I think I have to agree with Bud225 I think Hazen/Beulah has a strong group of Juniors and Seniors and now with the new coach, they need to just put it all together. Minot always puts together a decent team. Mandan may have some issues with football injuries and goalies. Jamestown will be solid and will be a tough team. Bismarck and Century are strong as well, Century the stronger of the two. Dickinson and Williston are on what I call the rebuilding years. I would love to see some of the underdog teams really pull ahead, but only time will tell.

Would like to agree with Hazen/Beulah but lost some respect when I heard they played even with Dickinson and Williston in the Bismarck Jamboree. They'll have to come out and show something more if they don't want to get pounded by Mandan.

Stiefel gave up 6 goals tonight and H/B still pulled out the win I don't think he will determine the seasons success but I'm not saying he won't be a big help.

he also had 45 saves. id say he still did a pretty good job

Not saying stiefel did bad(he's probably the best goaltender in the WDA) my point is no one player in hockey dictates success. Look at last season, stiefel had a great season but the team still did not have success. Hazen/Beulah will not go anywhere if there team as a whole does not play well.

Not saying stats are the best thing to go by here, but of all goalies in the west, those who have played 4 or more games he is the 7th best, of all goalies in the west from 1 to however many games played he is the 9th best. This is kind of skewed with some teams playing more than 1 goalie, examples BHS, CHS, Minot. Goalies with 5+ games he is 4th. Best in the west may be a rather large stretch. With that being said Butz and Hanson both of CHS are playing rather well in net, as is Pardon and Luedke of Minot, and Brooks of Bott is finding ways to win. For offense Millican and Aide of Bott is doing well, as is Dehne CHS, Olson HB.

Niether Pardon or Butz are at the level of Stiefel and Brooks. I haven't seen any of the others but in my opinion from watching them play, not looking at their stats, Stiefel and Brooks appear to be the most skilled.
