The real amazing thing is that as high end as it is 15s is a quasi tier2 division... as the higher end 15s will be on their programs 16U team.
But not always so you still end up with some super high-end kid who you'll hear and see in college and beyond in the future.
It does kinda stink that SSM takes the MN slots every year, with at-large availability it would kinda make sense for them to be just granted a provision at large slot every year and allow for the other MN teams to compete more often.
But then others would want the same and some other acade6would just fill SSM void in MN.
These nationals truly are amazing experiences for the participants, spectators, and recruiting.
Partly true…some advisors push for their players to play at their birth years. Sometimes physical maturity comes into play. 15O level has a ton of good players. Zajic from SSM is one of the highest end 08s in the country. LI Gulls have high end 08s as well.

Who coached that team ...
Pohlkamp is really good. I was at the Summer Showcase in Plymouth and Livinavage struggled and Pohlkamp didn’t. While I really like Livinavage, Pohlkamp is probably the better all around player.

it will be the biggest regret of his career, if he does
It would absolutely suck if he leaves and I think one more year would help him. But it will 100% not be the biggest regret of his career. He was a really good player for us. Can’t stand some posters who put this stuff out. He may regret it a bit (I’m sure he will) but he’s been an awesome college player. I could see a scenario where he feels he’s ready for the next level…either AHL/NHL.

I'm not a fan of this age group playing by the USA hockey rules on the icing while short handed and automatic offsides, but the kids are so skilled they've just adapted.
*Maybe not on the PK, they still ice the puck.
Fun stuff…wish I was closer to Fargo

I'd recommend anyone in the FM area with time to kill stop and watch these kids play. The games are only going to get better as the knockout session starts on Friday. Pool play ends today with most of the final 8 spots already secured.
Ridiculously high end tourney. I didn’t grow up in MN, but live here now. I really wish MN was able to participate in this. And yes, I know it is technically possible for MN teams to make this tourney…but in all reality, it isn’t.

YHH reporting WI is making a commit announcement.

I’ve heard/read Stramel would like to stay in the Big10…curious if we would entertain that option

It’s really grungy…but as long as you’re in the right spots it’s awesome.

There's no way he doesn't have a better personality than Carle if we're battling against DU for Pohlkamp.
Carle is a recruiting master. Give Simpson time though, he’ll come into his own.

Projection based on current info:
Forward (15):
GR - Jamernik
SR - Berg, Kunz, Schmaltz, Montgomery
JR - Blake, McLaughlin, James, Strinden
SO - Perron
FR - Swanson, Boisvert, Croal, Littler
X - PortalDefense (8):
JR - Zmolek
SO - Livanavage, Wiebe, Benoit, Komzak
FR - Jubenvill, Strathmann, EmeryGoalie (3):
SR - Semptimphelter
JR - Johnson
SO - Hedquist
If Pohlkamp decides to come here…he’s taking Jubenvill’s spot? I wasn’t overly sure he’d make it on campus.

There better be a rotation at start. Give Hobie his fair shake.
100% Didn’t this guy lose his job at ASU? Hobie starts this guy works for PT

I have no inside knowledge.
However, I stayed at Holiday .... No, in all honestly, I read a Pioneer Press article a few weeks ago where Pohlkamp said his two options were Bemidji or Bowling Green, where both his brothers played. He said there was "no way" he was going to Bowling Green, and then the article when on to talk about how he wanted the opportunity to play in front of family.
Now maybe Pohlkamp is smarter than his age and deflected the real reason for avoiding the sh!tshow at Bowling Green right now. But if he wants to play in front of his family, sounds like North Dakota is a better option than Denver.
But I fear its Denver, too. When David Carle picked Pohlkamp over Livanavage for World Juniors, I wonder if it came with a side agreement ....
It didn’t. Pohlkamp is probably better.

Chatter seems to indicate going to Denver rather than UND.
That’s what I’m seeing too. Jeezus

Tyson Jost left after one season and struggled mightily when he was sent to the Avalanche after signing. Blake will likely get buried in the AHL and may never get more than a cup of coffee in the big leagues.
I disagree. I think he could play…staying another here would help I believe.

And almost all of those guys ended up in junior hockey AFTER Shattuck. That’s my point. They rarely go straight to the NCAA anymore
Well celebrini was super good and young…Lacombe didn’t play a full season of juniors. So there is the exception, but you’d have to be really good to not play a year of juniors. Which is basically what you’re implying…I agree.

How long ago did those guys you mentioned play college hockey? These are different times.
I think what he’s saying is that the skill of their tier 1 league is really good. It’s definitely not as heavy as juniors…but typically every team has a few really skilled guys. So not as tough as junior but def better than mn hs hockey.

SSM kids also typically do well at the college level, including a lot of UND players: Zach Parise, Drew Stafford, Jonathan Toews, Brady Murray, Ryan Duncan, Chris Porter, Matt Smaby, Taylor Chorney. That is why it surprised me when UND wanted Scott Morrow to play a year of juniors after excelling at SSM. He was the 2nd leading scorer on UMass as a Freshman, and has been the leading scorer for UMass as a sophomore and junior and he's a defenseman.
Yep morrow is really good.

Zellers' numbers are insane.
They are…but one thing to keep in mind is that SSM is way better than their comp, so they typically put up video game numbers. It is positive he’s leading the team however.

What is your source on this?
Oh just everything seems to lean that way. Insta following, dad worked there, all the major journalists saying MN is heavy favorite. I have no inside info, just saying it’s looking that way.

Well it’s sounding like it’s only a matter of time before wood commits to the gophs.
I think Bubs needs to go all in on that Wilkie guy. Big center that can win draws. Pt production is really good.

Interesting. Thought I read both an Athletic and Hockey News article this month that said Carolina might try trading Blake for lack of room in their system.
Well he wasn’t included in the Guenztel trade…so the Canes clearly value him (or Pitt doesn’t I suppose
).
