That's a very good question. There are definitely conflicting reports (on the same college hockey recruiting website, no less) about his situation. This current year would have been his junior year of high school (at Woodbury), and he's on this list despite being so young and having another year of junior eligibility. I'll do some more checking and update the article when I get a definitive answer. Dave

I put an article up to try and help. But I hear ya, brother. Dave

I'm surprised, too, but he's on this list for 2014-15. Dave

This Rocco Grimaldi tweet from January might make us rethink comparing him to Rau and Gaudreau.: "Comparing (yourself) to others is dangerous. (You) risk becoming discouraged that (you're) not where they are, or prideful that they aren't where (you) are." Dave

I agree. I would be shocked if Rocco left (I've got it at under 10%). Dave

I just hope that those who have the ability to purchase regional tickets actually buy them with the intention of attending the games rather than reselling/gouging. It will definitely be a sellers' market. Dave

And what he might still be someday. Grimaldi has played in 86 college games (including the four during his first freshman season). Here are the numbers for Grimaldi, Rau, and Gaudreau in their first 86: Rocco Grimaldi: 31 goals, 46 assists, 77 points (.8953 pts./game) Kyle Rau: 34 goals, 57 assists, 91 points (1.0581 pts./game) Johhny Gaudreau: 48 goals, 59 assists, 109 points (1.2674 pts./game) Johnny Hockey didn't really start playing on another planet until this season (his junior year). He was at 1.2151 pts./game over his first two campaigns, and collected 80 points in 40 games this year. Rau and Gaudreau will be seniors next season, while Grimaldi will be a junior (if they stay). Dave

These two thoughts go hand in hand. I would think that Schmaltz and Grimaldi (the only two legitimate flight risks, in my opinion) would be more likely to come back given the way the season ended. Dave

I never said there were five skaters on the ice for the goal. Minnesota had five lined up for the faceoff after the goal. Didn't matter, just found it interesting. Dave

@TheNCHC tweeted on Wednesday that the composite league schedule will come out next week. Dave

That's definitely something I'll discuss in tomorrow's article. Dave

2014-15 North Dakota Hockey: The Future Is Bright Today's article focuses on the current roster, with incoming recruits highlighted tomorrow. Discuss. Dave

I'll have an article up within the hour. Just another service I provide. Dave

I think I've got until Saturday to figure all that out. Dave

This sums it up perfectly. Enjoy the game! Dave
