PREP HOCKEY: Top-ranked Panthers tear through Spuds

Lakeville North puts on a show at the Holiday Classic, hangs 10 on Moorhead



ST LOUIS PARK - How many Division 1 recruits do they have? How many might they end up with? 

If Monday evening's 10-1 thrashing of Moorhead is any indication of the kind of talent Lakeville North is starting to develop, then why not take them all?

A couple of early miscues aside, North was able to showcase again how deep they are, and how well they all skate. Groups of scouts looked on with close attention to North's broad-framed and, talented defensemen broke out of the zone with ease, and pushed the puck ahead to forwards who use speed and creativity to thrive.

The No. 1-ranked team in the state made short work of a better-than-decent Moorhead (5-3-1) team in Monday's Sports Authority Holiday Classic in St. Louis Park, netting 10 goals on 33 shots.

Lakeville junior Taylor Schneider finished the game with four goals, and both Jack Poehling and Max Johnson finished with a pair of goals for the Panthers.

Nick Poehling, a 5-foot-10 senior leads the team with 13 goals, and his twin brother Jack has nine goals and 11 assists for a team-best 20 points in nine games. Both are St. Cloud State recruits, as is their younger brother Ryan, a sophomore.

Lakeville North improved its record to 9-0 heading into Tuesday night's game with Benilde-St. Margaret's (4-4-2) back in St. Louis Park at the Holiday Classic. 

Below are Lakeville North's current college commitments:

Ryan Edquist - Jr / G. - Minnesota; Jack McNeeley - Sr / D - UN-Omaha; Jack Sadek - Sr / D - Minnesota; Nick Poehling - Sr / F - St. Cloud State; Jack Poehling - Sr /  F - St. Cloud State, Ryan Poehling - So / F - St. Cloud State
