It would appear no penalty is involved because it's a physical move. I had no idea who this kid was until I did some Google work. Decent stats from last season, hopefully he can make a strong contribution to the Hounds this season.karl(east) wrote:Because he's moving, does he not have to sit out half the season? Or am I just confused?
Anyone else with more info on him?
By the way, DC?? Couldn't get out of Duluth fast enough post-graduation, eh?

Haha, yes, I'm at Georgetown. Duluth has its nice little charms, but...not exactly a booming economy, is it? Hopefully I can catch a few games via internet sources, some around Christmas break, and I believe my Spring Break lines up with the State Tourney nicely. So I've got high expectations...east hockey wrote:It would appear no penalty is involved because it's a physical move. I had no idea who this kid was until I did some Google work.

This move should be suspect. His mother and sister still live in Brainerd. From what I understand his parents would have to divorce to make him eligible. I hope East doesn't have to forfeit games like a few years ago. Good luck with his oldman. He will watch every practice during the season. I wonder how Randolph will deal with that. He also has videotaped every game from ice-mites to the present. You will all see him with his camera at the games. Julius is a good kid. He is not a team player though. His stats from last year are good but he had alot of help from his linemates Frazer and Shepherd. They did all the work and Tamasy reaped the benefits. If you look deeper into his stats you will find he padded them against weeker teams and was a no-show against good competition.

Randolph has coached long enough to not care whether another kid moves into the district. Also, for those of you who think parents are allowed at a practice, get serious...he has never and will never allow a parent to video anything or come and sit and watch...this kid will have a hard time cracking the 3rd line if he is decent...east is loaded this year and has some good bantams coming up

7AA is at a rather key turning point. The defending champs, Cloquet, lost a lot, though we learned last year that they can't be counted out. The last "great" team to come out of the section, Grand Rapids, is still a good team but needs to develop some real firepower to be a factor at the state level. Anoka lost a lot, and Andover, while on the rise, has aways to climb. And Forest Lake and Elk River are still hovering there, not necessarily as section title threats, but as teams capable of upsetting anybody.
Therefore, 7AA is Duluth East's to lose. The talent keeps gushing out of the program, and for the first time in 3 years no one left school early. East's depth and star power now exceed their rivals, which has not been the case for one or the other for the past 3 years. 7AA is East's to take, this year and probably for several subsequent years. We'll see if they seize that opportunity, though.

I would have to agree karl... and I do see Andover as making noise in section 7AA this year.karl(east) wrote:7AA is at a rather key turning point.

With my limited background knowledge, I'd tend to agree. Randolph appears to think they're coming on too, seeing as he put Andover on the schedule this year (replacing Edina, of all teams). It's at Andover and at the end of January, so that will be a very interesting gague of how far they've progressed.
On a semi-related interesting note, this is easily East's weakest schedule in the past few years. The drop to the 2nd tier of the Schwan Cup, coupled with the elimination of Edina and Minnetonka likely dropping off, they don't face anyone who is a preseason favorite for a title run. It'll be interesting to see how that affects the record, and the team's ability to match up with other top teams should they make the State Tournament. It's still probably stronger than anyone else in 7AA of course, but not as much as it has been in the past.

I have to agree with Karl on the section analysis. East on paper has the strongest team. I think GR's defense will surprise people, and their goaltending will be best in the section, their main q is where will the goals come from? Lots of inexperience up front.
Anyone got any info on Forest Lake or Elk River for 08-09?

I agree with karl, east by far is the team to beat, god I hate what I just typed. Look'in for some upsets this year though. Cloquet!karl(east) wrote:7AA is at a rather key turning point.

Karl,
I do not think East will need to worry about 'Randover' for the section 7AA title. East is too deep this season.
