Breck loses all five of its D1 commits to transfer or graduation. It loses 84% of its goalscoring production (48 of 57 scored) and 78% of its points (109 of 140 points) from 2020-21. They have 1 returning rising senior skater, and 8 total skaters returning.

Read that again. Breck returns 9 goals and 31 points from 2020-21.

What does it say about the state of single A hockey that this team could sniff anywhere near the top 10 of anyone's hypothetical rankings? My scalding hot take - this team will be lucky to win 8 games this year.

Breck maybe was able to get some new players with the new coach.

But JG2112, isn't that Breck rising senior skater an "Elite League" player?

Yes. You're right. I'm sorry.

I'll change my prediction. They will win 8 games this winter.

Moosepaw I see you have River Lakes in your top 10. And of course the age old arguement that P/H and Breck should be AA came up. In figuring out what schools make up the River Lakes team I was kind of confused how they got put into single A. When I add up the enrollment numbers of the 7 schools that make up River Lakes they have a combined enrollment of 4,786. Not to pick on River Lakes but that is 4 times the enrollment of P/H and 10 times the enrollment at Breck. I have no compassion for either of those teams but does anyone know the reason?

My top 5:
1. Chisago Lakes
2/3/4/5/6. Orono or Warroad or M/W or SSP or P/H - depends on the day.
