This looks good, but for forward I will go Tyler Richter from BHS.

Forward- Schmitt, Ricter, Cote Dickerson from williston and Logan Rauhauser and Seth Blair from century.
Defense- Romanick thats all you need
Goalie- Meddler andPreston Landenbruner from hazen. He's kept them in so many games it aint funny.

when you throw those two out you probably should take dickerson out to ya he has scored alot against crappy teams but isnt a very good in big games against tough teams

Goal scoring Forwards: Patrick Anderson, BHS and Jordan Nelson, WHS. These guys bury opportunities, and you can't teach that.
All around Forwards: Bryce Schmitt, Minot and Tyler Richter, BHS.
Defense: Nick Romanick before the mono.
Haven't seen a great goalie this year, but have not seen either Mandan or Hazen play, either.

Foward- Schmitt
Defense- Romanick
Havent seen any good goalies.

Forward: between Richter, Nelson, or Riopelle (kinda slipped a little though)
Defense: Obvious

He has to, he has no one around him...take away 2 of the best 3 players from willy, 5 of the best 6 from bhs, 3 of the best 4 for chs, or 1 of the best 2 from minot annt you have 1 paiment left on the team, he has NO support anywhere.

On a differrent note, the top line for BHS, CHS and Willy have all three players in the top 20 scorers in the state.

Sportsallday says, "Throw out Dickerson, he's scored alot against crappy teams..."

let's Look:

12/11: Versus MInot: 6-2 WHS win. Dickerson: 2 Goals, 4 assists
12/19: Versus BHS: 6-3 BHS WIn (I think). Dicckerson: 2 goals, 1 Assist
12/20: Versus CHS: 4-3 WHS win. Dickerson: 2 Goal, 1 assists (Goal was game winner with 20 seconds left)
1/15: Versus Minot: 4-0 Minot Win. (Well, what can he do?)
1/26: Versus BHS: 5-3 WHS win. Dickerson: 2 Assists

14 points in 5 games, against the top 3 teams in the West Region. Unfortunately, Williston doesn't get to play a full 21 games, or play the East Region, or more people would be educated instead of making dumb comments without knowing. Now, I understand, in a 3 game stand against crappy Canadian teams, Dickerson had 10 points in three games. (Holiday TOurney) But in another 3 game span, (Minot/bhs/chs), he had 12 points.

Do I think he's the best? NO.
Does he deserve a fair look as far as this "post" is concerned? yes.

Not only Dickerson, but I also Alex Hanson should be mentioned. He is one of the most solid defense man in the west.

dickerson has been averaging a goal against almost every team..he's got one of the hardest accurate shots in the state. Looking from those stats up top, he seems to put the puck in the net against even the tougher teams or setting people up..I'd leave him in

Nelson for sure..might not be the biggest player but he puts the puck away on every opportunity he gets and reads plays better than anyone else I've seen this year.

that's cause he's not..Richter, Nelson, or Dickerson for sure

Dickerson's having a fantastic year and I like him a lot, but if I were starting a team from scratch, Nelson's the guy from that line I want. He's the playmaker, he the one who draws the defense's attention, and he's does amazing things on the power play and penalty kill.

Of course I only see these guys when they play Williston, but Patrick Anderson impressed me more than anyone.
