according to ushsho.com rankings

but bismarck High doesn't have all my respect yet and probably wont till they win in the quarterfinal round of state and play the semifinal tough. But the quarter final game could be against GPR, GFRR, FS, GFC who are all playing the ebst hockey of the season right now and I don't know if they could beat them.

Regular Season

EDC
1. Fargo South
2. Grand Forks Red River
3. Grand Forks Central
4. Grafton / Park River

WDA
1. Bismarck
2. Williston
3. Century
4. Minot

There is no way West Fargo is ranked 9th in the state. They haven't showed anything this year. they are 5-11 overall. Devils lake is 3-14 and should not be in the spot they are in the EDC

Shanley so far has had a less than steller season but i feel come tournament time they will play to there full potential and have a good run

Realistically - They'll win the play-in game against Wahp and lose first round of EDC to Fargo South and likely knocked out by the next team they play. They rely far too heavily on their goalie to win them games, which doesn't work.

south takes first in edc while beating north 8 1. Sorenson, mauch briggs werent in linup

any word on the central vs grafton game?

Central over Grafton 7-1...sounded like a complete blowout

wow impressive win good recovery from the waroad game

Grafton has really fallen. Because of this, once they get down, they play like the game is over. Take a look at almost all the games they've played this year against upper tier teams, and you'll realize that they will play well the first period or so, then the other team will bury a few goals and Grafton starts to get chippy and sloppy. This happened their first game against South, as well as started to happen in Grafton the second game. I'm assuming this is how Grafton got ran up on in this game, and they're gonna have to shape up a lot if they even want to get to state this year.
Credit to Central, that's how you bury a team the right way.

Shanley's goalie is decent, but i don't agree that they rely on him to win them games.

I completely agree with you hockeyman10 when shanley is playing good is mainly because there defense doesnt allow good shots and even then iv seen there goalie let easy pee wee shots get by

I really doubt he practices with peewees...I would say that's a stretch

Also i don't know how you can say that shanley has been in games because of their defense?!? They have given up the most shots in the state by over 100 shots...if anything that's bad defense

The games theyv been like when they played west fargo which they tied there defense was amazing and held west fargo when they needed to

EDC
1. Fargo South (they have really proved themselves to be powers this year)
2.Red River (good forwards lack on defense a little minus Anderson and Howe)
3. Central (good all around team just needs to put it together)
4. Fargo North (I am throwing them in as the upset team)
or Grafton (good players but missing something to gel together)
