Edit - you are one step ahead of me - THANKS!!!

i dont know about mahtomedi

in top 20 anyway

anyone know how buffalos gonna be?

i think that buffalo will be fairly good this year they should definitely make the top 20. i think that lakeville south should be i the top 20 also. ihear that they have some pretty good first years movin up. But i forgot their names

Someone help me out here

first years are matt kroska zach scherdor aj ried petey peterson eathon qunieniol and zach thielian who wason B last year.i dont think that thielan should have made it. o and matt mcnelly made it even though he is a first year prob. the best in the state.

matt mcneely
aj reid
adam peterson
zach schroeder
matt kroska
ethan quinell

mahtomedi Should not be in the top 20 Lakeville south killed them like 4-0 Lakeville South Should definatly be in the top 20

Eagan hockey who are u??

stillwater should not be that high and mahtomedi should not be that high

Maybe Mounds View. Beat Roseville and Champlin Park. Off to a 6 - 0 start. Have out shot each of there opponents 2 to 1. Just a thought. When do they rankings start to come out?

Edina shouldn't be number one more like 3 or 4 and Cent. should be top 5 also Blaine is pretty high up on the list

i was surprised on how chaska wasnt as good as they were said to have been but they are still very solid overall

I would question that Moorhead be in the top 20? Let along number 7?
As Pee Wee A two years ago they only made the Regional because they hosted it.
Brainerd was the strongest in 15.

moundsview has gotten off to an oddly impressive start

Buffalo isnt anywhere close to being in the top 20. There whole team was 2ed years last year exept one. They will be lucky to get to regions

Might want to take Orono out of your top 20. Lost 16 of thier 17 players from last season including Persian,McMahon,Skoog and Hanson. The single returner a defenseman that played around 6 shifts a game. This team will really struggle in district 3 this year.

edina is overranked...they're nothing compared to their team last year.

thats true but they will be decent

I agree, but they are still going to be good. Young isn't as good as people say, he let in some weak goals in the Centennial Jamboree. Really weak goals.

The Moorhead Bantam A team's roster was just posted, and the team is almost entirely different from 2 years ago. There are 5 players that weren't on that team, and some that made the team back then are no longer on it.

I think LAkeville South should be iun the top 20 they just beat hopkins 6 to 3

Is Hopkins weak this year, or is LS actually good?
Last year, Hopkins was really good, but it doesn't sound like it this year.

hopkins is pretty good they are big and they have some players that can skate


Lakeville south is a really strong team still

How did they come such a long way from last year? Last year, LS was brutal, no offense to the LS players out there.
