I definitely have to agree with your 7AA pick.. I also see them taking the state title.

7AA will definitely be interesting. Grand Rapids has the horses, East is East, Cloquet is young, Marshall is a private school, and Elk has overwhelming numbers. My heart and soul hopes always for CEC. It will fun to watch this section as always :)

Explain this thinking. What does south have this year that they didn't last year? Almost no changes to D and forwards. D is good, forwards and goalie are OK. They also lost a goalie to minnetonka.

BB--

Agree with your winners except 8AA is so close that its too close to call-- so Im going with Bemidji due to returning starting goalie Fitzgerald

Regarding the runnerups:

As usual, 2AA has several top 10/top 5 teams. Mtka might be a year away from winning it all for a couple straight years. So, agree that HF gets the edge over Tonka for being the 2017 runnerup due to returning starting goalie Moe

7AA, I will take Elk as a runner up, again giving weight to returning starting goalie Meyers.

Heard that lost goalie should have been a varsity goalie. Maybe that is why he left?
