Caught a few games in Proctor this past weekend, and got reports from others (not many scores, more just thoughts on how teams looked). Notes on a few teams, with all the usual summer hockey asterisks about teams missing players: Mahtomedi - Despite graduating a lot off of last season's surprise st...

Thanks Rails! Getting Duluth East, STA (Randolph factor), Cloquet & Benilde to all leave the BIG Metro HS Tournament is some huge gets and very nice work good to see some variety on the last weekend of STP. Benilde has been going up to Duluth for a few years now. I see in addition to losing Ste...

Correction on the name above. It is the Proctor Rails Summer Fest. Most games in Proctor and we are thankful to Hermantown for hosting the overflow. The organizers have done a great job building this over the last few years. Impressive group of teams all in one place in July. If it keeps getting bi...

Way too many 9th & 10th graders for my liking. They can go play u16, etc. in the fall and not take spots from more deserving juniors or seniors.

Hearing Stewart , Reed and Smithknecht have made their respective USHL rosters following spring camps . Final fall rosters are always more difficult, and things can change . I guess will consider them all before and after players , unless any home HS team forum reps have definitive info to the cont...

Have our Waconia friends got anything to report ? If you have something to report, just post it or don't say anything. I believe this confirms on Waconia's Luke Puchner from Waconia to SSM as that is where is listed as playing for in this tweet from Breakaway Academy. Thanks westsidescout on the sc...

Like Luke Puchner going to Shattuck St. Mary's next year? Well now you know....that's where he is going

Stewart will not be returning to BSM Their second line of underclassmen put up some decent numbers this year but holy moly are they a terrible defensively. That's 3 underclassmen F gone on top of 3 senior F gone. Lots of openings for JV kids to step up, luckily their JV was really good this year. Th...

anyone know where they are landing? Bumgarner TBD (have heard multiple different landing spots) Anderson LI Gulls Thanks for the information was BSM expecting this? Was there a rift during the season? I don't think they'd be leaving if they were in love with the coaching staff. For all the individu...

Anderson is undecided as of yet. LI Gulls is a possibility.

Are you referring to Poul Anderson & Baumgartner leaving BSM?

Sounds like that is a poorly kept secret

A private will be short two additional underclassmen who are transferring out at the end of the year as well.

I would venture to guess it depends on whether his dad is still with the Blackhawks next season

Final game of pool play the Lakers suffered a 5-3 loss the Pittsburgh Penguins Elite that combined with Boston's 3-0 win over Valley Forge eliminates the D6 all-stars from championship contention. As far as my research can tell, no Minnesota team has made it out of pool play since Tier 1 began here...

5-3 loss at the hands of the Jr. Eagles Uphill battle for the boys from here on out Jr Eagles used their size to have their way with the smaller Lakers the first two periods. Lakers did get feisty in the 3rd but it was too little, too late. Shattuck u14's started slow but imposed their will late in...

This is a much more succinct answer than mine

What are the transfer rules as they stand? How have they changed over the past decade or so As I understand them (doesn't mean it's 100% accurate); -You can transfer into any school your heart desires if doing so as an incoming freshman (i.e. Kid lives in Edina but enrolls at Eden Prairie as a 9th ...

One pretty interesting rumor floating around already of a private to public transfer

Well...if he doesn't end up purifying himself in the waters of lake minnetonka he will be bathing in the hudson or east river.

Kvasnicka over Simpson is a bit of a surprise.

I'd bump Benilde down a bit. Philips will head to NTDP, there's potential for a few underclassmen to leave early...couple that with their constant underperforming and they're in the 10 to 15 range to start the season.

Its fascinating USA Hockey gave them an at large birth. They based it off of the MyRankings and yes Lakers are in the top 10 and played enough games to qualify. However, they only played 1 legit Tier 1 team in SSM and caught them off guard the first game of SSM season. After that they played the 60...

They have a decent chance to go 2-1 in pool play and advance to the knockout round. The netminders could be an issue, one is the B1 from Edina and the other is the BA from Tonka...both athletic but about 5'5" each. The competition at nationals is not the same as MN Fall HP, a lot of snipers in ...

Well at least Benilde won't have to worry about dropping a section final for the 5th straight year....
