We Nodaks are used to being treated as flyover players in so many ways. I hope we never take on an elitest air regarding college hockey. Just tend to business and win, having as much fun as possible along the way.
Do college players’ “advisers” have to register somewhere so that it is possible to know who is advising which players? Not talking family here, but uncompensated professional agents, who I understand are permitted.
Thats true enough, but if they are as good as represented, they are a few short years from negotiating hockey contracts as a professional—with the assistance of an agent, of course. If being asked about their plans is too burdensome, they have some catching up to do.
Why would they declare before they have to unless they feared losing the option? I get why WE would like them to, but why would they put down their cards now?
Interesting. I see that Jayden played 2 years in the Lumberdome before going to Jamestown. Since they are both southern Manitoba grown and share some Bottineau history, I wonder if the Carels and Penner families connect in any way.
We after talk about how chippas want TOI and may prefer a team that is not already stocked with chippas at their position. Aside from PP and PK time, what is the usual difference in TOI between first and second lines? I’m sure it varies quite a bit, but we all seem to operate under the assumption that the difference is meaningful.
