Sophomores with upside potential

blueline8 · Post by **blueline8** » Fri Feb 10, 2017 6:23 pm

I thought it would be fun to show some love to some unheralded sophomores who exhibit nice potential to develop into big impact players in the next two years. No need to mention the players who already get alot of mentions IMO. Any ideas out there?

Basically half of Duluth East's team. That team is going to be a force to be reckoned with the next few years with more than half the team under 16.

Yes. Duluth East's sophomore class is the most talented sophomore class north of Hinckley. You still have to play the game on the ice though. And is this really news? Deast consistently has the most talent in 7AA - having 6-8 elite players in the Elite League every year. Our section is a handful though..

East has gone to state 7 times in the past 8 years... not sure the section is as a handful as people think

I would add Mason Kruse from Brainerd, Kyler Kleven from Moorhead and Ben Doherty from Alex to this list.

I thought Cloquet had an awesome soph class that was going to finally upend the Hounds and Thunderhawks from 7AA.
