Osseo/Park Center at Blaine
6:30 p.m., Friday, April 21


Osseo/Park Center will need to find a way to move on from star attacker Boone Almquist, with the the 47-goal scorer graduating and moving on to St. John's in Collegeville.

Helping to fill the scoring void will be Daman Lingasin (20 goals). The sophomore will be the focal point of an offense that tallied 155 goals in 14 games last season.

Blaine will also be taking the field in 2017 without its five leading scorers from 2016, with John Hicke, Tanner Jones, Ridge Gerads, Alec Larson and Wyatt Dimke moving on.

The Bengals will also need to find a replacement in net, with both of last season's goalies graduating.

It's not all bad news however, as Blaine returns Ethan TaylorMick Rynerson and Kurtis Weigand, three defenders that saw varsity action last season who will give the Bengals an experienced core to build upon in this Northwest Suburban Conference matchup.
