Rochester Ice Hawks prediction in the MNJHL next season??

[Goalie01]

The Ice Hawks did fairly well last season and a lot of their kids were moved up or got the chance to move up to the next level whether that was NCAA d3 or a tier II. I am wondering if there's a possibility of this happening once again and for other teams in the MnJHL to have successes.

First off, welcome to HF! I`m from Rochester myself, and the Hawks are a pererenial contender in the MNJHL. Even with the new alignment, I see them doing very well; Nick Fatis and his staff have done a great job making the Hawks into a national Tier III power.

Thank you, I know the skill level of the Ice Hawks is generally very good in the MnJHL, but my question is more on the lines of advancement and a MnJHL comparision to the NA3HL?

The MnJHL and NA3HL are actually on the same level, the only real difference is that the NAHL sponsors the latter and is more of a pipeline to the NAHL. In fact, several MnJHL teams before last season transferred to the NA3HL.
