1. CBC
2. CCP
3. Vianney ?
4. DeSmet
5. SLUH

Vianney could possibly be a team to beat this year with a very veteran team, from forwards all the way to goaltending. They have Elite leaders and a solid hard working team behind them. Watch out for Vianney this upcoming year. Yes, they only have a few "Elite players" , but in highschool they have a solid team to compete. Both Goaltenders are seniors. It will be a fight for the number one spot. They should both be on there games all season. Check out there top players this year.

Solid Forwards
Kowalczyk, Boning, Wiseman, Jones, Stout, Chestnas, Paluczyk

Solid Defense
Cero, Slaznik, Fairchild, Aul, Overkamp

Goaltending
Dahlheimer, Bearden

whos boning?

SLUH will be much higher. For sure above Desmet and Vianney. They have all there power players returning and only loosing Effinger. Goal tending will be issues with all the metro teams this year.

CBC will run the show again as long as none of their top players pursue Jr A opportunities

Sluh goaltending issues will be much more severe than anyone else in the Metro. Without Effinger Sluh will not be nearly as successful as they were last year.

My rankings for the Metro
1. CBC
2. Chaminade
3. Vianney
4. Sluh
5. Desmet

Tells us which one of the CBC players will go on to Junior A? I can't wait for you to tell us this story.

Its not likely that anyone will, but who would have thought that Brian Sheehan would have left after just his sophomore year. Anything is possible, it just takes one team to really like a player.

How many CBC players will be leaving now that CBC has lost their accreditation? Oh that right... you go to school there for the hockey not the education.

CBC did not loose their accreditation.  They are just broke with no money and letting teachers go next year.

keep hating on lordo... best d in the league last year, and will be next year. might of made some mistakes in the final, but i didnt see big bad Clark come after him

Vianney will be last in Metro.

cbc is stacked

who cares how stacked cbc is. If they are so stacked then it will be another exciting year watching cbc dominate. FUN FUN FUN we are all looking forward to hearing this all year.

Not so fast CCP has a great group coming back and added to that they have young guns coming. Should be able to knock off CBC. Goaltending will be the only question for now.

I heard CCP has 5 AAA freshman. Any truth to that rumor? Is Gensler and Wideman still playing?

no truth, rough times ahead.

vianney will not be last

Kinda like how CCP knocked off CBC the last 2 years ... O wait ... another year, another CBC romp

gensler might come back for his senior year... wideman will deffinately be back.... and yes there is 3 aaa defenseman and 2 aaa forwards coming in for ccp... ccp is looking good

So they will have 2 lines again to try to compete against CBCs 4.

i love how everyone forgets lordo... had more points than carey going into the state final, he is the best dman in the league.

I think the final proved that both carey and clark are much better than lordo and not complete morons who get 5 penalties in 2 periods to be kicked out of the game. Cant really help your team from the showers.

Lordo is great. He is more physical than any high school player. He doesn't get penalties on AAA. Maybe the refs are to quick to blow their whistle. Let's face it hockey is a physical sport.

False, he is not the biggest hitter.

Nobody is debating that hockeys a physical sport, Lordo just isnt very good at it. He gets walked like its his job.

You benders have no idea what your talking about. Name one time that lordo got walked this year?

Vianney defense was average at best, and they just lost their most reliable and physical returning defenseman to surgery - Slazinik is out for a year. Doubt he ever plays hockey again.

Lordo = pylon ... great game at Scottrade too, must have been fun watching from the stands.

Slazinik was good for Vianney but he coughed the puck up more than anyone ive ever seen.

1desmet-with miller back behind the bench and garlik gone it will be easy
2cbc-losing kanipe they cant win again with out him
3sluh-losing their only star effinger
4vianny-still solid team
5ccp-embarassed 2 years in final kick'em outta metro or at least put them on the same side as the powerhouse so they dont get killed on tv

ccp may have lost two years in a row but lets not forget that they were the 2nd best team in metro or else they wouldn't have been there. Lets see if another metro team can step up and play cbc in the big game. But first you have to beat the god awful CCP.

Well you know, Oakville did it

Well you know, Oakville did it

Oakville did do it. But no one else has come close. CBC still has maybe not the superstars but you can always count on 3 solid lines and that will beat 1, 2, or 3 superstarts anytime.

Oakville wont do it with the coach they have now all the kids hate him

Even though CBC and Chaminade have more talent, I think Vianney might be getting overlooked a little. An older team with a lot of returning seniors including their two leading goal scorers. If they can get some solid goaltending this year they are not a team that should not be taken lightly.

According to STL Today Vianney's top scorers were placed #8 and #16 in the metro league in points. Not even close to the rest of the pack. If they are your top goal scorers than you better have a back up plan.

Even though their stats werent great against the Metro last year i would say Kowalcyzk (31 pts) and Boning (24 pts) are a pretty good pair to have

11:20 pm "Oakville wont do it with the coach they have now all the kids hate him"

IT'S THE SAME COACH!!!............. Different players, that's this issue.

Maybe not the coaches 1st choice job (CBC) but hey, Oakville is the next best choice........right? Isn't that what he said at the Banquet?

Their stats aren't bad but not enough to carry a team.

keep hating on lordo... best d in the league last year, and will be next year. might of made some mistakes in the final, but i didnt see big bad Clark come after him

Why would Clark or anyone else wanted to make an ass out of themself like Lordo did? Might be a good kid. But what he did in the final and many of his CCP buddies was deplorable. Dispicable. Sorry no one on CBC chose to act like an ahole like some of the CCP boys.

Why do we have to rehash this all over again?

because chaminades an embarrassment to the game and always will be

come on embarrassment is a little much. Just because you are jealous of their talent. If you didn't play in the games than you don't need to be embarrassed for chaminade. They are a good bunch of kids. To say they are an embarrassment is a little much. Everyone wants to bring up the past and put Chaminade's season on the championship games. There is more than 1 game in a season. No one gives Chaminade the credit for beating everyone else to make it to the big game. If people are tired of seeing Chaminade beat by cbc than maybe someone else can step up and get beat by cbc. They did the best they could against cbc 4 solid lines to chaminades 3 to 4 good players so it's time to move on and lets see what 08-09 brings.

THEIR BEST WAS SHIT.

In most Championships no one ever remembers who finished second. But b/c of the way CCP lost they will be remembered forever.
I don't think that's something anyone wants to be remembered for.

They palyed CBC close during the regular season 2 years in a row but when it counted they CHOKED. You can put whatever spin on it that you want but that's what happened.

No one is denying that CCP lost big in 2 big games. The point is that they are not a shit team and they can play hockey. No one seems to acknowledge that they were the 2nd best team. All the haters focus on is the loss which is over with and its time to move on. Can't we talk about something else like how ccp beat your team.

2:11- I think one of the issues was how they played without any class to become the second best team at ScottTrade center. Most people understand that the team that lose in the championship game is the second best and had to have some success in order to get there. What most people don't respect is the total lack of class many players displayed.

The one thing i will remember from this past years championship game is how dumb Gensler looked when he tackled his defenseman after chaminade scored their second goal. I guess he didnt realize it was 7-2. Classic.

no points for second, dickey.

CCP classless? It all goes back to the same arguement. CCP was blamed all season for not having any heart. When they came out and played in the 3rd they showed heart. If you were a 15 - 16 year old kid who is loosing a hockey game for the second time don't tell us that you wouldn't have a lot of emotion. Unless you are a CBC or CCP player, you don't know what was being said on the ice either. It is a fact that all mighty CBC is no angel. So as it has been said before, IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON. I mean how stupid to keep going over this. You must really have an axe to grind. Living in the past is not healty. And as for gensler celebrating the 2nd goal, what about the kid who scored like the 7th goal celebrating and jumping up and down like he just got the overtime goal in the stanley cup. Not that is memorable.

Yup agree, you never give up in a hockey game even if your down by 20. Giving up shows terrible class.

Its one thing to not give up, its another thing to look like a douche.

The only person who looks like a douche is you. Are you a jealous hockey player or a pathetic parent who can't move on? Did CCP roll over your Johnny and you hold a grudge? It's sad that a parent has to come on here and bash young kids.

Vianney
-Kowalczyk 31 points
-Boning 24 points

-thats over a point a game for each of them and with a veteran hard working team behind them, they may be a tough to play against
-also, two senior goalies, both not stars, but above average. I am thinking a big year from one of them will happen.
-in closing, a very solid team.

CBC has no one who will play beyond HS. Enjoy your watered down championship.

1. CBC- Losing some solid players such as Carey, Kanipe, Dependahl, Lezinski, Peterson , and Filip but they have a lot of depth. Goaltending could be an issue but this is still the team to beat.

2. CCP- Only key lose is Leonard. If Gensler stays this team is still scary.

3. Vianney- Kowalcyzk and Boning lead a pretty hard working and solid forward unit. If D and goaltending hold up this team is dangerous, if not then it will be the same as last year.

4. Sluh- Losing Effinger is huge as they will rely on an average goalie to lead them all season long. Berger and Corby need to have another huge year for this team to be successful.

5. Desmet- This team seems to have a lot of issues starting with the head coach. Losing Devine, Garlik, Wardlaw, and Goodwin doesn't help either.

CBC

CCP



Everyone else

I think what 8:30 was talking about was this past year and the upcoming 08-09. They have no superstars left. They still will be the team to beat. Eventhough they have no superstars they always pull off a solid team and we have seen from past experiences a solid team beats 3 - 4 superstars everytime.

I dont see how returning 4 Jr B players and 1 AAA Major player equated to no superstars. Roth, Burkemper, and Clark account for 3 of the best 10 players in the league. But hey, I guess they have no superstars.

Why is Vianney on here pimping themselves already????

Good question cant wait for CBC to hang 10 on them again

Are any of the CB tech seniors attending a 4 year college/university next year?

good question.

The questions that were answered incorrectly most often on the CBC senior english final exam were: 1. spell your name 2. spell CBC backwards and forward. Thank goodness for the "curve".

I dont see how vianney is "pimping" themselves by saying they will finish 3rd

lol ahahahhahahaha overkamp!!?!?!? lol hahaha

If you have seen from where he started to where he is now he has become a pretty decent defenseman so its not that funny

He can actually be a very solid defensemen.

Heard the CB tech industrial arts final was a killer. The extra credit question "how do you open a paint can" helped everyone pass.

cbc is the best hockey around twat, if they weren't u wouldnt be rippin

CBC better be able to play hockey because their education blows but wait they don't go to school for the education they go to play hockey. Unfortunately you have to move on from CB tech eventually and suffer at the local community college because you didn't learn anything. On the other hand you are all such great players you will all get D 1 scholarships so grades don't matter. RIGHT?

The short yellow bus definitely stops on the outer road of hwy 40. What ever they charge for that education is too much.

i know everyone will say no way but....... i think gensler wideman and lordo are unbeatable also moritz signed with u 18 AAA so he should improve

yeah if gensler knew how to play defense or actually worked hard

Gensler has the most skill out of anyone still in high school hockey, but he doesnt work at all. Also, Moritz had 4 point in high school hockey last year! He must be a great addition to U18 AAA, not. They must be VERY weak at D to be taking him.

hey 11:46 have you ever watched Gensler play AAA. He does work hard or else he wouldn't of had the year he did. OMG this is high school hockey and he dominated most teams according to you by not playing hard. He had over 70 points last year in high school and led the metro by far. He was a huge reason Chaminade made it as far as they did. Lets see if he works harder maybe he could get over 100 points this year.

CBC and CCP are going to be the teams to beat again this year but only CCP if Gensler stays. I heard that Gensler is moving with his family. Is this true? I keep hearing different stories. Does anyone no for sure.

u18 aaa d suck

All five l
