franchise

YES PLEASE! Strengths A dangerous player with or without the puck in the offensive zone. Quick, accurate shot. Effective puck distributor.

Maybe some of them were

It's kind of crazy that they actually play on different size rinks. I could see a playmaker that isn't a fan of contact, giving the edge to a place like St Cloud on the big sheet

What did he honestly contribute that any other guy can't step right in and provide?

Coaches, team success, system, friends on the team, location of the school, size of the rink...

Obviously facilities aren't the sole determining factor for a recruit, or UND would be loaded

One weekend there and I'll never go back. Shuffling thru tiny concrete corridors to go find my seats are covered in sticky crap. Had to sit on napkins, listening to their stupid goal chant, while shivering and counting their Participation Banners! No leather or marble to be found anywhere...haha

St Cloud's arena is a dump

Not bad, but all depends how long he's at UND, which none of can predict. For conversation sake, I'd rather he come early and stay 3 yrs than stay in juniors and play 2 at UND

Does high bidder get to choose which letter they want?

Well that sucks.

Since when? He signed his letter, no?

You're missing Rizzo

A basic throwback with a Sioux head

It is with supreme, yet unfounded confidence, that I will purchase one, and only 1 ticket!

Yes! I've scoured the net searching for that video. When I introduced my wife to Sioux hockey, she fell in love with Trupper. I brought up that play, as the reason that I knew he was gonna be special.

Wow...crazy that you can never meet a man, but still be really saddened to hear about his passing. I guess we all end up as part of one big dysfunctional family, as we share the highs and lows of our favorite team. I'll definitely be keeping his family in my prayers.

That Harvard no goal is looming large

Fixed.

How long until we get the on ice projection system?

Is this get together prior to the Final Four title game? If so, put me down for a "soft possible"

He led the USHL with 35 goals...tied with that Boeser guy. That's better than decent.

Wasn't so much taking a shot at UND, as saying there's no guarantee that these incoming scorers are going to put up big numbers. Poor wording.

UND is where "solid scorers" come to die. Remember Chris Wilkie treating the USHL like a playground?
