I disagree. I would have to say i would take Devils Lake on this one. On Saturday this last weekend Jamestown played in a jamboree in West Fargo. They lost to North and WF. Not sure about the other one, but they only had two lines and 4 or 5 D on the team. I dont know if that was their whole team but they only had 10 or 11 guys. I also noticed that they were in the box many times, which is no surprise, but will hurt them this year. They do have a good returning player in Zac Welding, but they lost Brett Ritchie their leading scorer last year. I would predict DL- 5 Jamestown-2.

your wrong Jamestown beat West Fargo 4-3 and Jamestown was playing JV and Varsity players against all Varsity teams

I completely disagree. The top teams in the state don't need to use their sticks, because they can skate. So they won't have much trouble adjusting to the new rules. Nic Spenningsby also had a huge number of penalties last season and I think anyone will agree with my Jamestown in general takes lots of penalties. The point is, the teams that can outskate their opponents (South, Red River, Grafton,... whoever else steps up) will be less penalized than the teams in the bottom of the conference. The number of players from each of these high school teams is significantly greater than the number of them that are also playing in the fall leagues.

Top 4 teams in each conference= less effected by new rules

Bottom 4 teams in each conference= more effected by new rules

Reasoning.. Good teams have good skaters and poor teams have poor skaters.

Ok above they said the players playing elites have been playing with these rules and will be adapted to the change well if this is the case the Nic Spenningsby will be fine because he has been playing elites and i am positive Jamestown will be in the top 4 in there conference and will surprise all you people who say they wont. how can you say the top 4 teams arent as effected they could have just as many penalties as the lower 4 teams but they just have more skill. Jamestown will be one of the better teams in high school hockey this year.

Jamestowns biggest problem is the penalty box. And with the new rules in place I don't see it getting any better. If they don't realize they can't win on the penalty kill early, I don't see them making a run at the West Region.

Jamestown lossed probably there biggest penalty man, Brett Ritchie, and these new rules are going to effect every team not just Jamestown, i think it will effect the teams of grand forks more, if anyone has ever played grand forks i think they know how cheap they are with there sticks

I look for Jamestown to have a very successful season this year in the west. They return Welding as well as Cameron Leben, and I believe their goalie Enderle. The west this year in my opinion will be way down, leaving Jamestown to battle in the top 3 with Minot and BHS.

Ya i think Jamestown will be solid this year, a lot of the seniors playing this year have been playin varsity since they have been sophomores and they also have spenningsby returning who is playing elites. I would predict them to win the west

Any ideas how Jamestown will do in the West this year
