Commitment: Augustana

This is Bergeson's second season as a 20-plus goal scorer for the Spuds. The Augustana commit is a talented multi-sport athlete who knows when to come in clutch since he has eight game-winning goals in 2024-25.

Maddux Domagala, Jr., F, Luverne

Some high school hockey fans might overlook No. 8-seed Luverne in the Class A tournament, but you definitely shouldn't underestimate the power of the Cardinals and their leading scorer, Maddux Domagala.

Ben Geiger, So., D, Northfield
20-35-55 in 27GP

Northfield's Ben Geiger has already hit the 20-goal mark this season as just a sophomore and as a defenseman. The 16-year-old is one of the top young prospects in the entire state and a name you should absolutely know on the Raiders roster.

Paulbeck is the engine behind a talented Northern Lakes squad this year. The senior captain has almost 40 goals in 2024-25, including five game-winners, and he also plays a very disciplined game considering that he hasn't taken a single minor penalty all season.

Schenider burst onto the scene last year as a star freshman for the Hornets, scoring at almost a point-per-game pace. Now, the sophomore forward is even better, and it's safe to say that he's one of the top '09 birth year skaters in the country.

Charlie Stenehjem, Sr., G, Moorhead
.913 SV% / 1.83 GAA / 4 SO

As one of the finalists for the Frank Brimsek award this season, Stenehjem has been the brick wall for a very talented Moorhead squad in 2024-25.
