I think next year BHS has a shot there losing no one really that was to important, all of the key guys are sophmore and juniors. There only let back will be there goalie after losing 2 seniors this year.
Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 3:59 pmMinot will be down for years to come.
Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 4:04 pmwho isnt going down in the next couple of years in the west

BHS, next year i don't think anyone will really have a jv team next year
Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 6:59 pmI think BHS will have a nice run the next few years myself. The rest of the spots are up for grabs.
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2007 1:18 pmhow do you feel about bottineau, williston, jamestown and minot?
will they do descent in the next few years?

On a scale of 1-10
Bottineau-3 No real stnad out players next year maybe Handeland
Williston-7 Lots of returning starters and talent---Maybe lack of a goalie-
Jamestown-4 Again no threats coming up
Minot-6 Won't be bad at all got Schmitt again got some other tough players
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2007 2:56 pmminot will be a downfall for awhile at least might do allright this year but not so much in years to come, williston shouldnt be too bad in up coming years, bottineau - possibly doing better than other years thier youth program is getting better, - and jamestown - next year i dont expect much but years after that could be better

Dickinson in Kovacs if he stays around, bottineau's wont be bad either, plus isn't knudtson from century a junior this year?
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:37 ami guess skogen from minot is in that category too, allthough well find out he wont have the support he had this year and yeah i think knutson is a junior
Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2007 7:31 pmi heard a rumor about kovacs not playin next year or something like that.....does anyone know if this is true, that would be a terrible loss for dickenson.

well hes not going to get much better playing in dickinson, if he can he should leave and try to get on a nahl team, or a AAA team somthing in those lines. I don't think he is good enough to be in the ushl.

Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2007 3:50 pmi was only doing the west
Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2007 4:34 pmid put knutson or skogen in there
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 9:34 pmthey are all close in skill, I have seen each one of these goalies play at one time or another. I have not seen all of them play this season but at some point in their high school careers.
This is just my thoughts on the goaltenders returning next season.
NOTE: they are in no particular order and my "goalie knowledge" is limited.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knutson CHS- good size, decent mechanics ( hybrid ).... wound tight, rollercoaster mindset, fights puck
Klein MHS- relaxed, composed goalie with a big frame (butterfly)...attitude?, inconsistent
Kovacs DIC- towering profile, good hands, net consumption, can steal a game (butterfly)....average fundamentals
[color=red]Groves [/color]DL- athetic, good positioning most of the time, game stealing potential (scrambler)....questionable save selection,
Skogen MIN- strong glove side, eats rebounds( tradional tendencies).....inconsistent, and appears to be uneducated with basic fundamentals
Arnason RR- big frame, nice V drops that take up lower 1/2 net space, plays percentages, sqaure to puck (butterfly)....very one dimensional, untested,
Oster HB- good postioning, keeps team within striking distance (look up Gump Worsley),... questionable save selection, sloppy mechanics, agility?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just for fun I'll do the same for this years graduating senior class:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deichert FS-good size, solid mechanics/ fundamentals, exceptional positioning, nice crease movement, consistent, rare "softies" soft goals with good rebound control/ direction ( tradional)..... to many average performances
Ness GFC- good range of motion, solid puck prescence , decent fundamentals, good net awareness( tradional)....shakey at times,
Boldt WIL- square to shooter, simple game plan , almost stole a big one( stand up/ traditional hybrid).....lack of mobility and mechanics
Sand GPR- nice positioning, basic mechanics (tradional/butterfly hyrbrid).... plays "small", hesitant
Hillman BIS- good instincts, exceptional fundamentals/mechanics, athletic, aggressive, agile, (hybrid ).....rebounds, small frame
Haugenoe WIL- big frame, nice mitts, not cool pucks up (butterfly).... jumpy, sloppy at times
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
