Caden Nienow shows off his moves on a slick goal in 14-6 win over Mound-Westonka.
Lleyton Roed- White Bear Lake
Roed was a freight-train in the Bears' win over Chaska/Chanhassen. Powerful skater with good size, plus a beautifully compact slapshot that can beat a goaltender from anywhere in the offensive zone.
Drew Fisher- Wodbury
An absolute menace on the attack. Relentless near an opposing goal. Shows soft hands and excellent motor on the ice.
Wyatt Kaiser- Andover
Had the prettiest goal of the night- a backhand toe-drag on a penalty shot. Appropriately opportunistic defender with the stick handling skills of a seasoned vet.
Aidan Hamre- Chaska/Chanhassen
Excellent size mixed with solid skills and a keen sense of spacing on the ice. Give him an inch, and he'll take take a yard. Then he'll beat the defender and bury the puck.
Brendan Bauman- White Bear Lake
Bauman stood on his head for the Bears, showing fantastic lateral movements and a great resistance to dekes. Quick glove, excellent on low shots.
Cade Kodytek scores for White Bear Lake in 18-13 win over Chaska/Chanhassen
