What Teams to Watch

Post by tonkafan77 »

What teams will be on the rise next year? Also, what teams will suffer the biggest losses as far as seniors go?

+ Benilde. If they don't lose Besse, they'll still be top 5

If Lucia leaves, I don't see what they have going for them.

True, but only about 4 seniors are leaving so not many spots will be open for any of the JV players.

Maybe. But the Seniors still have to tryout, correct? :wink:

And I'll be the first to admit...not Eden Prairie. It will be a rebuilding effort through and through but that's just fine Lee. It was all worth it for 2 out of 3 for these seniors.
EP two out of three.

Edina loses a ton but pretty sure they are ranked no. 1 in bantam A's and might be able to swing some depth.

Pretty sure the Edina PeeWee A team that included all the current players returning plus Lettieri, Commers, Labosky and Moore would be the #1 team in state returning...but private schools are always a part of the equation.

EP's bantam A team is number 1 in the state. Edina did not qualify for the State tournament. They were eliminated in Regions.

As far as teams losing players, White Bear is losing nearly 90 goals from Brandon Wahlin, Mac Jansen and Max Birkinbine.. The next highest goal scorer had 6, and two with 5.

Blaine- Will be very strong and still young.
Duluth East- The talent they bring back :shock:
Maple Grove- Might of been the best team this year, could be even better next.
Minnetonka- Loads of talent

Eden Prairie is losing 122 goals. Next highest scorer had two. It will be a rough year, but that's okay.
EP two out of three.

Eagan and East without a doubt. Underclassmen carried both teams to state, they both will be the deepest and strongest teams next year. Would love to see those teams face off next year.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Edina pee-wee A team from a few years ago that won state, not this year.
