Johnny Five Posted March 17 Posted March 17 On 3/15/2025 at 8:20 AM, yzerman19 said: the 2010 kid made an interesting choice...didn't join a top end team, isn't attached to a school...the best barometer IMO is the national tournament and the high end summer stuff...if you put up big numbers or dominate in other ways at those events you are legit, because the competition is solid. The 2010 kid had a rough go it looks like at WSI last year. Bredvik kid is tiny, so he probably is playing 15O instead of high school because of his size issue. He isn't lighting it up in Michigan Tier 1...10th on his team, which is middle of the pack in Michigan. Arrogant parents making a ridiculous decision. The path for goaltender is so tough, stay home and face the rubber until you are dominant. Kid wasn't even close to sniffing HS competition and the parents had options right in the Capital City to play for Faragher - a great human and goalie mentor. If you have a checkbook, you can find a team. 2 Quote

If I missed a few feel free to mention them and where they're playing this year. What a list. Zimmerman did make me chuckle. Harper Bentz and Kai Weigel both left Bismarck and ended up on the Moorhead Spuds roster too. Ryan Leingang was a 2004 goalie who left Bismarck for Omaha AAA hockey. Came back and had to sit out a year. Then tried to come back and play at Legacy and found he lost the love for the game and stopped playing at Christmas his SR season. He was a very good goalie as well. Everyone's got a different plan and a different path when it comes to hockey. Hockey is definitely unique...imagine families moving for sports like football, track, basketball (happens, but rare). I'm a firm believer in kids not needing to leave. But that's just me. I wish we could know what their paths were had they stayed and played with their buddies....but we don't have magic wands. Quote

I would guess Morelli will play games for Minot again. Hasn't played yet. Taven James from Warroad has played for the Tauros. Morelli went to CCM tryouts last weekend. He might be practicing with Minot but if he plays for Team ND in this, it doesn't look like he'll be playing for the Tauros. In watching the state tournament, it looks like he needs to increase in foot speed to be a NAHL regular but that's just my opinion. 1 Quote
