Champlin could suprise?

Post by theedomcarsi10 »

Champlin has one of THEE premier scoring lines in the state in Herzog, Grandner, and Meyers...

Grandner.... the engine of this group if he scores this team wins... he does stuff with the puck , without the puck , offensive zone, defensive zone.. power ply... PK... etc etc... he is the X factor.. Good season for him good season for the team
Meyers.... An absolute Goal Scorer this kid can put the puck in the net.... with his handles and speed this could could contend for top goal scorer in the Section.
Herzog... The Perfect Role player for this line.... this kid scores when needed... doesn't back down from anyone.. and will take the occasional dive when needed. Every great line needs a kid like herzog and he fits perfectly with the other two.

I dub this line the Red Tag Line.... story behind that is GMC ( Grandner Meyers Chad ..Herzogs first name) always has a red tag sale event and yes thats the story.

if these three get some help from the younger lines this team could put a scare into the top teams of the section.... maple grove, Centenial, and Blaine.

The Rebels lost only 5 seniors and other then two solid defensemen in Krych and Jackson it wasnt to big of a loss. The Rebels will get a injured defensemen back in Mylrea who could be a great player especially on the power play at the point.

Brandon Jager returns as the little goalie that could and will keep Champlin competetive no matter what.

Guys who could have big years that could have a big impact for this team are Bradbury at forward, Perry also at forward, and Wood at forward.

At defense John Mankey and previously mentioned a comeback from Mylrea would be huge for this team.

The Rebels are a big time dark horse but this team has alot of heart and there biggest loss of all might be the senior fan section from 06'- 07' hopefully the new fans will step up and help this team to glory.

Prediction ... Rebs above .500 and a loss in the section championship game to Maple Grove.

MVP- Grandner
OPY- Meyers
DPY- Mylrea

Time to revive this thread.
Seeding for the top 4 is going to be fun in this section, not so much who they are, but what order they are in.

Near the 1/2 way mark it looks like this....(Not in any particular order)

Blaine has beatin Coon Rapids, and Osseo, and lost to Champlin and Cent.

Cent. has beatin Osseo, and Blaine, and lost to Maple Grove.

Maple Grove has Beatin Rogers, and Cent. and lost Champlin.

Champlin has beatin North Metro, Blaine, Coon Rapids, Maple Grove, and Irondale, and lost to Osseo

Those are most likely the top 4 then you'll likely have Coon Rapids, Osseo, and Rogers fighting for the 5th seed, where CR has an edge already beating both Rogers and Osseo.

Of course there is 1/2 a season left and a lot of the teams in this section still play each other again so much could change...No ones running away with it though :wink:

(I think I got it right here but if somethings wrong go ahead and correct me)
Edit:
Just noticed it said preview :roll: Maybe Clown can edit the title or is there another 5AA thread I missed??

At this point, it's probably Blaine leading by default. No team has put togehter a string of quality victories to date.

Centennial is struggling, but I like Hanna in the nets come crunch time.

#1) Blaine
#2) Champlin Pk
#3) Maple Grove
#4) Centennial
