Freddie got 218 roots before Edina...kid is an absolute stud and a great human with a great family

What i love about that kid is that in a practice he looks like hes a weak skater, weak shooter, off....then at game speed he just jumps off the page and creates

He had a good WJC. Kristo did too.

Blake was not featured...he barely made the team

parise and toews were both dominant at WJC

when is the last time we had a recruit that was top 6 or top 4 at WJC? Sanderson probably...for a forward it probably goes back to Boeser

appreciate the info

the rumors were rampant. As an insider, I am sure he knew exactly what was happening.

been out of NoDak for awhile...what is team ND that competes to play for USA Hockey championships? Who puts that together?

If we are now in the same strata as Jan Brady and Western that is really, really sad.

Ryan Gropp, JT Miller, Tambellini...common denominator? drafted by the Rangers

My Canada friends were not making excuses. They were disgusted with their team's play.

Parise was Blais' prizw recruit and played for him. You are correct they didn't make the frozen four. Should have. toews and oshie both played on Hak frozen four teams

In the 2009 class I think its the 3 kids I mentioned: Schneider, Fitzhenry, and Johnson. These conversations start tomorrow. Lot of Gopher written on these guys, can Berry land one?

hakstol had 6 first rounders on one team...

Parise wasn't a chippa????

TBH, making a run at the Frozen 4 every year, landing at least 3 or 4 chippas every year, but not winning the natty is the definition of power program. I am not calling out Berry or the program, but from a program success perspective, we were much better two decades ago...

Yeah...all Canadian junior leagues not called the CHL and especially the BCHL made a living getting top end kids who wanted to play NCAA

I don't think there will be any issues with the power brokers finding NIL $ for hockey at UND. Word on the street is that so far its been few and far between for life altering money for college hockey (unlike football and hoops)

made me chuckle...it is crazy, but the 2009s can get phone calls tomorrow...2010s will be drafted in WHL in May...

Having a team of 23 year old undrafted grinders with 1 or 2 guys on the NHL board is not a recipe for success...that's the Mankato State model. We need to have a team of chippas in order to get chippas

the 2010 Little Caesars team coached by Ryan Kesler wins everything. There's something to be said for winning. You want players that hate losing and know how to win.

2009 class which they get to talk to next week, regional boys- Freddie Schneider, Nolan Fitzhenry, Easton Johnson are all absolute studs

As i said, I've never seen Schultz, but Pue is an elite goal scorer. Thompson and Nicol are smart, complete 200 foot centers who produce a ton of points. Charbonneau is a beast and is an absolute offensive force. LaSouro is dynamic and shifty and is just a stud athlete. Daley operates almost like a 2nd center in the ozone as a Dman, but he never gets burned...always gets back. Here's the thing with the chippas....you land one, the others pay attention

He's one of the most talented 2010's for sure. He's also a nice kid. Good family. If Berry lands him its a huge get
