T.J. has talent, physicality, strenght, incredible instinct, personality, humility, and is a great ambassador for UND. I hope the Hobey committee looks at all of it and looks at the other candidates 'indiscretions' and realize that T.J. is indeed, the perfect Hobey Baker recipient for 2008!!
T.J. and Jonny are both very talented young men with different styles. On the ice, T.J. looks more like the work horse he is, using his skills in a visibly more physical way while Jonny displays his skills in a smoother, effortless looking manner. Fighting Sioux fans have been honored to have both these young men play for our program. Having T.J. an extra year is indeed a blessing!!
While we have/have had these 'stars', we can't overlook the tremendous amount of talent on the team without which these boys could not have shone so brightly!
