UND lands major recruit
UND has landed one of the most coveted recruits in the country.
Californian Rocco Grimaldi sent me a text message this morning simply stating: "I am a North Dakota Fighting Sioux."
Grimaldi was the leading scorer of the U.S. Under-17 team last season. He's only about 5-foot-6 or so, reportedly, but has loads of skill.
Grimaldi's finalists were UND, Denver and Notre Dame.
There will be much more coming later.

Holy crap, huge news!
What a great pickup for UND! Hakstol is continuing to land these "big" guns!
I put big in quotes because he's about as big as Duncan.
Hopefully Rocco can put up the stats like Duncan though!!

Talk about a huge signing.Reload,reload,reload.
Yeah I am pretty pleased with this one. I was pretty disappointed when the Rau kid decided to go to the goofers but this has made up for it.
I am guessing he didn't want to go to Notre Dame because hockey is probably third fiddle and DU well they have like 3 people that show up for games and of course UND. The choice was probably easy for him.

From the updated GF Herald story about Grimaldi
Quote
Rocco Grimaldi had the UND men's hockey coaching staff on a conference call Tuesday morning when he asked them to check their e-mail.
When they looked at it, there was a picture of one of the country's most coveted recruits wearing a Fighting Sioux hockey jersey.
"I decided to have a little fun with it," Grimaldi said about his commitment. "I just felt comfortable there. I really liked the coaching staff. They have their own perspectives and personalities. They have hard-nosed guys and funny, laid-back guys."
"The facilities are unbelievable and the players were really good to me when I was there. It seems like a bunch of good guys and a good community."

Landing the committment is only half the battle...

One day after UND landed Rocco Grimaldi, the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL traded to get his rights. Portland's general manager/coach makes no bones about the fact that they are going to pursue the talented forward.
