would he be committing to minnesota for this fall or the next?

ill be surprised if ohio state signs gwoz if the reasons in the press release are true, but if they do- who would have predicted THAT heading into the first year of the newly competing nchc/big ten conferences? it would be very interested to see how the next few years play out with recruiting between miami of ohio and ohio state

i think minnesota compensated for the alt loss by deciding to bring in vannelli this year. not positive on that

landing ausmus would be a nice consolation prize for duluth missing out on mccoshen

even though it sounds like minnesota is losing 3 of their top 6 forwards- i dont think scoring ability will suffer as much as some do.. especially 5 on 5 as their 5 on 5 play wasnt great this year. but imo team defense and offensive zone time will suffer (which will in turn affect their scoring totals). they are keeping 5 or 6 of their defensemen- but theyre losing three of their bigger forwards and replacing them with small offensive forwards.

mnhockeyprospects did an article on joey anderson a couple months ago. being that hes made hill murrays roster as an 8th grader im sure lots of colleges are watching

if that statement is true then whoever owns the rights to UND games will air the UND games.

hey

not to be rude- but news flash for gersich- players head hunt in the ushl too. he is going to have to learn to live with it http://wcfcourier.com/mp-black-hawks/image_787b3d5e-57a8-11e2-b123-0019bb2963f4.html

has anyone seen tyler hill? there is a lot of buzz about him..

haha yeah.. youll also want to watch for nathan noel (#18). he is the next high end canadian coming out of shattuck- might be drafted #1 overall in the Q

can you pass along how chase phelps looks? (#14).. ryan norman (#11) is uncommitted as well.. although portland has his rights

on who?

this year?

i think hammy finds out most of his recruiting news based off when a player announces their commitment on twitter. i think over the course of the last year- the only recruit he had news of was hurley in saying that hurley was visiting michigan, notre dame, and miami.. other than that- i cant say in the last year one other instance of hammy saying anything recruiting-related that couldnt already be found on the high school players twitter page

does st cloud have any injuries? seems to me they did early in the year anyhow

for any sioux fans in minneapolis for the weekend- dubay and zulgad are doing their 9-noon show tomorrow at the new buffalo wild wings next to the U of M campus. think doors open at 8am and theyre giving away a couple tickets to tomorrow nights game

scoffing at what the U of M has done for hockey in that state and for the other programs in that state is laughable.

arent north dakota and gopher schedules already set for the next few years? seems like a st. peters pipe dream

hurley did say a while back he wanted to play in the big ten or hockey east. things could change.. but that is what he said a couple months ago

i must have missed some bad calls that went st clouds way. between slashing the st cloud kids stick in half on the PK and knights slash in the 2nd when the ref looked away, i thought north dakota got away with the calls tonight

are you sure you have your timeline right? i talked to joel maturi at a time when UND had still hoped to keep their nickname and during that time he said minnesota was in discussions with boston/notre dame about 4 year agreements.

why would minnesota be afraid of scheduling with north dakota?? i dont understand the perception that north dakota has been a dominant force over minnesota in recent history and have successfully scared minnesota away. the sioux are 3-5 against the gophers the last two years. you can easily counter that by noting that the sioux for several years before that kicked minnesotas butt.. but then you have to go back further and you get to minnesotas OT win in the final five.. and a couple years before that their back to back NC's.. then you can go back further to a couple NC's for north dakota. etc etc. over the course of a rivalry one team will find more success than the other. minnesota has had the edge over north dakota in their matchups the last couple years.. but that has nothing to do with future scheduling.. frankly- minnesotas strength of schedule likely just went up in scheduling BC and notre dame instead of UND and DU the bottom line is none of this would have happened had minnesota not joined the big ten. when that happened- it then also could have been avoided by north dakota giving up their nickname (like everyone knew they would in the end) instead of dragging that on and on. both schools blew it. it is too bad.. the fans lose. the players lose.. but im sure the 2 teams will meet in the ncaas

exactly

i agree minnesota has not been that impressive. but who has been outside of BC and denver? the sioux were a minute away from going 2-2 against all teams alaska
