Not much movement this week. Top-ranked Moorhead had the weekend off and No. 2 OMG won two Lake Conference games over Minnetonka and Wayzata. Centennial went 3-1 last week and maintains their iffy T10 status at #10.

#6 Prior Lake gets a crucial win over #5 Edina in district play, those two flip-flop in this week’s rankings.

Andover grabs the vacant slot at #10 this week. The Huskies went 2-1 on the week and are number 8 in the NOW Rankings.

Bantam AA was insane this week. New teams in…upsets galore as teams hit their mid-winter wall.

Tonka wins the Moose Goheen against some stiff competition. The Skippers are finding their groove.

Osseo/Maple Grove makes a big move up this week from No. 4 to No. 2 after defeating previously ranked No. 7 Rock Ridge in a 3-1 battle this week. Woodbury rose from unranked to ranked No. 3, as the Predators defeated last week’s No. 5 Northern Lakes, and won the Fargo Buffalo Wild Wings Woodchipper classic this past weekend. Minnetonka gets back into the rankings, as the Skippers are on a current 6-game win streak.

Hastings has been a big surprise team as of late, this week Hastings beat No. 6 Woodbury Black as well as No. 7 White Bear Lake Black. Hastings is up to no. 6 this week after defeating two top-ten teams. Red Lake Falls defeated some solid teams from the North this week by the likes of Warroad and EGF. The Eagles are in the top ten at No. 10 after a very solid year to date.

Not much movement inside the top eight this week. But after that, there are plenty of fireworks. Seems like no team wants the number ten spot. Teams like Andover, Eagan, Edina and Spring Lake Park all have some nice wins, but none had a week that screamed “Top 10”. Edina was the closest with a nice run in Roseau, but their previous week didn’t knock our socks off.

Things could get interesting this weekend. Several top teams are headed to East Grand Forks to play round robin hockey (East Grand Forks, Hermantown, Minnetonka, Moorhead and Woodbury). Top-two teams face each other for the chip on Sunday.

No. 6 Marshall is up one spot this week in the rankings, as the Tigers at 15-0-1 over their last 16 games. Marshall also defeated previously ranked No. 6 River Lakes by a score of 4-2 this week.

Eight teams won their section trophies on Friday and Saturday and four made the final four Sunday AM.

Mom always said, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all.”

Oof. What a week for some Bantam AA teams.

After the top three teams in this week’s poll, there are more L’s than a Washington Generals game schedule. Hats off to Rosemount on four wins and nearly 600 miles on their car to get wins over Grand Rapids, Hibbing, Hermantown and Rochester Red.

The new year didn’t change our Bantam A rankings much, as ranked teams either lost to AA teams; OR lost to teams ranked above them. Big shoutout to No. 3 Warroad for winning the Roseau tourney

The two changes that were made, are New Ulm-Sleepy Eye moving up one spot to No. 9 this week after extending their win streak to twelve games.

The other change is Woodbury being added to the rankings at No. 10, after defeating the previous No. 9- Mankato.

Besides those two big games, there wasn’t much action at the BB level in the first week of 2024. It will really pick up here as we get into the season’s home stretch and get closer to playoffs every day.

Pretty big shakeup all over the board in PWB this week. OMG Black is the new No. 1 team at the level, the Leafbirds have the most wins in the state with 31. What put OMG Black at the top was a win over No. 2 East Metro 3-2 in a shootout this week. Eden Prairie was a huge mover this week from unranked to No. 3. The Eagles defeated previous No. 4 Minnetonka Blue and No. 5 East Grand Forks Green: en route to a championship win in the Bemidji tournament.

The Huskies may have what it takes to win the coveted skates for the first time. Defending Squirtacular champ – Chaska/Chan – won’t fool anyone this year. The Stormhaws eeked past OMG Crimson Sunday in Blaine. Host Thief River Falls won their home tourney on Sunday and are a threat for top-10 honors very soon.

The No. 2 East Metro Stars headed south this weekend and brought home some hardware, winning the Albert Lea tournament. Bemidji Blue is the biggest riser at the PWB level. The Lumberjacks rose from No. 6 to No. 3 as they defeated previous No. 4 East Grand Forks Green by a score of 5-1. Hermantown was unranked last week, now this week they have the No. 7 spot, after a huge tournament win in Two Harbors.

Moorhead Black is up to the No. 2 slot in SQB; so far the Spuds are dominating the level and are outscoring opponents 157-11. Minnetonka Black is new in the rankings this week and debut at No. 9, as the Skippers won the Eden Prairie tournament this weekend. The SQB top ten had a great week as a collective, as no team dropped a game.

Shakopee hasn’t lost to an ‘A’ team all season and with the previous No. 1 Warroad losing to No. 4 Rock Ridge; the Sabers are the new top dog.

Hopkins extended their win streak to ten games this past week as well as taking home the YHH lumberjack cup; the Royals are up to No. 2 currently.

Previous No. 10 Minnetonka dropped two games this week and got knocked out of the top ten. Monticello is their replacement at No. 10. The Moose are outscoring opponents 138-40 on the year and have won 11 of their last 13 games.

Despite a loss this week, Mahtomedi has built a good enough resume to stay put at No. 1, for now. Mahtomedi beat No. 2 Hastings twice this past week to offset that loss.

Hermantown Blue hasn’t lost since Halloween weekend- the Hawks keep climbing up the rankings and are now in the top 3.

This time last week Lakeville North wasn’t ranked. Now the Panthers are sitting pretty at No. 6, thanks to a win over previous No. 2- OMG Black.

Forest Lake is a team to watch down the line to spring into the rankings- they knocked down No. 1 Mahtomedi this week.

The theme for the week is tie. Many were forced into overtime and shootouts over the weekend including White Bear’s three straight wins in the Lumberjack Cup to repeat as champions.

East Grand Forks tied Warroad a touchdown a piece last week and Brainerd and STMA fought to a shootout.

Edina enters the top-10 and Centennial was impressive last weekend at the Lumberjack Cup with wins over Rochester and EP (and yes a tie/shootout loss to WBL).

No. 8 Marshall had one of the best wins this week as the Tigers defeated previous No. 6 Mankato.

Bloomington Jefferson is new this week to our PWA top 10. The Jaguars are 12-3-1 and just beat the Minneapolis AA team this week.

The story line in PWB is that there are two Minnetonka teams in the top three right now. No. 2 Minnetonka Blue is fresh off a YHH Lumberjack tournament 4-1 championship win over previous No. 3 Edina White. No. 3 Minnetonka Black is 14-1 with their only loss coming from No. 2 Minnetonka Blue. Interesting rivalry to watch in the city of Minnetonka this year.

East Metro has now earned the No. 5 spot, after rattling off 14 straight wins. Can the Stars continue their streak?

Moorhead Black is the new entry in the rankings this week at No. 10, as the Spuds defeated Previous No. 10 Prior Lake Gold in a shootout at the Lumberjack tournament.

OMG Black stays #1 with a nice tourney win in Duluth last weekend outscoring the competition 42-10 in five games.

Moorhead just keeps rolling, the Spuds won their second “major” Sunday, sweeping the Spirit of Duluth over #2. Wayzata has established itself as a solid #3 in the state. Their only losses are to top-5 teams.

Defending state champ Edina enters the top-10 discussion with a final four finish at the SOD.

Warroad is for real. The Warriors took the top AA teams to the brink in the Blue Ox and now they won the AA/A Roseau tourney down county road 11 on Sunday. Northern Lakes won the Breezy Point tourney on their home ice Sunday…the Lightning continue to thrive at the Bantam level each year.

A whirlwind of a weekend in Bantam B. Lots of Hardware handed out all over Minnesota. Becker-Big Lake is in the top-10 with a tourney win in Warroad. So was Mahtomedi, the Zephyrs win a stacked Bemidji tournament over Hastings. Minnetonka beat White Bear Lake Black in the Mankato finals.

So many top teams in Bantam B’s this year.

We were speechless last week. Literally no PWAA commentary. Partly because we forgot and partly because we witnessed Moorhead lose to Minnetonka 8-0. Our records show that the Spuds PeeWee AA hasn’t suffered an eight goal defeat in the YHH era (2010-11).

Well, the Spuds came a goal away from turing the tables on Minnetonka in the Spirit of Duluth finals a week later, coming up short in OT on a Will Stinson GWG.

Warroad and Roseville are in a class by themselves so far in single A. Both teams are top-10 AA teams who are simply forcing their will on A opponents at this point of the season.

Roseville beat Big Pumpkin semifinalist Eden Prairie last weekend. The Warriors have seven AA wins under their belt and their lone loss was to No. 2AA Moorhead in a game that went deep into the third period.

No surprise Minnetonka has two PWB teams in the top-5. The Skippers have left the state Black and Blue going 25-3-1 in the first six weeks of the season.

OMG Black grabs the top spot this week. Since November 1, the Leafbirds have gone 13-1 and have five top-10 wins.
