Why? Seems like a character shot at the kid. Just because he's not playing doesn't mean he's the kind of the kid to bail on the team midseason.
I'm sure he chose UND not only for playing time as he could have been guaranteed that elsewhere in college hockey, international pro and in MJ. If he were not a sophomore and was upset in the media, I could maybe see it happening, but what leads you to believe this? Trying to see if you have insight on this or it's just a guess. Not being confrontational, here, btw.
