Am I not the only one that thinks that the hockey teams in ND don't have the type of depth they once had on good years? I know there was that awesome 2010 central team and the 2008 red river team but it seems like teams were deep like that with more regularity in the early 2000's and the 90's

Agreed....however my other argument was there used to be way more D1 kids but now hockey is being played everywhere.  Either way, I think teams in GF are making a comeback but the state as a whole is getting weaker.

I agree.  Maybe it could be that the best players are leaving to play in junior leagues or AAA midget hockey.  Lots of options out there other than the 20 game high school season.

Looks like he was on the Midget AA team....I've heard there is a big drop off from AAA to AA.  He is young though.

Maybe he just missed being home and playing with his buddies?

Yeah, Johnson's stock has seemed to drop a bit.  Get him into the weight room with Poolman, put some muscle on, and prove those analysts wrong.
