Junior24 can you tell me why Eli Rosendahl and Spies will not be trying out?

Is goalie eli rosendahl of red river not going to try out? if he chooses not to that may hurt the team a little bit because im sure he would probably be the starter. Other goalies that come to mind are norths just welk , graftons tony kringstad and centrals kalvin shane. I would be dissapointed if Graftons campbell cousins didnt try out. I beleive if all the seniors this season could/ would participate that it could have been one of the best team north dakotas.

Minot won this game because THEY deserved it! no excuses needed!

the names that come to mind off bat are forwards Nick Klenow, Seth Fischer, Tyler Klein and goaltender Justin Welk. I could be missing a few

During the JV game there was a confrontation between a cocky 19 for RR and a I tihnk it was 5 for Minot. 19 ran his mouth the entire game. he was pulled out of the shaking of the hangs along with 5 and both were given 10 minute misconducts. COurse this wont affect their play, but it should be noted that an instance occured, and the officials did the right thing in this situation. As far as the taunting goes. Classic West teams running their mouth's again. Liek Schmidt running his mouth and tell the refs they are messing up because his dad and uncle are/were the "big time." Good luck to all teams however in State and regionals.

ND PRIDE probably already knows this but Ross Monson of Bis. High skated with the Bismarck Bobcats of the NAHL before the high school season and will more then likley continue skating with the Bobcats after the high school season. Also i beleive Weisgarber and Galt of Fargo South have been in contact with numerous Junior A teams(NAHL-USHL) that show alot of interest . I have no knowledge of Peterson's(GPR) Mihulka's(GFRR) or Klenow's(FN) status with hockey after high school but I am sure they will try to continue playing, and will probably succeed in doing so . On another note there are A few underclassmen that ive heard(second hand ) may be moving on to Juniors such as Fargo South goaltender Sean Deichert and Bis. High goaltender Michael Hillman. Whether these two choose to do so or can I am unsure, this information is merely second hand information from parents around the state.

i agree with the your analysis with the east region tourny although i dont think Grafton can knock off South. With the west tourny i think it will be tight with hazen just upsetting Minot, and Minot winning close games against Williston, BHS and Devils Lake i think its anyones tournament to win

what more would Red River and Fargo South have to do to prove that they are the top teams at this point in the year?

theres still a handfull of goalies who are very talented and no matter what anybody on this forum says none of us have the authority to "crown" any goalie #1 , especially since the season isnt finished , although I think its safe for YOU to say Deichert is the best goalie in the state. Also keep in mind a GAA of 1.59 and SV% of 92.5 is still pretty solid on Rosendahl's part

the game was at the Roseau Holiday Tournament I beleive Bismarck was manhandled and outshot 45-10

i agree but i beleive the top 3 goalies in the state have to be rosendahl SR. red river , hillman JR. bhs and deichert JR. south , statistics aside these 3 are are undoubtedly the best

the game was close although minot had better scoring chances throughout the game bismarck had oppurtunities but couldnt get a legitamate scoring chance, most of their shots were relativley weak give or take a few. minot had an edge on the demons in all 3 periods bhs's goaltender did a nice job of controlling the tempo but simply was left alone in the 3rd period. the crowd at the game was insane several people were arrested. from what i saw bismarck simply cant bury the puck and minot took advantage of their chances and will most likely remain the best in the west

I agree with south , red river and grafton as the top 3- minot could sneak in there. Mr. hockey has to remain a question mark until the end of the season with weisgarber, mihulka and the campbells heading the list up with other possible choices like galt or klenow. Rosendahl and kringsted would probably be the only goalies to get any consideration where Hillman is only a junior. Teams like North,Central,West Fargo, Devils Lake and Bismarck seem to be of the same caliber

mihulka is a decent hockey player (above average north dakota player) but he will not win mr hockey

I'm not exactly sure where fargo south comes into the topic about the west region teams, but i think a game consisting of the best players from the west region against Fargo South may be a great new topic you could talk about!

Minot will have the most scoring punch Williston will have the best blueliners and the Bismarck schools will have the goaltending

All ive been hearing about is what east teams are going to be like... what is the west going to be like?

one more shift then youll ever see stud

then you guess when he faces a stacked red river team what?

your evaluation of hilly is entirely incorrect, he normally plays on teams that couldnt win a game if their lives depended on it and with the ND select situation i was their for the 86/87 tryouts last year and watched the 88 group and it looked to me he was an obvious pick but Wade Storey didnt seem to think he was a "caliber" goaltender and as far as the to small thing goes youve got it all wrong his angles and qucikness are like no one elses and that makes up for his small stature . i dont think size means anytihing as long as you stop the puck he hasnt lost a step although i dont think hes the BEST goalie in the state but i think hes up there

josh bruce from williston is depended on to stand on his head every time he steps on the ice and still has outstanding numbers also tony kringstad from grafton and bismarcks mike hillman has played extremely well and has been especially hot latley when his team is not healthy and he is counted on i was at the minot vss bhs game and the kid amazed me

he is good but i disagree with you on that mclean is the number one goalie north dakota

im with you on that also, bhs has some studs who according to bob gillen have 3 all west region players ( kopp 36 pts Aide 47 pts and hillman the sophmore goalie) and 9 players with 10 or more points not counting aide they will be a suprise i dont know about a state title because minot clearly overwelmed them and had a physical edge on them everytime they played

what goalies would you talk over ben

all im seeing from these posts is predictions that a team form the east will win minot and bis high have a solid chance as well name some things that minot and bhs dont have that an east team has and i hope to see a repeat of 1992 just to shut everyone up
