His name is Kyle Radke. He has played with the Storm the last two years. He was an all-star last year. He had fly-ins to Alaska-Fairbanks, Western Michigan, Nebraska and Minnesota, but chose UND. He should fit in very well with the NCAA game. A former Storm player who NCAA fans may recognize from last year is Grant Stevenson, who was one of the top scorers in the NCAA playing with Minnesota Mankato. Grant recently signed with the San Jose Sharks.

A recruit on the way in 04-05 is a defenceman who is playing for the Grande Prairie Storm in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. He will probably be the Most Valuable Defenceman in the league in 03-04. Grande Prairie is hosting the Canadian Junior A championship next year. He had 17 goals and 48 assists and 118 penalty minutes last year. Great skater and a great shot.
