To add to the above:

Featured season openers: (Early big match ups between top teams in the state of ND)
Varsity times at 7:30 PM unless otherwise noted.

Early Season Match Ups:
12/2/2008 - Moorhead @ Fargo South (Urban Plains)
12/4/2008 - Red River @ East Grand Forks (EGF Civic Center)
12/4/2008 - White Bear Lake @ Fargo South (Urban Plains)
12/9/2008 - Fargo North @ Grand Forks Central (Purpur Arena)
12/13/2008 - Fargo South @ Grand Forks Central (Purpur Arena)
12/16/2008 - Grafton/Park-River @ Fargo South (Urban Plains)
12/27/2008 - Bismark High @ Fargo South (Urban Plains)

Schedule derived from the links above. These are the more prominent games from the schedule, so that if you want to see games before the season gets really deep, it's easy to find the games. The above games are before the holiday tournaments. EDC should be pretty filled out before the holidays, but Red River doesn't face much of the top competition until the holidays. The below are the tournament games for the Herald/Stadstad Classic in Grand Forks.

Rough 3 days for GFC there. 3 days of 3 straight games of top teams from minnesota. I knew about this earlier and too bad they couldnt get the other three teams from minnesota to play either. I understand they were hill-murray, cretin duram hall, and st. thomas academy.. Yes they were private schools. But oh well.

Should be a good season of hockey and expect a grand forks team to be in the final game again.

How good is Int. Falls? I'd figure if they're pretty good it'd warrant them going all the way there.
For the teams involved listed above, here's the preseason rankings from the only site I've seen with them up so far:

----

MN Boys Hockey Website
Class AA Rankings

2008-2009 Season


1. Edina
Eden Prairie
Hill-Murray
Academy Of Holy Angels
Bloomington Jefferson (5)
Duluth East
Hopkins
Benilde-St. Margaret's
White Bear Lake (9)
Roseau (10)
Centennial
Blaine (12)
Minnetonka
Moorhead (14)
Burnsville
Cretin-Derham Hall[/b]

----

I'm actually surprised both WBL and Moorhead weren't ranked higher. WBL had a pretty good season last year, and did very well most of the season, and they lose very few players. Moorhead lost like 1-2 players that I know of from last year, and should be in the top 10. Roseau lost a lot of talent, and I can see why they dropped so far. Blaine is a top 15 team that I can see being between the 8-15 seeds, and I don't know much about Bloomington Jefferson, but I didn't think they were a top 5 team.
Either way, this is a single ranking site that I don't even know how the rankings are derived. Minnesota is so deep in talent for their top 20 teams, it's usually really hard to get those top 15 teams apart from each other, since they can all upset each other pretty easily.
5 of the top teams in MN will be for sure be playing ND teams this year. Should be some great competition for the state.
