Doeden and mcdougall both see the ice very well and can finish with the best of em so i dont really expect powers numbers to change too much.

Did Miller pick up a fall sport or will he have to sit out the first couple weeks of the season?

I agree that the defensive play of Souths forwards will be a huge determining factor in how successful they are this year. As for metz i am 90% sure he'll be playing for South this year, after only playing a few games of varsity during his sophomore year and then playin midget minor in omaha it will be interesting to see how he adapts to the high school game. Anderson did play varsity for Shanley and West Fargo as a freshman and sophomore but saw very limited varsity ice time for South and when he did play he made too many costly turnovers. As for Red River i would expect Pat Arnaeson to start in the net. I've seen him play a few times on select teams and looked solid. I dont see Meland putting up the same sorts of numbers he did last year to due to lack of support. Red River will need some forwards to step up if they expect to compete with the offensive depth of Grafton and South.

I'd expect South to have the best first and second lines in the state this year. The Power Mcdougal Doeden line could put up some serious numbers this year but will have to work on their defensive play. Anderson Hills and Miller should also put up pretty good numbers for grafton. I expect the weaknesses for South and Grafton to be their defensemen. While South only returns one defensemen with significant varsity playing time, Grafton returns four who haven't had a whole lot of success at the varsity level. As for red river after Meland Ladeuceur and Galbreath there is a severe dropoff in talent and i dont seem them having very much depth.

Ladeuceur= Overrated, Galbreath= Legit, Wurden= Underrated

If you're going by competitiveness then the best rivalry would have to be Red River and South over the past couple of years. But the only rivalry that draws standing room only crowds is the South v. Moorhead games.

Specifics, how did you do in the showcase?

I noticed there was a girl that played bantam A's this year. Thats pretty impressive, but i thought you had to play high school hockey to be eligible?

BC screwed me..

I disagree, although scoring is a major asset, i think vision and having the ability to see the ice and see plays before they occur are what will get you to the next level.

I enjoyed it..

I dont know if he'd leave with the group of kids he's got coming back. It could be one of the best teams DL has had.

South 4 GPR 2

pff...

Has he Schneiderized anyone lately?

Tough break for Forney and TRF. If Forney doesn't get hurt, TRF wins. Simple as that...

Minnesota over Wisconsin in the ship.. 4-2

yeah we better win..

10-4

If we dont win there is a chance we wouldnt get in but i think we'll get in win or lose.

Any chance that Mr. Hockey '06 will play for the Sioux?

The games on channel 44 tonight in Fargo.

Is there any doubt that Deichert was the best goalie in the state this year?

No you won't...

Toews = Stud
