Minnesota Hockey Magazine Preseason AA Top 10
http://minnesotahockeymag.com/boys-clas ... -rankings/
My opinion: LN too high (yes I can be very realistic), Duluth East, Blaine, BSM and Wayzata ranked too high. Edina and HM ranked too low. GR, Bemidji right where they belong.

I agree those rankings are off, but Frederick? Come on now!Whopper2 wrote:I watch over 200 hockey games a year and been doing it for eleven years. The only one that watches more games is fredrick who has become a student of the game. May be we could get him to rank the teams who happens to be a writer too.
Freddie would have ranked Edina 10th. He's never been a big Edina fan. Go back and read some of his posts from prior years.Sats81 wrote:I agree those rankings are off, but Frederick?

East will start Meierhoff in goal this year. He played several high school games last year and did ok in there. I am more confident about who East will have in net that I am about who Rapids will. I know your 10th grader played in the "Elite" league behind 2 of the best D in the state (and still did worse numbers wise than Denfeld's goalie did) and survived but if I was a Rapids fan I would not be reserving my rooms just yet. That and the fact that even if one of the 10th graders does get a shot at it Rapids also has a 12th grader who will probably get some games as well.TheHockeyDJ wrote:People do lots of things often and still do it poorly....
Perhaps East is too high, but if so the only question I have with them is in goal.
I am not so sure that I like East ranked that high, I know I don't like Rapids ranked that high before the first puck drops. Big difference between Bantams and High School hockey, especially at that position.

Wet Paint, I was only talking about the East goalie. Just curious where I even mentioned GR in that post or if I ever said he has established himself as Jon Casey already. I suppose the next time I mention the East goalie it will have something to do with the Cloquet goalie, or the Swedish Elite team goalie. Stop putting words in my mouth.

I had to do a double take when I saw that, maybe if it was "consideration for the top 20" then they would be mentioned.BodyShots wrote:Are we sure these rankings are for this year? WBL in consideration for anything to do with Hockey Rankings is beyond comprehension.

Sats, I like this group of kids. I also like that the coaches got wise and named Sr Captains. The three captains they have this year compared to the three they had last year will translate into five more wins this year. Ok quite a brash statement.....pause for laughter from the peanut gallery... but I think you know what I mean. It's tough to work hard for someone you'd like to punch in the face.
I like their chances.

So where will the Thursday night radio game be heard with Mr Wagonner?Wblhcky2424 wrote:Agreed, Pete is great to listen to.Sats81 wrote:I will say Wagonner is awesome on radio. Not sure anyone does better job on that with HS hockey...
We lost FOX TV due to the two teams playing not willing to raise $5k in commercials, and now we have lost 105 the Ticket.

Why should EP be ranked Pre season #1? They haven't played a game yet this year. Doesn't LN get the respect to be the pre season #1 until they at least play their first game? After that let the chips fall where they may. EP essentially has the same team as last year and granted they have two of the top talents in the state, but their time will come at #1 if it is earned.Sats81 wrote:These seem a little more accurate, although I have a really difficult time getting my head around a lot of these polls having Wayzata in top 10. GB any thoughts?
