8 MN boy's in the 1st 2 round's of the draft. Pretty impressive <p></p><i></i>

Are the 2 Shattuck kids from MN? <p></p><i></i>

Yes, Okposo is from the Highland Park area of St. Paul and Dowzak is from Fergus Falls <p></p><i></i>

Here is URL for the draft results.<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.ushl.com/draft/2005/results.cfm" target="top">www.ushl.com/draft/2005/results.cfm</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br> <p></p><i></i>

i was very impressed that so many minnesota boys were drafted. goes to show that minnesota does truly rule in the world of hockey. <p></p><i></i>

Yes, MN does rule the Hockey World. No doubt about it.<br><br>Congrats to Matt Godlewski on getting picked by Des Moines <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... lasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>Elk River AA State Champions- 2001 Boys & 2004 Girls</p><i></i>

Its also interesting to see all the MN High School boys picked before the big time AAA teams and Eastern Prep schools. <p></p><i></i>

Im surprised at the LACK of Minnesotans drafted this year. Anybody know how many were drafted last year compared to this year? <br><br>Biggest surprise though has to be all the NAHL kids going. Each player costs quite a bit of money in compunsation. <p></p><i></i>

Not 100% of my math/id skills but 2004 (35) / 2005 (32) for MN boys<br>Round 2004 2005<br>1 1 6<br>2 4 3<br>3 3 1<br>4 5 2<br>5 2 1 <br>6 2 2<br>7 1 2<br>8 1 2<br>9 1 0 <br>10 1 0<br>13 3 0<br>14 5 3<br>15 2 3<br>16 1 2<br>17 2 1<br>18 1 2<br>20 0 1<br>21 0 1 <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p074.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... liott70</A> at: 5/13/05 10:30 am<br></i>

rl, not surprised to tyson of fergus go early. very impressed with his skills through the years. how would you compare tyson to, let's say finney from edina...who left that program before his junior year to play "juniors"? two big players...tyson has better skating skills, however, finney has one mean shot from point! <p></p><i></i>

After seeing you numbers I went through and only counted kids out of Minnesota High Schools. I didn't include NAHL players or Shattuck kids. <br><br><br>2004 2005<br><br>35 25<br><br><br>Of the 25 selected, nine were underclassmen. Meaning only 14 of our Seniors got drafted this year. Given the amount of players who get cut from the 30 man rosters, I wonder if Minnesota will even have 10 players playing in the USHL next year who played High School hockey the year the year before? <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I have 36 total MN kids. That is out of high school, other junior teams, shattuck or college. 179 players were taken. MN owns 20% of the draft. <p></p><i></i>

I don't have the time to go through all of the USHL rosters but I think the number of MN Seniors headed to USHL tryouts will go up a bit when you include the kids that already were commited from previous futures drafts and they got there 10 games in. ex. Lee, Oshie, etc <p></p><i></i>

That's a good point Neutralzone. It will increase by quite a bit as many were selected last August. <p></p><i></i>

Congrats to my hometown boy Patrick White being picked by Tri-City!<br><br>He has a bright future. <p></p><i></i>

im with jr.hockey......last year didnt 5 guys from so. st. paul alone get drafted?.....this year the whole state got how many?.....seems light..... <p></p><i></i>

it does seem alittle light but think of all the guys that left early last year Rau,wheeler, Finley...etc....and how many were taken last year and split seasoned they seemed to have a strong classes that always played up <p></p><i></i>

I heard that Okposo and Dowzak both got drafted in the first round of the draft, I also heard they got cut from MN select 17 team, is this true. will they stay at shattuck or go and play got their respective USHL teams next year. <p></p><i></i>

have always been a strong group--frazee-stoa-findley-staloch-rau-milo-thang-ssm players-others hs players10-10-lee-ambrose-pilot-etc plus the other30 plus players--mn hockey alive and well <p></p><i></i>

alittle bit off topic but has mike montgumery of centennial been drafted this year or last year? <p></p><i></i>

Didn't see him on this year or last years draft list <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... lasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>Elk River AA State Champions- 2001 Boys & 2004 Girls</p><i></i>

thats upsetting. he must not have a lot of drive in him becasue with his size u think he could b good<br><br>Thanks for the post <p></p><i></i>

Montgomery signed a tender with the Owatonna team... Southern Minnesota Express... He'll head there along with Quinn Ellingson and Centennial teammate travis vermuellen <p></p><i></i>

Vermuellen is going to make the Sioux Falls team, so he'll be riding solo <p></p><i></i>
