Both players, DAVE Spehar and Chris Locker, are juniors at Duluth East.
It's probably a bit early for speculation about where they might play
college hockey.
 
The most prominent junior in the 1993 state tournament was Jamie
Langenbrunner of Cloquet.  He got signed to a contract by the Winnipeg Jets,
passed up his senior year of high school, and went to play junior hockey in
Canada.  Just goes to show, anything can happen.
