Fruend or Fruechte, would be an interesting poll. The most recent frustration has been with Fruechte though, so Danny would probably win in that poll. If the poll was taken halfway through the season though, might have been Fruechte leading the poll?

You know you've gotten a good player when you win a recruiting battle with DU, seeing as Carle has a knack for bringing in winners. Plus he's projected as a mid- to late-rounder, meaning there's a good chance he'll be around for 3-4 years & won't require a boatload of NIL money before he steps on campus.

Right, Davis from SDSU got drafted didnt he, and made a roster. NDSU and SDSU have had a fair amount of guys drafted recently, which helps UND and USD get eyes on them as well as the MVFC. Guys like Rucker and others that really show out will get plenty of eyes on them, and lots of playing time.

And he hasn't been to GF. I wonder if he visited Denver.

God it would be f*cken awesome if he came back to be the OC for Schmidt and his protege Kaminski…. A guy can dream can’t he?

He probably needs another year of junior anyway to fully round out his game and dominate offensively in the Dub next year. He'll come in as a young 20 year old, but with plenty of high leverage experience at the junior level, more ready than Brent Johnson ever was when they brought him in too early. This is a quality pickup, most definitely will fill voids left behind by those signing pro after this year or next.

Klimpke probably verballed before the season is over because it sounds like he'll be completing his 4-year commitment with Saskatoon; or until he ages out. Others, like Carels & Lin who are projected 1st-rounders & who will be leaving their CHL clubs early, will wait until their respective seasons are over.

Foreshadowing?

Klimpke seems like a solid prospect to add to the list! Currently rated as a C prospect, so middle/late rounds. Looks like we beat out DU. And this was an interesting tidbit about his brother saying that the Ralph was his favorite arena:

I think the decision on Williams will come down to how he finishes the season. Right now he's just about the same pace as he was last year in the WHL. I wouldn't be surprised if he came in next season, but am guessing that the staff might also be looking at some other high end CHL forwards to come in that might push him back for one more year in juniors.

Interesting, in the article it stated that Cooper Williams & Klimpke, teammates in Saskatoon, will likely come to UND together in the fall of 2027. Thought previously that Williams was coming in next year.

You could be right. On the other hand, based on some of the comments on this forum, UND doesn't have two nickels to rub together for anything other than hockey.

Danny had a good audition today during the bowl game. Will be interesting to see where he lands as it does not appear he will be on Rogers staff at ISU.

I’m not sure EGF is going to win another game this season. Getting spanked by GFC tonight. Haven’t beat a single MN team yet?

Yes it is. I think the two receivers coming in will have very nice years. I expect the kid from Florida to be wr 1 by the end of the year.

With the state/USA Hockey using NCAA arenas for the except one for the preliminary games should be a good recruiting tool for the NCAA to get more euros.

Pretty much SRO

Well I wish him well wherever he goes. The MVFC gets a lot of press in recent years so I think the opportunities are there even if you stay.
