The last two are for my friends in Alex.
Feste isn't even the best forward on her team. #29 and Green are better.mnhcky23 wrote:For 2008...

Agree with all of these. Haven't seen Havel though. The other five are outstanding.mnhcky23 wrote:Hey falcons, being such a fan of Alex I am surprised you left Williams off the list. Just goes to show the solid senior class Alex has this year though...
For 2009:
Sally Komarek
Becky Kortum
Callie Dahl
Erika Wheelhouse
Kelsey Romatoski
Jessica Havel
Agreed, I have her in my previous top ten. It is hard to see how really good she is, surrounded by all that talent.mnhcky23 wrote:Hey falcons, being such a fan of Alex I am surprised you left Williams off the list. Just goes to show the solid senior class Alex has this year though

Abby Williams was named the Central Lakes Conference Performer of the last week in Girls Hockey for surpassing 300 career points. Congratulations Abby!!mnhcky23 wrote:Hey falcons, being such a fan of Alex I am surprised you left Williams off the list. Just goes to show the solid senior class Alex has this year though...
Zrust has always been a star player but she made some eye-popping plays in this tournament and really carried her team. In the title game vs. GRG she was electrifying, splitting the D more than a few times. She definitely left the weekend on the radar of more colleges.MNHockeyFan wrote:LAUREN ZRUST

School: Blaine
Sport: Girls hockey
Year: Junior
Was a key factor in Blaine reaching the final of the Edina Holiday tournament. The productive forward had six goals and three assists in the tournament, getting a hat trick against Edina in the quarterfinals. Scored Blaine's only goal in a 4-1 loss to Grand Rapids/Greenway in the title game. Was in on 11 of the 13 goals Blaine scored last week. Has 29 points (19 goals, 10 assists) this season.

I agree that she is underrated, but I have her in my top 3 forwards for her class. I guess I'm not sure what you are getting at.mnhcky23 wrote:Boblee:
Guyer may not have a goal, but her assists total 10. She can obviously dish the puck. As for Illikainen, age does not seem to be a factor as she is a very complete player and is tied for fourth on the team in points behind Erickson, Gallop, and Arola.
Lundquist's line mates do not matter for the most part because Vichorek is on the ice nearly the whole game and is the one who feeds her the rink wide pass that sends her in all alone at least once a game.
This is not a bash on a fiesty, hard-working Blaine team, but Zrust does A LOT for her team.
All three are top players in the state and key on their team, but this is why Zrust is underrated...

EP could not even score on a 5 on 3 for 1:40 against Kennedy and yet they are the top team in the state. Give the Kennedy goalie credit for that in a 30 save second period. Roseville and Stilwater are better and will be more succesful as they play as a team. EP will get beat again. They were very frustrated in the game against Kennedy.mnhcky23 wrote: It is like I hear how the top 3 forwards at EP, are the greatest in the state. If that is true, I would expect to see greater than great things. I do not see that. It is the old synergy equation. 1+1+1= 3 on good players. 1+1+1= 6 with great players.
Yes, we are forgetting Danielle Welch from Hastings. She's as good as it gets for senior forwards. Hastings is sort of a forgotten team (although they tied Stillwater yesterday) but hopefully nobody forgets about Welch. Opposing coaches certainly don't--I've heard she's been drawing not one but two 'shadows' against some teams.bardown10 wrote:Arent we forgetting Danielle Welch From Hastings?

Defense dad, for one E.P. is not the top ranked team in the state! For two you sound like you still have not gotten over the 3 Kennedy kids that tranfered to E.P. GIVE IT UP AND MOVE ON!!! And three you should be on this forum talking about how well your goalie played!! She was FANTASTIC! No wonder these 3 kids left Kennedy they must know you?
