Below is a list of players that have either left their Minnesota high school team to play in a different league or have decided to transfer to a different school for the 2011-2012 hockey season.
21 players on the list have decided to leave Minnesota high school hockey altogether to play in a 'better league'. That seems like a lot of players leaving.
Keep this in mind: 3000+ players will play on a Minnesota high school boys varsity hockey team this season. 38 players in Class AA and Class A will obtain Minnesota hockey immortality by winning a Minnesota state championship.
If the information is false or there are other players that need to be added to the list, please contact me at followthepuck@gmail.com.
