Section 2A Predictions

fivehole628 · Post by **fivehole628** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 7:23 pm

Predictions of 2A?
Knowing Orono still hasnt found a coach, that H.F. still hasnt found a goaltender, and that Breck played in the last place game in the Walmart Cup (i believe, not positive though)?

Teams:
Orono
Richfield
Breck
Blake
Mound-Westonka
Delano
St. Louis Park
Providence
St. Michael
Holy Family/Waconia

Orono hired Aaron Johnson as their head coach in mid-July.

Thanks for the information! But where is Aaron Johnson from?

Young guy - just finished up his playing career at Augsburg this past spring. He'll have his hands full...

Ok... well does anyone have any predictions?

I would really say mound and richfield should be some pretty good contenders. Mound will be small but very fast and good with the puck Brian nelson should be solid between the pipes and johnson and Horgan will be lighting the lamp. I played with horgan for a couple tournaments on a triple A team and man can that kid play. As for richfield I dont know alot about. There summer games and scrimmages eemsto be going very well against some good teams. But of course that doesnt show alot with kids missing due to other commitments. But i would say these teams make a run at it and as much as everyone says Breck has had a rough summer i think they will still be a contender. Hope this will help all I would like to here what others think too..

blake breck mound and orono are my top four

Is Ian Wilson the top goaltender for Orono this year?

Eagle8 those are some great picks. I was gunna also say blake but i wasnt sure if birkholz and who all else was still around or coming back. Orono could be good too but they lost McClure, randall, and peterson and their coach so I don't see them being a big contender but u never know.

Birkholz is back.

Thanks for the info GoBears that was much needed. whats their goalie situation over at Blake? Im not to familiar with this team but if they have solid goaltending coming back I will give them the nod in this section.

Goalie is Peter Johnson. Same goalie as last year. Very solid and with alot more experience going into the year. Barnes, Sievold and Birkholz should be the first line. Brunette, Devries, and Boyd will be in there too. Doerrring, McMahon, and Dressen will be the returning strength at D.

Breck will be strong this year. Orono has a strong Junior class, HF will also be a contender. Section should be fun. Anyone know anything about Mound?

Mound has Zach Johnson, and Riley Horgan returning as the two top scorers. Brian Nelson will be backstopping the team like last year.

GBears it is sounding like Blake should have a good team this year. Louwerse is back too i almost forgot about him. Im going with Breck, Blake, and Richfield as top three contenders here

suntzu · Post by **suntzu** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 7:22 am

Louwerse was a senior last year. Blake will have a nice squad this year.

fivehole628 · Post by **fivehole628** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 5:41 pm

I'm pretty sure he's a senior this year.... at least i thought he was...

suntzu · Post by **suntzu** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 6:08 pm

Louwerse was a senior last year - he played in the Great 8.

I hear Delano had a horrible year last year, especially saying that the year before they won the #1 seed in section 6... what happened?
