Grafton does have a new coach already. I can't think of his name, but he used to coach the peewees in Grafton.

Minot isn't getting near enough credit there. I think they could even be considered #1. If Bismarck High had stronger goaltending I would put them in the top 5, but they will be weak in that area. I think Century will surprise some people as long as they have good goaltending. Grafton should be one of the top 3 teams in the east this coming season too.

Are south's current sophomores really good? Because I would think their best chance will be in '06 when the current juniors will be seniors.

If they don't make the team, then what do they do for hockey next season? Could they still play somewhere else?

About those two, what will each be doing for hockey next season?

I have to agree that there is more interest in b-ball and football than hockey in the west unlike the east. Interest in hockey is growing in the west IMO though. Also why are so many people ranking Red River so high? They lost their goalie and I just don't see how they are going to be so good.

Top 3 From West 1. Minot 2. Bismarck Century 3. Bismarck High Top 3 From East 1. Fargo North 2. Fargo South 3. GF Central
