Decline in talent in west(and state)

Postby the_truth_hurts » Wed Dec 02, 2009 11:14 pm

It seems to me that the overall talent in the wda seems to be down alot from previous years. Do you agree with this and why do you think this is happening?

It shot up in the early 2000 era, and has gone down since it's reached its peak. The best teams were probably between 04 and 08 but the best talent overall was earlier in the era. Since then the state has gotten a lot less deep, and talent has focused on the team with the best senior class of the year. This year it looks like Central, last year it was South/Bismarck, year before that was RR, etc etc

has the talent level really dropped or do we expect more. i think as we get older the game slows down and maybe it appears alittle slower. i still think both the east and west offer some talented hockey players. we are sending more and more north dakota kids onto junior hockey and college hockey, that says something.
