Also, former UND player Ian Kidd is an assistant at Duluth Marshall.

Gary grew up in HIbbing - Serge is his uncle.

One way for the Gophers to get shipped to Albany/Green Bay is for the Sioux to get a #1 seed. If the Sioux run the table, including winning the final 5, can they flip enough PW comparisons to get a #1 seed?

I put this question in another post to bracketologists out there. Is there any scenario where the Sioux get white-hot and run the table, including the final 5, and get a #1 seed and knock MN out of the West region?

Question for bracketoligists? It looks like the UND is a solid #3/(10 seed overall). If they get white-hot and run the table, including the Final 5 in St. Paul, could they win enough comparisons to get to a #1 seed (3,4 overall) and knock Minnesota out of the West regional?

I know he's the enemy but you have to respect him and his program. Here's some thoughts from Don Lucia about developing players especially U8. Very good stuff every coach and parent should read and take to heart. Minnesota Hockey - Don Lucia U8 development

Wrong - Ovechkin looked pretty good at the Ralph last year - the same for Malkin in Vancouver this year. Also look at the NHL scoring leaders - lots of Euros (Jagr, Kovalchuk, Ovechkin, Alfredsson, Datsyuk, Hossa, etc.) The NHL rule changes have allowed the highly skilled Euro's to shine this year, for the better of the game. They have exposed the lack of focus USA Hockey/Hockey Canada have regarding skill development. I heard one NHL asst. GM talk about why the Euro's are developing so many talented players and his comment is that in Europe, there is much more unstructed ice time and very few games for players U14 and below. We in North America are fixated on AAA spring and fall teams, and Ann Arbor hockey factories, and not giving our kids a chance to really develop their skills properly.

http://members.aol.com/cheisenber/Recruit06.htm I see a lot of 2007's filling up lists for Minn, UMD, Wisc, Denver, St. Cloud and top programs in other conferences. Are we going to get the leftovers for 2007?

Jordy Christian - 5 goals, 1 assist last night vs. Bemidji. Come back Jordy, come back.

How did we lose Christian?
