Al is a new team and they are doing as expected. The Express on the other hand are not new despite them using that as their excuse for their poor fan attendance this year being a record low and they have a middle of the pack team.

Wells, You don't know what you are talking about. Tell us what u know about the MN based teams in the NAHL. Albert Lea, Owatonna and Alexandria... Express are a HUGE disappointment and embarrasment to all involved in that giant ownership group. Hope they can get some strength by adding kids from US...

Good teams to watch;

Bobcats,
Topeka
Ice Dogs
Outlaws
Blues
NTDP


Unfortunately the 3 MN teams will not be strong this year. Heard the Express turned down opportunity to play Shattuck Varsity for fear of losing.

The Dogs killed the Express both games. The Express tried everything. The Dogs played their rookies.

The Express are weak this year. Too bad, but it is a vicious cycle.

Dogs are way better. Looks like the Express Coach is rusty.

Should move back. There are 8-10 former MN highschool players on Alaska from last year and anothr 10 or more on Owatanna. Great item for people too go watch the former HIigh School Guys Zierke, Phillipi, Saintey, Schriener, Jared Larson, Dylan Porter, Nate Percy Stephen Carew etc. If they survive t...

Both teams are better than Albert Lea.

Dream on.

Kind of surprising at the amount of kids that go up to Alaska to play. I could make a crude joke about them hearing that the governor's daughter is about to turn 18 or something. Instead I'll just say I've always wanted to visit Alaska. Sounds pretty and friends rave about it. Crawl back into your ...

The Thunder are NOT going to be very good, sorry but I've watched them, Owatonna, Keni and the Ice Hawks and they are a far fourth. The team was picked poorly, the coaching is laughable, and the GM is a mess with little to no hockey background. Royce didn't belong in the NAHL I agree, but he fit in...

Its really hard to blame the kid here. All I've heard from people close to AL and close to this organization are bad things. Some are really concerned. It is a pretty bad situation when a coach is forced to quit because he cant keep the kids he has drafted and tendered. Maybe these clowns assembled...

Royce left becasue he couldnt handle it. I heard the rules on the team are strict. Mandatory Drug Testing, No Hats Backwards, No facial Hair, and more. Lets face it, he didnt have the talent to play there, ask anyone from Albert Lea, we where amazed that the team tendered him. Probably just a home ...
