Duluth East is stacked this winter. Probably pre-season top 5 ranking.

I bet you're right, but he hasn't officially left yet.

Here are the 2000 born players participation in the National Selects Camp All-Star Game. Not that it has anything to do with MSHSL hockey, but it's something.

Code: Select all

Blake McLaughlin  Grand Rapids    MINNESOTA
Devlin McCabe     St.Paul Academy MINN-DULUTH

Lots of MN juniors participating in that game. Next year's Mr. Hockey race could be more exciting than this year's.

I could see big things for Donovan from DE this year. Plus playing with Worth and Megeau.

Loosing a senior tender. Who takes over? I really like that Donovan kid! A class act for sure. I'm going to have to meet/ shake this kids hand this winter.

They have Lukan Hanson(jr) who started about 6 games early last season.

Edina vs. Holy Family begins the season in November. I believe Sammy vs. Ben Almquist along with Carter Randklev are the heavy favorites.

[norcon]

Gavin Hain surely would be one of the top five. AA bantam player of the year in 2015.

[WestMetro]

Norcon: Yes, Gavin probably would have won it IMHO.

Kniven Agree Hounds will be top 5 preseason. (Goaltending?)

UST Will Donovan achieve potential , and rack up 50-60 points?


HOF Agree Walker, Almquist, Randklev might be top 3


Here are last years points for returning top senior scorers on top 20 AA teams, excuse any omissions.

(I guess we shouldnt forget Brandt or Hamstead in this thread, no one mentioned their names earlier above)


Almquist HF 49 18G
Walker ED 48 22 G
Brandt LVN 46 22 G
Randklev MH 46 26 G!!
McGregor CENT 46 25 G!!
Hamstead WBL 42 15 g
Oconnell MH 41 20 G

West- as an East fan I sure hope he does. Hopefully playing well in NY n making the USA team for the Hlinka tourney helps him
