2014-2015 roster - http://www.mnhockeyhub.com/roster/show/ ... son=175782
1 kid in 8th grade on the roster; 3 kids in 9th grade

Pretty amazing. These 9 have also been in the elite league for the last 2 years and went to the state title game in 2014-2015 on the most improbable run I will ever see. Coach Randolph and the Greyhounds.

The Duluth East hockey machine/system is awesome!

Karl, I keep hearing Worth got close to Spehar in career goals, but how close is he? Also wonder how close is he to Lee, Kloos and Malmquist?

Certainly. What does sticking an 8th grader on Varsity when he tallies 3 points have to do with it? By that measure Hill-Murray and Holy Family are insanely awesome. Or maybe the kids are. I can't follow.

I do sense a significant double standard. You gush over Duluth East and have some hangup about Edina. What's the difference?

Of all the programs I am most impressed by Roseau. I know they are down right now and it has been a decade since their state title, but so what. They annually opt up to AA when they are a small A enrollment. The community support is strong. Geographically isolated, they have no advantages other than a passion for the sport that never wavers.

Worth has 87, Spehar had 166, Lee had 106, Kloos had 107, Malmquist had 94.

So with a strong finish....?

Thanks Nightman. Worth finished at about 38? Goals so far. Who was last kid on a top 20 AA team with decent SOS to get that many in one season. Kloos senior year?

Riley Tufte had 47 two years ago. Not sure if that qualifies.
Jake Wahlin 39 for White Bear Lake.
Grant Besse 44.

So Worth maybe in the top 10 statewide top 20 AA goal scorers since 2000? Season and career ....

My guess is, it's an area code thing.

Let’s put it this way, he’s arguably #1 in AA goal scorers... produced by the Proctor hockey assn The kid is one hell of a SNIPER...period!

59 , let me ask this—-

Does anyone in the Duluth Superior metro ever play for the same high school as where they played their youth hockey?

Most Do!!! But it’s a free country. Can’t blame a handful (or two) of top end talent kids...wanting a shot at the MN AA State Hockey Tourney. Paine of DE & several kids on DM, most notably the D who scored the OT winner for DM over STA...are all
former Superior hockey Assn players.

.
CEC keeps 99.9% of their kids unless they leave to junior hockey before their senior year. Proctor and Denfeld get ravaged alot. I don't see Denfeld hockey around in 5 -10 years. Duluth Marshall is the destination for Hermantown kids exclusively for towners who loose lots of oppurtinities with the move ins. With Hermantown kids and recruiting, I see Duluth Marshall as a serious player endifinetely. Duuth East gets Proctor kids. You would never see a hermantown kid go to east.....east and rapids will always be in good shape. CEC will always stuble along as the ugly duckling of 218 hockey. not sure why that is, but thats just the way it is up here.

If Duluth Marshall actually had a school, and didn't go to school in a strip mall, I think that place would explode. The school is kinda embarrasing for a private - being that the school is an actual strip mall not an actual school. at least that's what it reminds me of....a strip mall..

Most kids up the north schore/wisconsin enroll at east. iron range to hermantown or grand rapids. hibbing is in a class with proctor loosing alot of their kids to hermantown. big time. with the internet, cell phones, and all the technonolgy, the world is shrinking. and thats an advantage to schools that get kids moving in. Hermantown will go to 9 out of the next 10 class A state championships. you heard it here first...that's a fricking hockey machine over there just past the shopping mall in Duluth.

Grannis a unique situation?

Any kid(s) south of Hinckley moving to the twin ports to play puck. 100% will play at Duluth Marshall.

Still uncommitted. Any idea why?

Seems like a safe guess. He's at 40 this season after the GR game for 87 in his career. With those two, he passed Nick Licari for 3rd on the East list since we have stats (since 90-91). I have (or, rather, Lee has) Spehar at 163 and Locker at 92.

Of the other goal-scorers listed above, Worth is more in the mold of Besse in that he's a finisher above all else...I wouldn't describe him as the complete playmaker Kloos or Malmquist were, or the physical force that Tufte was. Besse, of course, was the best pure scorer at the HS level since Spehar. A more apt comparison for Garrett might be Marshall Everson off those great Edina teams. He didn't quite have the higher-end potential of some of his linemates (Lee, Budish before the injury), but he's a huge difference-maker at the HS level, and certainly has the tools to be productive at the college level. Garrett is small and has also had some maturing to do, both on and off the ice. But he has come some ways from where he was a year or two ago, and it should only be a matter of time before some program calls his name. There's certainly been good interest.

There’s not enough mustard in Minnesota to cover him and his line mates.
