The US blue team will be taking on Sweden in less than an hour at the REA (4PM). Stafford will play on the blue team, as will Kessel, who is getting his look at the REA this week.
you want to know a real prospect the siou should look at. NATE HAGEMO. NTDP Very good defence men

Anybody going to the games tonight? I'm planning on going on Fri, I want to see the USA players go against each other. I'm most interested in seeing Bourque play, the numbers he put up at the Midget tourny were incredible - 22 points in 6 games (Duncan had 5 in 6 games).
Hockey in August - I love it.
Is that the duncan from shattuck? If so hes a very good player.
-
I don't think it is this coming year, but the year after that.
doesn't matter where the played the haven't made it to state since the bi-centenial.

this post is to those of you out there who belive Burgraff skating skills is all that its cracked up to be. well its not. its a joke. sure you can say brehmer improved greatly by his time at burgraff, but i can gaurentee you this, had luke went to a skating specific camp in MN or bismarck ( they usually only hit the capital in ND) he would have been twice the skater that he is now. Burgraff does not focus on one specific area of improvement, i know, i've been there. so when all is said and done, sure the pros may train there, thats because its a system set up for someone of that nature. for a young player coming into the burgraff camp, they are setting themselves up for trouble. a kid with skating troubles wont get the advice he needs to becoming a better skater. they dont know enough, and if they do there too lazy to teach it
you gonna recite us a poem there? EASY

What the Mr. Hockey winners list shows is that Sam Aide doesn't have a chance because he's from the western part of the state. I'm not going to even get my hopes up.
Tell me a player from the west that should have won this award?

Jackson -- the North Dakota High School Activities Association should have a list of past ND Mr. Hockey, but I couldn't find the list on their web page. If anyone has this year's State program, they are probably listed in there. Just of the top of my head the last few years:
2004 Jordan McIntyre Grand Forks Central
2003 Kasey Moreland Grand Forks Central
2002
2001 Nate Ziegelmann Grand Forks Red River
2000
1999 Cory McLean Fargo North
1998 Joe Markusen Grafton-Park River
Drew sando -2002
brandon askew- 2000
I bealive just a guess though

The-Zeitz, how can you say that defence will be problem when they have 5-6 returning varsity d-man. they only lost kroetch

Is this guy serious?
-
He played in 130 games and had 16 goals, 29 assists for 45 points. He also had 47 penalties for 94 pm's. It would seem to me that he did play a fairly regular shift. He did have two penalties during the '80 championship game so obviously he was getting ice time during big games.
His numbers are very similar to Peter Armbrust's who played 154 games and had 21 goals and 29 assists for 50 points, with 47 penalties for 121 penalty minutes.
Anybody who has watched Sioux hockey of late knows that Armbrust, although being a career fourth liner, played regularly and even captained the team.
Besides they are two members of a very exclusive group that won two national championships while at UND.
The stats do further strengthen the point that you don't know what you are talking about.
Schmidt just stop already.

How many high school hockey threads are needed on this sight?
This is a Sioux hockey board and very little of what has been discussed in the high school hockey threads has anything to do with Sioux hockey! It is interesting reading about potential Sioux recruits, but the most of the rest of the posts in these threads have been nonsense - and sadly the threads are impossible to ignore with their recent prevalance.
I asked who you think are the top 6 players from each class and you thought i was asking about your input on what topics i should start. you must have mis-understood. "THREADS" ok 1960 called and they want their word back. Please never post agian.
-
I would like to hear who you all think are the top 6 players from each class.
Seniors
forwards- Sam Aide, Tyler Dalbey, Derek Kuntz
defence- Chris Bjoralt, Jake Marto
Goalie- Ben Mclean
Juniors
forwards- Tom Campbell, Paul Weisgarber, Paul Campbell
defence- Andy Peterson, Greg Slominski
goalie- Elliot Okland
-
The Pre-season favorite for this award in my mind is Sam Aide of (BHS). Other hopefuls are Jake Marto(GFC), Derek Kuntz (GFRR), Ben Mclean( Fargo South). Let's hear who you guys think it could be.

i'm not sure that i have ever seen a west fargo team (youth hockey or hs) that has led me to believe that it was directed by one of the best coaches in the state (let alone a good coach). i agree with the comment about the fargo clubs (raiders, flyers) being nothing more than a bickering bunch. however, they have had much success. until there is reform in the organizations, i don't think they will consistently compete with gf. gf has a good program in that it is run by the park district, not an evil empire of greedy, child pushing parents who want to live their dreams through johnny and have them on the ice all night because they can do it because they're on the board and they are paying their coaches. obviously there is still enough interest in the fargo clubs because they are still alive and competitive, but look at the success of the gf youth teams over the years (national bantam titles, countless state titles...). these are the hs teams i think will go to state this year.

i think it will be hard for one of the gf teams to not win state. 3-peat for gfc would be sweet.
I liked your predictions but i'd like to voice a few more opinions.
GFRR will be very strong there only ?'s are goaltending and good skating defencemen. With Kuntz and Schaefer leading the offensive attack they could be very dangerous. Bottom line- The Riders are going to put up alot of points if they are going to beat the potentially high scoring teams like G/P/R and South.
GFC could struggle defencivly also with jake marto the only steddy defencemen and hes not exactly known for his defence. Marto will probably end up leading the charge for them on offense followed by a very shifty player in jake stadstad. Goaltending could also be a problem early after losing both of there varsity goalies to graduation. GFC although they have the tradition and are always a threat. the loss of there graduates and some notable departures. Bottom Line -Marto will need to carry them if they plan on making a title shot.
G/P/R has the best first line in the state, Tom Campbell, Paul Campbell and more then likly john ostenrude. They could also be strong in net if they play kringstad.
but the problems for G/P/R are this, they have suspect defencemen, they also won't have the depth that they've had in recent years. Bottom Line they are always a threat to make a run.
North For the first time in a while North could have many seniors on their squad. They have graduated a combined total of 7 seniors or less in the last 2 seasons. How much these seniors will do is a big ?. They will probably score alot of goals, but with halstonson gone, they are putting a very large load on Okland and Bjoralt.
Bottom line North will go as far as okland can carry them, which seems to be a long way.
South South lost alot of seniors, but they have a good nucleus back. South has very solid goltending in Mclean and Diechert, also they have a good group of forwards Weisgarber and Dalbey both had 30+ points last year. South's in the same boat as many other teams with a question mark at defence. Luecke is the only true returning defencemen, but hes already got 3 years of varsity experiance. Bottom line south could be dangerous down the stretch if they can fill in the defensive holes.
Shanley Shanley lost alot from last year. They could be very shaky early in the season. I think it all starts with their goaltending. The probable starter Joe Bottrell had a shaky 10.00 GAA last year and with little on defence it looks like some games could get out of hand. Bottom line the burgraffs have their work cut out for them.
West Fargo WF lost it's top five point getters from last year and with very weak defencmen, they will most likely get shelled in many games. Bottom line they would need a miracle to make the state tournement.
Jamestown and Whapeton Bottom line it's going to be a long season.
Well there are my opinions. please offer rebutle.

I'm gone for a week and the board has been infested by trolls. Sorry bud, but claiming you're one of the best coaches in the state, your winning big comment and saying skates has no class = 0 credibility for you.
I coached youth hockey for 5 years in Fargo and found the vast majority of kids to be "good" kids. As they got older, the Raider kids and parents became unbearable. The coaching system at North is terrible, there is no discipline, the players run the show. It has been that way since the days of Arf. The Raiders organization is run by overzealous parents that fight for board positions so Johnny can be on the A team. Unfortunately the Flyers and Patriots have gone through similar problems. Why do you think there are so many new teams in the area? IMO the only way youth hockey will get better in Fargo is if the different organizations work together and set up a program similar to Moorhead. Or even what GF used to be like (look what the Red Army team did to GF hockey).
I'm going to have to agree with Loos on this one. You people are ruining this site. I can't believe that you would try to bash the burgraff's they are nice people and top notch skating instructors. I would like to give my predictions for the up coming hockey season.
