    All of those places (other than St. Cloud) are more desirable places to live than Grand Forks. Real estate prices and population growth over the past 20 years reflect that.

    I disagree if you are including Duluth. Duluth is a dirty, depressing city with even worse weather than Grand Forks. Minneapolis aka Gotham City used to be nice before it turned into the crime capital of the Midwest, but hockey is also not the top sport. Ann Arbor is nice, but hockey is way down on the list behind football, basketball and probably other sports. I get Denver and ASU, but not the other ones. On the other hand, we do out recruit Duluth and St. Cloud most years.

    My answer is no

     

    im still waiting for that list you said your going to give me of us beating out other blue bloods

    Are you looking for 1st round draft picks, or what is your definition of "blue chippas"? If you go to collegehockeyinc.com, there is a list of NHL First Round Draft Picks Who Played College Hockey. Since 2010, here is the breakdown: 1. Michigan 14; 2. BU 12; 3. BC and UND 9 (I included Pinto since he was the 1st pick of the 2nd round and meets any definition of "blue chipper); 4. Wisconsin 6; 5. Minnesota 5; 6. Denver, SCSU, Providence and Miami 2 each; 7. UMD, UMass, UConn, Northeastern, CC and Harvard 1 each. 

    If you go back to 2003, UND does even better because they had 1 in 2003, 2 in 2004, 3 in 2005, and 1 in 2006.  It seems that we outperform our NCHC rivals SCSU, Miami, Denver and UMD (your favorite school)

    And what do you base this upon Nostradamus? Chris VandeVelde played 2 years of juniors, and only had 3 goals and 6 assists for 9 points in 38 games his freshman year. He had a great career at UND and played in the NHL. Jackson Kunz is similarly framed, but only played 1 year of juniors, so he came in younger than VandeVelde. Kunz has 2 goals and 2 assists for 4 points in 38 games. Lee Goren, another big guy, struggled scoring his first year (3 goals and 13 assists) and also had a great career. I really would like to know what you based this opinion upon, and what experience you have in hockey that gives you that insight? If you have no insight other than being a keyboard warrior, please refrain from posting about players because they and their family also view this site and it is embarassing having to defend these types of posts. 

    Edit: Kunz has only played 17 games

    For Hobey?  I would think putting up numbers better than Cale Makar at this point is unavoidable to notice.  Yes, Makar was in the East, but all the coaches talk about how Sanderson shouldn't even be at this level, so I would guess the word is out everywhere.  Whether they would still be provincial is another question, but make no mistake everyone that knows about hockey knows Sanderson is legit. 

    I agree that Jake Sanderson is probably the best player in the country, but that does not make him the Hobey favorite at this time. You should read Adam Wodon's article in College Hockey News dated December 20, 2021. He lists the Hobey favorites as: (1) Ethan Frank, WMU; (2) Owen Power, Michigan; (3) Devon Levi, Northeastern; (4) Carter Savoie, DU; (5) Nathan Smith, MSUM.

    Two second round picks on blue line

    DeFauw and Commodore

    and

    Two 3rd round picks up front

    Bayda and Goren

     

    That's it

     

    They beat a Maine team with 10 NHL draft picks including 1 first round pick and 1 second round pick in the semi finals and BC with 11 NHL picks including 2 first round picks, 1 second round pick and 2 3rd rounders for the title.

    Brad DeFauw was a forward
