I came across a couple of the old thick programs that you used to be able to purchase at the Selects tournaments in St. Cloud, and just for the heck of it I compared the '91 West roster from 2005 with this year's Phase II NDP camp for the 16's (also '91's). I was surprised to see so many common names between the two - I counted 11 players (out of 17) from that '91 Selects team that are playing this weekend at Phase II. They are split about evenly between the Central and Southwest teams, so obviously the boundaries they used were quite a bit different. A lot of people like to criticize the selection for these teams as being too political, but at least in this case the coach who put the team together turned out to be a pretty good judge of the players' abilities.
