You are correct Perra wasn't on scholarship but did work his way up to 3rd on the depth chart. It sounds like he will end up at D3 St.Thomas.

Mattson scored the 1st goal of the game on the powerplay in a 4-3 Grand Rapids win over Duluth East. Mattson played well and showed a lot of skill and it was a great game to watch between the longtime rivals.

If anyone wants to get a look at Mattson and some prospective recruits youth hockey hub is streaming the Duluth East @ Grand Rapids game for free tonight http://www.youthhockeyhub.com/news_article/show/596721?referrer_id=967187-news

Here is a roster http://www.usahockeyntdp.com/roster/show/1941138?subseason=231692 Looks like the only two uncommitted are defenseman JD Greenway and forward Patrick Khodorenko.

Yeah I think Schloss has said that in the live chats before.

They tried to throw a couple to Pruitt Teddy just missed him on a fade that would have been a TD. Also know Ellison caught at least 1 because he got hurt on the tackle and is now out for the rest of the season. Vikings defense was solid last night but they weren't real great in other areas. They have to be better offensively and on special teams to beat Seattle and the defense needs to get pressure but also not give Wilson lanes to scramble. Norv needs to not be scared to take shots with Teddy even if he misses 1 right away, he can't get into the predictable run on 1st down calls every time like is sometimes the case.

Completely agree in the 2 losses the US scored I believe 1 goal sure could have used some of the talented pure scorers that are on that list. The coaching choice also may have ended up being a poor one as Wilson basically said postgame he didn't prepare for Russia at all and knew nothing about their team or their players.

Looked pretty good got robbed after a turnover from the Swiss on a nice setup from Schmaltz.

Anyone else lose sound after the 1st period or is it just my computer to tv connection? Never mind got the sound figured out good clear feed.

Those top guys had nothing left in the tank to make a charge in the 3rd because they had played so many minutes with all the special teams time especially with DeBrincat being out after the 1st period. With how many penalties seem to always be called in international play its just another reason they should have took guys like Connor, Tuch, and others over Easnor, Bjork, Donato, Hitchcock and MacInnis and not too many of their 4th line guys play the PK either.

Always nice to beat Canada! Really dumb play by DeBrincat with the spear even if the Canada player did sell it quite a bit. The U.S. defensemen were kind of shaky I thought Belpedio and Borgen were the best of the bunch. Still wish they would have taken at least a couple of the guys like Connor, Tuch, Garland, Roslovic, Bracco, and Keller as I thought a couple of those 4th liners really struggled today.

When Teddy gets a little time he is very good and definitely a starting caliber NFL QB. The problem is he has been playing behind a OL that has been pretty bad in pass protection sending him running for his life quite a bit this year and Diggs is the only WR you can count on to win 1-on-1 battles consistently. I like Teddy a lot right now and he will continue to get better with better protection and better weapons. I also think at times Turner gets too conservative with Teddy and could open it up a little more but a pretty big part of that is probably on the struggling OL.

Can add Michigan to the list they offered last night. He said last night his top 3 are Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa State.

Real solid game tonight to finish off the sweep. Duluth really throws everything to the net and Cam was good all weekend but great job of team defense as well keeping UMD out of prime scoring areas, getting in shooting lanes, and tying up sticks. Good to see a couple power play goals tonight. Officials let them play physical and let most of the after the whistle stuff go and I was okay with that but the dirty cross check from Soucy on Boeser when he was already on the ground definitely should have been called. Loved the loud Lets Go Sioux chants all weekend and the Sioux Forever chant at the end.

I think you could very well see that with the hockey team anyway. I would be very surprised if they actually use any sort of Hawk logo. I would bet they just stick with the same jersey style they have now and probably keep the helmets the same too. As for the announcer thing I'm sure we could request it but I don't think the university would want to request it.

Kind of a sloppy game way too many turnovers and a little careless with the puck at times but still a solid road win. That was the most physical I've seen UND play all year and nobody looked out of place at all playing that way. Despite struggling a little bit with turnovers and creating offense the Sioux were great in the transition game and it started all 3 goals. I think that was the best game Cam has played at UND. The team defense limited the number of real good chances for Duluth but the 5-6 real good chances UMD had Cam came up with and the breakaway save could have been a gamechanger if he doesn't come up with it. He was real solid positionally and just seems much more calm in net than previous games. He did give up a few bad rebounds as the game went on but everytime a UND player was there to clear it. Nice to see both Gersich and Jantuinen finish on chances tonight hopefully that can get them rolling a little bit and hopefully Wilkie can also get on the board tomorrow as he's another guy that just needs to get one to go. As the game went on the extracurricular stuff picked up and I'd expect more of it tomorrow. The powerplay really seemed to struggle with Duluth being a little more aggressive on the PK so I'd guess that will be an area we see an adjustment in for tomorrow night.

Not too many UND did a real good job getting in shooting lanes as well. I'd say 5-6 grade A chances mostly it was just Cam being solid positionally and not giving up many rebounds. The big play was the stop on the breakaway where Duluth could have cut it to 2-1 early in the 2nd with a shorthanded goal.

Conner and Tuch are the biggest surprises to me I thought they were absolute locks to make the team and the strange thing is both can play on basically any type of line you wanted to put them on. I also thought Roslovic, Fischer, and Garland deserved at the very least camp invites. The execs. are already being questioned by many and if we see another disappointing USA quarterfinal loss they will be questioned even more and deservedly so. I would put Conner, Tuch, Roslovic, Fischer, and Garland on the camp roster in place of MacInnis, Hitchcock, Eansor, Bjork, and either Bittner, Donato, or Bellows.

Kramer also has PWO offers from both Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Vikings have not played well today at all but man this officiating is the worst I have ever seen. Wonder if this crew has some previous history and is holding something against the Vikings/Zimmer.

If it is only the hockey only people booing than there are plenty of them because it was loud and clear and led by the students followed by Sioux Forever chants. It only happened after a penalty was killed by UND as that is the only time the PA used the nickname. Cam Johnson said after the game last night that he liked the fans booing the name and other players felt the same.

2 very solid games to get the sweep. The CBS line was fantastic again but can really start to see other lines starting to get more comfortable with each other and creating more offensive chances. Poganski was great this weekend and turned his game up a notch like we saw from him last season in the 2nd half. Would prefer to see Gersich in over Sanderson but will admit Sanderson was around the net with some chances tonight but it just seems like he never finishes on any.

Schmaltz

Poganski looked as good as he has in a while which was good to see hopefully a few others can start to break out of their slumps like Gersich, Wilkie, LJ, and Chyzk and make this team more dangerous than it already is. The team defense was great not many good chances at all for Denver and when they did get a decent chance Cam was solid. Gonna need another good performance to get the sweep I would expect a little more physicality and after the whistle stuff tomorrow night. Loved that the fans loudly booed anytime the fighting hawks name was announced and then chanted Sioux Forever.
