who do you think the best second year bantam A player in the state is?

In my opinion, one of the best is #9 from Hermantown. He makes everyone around him better. It seems like he has a magnet on his stick, the puck always seems to stay with him. I'm not saying he's the best out there, but very skilled and determined.

Jordan Lovick is the best forward. Blake Thompsan is the best defencemen. and Meyers is the best goalie

Haven't a lot of people caught up to Lovick? He ain't what he was 2 years ago.

Lovick is still the man in Centennial and they're doing just fine thank you very much.

You are right about that. Lovick is the man at Centennial. Without him, Centennial isn't that awesome a team.

cenn is strugglin this this andover beat em!

Mark Alt was the best A Bantem but he left for HS

rbkhockey19. how is lovick overrated? ok maybe he didnt get a point against andover but he really doesnt have much to work with as far as forwards go. he is the only second year on the team getting much of anything done. and calling him overrated obviously means u have a low self-esteem but i dont care get over it[/quote]

ok buddy?

lovick is a solid player....but hes not doing as good as he was last year...last year he had over 100 goals but he was playing with two captains so that helped him a lot...cenntenial isnt nearly as good as they were 2 years ago

i agree ovy14 he isnt who u play with has alot to do with it but is still a great player, but im not sure if he is the type that can lead a team without at least 1 or 2 "helpers" and rbkhockey u suck

lutzka from duluth east is definitely up there

lovick has no one to work with so his strugglin.

Uh, hey everyone. I guess you could say I'm new here. My name's Curt Slax and I'm from Cottage Grove. Personally, I think Chuck Flatlander, from Como, is the best 2nd year in MN. He is way underrated, and many of you probably have not heard of him. But I say he's going pro when he's a junior in High School.

I REALLY, REALLY hope that going to pro thing during high school was a joke...

ok buddy?

Brock Nelson from warroad is one of the best.if you ever watch a warroad bantam A game you will defintily notice him on the ice. he's got 32 pts through 11 games.

if he was really this good we would have heard of him and to be honest he still wouldnt be at Como if he and his parents thought he was so good

HAHA COMO? if that kid is that good why is como so bad? anyway. and oh that #9 from hermintown...not that good, and he doesn't make kids around him better. how about SERIOUS POST ONLY. haha seriously.

its im possible to find the best 2nd year bantam because if they really are as good as you guys say, then they would have moved up to high school early like the rest of the skilled players at their age

Taft, a 2nd year from Edina, should have played high school hockey although he decided to play Bantams with his friends. How can a player not want to play with his friends?

In my opinion, after watching the Edina Bantam Team play in a few tournaments this year, he would have been better off and developed quicker playing against older kids - better competition, more talented players and a faster paced game.

Maybe his Bantam coach said he would develop just as much playing another year of bantams vs. playing against the high school players. Can't say I would agree as the the Bantam level is down compared to previous years.

thats probably right eddy, and i assume that he would have developed better playing HS, but then again he's playing with his friends even though Edina is struggling, can't turn back the clock now

Hey ephockey9 who would you say would be the best player on Ep If your on A?

im not on A, but i would say Thompson for sure...he hits hard, he can skate, and he can stick handle, even though he might get a little carried away sometimes with being a goon, but he is a great player.
