Fri-Frattin Sat-Malone

He had hernia surgery and didn't play in any of the training camp..I'm guessing he is just rehabbing in ATL before they send him down when he is ready to Chicago (AHL)

Derek Forbort is the real deal. That was easy to see. He was out there for all 5 UND goals. That was no coincidence. Projected lineup this weekend. Trupp-Malone-Frattin Gregoire-Knight-Hextall Cichy-Nelson-Kristo Lamoureux-Rowney MacWilliam-Genoway Blood-Forbort Marto-Lapointe Simpson Eidsness Dell

At least we have a compitent 3rd goal in Ed Belfour. Still has 3 years of eligibility left.

With Schmaltz now committing, it reminds me that we've been on the good end of a lot of recruits de-committing for their first choice and picking UND.. -Jason Gregoire-formerly committed to Denver before switching to UND -Mario Lamoureux-formerly committed to Northern Michigan before switching to UND -Colten St. Clair-formerly committed to Colorad College before switching to UND -Jordan Schmaltz-formerly committed to Wisconsin before switching to UND Any others that you can remember, feel free to post

Highly touted forward recruit AJ Michaelson from Apple Valley said he has narrowed down his choices to U of M and UND. He will make his decision after attending the BSU-UND opening series in Bemidji. He is a junior in highschool right now. http://www.mnhockeyhub.com/news_article/show/61004?referrer_id=32770

Haha. I saw that. But its a mistake. I googled his name. It's supposed to be 5'11''

Looks like Brett Malone (Brad's brother) is playing for the Moncton Wildcats in the QMJHL, which means no college hockey for him. Pretty impressive as he just turned 16. http://www.moncton-wildcats.com/roster/index/team/58/sort/last

Pretty sure Nolan Zajac is still with Cedar Rapids (USHL) who he played for last season

Who are the 2 Shattuck guys?

That would be a huge pickup for the Sioux...but don't count out Major Juniors in Canada either for Schmaltz

Looks like Wisconsin committ Troy Hekseth was close to going to UND. His whole family went here and UND was his favorite team growing up. He was scheduled to play for Fargo (USHL) but with McDonough leaving for the NHL, he will probably be heading to Wisco this year http://oilers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=533...-twt-nhl_oilers

Anyone have any more news on this?

So in otherwords, expect him to come to UND in a couple years! I can't imagine Archie would want him any other place, and I'm sure the kid has heard plenty of good stories from his Dad

Riley Simpson (who I believe is the younger brother of Dillon) was picked by Fargo in the USHL draft today. The draft listed Riley's birthday as 11/30/93 and Dillon's is 2/10/93. Anyone have any insight on this? This is possible, but they are barely more than 9 months apart...

Zach Parise fired his agent. http://www.greenwichtime.com/sports/articl...bout-491637.php

Ummm....No they didn't

Toews and Parise will go on to have the best NHL careers of any former Sioux players

Ummm. 2007 Duncan and Oshie both were over 50. Dunc-57, Osh-52...

I would personally love if Eades got that job. No disrespect to him, but Brad Berry is one of the best in the business. He wants to be back with UND. Plus he was a defenseman and a defensive coach. Eades was a forward, but coaches defense at UND. I have personally talked to a former player who had both Eades and Berry as coaches, and he said Berry was the best coach he ever had. And this player gave up some eligibility to go pro because of the whole situation. Just my 2 cents.
