    I'd take EP and even the champions of the last 3 or years over this years Mtka team. No disrespect just feel much stronger teams in years past. Saw many games last year and just felt it wasn't as strong. In years past there were 15- 20 teams that could win a championship. Last year maybe 5-6. Teams just not as deep. Very few teams with more than one line. Don't feel there's as many dominate goalies as years past.

    Of course this can never be proved...But think about those teams from EP, Roseville, Stillwater, BSM, Warroad etc. Many loaded teams with 3 strong lines and tending.

      Well in the most recent year (2011-12) Minnetonka WAS the state champion and they have pretty much their whole team returning. They will be very deep and will have the luxury of filling the few open spots with the top 3 or 4 players off of last year's state champion U14 team, plus the two transfers. They look to be especially strong defensively, having three of the state's top defenders and a top-ranked goaltender (USA U18 camp attendee).

      I agree that compared to years past the overall quality and depth of MN girls high school hockey is down. As you say there just isn't the number of teams at the top tier that there used to be. Which in turn probably makes it that much easier for a very strong team like a Minnetonka to really stand out. Going into the season they most certainly will be ranked No.1 and will be the strong favorite to repeat as AA champs. They do, however, look to have a very strong schedule and should be tested early and often. So we'll just have to wait and see how things develop.

While Shattuck might not be quite as powerful this year, I'd still expect them to be able to handle a public HS team from the state.
        I'd agree with you but it appears to me that SSM may be down quite a bit from when they had the likes of the two Lams, Decker and Kessel. It will be interesting to see how many of their current players go on to have stellar college careers and also play at the national level, and how this compares to a top high school team like Minnetonka. In terms of head-to-head match-ups against Minnesota high schools I believe last year there was just one, vs. a very young BSM team. While SSM did win 3-0, the shots were very close at 27-25 and from all reports the play was very even.

            Couldn't help but notice that of the three teams that are made up of Minnesota high school girls (60 players in total) 15 of them (25%) are from either Minnetonka or Benilde-St. Margaret's (7 and 8 respectively). It is also very surprising to see that perennial power Roseville is not represented this year.

                Here is schedule of competition. Hats off to the continued evolution of the Elite League to allow the top 60 HS players in MN to get some NA competition prior to the HS season.

                Practices are Wednesdays and games are $5 for adults. Not sure the breakdown from there.

                  So not sure where you put this data but looked at the top rosters for 2012-13 with MN natives on the roster


                  St Cloud, WCHA 25 Roster 15 from MN 60% of total
                  Minnesota, WCHA 22 Roster 12 from MN 55% of total
                  Providence, Hockey East 23 Roster 10 from MN 43% of total
                  Mankato, WCHA 24 Roster 10 from MN 42% of total
                  UND, WCHA 26 Roster 10 from MN 38% of total

                        Was going to start a thread but the topic didn't seem specific to women's college hockey. At a tournament this week, one of the rules states; "Girls will shake hands after each game with GLOVES ON."

                        Has there been some incident about this? Seems odd. Thought others around the HS age group might have some input.

                          Only thing I can think of is they are worried about spreading a flu or some other illness.

                              Spot on. I was playing five or so years ago, and contracted said "bug". I can't say for sure that I contracted it in hockey, but it in s a huge coincidence, a nurse on a team we played a week or so before had recently had to take time off for a "highly contagious bacterial infection." It took me six months to get clear of it. I've been gloves on ever since.

                                Getting primed for the action in a couple weeks or so. Again, last season's final rankings...which should have some adjustment for the 2012-2013 pre-season I'd guess. I think BSM slides into #2 behind Tonka. Edina probably strong / top 5 again. I'd probably rank Srillwater, Eagan and Lakeville South higher than they finished. Never overlook Roseville...it seems, almost regardless of their losses.
