does anybody now anything about them? how will they be this coming season after losing Barnes, Larson, Sande? Any juniors or sophomore that can help fill in the missing roles?

They are going to have to learn how to play as a team and get everyone involved. Hard to say when the current school year is still in progress and hockey season does not get underway for oh...7 months. But I am always hopeful.
I think they graduate like 10-12 guys, correct? I'd assume they'll be young. I know they have kid moving in from Team Illinois next year, and have heard a few others as well.

They had to recruit kids to fill out their JV roster.
By "done for" I meant only the next 2-3 years in regards to state ambitions. By no means did I intend to imply the program is dead and should be buried.
"Done for" is a tad premature. Number 1 G back along with 4 of top 7 D and 6 F who all had significant playing time. Strong rising sophs with strong incoming freshmen class. Brutal section, but they'll compete.

Which upcoming seniors will fill in the gaps that are missing?
My guess is we will find out who fills the gaps, come November. until then speculation gets you no where. Again, this year is still going and graduation has not happened. Patience people.
They have a couple of kids from Minneapolis that are freshmen this year that have very good speed that could help them as sophs next season. One is Sande's little brother. It shouldn't take them too long to transition from Bantam AA to varsity as far as the pace. We'll see as far as the rest of the HS game goes. Also, great kids.

Although we like the spirit given the Walleye opener was last week, fishing expeditions on this bored are usually more successful right before the season begins...cast a line back in November
That'd be really disappointing. Ozzy's a great kid and could have an excellent HS season this-coming year - much better than he'd have in the NAHL in my opinion.
