Composite Top 10 rankings from hockey media outlets Let's Play Hockey, Youth Hockey Hub, Legacy Hockey, and MNHockey.TV. Moorhead and Hill-Murray are the unanimous top two teams across the polls.

1 Moorhead
2 Hill-Murray
3 Minnetonka
4 Edina
5 STA
6 Rogers
7 Holy Angels
8 Rosemount
9 CDH
10 Maple Grove

On the bubble: Wayzata (1 #9 vote), Shakopee (1 #10 vote), and Andover (1 #10 vote)

Here's my cogent analysis of the situation:

When we get down to brass tacks, what matters is who is playing hockey in March, so let's look at this from a section perspective. Moorhead, Hill, and Tonka are looking like solid bets to win their sections and be serious contenders. Edina/Rogers will likely make for another solid contender. St. Thomas is not as much of a lock to win their section, but they're pretty close, and would also be a contender.

Everyone else would be fortunate to be playing in a semifinal game. And it looks like the 4/5 game will be worth staying up late for. But remember, the goal each season is to make the semifinal; once you get that far, anything can happen.

Moodhead has the burden of trying to repeat, which won't happen if they rest on their laurels and don't stay hungry. Everyone else will be plenty hungry. (And if you've never rested on your laurels, you have no idea how pleasurable that can be.)

ESPG is dialed in.

He was born dialed in. Chuck Norris aspires to be ESPG.
