I thought this was interesting. Also notice that Wisconsin had a great class and there were some others that were highly rated that never panned out. This is the 3rd Frozen Four for this class and hopefully the first championship.

Here is the class.
Scott Foyd - D - Solid Backup / Practice Player
Nate Ziegelman - G - Backup left program
Jordan Parise - G - Highly underrated at the time. Left school for professional hockey after Junior season as one of UND's best keepers ever.
Robbie Bina - D - Enormously underrated, one of the top point producing D-men in the WCHA this season, is only a Junior due to the Paukovich cheap shot.
Drew Stafford - F - Outstanding player, began playing for the Sioux at 17, went pro after his Junior year, now a mainstay with the NHL Sabres.
Matt Smaby - D - Great Defensman, went pro after his Junior year.
Chris Porter - F - Senior Captain, scored game winner against Minnesota, MVP of West Regionals, all time WCHA Ironman. May play for Blackhawks next season.
Brady Murray - C - Incredibly fast talented player, went pro in Europe after Sophomore year. May sign with L.A. Kings after this season. WCHA Freshman of the Year.
Eric Fabian - F - Underrated at the time, huge physical presence, scores big goals against the Gophers, member of 2005 all Frozen Four team.
Layne Sedevie - G - Transfered out
Chad Dahlen - D - Never Played?
This class contained at least 3 players that vastly exceeded expectation. That is fighting Sioux hockey...
