    As an update to this post, age-wise Nick Pierre is an 8th grade first year bantam. Hill-Murray recently brought him up to their varsity team (he had been playing JV), and he's responded by scoring two goals in each of his first two varsity games (vs Maple Grove and Grand Rapids).

    And just let this sink in for a moment: he's a 2004 who has gone from playing pee wee a year ago to playing high-level varsity this season, skipping right over bantams while not missing a beat. Incredibly impressive! For the FM area folks, Hill-Murray visits Moorhead at the end of the season.

    Nick Pierre played on Cottage Grove Bantam team last year. Great player though and certainly D1 caliber talent!

    GF Aviators (Bantam AA) have a big weekend in town.  Edina AA comes to town for a 3 game series - Friday 8:15 PM; Saturday 10:15 AM; Sunday 11:30 AM.  All games at GF Icon Arena.  They also play Prior Lake AA Sat 4:00 at the Icon.  Don't remember Edina ever making the trip to GF for either bantam or high school.   Edina has a Gopher commit (Nick Williams) on the team.  GF Aviators are currently ranked 3rd in all of MN Bantam AA, where they play the bulk of their schedule.  Edina is #6.  This is the best of the best for Bantam hockey and they play a very entertaining style of hockey.  The Aviators are flying high the past two weekends...they won the Edina invitational tournament two weeks ago and finished 2nd in Roseau last weekend.  They almost pulled off the hat trick of beating the top 3 ranked teams in MN AA in less then 24 hours in Roseau...but eventually fell to Osseo/Maple Grove 3-2 on a late goal in the Championship game.  That Osseo/Maple Grove team beat Shattucks Bantam team and already has 3 D-1 commits on their team (2 Mich Teck and 1 Notre Dame).  

    Maple Grove has Faber (Notre Dame) & Kukkonen (Mich Tech). Who is other Tech committ? Kukkonen older brother, 11th grader is Tech also.

    Landon Parker with a nice start to his season at EGF, 2-1-3 in 2 games. Was the Bantam Elite League MVP last year. MN Hockey hub has him as a 9th grader, is that correct? Netural Zone has him as a Jan 1st, 2002 DOB, is that correct? Those two don't really mesh, early '02 / late '01 would normally be a sophomore. 

    Looking at the college hockey landscape, a lot of 02's have been going off the board. Minnesota is now at 7, 02's or younger. Would like to see UND get Parker / Cole Shepard locked up in the '02 category.

    Parker is a Bantam eligible 9th grader which means he has a late '02 birthday
