FELDY: Let's Play Hockeyreleased its first Class AA and Class A state rankings and look where the Lourdes boys are rated (No. 3). A nice ranking for the Eagles and hard to argue with considering the depth they'll have both at forward and on the blue line. They don't have a goalie with varsity experience, but they have a couple of good candidates.
As always, Lourdes has quite a tough schedule. The Eagles play six other teams in LPH's Top 20. Here is the complete poll with Lourdes and its opponents bolded:
