Pre-Season awards...

[Gopherlax29]

I won't make any predictions on them (well maybe a few that don't effect me)

A League Champion?-------------------
B League Champion? St. Johns (Wilman returns at D, and Michaelson too much)

A League Offensive player of the year?--------------
B League Offensive player of the year? I say Nic Michaelson-SJU, he is dirty and will have a year of expierence this year.

A League Defensive player of the year? Al Kestler-Minn., Obvious one here.
B League Defensive player of the year? Dan Wilman-SJU., Hurt his freshmen year, transfered last year, transfered back this year. He can't stop me (hahaha)but other than that he is sweet.

A League goalie of the year? Jake Launert-UMD-depends on if he gets the start, I would imagine UMD to pick a starter this year and I think it willl/should be him.

B League goalie of the year? UWEC's goalie (Boroka or something) Sorry I don't know your name, but I know you saved a few of my shots...

A league rookie of the year? Tie-Bryce Reme-Minn.(Midi) and Mike (Michigan)-UMD-(Att.) I can't think of his last name, but he is good player, and Bryce Reme returns to lax after a year off from H.S. Solid on the face-offs and ses the field well.

B League rookie of the year? Mike Freeman-SJU-(LSM) Played amazingly well against us in H.S. and I can't imagine him getting worse.

Someone answer these, and we can look back on it later. I was thinking about adding surprise teams, under-rated teams, but got sick of all the typing, add what you want...

I could probably make a good argument for every B category to be a SJU guy, but ill leave them out (well at least most)
A League Champion? Duluth
B League Champion? _____

A League Offensive player of the year? my vote goes to pete nelson
B League Offensive player of the year? Other then the SJU attack ill say tornell from UST

A League Defensive player of the year? Al Kestler-Minn., Obvious one here.
B League Defensive player of the year? Hilde (sp) from UST. It was his first year of lax and he will be even better this year

A League goalie of the year? From what i have seen as of late and in the UMLL Championship game id say Ryan Schoenecker (umd) gets the start and is sweet

B League goalie of the year? i think the UWEC goalie graduated, but other then that Piper from ust aint bad but if SJU goalie (didnt play last year) Will Durbin returns to form he could be sick.

A league rookie of the year? without a doubt i'd say mike from Michigan. he is sick.

B League rookie of the year? Mike Freeman-SJU-(LSM) All i have heard is rants about how sick the kid is.

In the B-league i would say look out for maybe bethel and Eau claire competing a little bit better as i heard Bethel has a few good recruits. The other question that everyone has is will SJU finnaly get prove themselves by playing UMD this year??? If memory serves me correctly it is their turn to come to collegeville.

I would love to see St. olaf put a scare into the U or UMD. In my opinion UMD will run away with another UMLL title again and have another rough time at the National Championship

[Gopherlax29]

run away? haha, atleast 1 person replied.

Okay, me and Pete both know your kidding about having him a the OPY, so who is it? I love the joke though I must say.
