We've got a post going for predictions about the best Bantam A teams.
Who will have the best PeeWee A teams next year?

One word: Wayzata

-- Defending PeeWee A champs
-- Both B1s played for state championship
-- Squirt A's won Fargo

That's a lot of talent funneling into one team.

Lakeville South

Let me get this straight--Wayzata has The State Champion in Pee Wee A and BOTH of its B1 teams are the Championship game of the B1 State Tourney? Unless these teams were composed of all 2nd year players I think Younghans will be chillin next season.

coon rapids should be excellent as most of their team was 1st years.

will wayzata repeat this year?

How many players are first year?

All I know is that AV is done for the season.

awesome...another year old thread!!!

Yup! a look at last year's predictions...interesting.

Hey, don’t know what the AV is all about, but Slapper5 had the answer. The Lakeville South team eliminated Wayzata Gold this year from the state in the East Regional. That leaves one of the three Wayzata B1 teams in the running for the state this year along with the peewee A team. This year’s peewee A team was the recipient of last years peewee A state champion and the two peewee B teams (that contended in the state championship game). I was just curious how many players on the four peewee A/B1 teams (particularly the A’s) were first year players this year. I actually don’t think it makes a big difference on a team fielded next year. Kids grow.

I heard from someone in AV and they just got 2 twin brothers that moved in from outstate (michigan i think he said) both played for some Tier 1 AAA team out there.

When my oldest son finished high school one of the teams made a big push and won state at the h.s. level.. had a Swede, a mpls kid, and western suburb boy all move into town.....didn't av have a move in this year?

The subject on this thread was the best peewee A team next year and somebody brought up Wayzata. I would like to find out what people think about who has the best peewee A team and why. AV recruiting is the subject of another thread.

East Grand Forks, Edina, Cloquet, Wayzata, Little Falls, Eden Prairie, Woodbury, and Grand Rapids are the best PW A teams in the state.

I can neither confirm nor deny any of those statements!! But here's what i know, there's alot of moving going on and they ain't moving to eastview or rosemount or even lakeville. Kid from Slovakia might be there (gabby's relative ?????)

Eastcoasthockey--Coon Rapids A peewee team - all but 1 or 2 kids move up to bantams next year, 2 years ago when they were #1 squirt A team the whole team moved to peewees except 1 and they were the last place team for D10 A squirts. So wouldn't expect too much from them next year at A peewee level.

if You'll notice - this thread is over a year old. East Coast Hockey made that comment pertaining to what he thought this years (07-08 ) team would do. I would say it was an accurate statement, as they had a record of 40-10-4

Max, you follow D10 fairly well. How will Centennial do next year? A parent on the team told me early this year that they had 10 or so first year players on a team that was competitive.

Mounds View will dangle I heard they could be the top of D2.

Yes, Centennial did have a good number of first year players on their PWA team this year. I would expect them to have a better than average team next season. Their PWB teams did nothing, and didn't make the D10 playoff this year. However, the SQA team took 2nd in the D10 playoffs and should have some solid players moving up, I would expect to see 3-4 players move from SQ to PWA next year.
I could see them being a top 20 team in 08-09, but I just don't know if they will make the jump to top 10 elite. They should be a top level team in D10 though.

How about that team (av) from the south metro (av). I keep forgetting thier name (av) but they have an (av) awesome team and next year (av) they should do very well.

Can someone (av) help with the name - I keep (av) forgetting..I know it starts a an "A" (av) and ends with a "Y" (av)..?
