I think North Dakota could field a competitive team with just North Dakota boys most years, but not a championship caliber team. The number of people in the state simply does not allow it.
Picture this team next year. Help me out if I am missing any.
Forwards: Grant Potulny, Ryan Potulny, Dan Irmen, Quinn Fylling, Pat O'Leary, Massen
Defense: Andy Schneider, Nick Fuher, Joey Markuson, Chad Dahlen, Nate Metcalf?(not sure on that one)
Goalie: Ziegleman, Sedevie, Lamoreaux
A little weak on numbers but not short on quality.
