bottineau lost herbal and heth, but they are adding a good group of freshman. the kids have talent and size, so i look for them to contribute. bottineau keeps getting more depth and they have a good steady goaltender. he will be a junior and already has a year experience.
minot does not have much besides a few players. lack of depth and they don't have much coming up from the bantams.

Bottineau will be lower then minot. Bottineau loses McIntee, heth, and herbel the only one that had good number coming back is handeland.
The thing with Minot is they always find players to step up and win. They kind of always start out shakey, but they always seem to get up in the standings.
West
#1-BHS- They have everyone back basically minus hillman and mike goulet. If Aide comes back they could be even more stronger.
#2-DHS- Lose brian lee, other then that they have tons of freshman-juniors playing that got lots of playing time last year and good numbers. Plus they have kovacs one if not the best goalie in the state
#3-Minot- Loss alot but they are always good when people thought they are down you could say there my sleeper for sure. They have schmitts yet and skolgen as goalie. Should be slow at first, but start clicking 4 games in like usual.
#4-Williston- Great coach always come ready to play, have decent point returners coming back and defense should be solid.
#5-Bottineau- have handeland and one of the best coaches in my mind in the state. Should give a good run for state next year.
#6-Jamestown- Lost some much, but i still see them being either a 6 or 7.
#7- Century- lost a crap load of seniors that were a big part to there success, but they have horner back and knutson
#8- Mandan- If they can find a decent coach they might jump up, but other then that they need to rely on haugen and kline. Thought there is a real good freshman coming up that i could see playing on the first line austin reopelle.
#9-Hazen- They have jake oster and lost there best player jayden okyland in my mind.
6-8 could be trickey there is a few teams that could move up or move down in the ranks through-out the year. It should be an interesting year i think in West Region play minus, i think BHS is going to take it all in the west they have some real fire power. If Aide would come back they should be a team to watch out for.

hopefully i won't get ripped too hard for my predictions. i based my predictions on how teams did this year, who they lost, and who moves up.
i think grafton might be a sleeper they are going to have some power with that sophmore line(juniors next year)northdakotaprep35 wrote:The Hockey Wizzard wrote:west east

I don't see bottineau being the 4th seed, They lost what was there team last year and I don't see them being really good without him.
