Obviously Centennial is the favorite, with Blaine closely behind. Maple Grove is still undefeated, but really hasn’t had a good test yet. I personally think this conference could be up for grabs by the end of this year. Keep an eye on this conference.

Elk River.

I knew I was forgetting somebody and that was it. My bad. Didn't bother with North Metro though.

"Obviously Centennial"...what you smokin Willis...

you did forget Elk river but i believe cenntenial will win it but Elk River has a very youn talented team and should be fun to watch phnom freshman goalie we will see if he can mature fast enough but blaine should be good along with a suprisingly a lot better andover sqaud . Dont think maple will amount to much Osseo can go either way always have good goalies give a lot of credit to there goalie coach larson

On paper, Centennial has the most talent and is the favorite...but since the best coaching in the Centennial system historically occurs at the Bantam "A" level (KR)...we'll see...I think Blaine will definitely give them a run for they're money.

Maple Grove has some really good seniors in Malone, Gross and Cossette...goaltending will tell the story regarding how far they go....Osseo should be up this year with Krey & Company and I think Andover will be above .500 in the NWSC.

ER...will find out more about them this Thursday when they try to avenge being "broomed" by Anoka last season

1) Centennial
2) Blaine
3) Andover
4) Elk River

Blaine and Andover will compete in every game. It should be fun to see how it unfolds. Three very good teams.

I believe it when i see it its hard to believe andover will ever contend in the NWSC i hope the do i like them better then a lot of the other schools but i dont see this year being the one they do that. And anoka is way down this year elk river should be able to reverse the sweeb the got berkley and thats really it i am friends with a guy from last years team and he said maybe ten wins this year.

Isn't Champlin still in the conference? They should be good this year, Solid G and some strong incoming sophmores to give them a little depth.

state champion will come out of conference-Blaine or Centennial-probably next year also

Can't say I agree with you at all hockeytown27. I see Centennial, Blaine, Osseo & Maple Grove rounding out the top four. The rest of the teams will be fighting to stay out of the cellar. I think any one of these teams could make it to state. We all know that anyone going to State will have to go through the Cougars to get there!!

Maple Grove 6
Champlin Park 0

I watched Maple Grove play last night. They are an extremely fast team.

Did I hear correctly that Centennial put up 15 goals against Coon Rapids last night? So is Coon Rapids really that bad or is Centennial just that much better...

Osseo vs Blaine - Anyone have the score and recap of the game???

Hockeytown ER is definitely in the top six teams that's for sure. I was just checking out ER upcoming schedule and it will be very Demanding to say the least. They get a pass against NM and then go on a brutal eight game stretch against some of the best teams in the state. Well see how well they hold up...

The way I see it panning out.

1. Centennial
2. Maple Grove
3. Blaine
4. Andover
5. Osseo
6. Elk River

lol maple grove haha.

I like the Chiefs this year, but they have a scary tradition of losing to Blaine at the worst times. Hopefully they can get past that this year!

7-3 wins by Blaines Varsity and JV.

Quit stealing my one-liners, Empire.

Have you seen Maple Grove play?

I'll do a bit of rearranging.

1. Centennial
2. Maple Grove
3. Blaine
4. Elk River
5. Andover
6. Osseo
7. Champlin Park
8. Anoka
9. North Metro
10. Coon Rapids

Is Coon Rapids that bad this year?
