I hear so much about Hibbing - GRG - Duluth - PMH (especially GRG). Silver Bay is A, play a AA schedule against AA teams ranked in the top 20. Of there 6 losses against AA - 5 games by 1 goal,1 game by 2 goals. Two of those games in OT! Are they a presence in the North? If I remember right, Section Runner-up the last 2-years. I see they defeated GRG 3-1 earlier this year rated (13) AA.
*as-to the senior goalie playing in JV, she is a back-up varsity goalie. This her 2nd year of even playing goalie (she raised her hand to put the pads-on so SB would have a back-up :idea: )

Silver Bay is a descent team...but where should they be ranked? I honestly don't know.

Out of there section I'm sure they'll finish 2nd (losing to Hibbing) as the only loss in the section.

They have a very good team. IMO they should be ranked, but then again, it's almost like a pre-conceived notion that they won't make it out of there section, even with all those seniors. Hibbing most likely will get the nod, BUT thats why they play the games...anything can happen on any day.

Is the opportunity shrinking in Silver Bay with the loss of the seniors, or are there some girls coming up that can fill those big shoes?

Silver Bay is not at all dominated by Seniors. While they have some nice seniors, there are nice players to fill their ranks. Two strong freshmen and two strong sophomores will return on defense and six or seven returning forwards should help them be solid for a while. Goalie is a sophomore.

I agree, Silver Bay has a Dominant freshman and sophmore core on their team. Not to many rosters in the North that have that kind of power and ability. My Hats Off to their youth program!!! I see their 12U Team took Top Honors in the Schwan Cup Tourney a few weeks ago.
