Siouxhockey03

This is going to be one of the deepest teams the Sioux have had in a while, the first two lines will be high scoring and so should the 4th, with the third being a checking line. Defense will be solid and the goaltending is not as bad as everyone thinks. Predictions: 2nd WCHA FF Champs NCAA Champs I really think this is the year!

Someone was talking about this on USCHO and I thought it was interesting about Drew being a top 10 pick in 2005! Drew should be a real asset to the team next year!

Trying to get some information on who the coaching staff is going after in upcoming years? Recruiting class for 04: Beaverson 6'3" 200+ (D) Lamoureux (G) That's a pretty good start with Beaverson being around #90 in the NHL Central Scouting Rankings if he enters. Beaverson is a defensive defensman. Lamoureux is a good goalie who should help the Sioux when he comes in. I know this is along time away, but if anyone has information please post. Who are the next big recruits that the Sioux are after?

#1 Wisconsin #2 Notre Dame #3 North Dakota #4 Michigan #5 UNH #6 Minnesota #7 Northeastern quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Despite having never coached at the NCAA Division I level before the 2002-03 season, Eaves and assistants Troy Ward and John Hynes recently put the finishing touches on a 10-member class for 2003-04 that has been anointed the best in the nation by Red Line Report. "Quality and quantity" were the deciding factors that prompted RLR, a respected independent international scouting review, to rank UW ahead of Notre Dame, North Dakota, Michigan, New Hampshire, Minnesota and Northeastern. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I got this off USCHO.com

Hopefully Siembida won't be back next year, Brandt is the only goalie from last year that I'd want back.

That's why I think the Wild have a chance is because Cloutier's numbers are the worst in the NHL in the playoffs.

I wrote this over on USCHO, but I'd like to get input from people that don't view USCHO often. I'm really excited about the freshman class coming in, they have 2 of the best forwards coming into the WCHA in Stafford and Murray and they have one of the top defenseman in Smaby. Stafford was one of the leading scorers for team USA in the U-18 tournament. Smaby is ranked #12 by McKeen's for the top college/hs kids. You have 2 good goalies in Ziggelman and Sedieve. Everyone knows that Stafford, Smaby and Murray are big time recruits, but which others to you think will make an immediate impact and play regularly? Porter Fabian Bina Which goalie do you think will really challange Brandt for the #1 goalie? Ziggelman or Sedieve?
