Roseville will be a little weaker then last year.
CDH will be down but not out. 1 strong line w/zimmerman and alt at D
Forest Lake will surprise Moberg will be tougher
Park will be down lost a lot of seniors jr class not many kids
Hastings will be down but return Gleinser lost Horsch at D.
MV will be mid pack Civello back in nets
Stillwater will be stronger at offense lost a lot at defense goaltending will be solid
Woodbury will be strong question in nets and ability to put the puck away consitantly
Based on success of JV teams last year
WBL was strong and deep 3 lines
Woodbury was strong and deep lines
Stillwater had a line or 2
Roseville was strong 2 lines
The rest didn't have much that I saw at JV.
I think WBL could take care of HILL next year in the Section, they will just have to keep it together to get that far. This will again be the Toughest Conference (SEC) and Section (4AA) in the State.
In my opinion
White Bear could take care of Hill any year as history has shown. But I think White Bear is still a year away from going back to state to try and break the curse. Hill returns a strong team and if they can get some decent goaltending they should be a top 5 team in state. White Bear, from what I could tell this year, is full of solid hard working players but they are short on elite talent. Maybe some of the younger kids cracking varsity this year can be difference makers. That will be yet to be seen. I think they would have to be considered the favorite in the SEC once again as they seem to win or tie for the title pretty much every year. How do I know that H-M will raise their state banner at the White Bear game...Pucknutz69 wrote:I think WBL could take care of HILL next year in the Section, they will just have to keep it together to get that far.

Woodbury will have 3 seniors-Pittman, Harman, and Seidel (he was out most of this year with an elbow injury).RBK26 wrote:WBL will probably be the favorite in the section. They have many good forwards back and a few d.
Cdh will be second. They have around twelve returners. They return there 2nd leading scorer in Bangs, and their third in Zimmerman. They also have ALt who is sick and will be their best guy and the conferences.
Woodbury will be rough losing practically their whole team. They will have 3 forwards back, 2 d and no goalie. They have one senior, so it will be a roughy ride.
Stillwater should be solid and so should Flake.
As I said, Seidel was out most of the year with an elbow injury and when he did come back was at maybe 75%. And I know Harman didn't play much, but I was just pointing out taht he will be a senior on the roster at the very least. And don't count out Woodbury just yet, they do have arguably the best coach in the state on the bench.RBK26 wrote:seidel didn't play one varsity game and harman probably averaged a shift a game and he actually played some jv games, so they really only have one senior. They will be garbage.
So you are saying Woodbury has no Talent?? I think you will be eating those words they have a very good group at the Jr level for next year. Goaltending will be the only question mark in the next 2 years.RBK26 wrote:i agree with you bolen is a great coach probably the best, but he can't make up for no talent. He isn't that good.
I don't think he will go to St. Thomas since he went there his 8th grade year and hated itSEC Scotty wrote:Is Max Birkenbine going to stay in White Bear Lake? I heard somewhere he was going to St. Thomas.
How good is he?thiscrazygame wrote:I don't think he will go to St. Thomas since he went there his 8th grade year and hated itSEC Scotty wrote:Is Max Birkenbine going to stay in White Bear Lake? I heard somewhere he was going to St. Thomas.
I'd bet they are having Hill back that day too. Pretty soon Hockey Day in Minnesota will be its own small tourney at the Xcel center...BodyShots wrote:Rumor has it WBL is playing Duluth East at the Xcel for Hockey Day in Minnesota on 1/17/09. Can anybody confirm this?
