockey 1 rankings and EP played 5 of his top 10 and won 7 of 9 games against those team and also is the only team to beat the mighty mighty Edina Squirt A Hornets. I do know they played not great hockey the last month on the year, but Eden Prairie in my book is the second best team this year in Squirt A hockey and my son plays for a D8 team that played EP. I did see the game they lost to Wayzata in Fargo and the one in Bloomington, EP got out played in Bloomington and out played Wayzata in Fargo but lost to Rem Pitlick. But like someone wrote it doesn't matter because it is only Squirts and I bet they are the same people the play year round. GO WILD GO! SWEEP THE AVS.
