Maybe, but I honestly think it's all a part of their development. I think most kids are just in too big of a hurry. I should have expanded on my original post. If Kiersted has a great (but not absolutely dominating) year and he also graduates this Spring....that's a different story. Go to the A and continue to climb that ladder I guess. I just have read about some of the higher end potential UFA college guys and he's not listed (other than discussed by Schloss). Only time will tell I guess.

Yep. Getting (and staying) in the show is so tough. The AHL is a beast. You better be dominating NCAA before leaving early. Too many good players in the minors waiting to get the call up. I really like Kiersted, bit he isn’t dominating yet and he isn’t very old.

Sure. Had a decent season last year. Solid player but until he has a great season I wouldn’t jump. Theres just no reason to rush anymore.

Kiersted leaving???

Odd my bottom bar doesn’t disappear like it used to when going full screen

Never mind pop up blocker was on

I’m having issues with the nchc.tv site, I’m clicking the “play” button and nothing happens

Caulfield has to be hurt.

Agree for the most part. I felt that our forwards lacked offensive creativity to do anything in the o-zone. The strategy was to get in the o-zone, pass it back to the D, and go to the net for a rebound. Every offensive possession. Did we crash the net hard for rebounds? Not really; not with any sort of consistency. That has to improve dramatically, however, I feel the critical issue with last year's team is they turned into robots. The forward grouped never cycled the puck to their F line mates and never had more than two consecutive passes within the F group. So vanilla. This has to change. I fully understand the importance of having mobile/rangy/offensive-minded D-men however we got way too predictable. Everything was to the perimeter.

I'd like the boys to put up some offensive stats this year. We better have more than one player exceed a pt/gm.

me too

Looks like we are somewhat in the mix for Zachary Bolduc (Mark Divver tweet). Many other colleges higher up on the list most likely and he’s also a top Canadian kid so Q most likely.

Agreed, NCAA makes way more sense given his age. You never though, may not be into school.

https://www.langleyrivermen.com/stats/roster/17/40/1?league=1 actually listed on Langley’s roster now.

Well that stinks. Would have been a nice overage skilled forward.

Wow, didn't see this one coming.

Yeah, season needs to start. This convo is close to rock bottom.

Ya i knew about panzer. Someone had told me spicer was trying too. Guess not.

Honeybaked I heard he was going EGF

Jackson Blake having a heck of a 5 Nations tourney so far. He’s tiny but very skilled. I doubt he’ll ever be a bigger guy, however it appears he still has a ton of growing to do. He looks 12 years old and the rest of the guys look 16-18.

That happens at 8 too I’m afraid.

Is section 8 single A tougher than Eastern ND conference? Maybe by a sliver. But there are more teams and the experience and exposure is way better. Also, they are probably playing a Moorhead and few TC teams sprinkled in there. Plus EGF has a solid coach who runs PEP skill work. How many different Fargo teams do you want to play? Again, decision seems easy to me. As I’ve been saying lately, keep ND HS hockey obviously but create a Tier 1 option as well (similar to Sioux Falls power)

In the grand scheme of things, he's still pretty young. I'd be nervous to send a 16 year old away...let alone a 14 year old. This makes sense in my brain.

Agreed, but they should make it and will run into those other teams. Single A MN is a click above ND east, especially considering two cities make up the entire division.

Jeez, I’m in the TC. High quality hockey everywhere. Weather...not so much
