Orono and Breck have to be the favorites. Orono has a very strong Junior Class led by Persian, Skoog and the Hansen brothers. Breck has an elite group of 10 Sohpmores and Rehkamp and Winegarden. Both should have solid goaltending. Blake just isn't deep enough this year.

Good luck this year Alan. Blake will be deeper this year.
Providence may be ok this year as well. They have a number of seniors this year and a decent goalie. They will probably struggle in the coming years as they appear to be having a hard time getting new players in and keeping some of the younger players.
As for Blake, to me it looks like they have one star in Birkholz (no question, he is very good) and 3-4 pretty good players after that the soup looks a little thin. They don't have nearly as much talent as they had 2-3 years ago.

Joe is a very good player. Maybe not as good as Birk, but no question they are going to be a better team with all of the 10th graders and better goalie. It's going to be a fun year!

orono doesnt have a chance they dont have enough fire power to take breck or blake. blake has a good goalie and some very talented forwards. breck has a lot of young talent which will allow them to have a very good first and second lines and a decent third line with a good goalie also.

Guess the Gophers like "Birk" better too. Read it at the following link:
