Here is my early thoughts on the Hockey Regionals affected the OAA. Locations haven't been named yet. Will be updated when they come out.
Hockey Regionals (Regions 1-8 is Division One while is 9-16 is Division Two)
Region 5
CLARKSTON
OXFORD-AVONDALE
Brighton
Grand Blanc
Howell
Orchard Lake St. Mary’s
Waterford
Early Thoughts: I think this regional will be very
interesting. I’m keeping an eye on four teams in Clarkston, Brighton, Orchard
Lake St. Marys, and Howell. The Eaglets are the early favorite but the
Bulldogs, Wolves, and Highlanders are right in the mix.
Region 6
ROCHESTER UNITED
Macomb Dakota
Macomb L’Anse Creuse
Port Huron
Utica
Utica Eisenhower
Early Thoughts: I think this regional will be very
interesting. I’m keeping an eye on three teams in Rochester United, Utica
Eisenhower, and Macomb Dakota. The Eagles are the early favorite but the
Cougars are a rival to Utica Eisenhower and there is Rochester United in there
as well.
Region 7
BERKLEY-FERNDALE
BIRMINGHAM
FARMINGTON
TROY UNITED
St. Clair Shores Lakeview
Novi Detroit Catholic Central
Early Thoughts: This regional looks very interesting. I’m
keeping a close eye on Novi Detroit Catholic Central although Troy United,
Birmingham, and Farmington are going to be tough challengers against the
Shamrocks.
Region 13
LAKE ORION
BLOOMFIELD HILLS
WEST BLOOMFIELD
Birmingham Brother Rice
Walled Lake
White Lake
Early Thoughts: This regional looks to be interesting on
paper. I’m keeping an eye on a possible Lake Orion vs Birmingham Brother Rice
clash. Clearly these teams are the two best in the region and are ranked in the
State in Division Two.
Region 14
STONEY CREEK
Chippewa Valley
Romeo
Marysville
New Baltimore Anchor Bay
Port Huron Northern
Ubly
Early Thoughts: This is a wide open regional on paper. I can
see Stoney Creek being the favorites in this regional but there are several
teams to watch like Port Huron Northern but right now this looks like it’s the
Cougars to lose.
Bowling Regionals

CLARKSTON
LAKE ORION
OXFORD
Lapeer
Grand Blanc
Davison
Flint Carman Ainsworth

Boys: The favorite has to be Oxford because of proven
experience although Flushing, Lapeer, Midland, and Davison will have strong
says in this regional.

right there and Flushing is a dark horse to watch for.

Farmington Hills Mercy
Novi Detroit Catholic Central

Milford
Waterford Kettering
Waterford Mott

they have experience back but Waterford Kettering will be in the mix.

has to be South Lyon with whom they have back.

in this regional despite Taylor being the favorite to win this regional.

Warren Woods Tower
Boys: The favorite has to be Marysville although South Lyon
East and Warren Woods Tower will have strong says as well.
Girls: This is a loaded regional with some solid bowling
powers in South Lyon East, Warren Fitzgerald, and Pontiac Notre Dame Prep.
Whoever wins this regional will have a strong say in the State Finals.

Region 2 at Clarkston
CLARKSTON
LAKE ORION
OXFORD-HOLLY

BLOOMFIELD HILLS
ROCHESTER
ADAMS

top ten in the State last season. Clarkston has to be the favorite followed by
Birmingham, Lake Orion, and Bloomfield Hills.
Girls: The favorite has to be Clarkston with who they have
back but Birmingham is expected to challenge for this regional along with
Fenton/Lake Fenton/Linden. It will be very interesting to say the least.
