8. St. Cloud (7)
9. White Bear Lake (10)
10. Stillwater (9)
11. Woodbury (13)
12. Maple Grove (14)
13. Andover (17)
14. Eagan (15)
15. Elk River (11)
16. Chaska (12)
17. Grand Rapids (20)
18. Brainerd (NR)
19. Rochester (19)
20. Bemidji (18)

On The Radar: Warroad, Blaine, Lakeville South, Hermantown, Osseo

Ok, So first off, did they just copy "the Real Bantam A Rankings" format with the on the Radar, plus these rankings are a total crock.... How is East # 5 they lost one game 1-0 to Centennial, and has been rolling ever since. Edina Number one is a complete joke, no matter what Doug Johnson rights about them in LPH. Moorhead at 7 that doesn't even deserve a comment. Elk River behind Eagan just shows how off they are. Elk River has had good showing in two tournaments and is near the top of District 10, and Eagan just lost to West St. Paul...... wait till monday for the Real new Rankings.

I'm with you, Chuck. The Moorhead ranking is especially ridiculous. They made a poor showing in their home tourney and their district partner Brainerd, who has beaten them, wins it all and gets 18. I'll be anxious to see the REAL rankings!

The northern teams in the bottom end of that 20 are ranked too far down.

Grand Rapids is a good fast team with a VERY good goalie. They move the puck well and they can bury the biscuit.

Agreed. Or when you can stop the opponent from burruring the buscuit.

does grand rapids have any competition to get out of there distirct for regions

ilikehockey77 · Post by **ilikehockey77** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 6:19 pm

all rankings have East too low...they are easily in the top 4 or 5 teams in state. especially when (atleast im pretty sure) there only loss since the early season one to centennial (1-0) has been green bay, which you might not even count since they are AAA and not from minnesota.

Hibbing is probably their stiffest competition and they beat them 6-1 today.

Moorhead just beat Andover 2-1 in a great game. Moorhead played without their star player Kyle Kraemer. Moorhead's goalie played amazing and only let in 1 of 30 shots.

umm by the way Andover did not put on 30 shots!!!!!! and it was not that good of a game!! i thought that Andover played a soft game for how good they have been playing and Morehead scored a goal off of a Andover defense man's glove!!! I say if a rematch would happen Andover would win by 2 maybe 3!!
