Here's your Wednesday feel good:
- Seventeen former Sioux played in the NHL, most of any Western Collegiate Hockey Association program. Michigan is the only school in the country that had more than 17.
- Five former Sioux players
An ATO is only for the remainder of the remainder of the season, and the player can't be promoted to the NHL club as part of the deal. An ATO allows an AHL team to sign a college player whose season is over after the league's trade deadline.
Yeah, I was wondering about the "healthy scratch numerous times" thing. I sit in the Sioux d-zone two periods a game; replacing Jones is going to take a pretty special freshman. I didn't see too many opposing forwards wanting to go into the corner with Zach.
