Absolutely.

I obviously understand that. But I am from that area so it seems funny to me. As you are most likely not from there I understand your point of view as well. This is simply my point of view.

http://www.smargon.net/nicknames/ Is this right?

Really, I shouldn't have stated that as fact as I was listening to an open conversation between some people and there was 2-3 direct schools mentioned. I should have remembered them.

I like the North Star name a little bit. Yes, it is MN's motto but no one truly pays attention to that (may some old timers ) It is a pretty cool nickname that is currently not used. I know some other GF people are warming up to it however North Dakota is still a strong first. In full disclosure, I do not like the RR idea as our local high school has had that for a long time now, however, if that was chosen it wouldn't be the end of the world for me. I just like ND and NS slightly more.

Not true...I believe there are three other schools with no formal nickname.

Exactly

Couldn't hold back could you?

1. North Dakota 2. North Stars 3. Green Hawks (not sure about this one, maybe Spirit, but that seems to be a full out copy of the Wild. Although many of those nicknames are simply copying from another team. Especially Rough Riders). Edit: cavalry is growing on me. At least it's somewhat unique.

I think you're talking about Jordy B.? He signed to play for some Dub team next year I believe.

1st

Flyers. Leafs.

Yeah, you're completely delusional. Also, back in those days the cap was nothing like it is today. I would say these Hawks are as close as you're going to get to a dynasty in this day and age.

The only person having him top ten (that I have seen) is Button. Recently, I have actually seen him outside the top 32 more often than not

This is the first thing I thought about. Both Shaw and Wolanin are very good and they will be battling for that 6th spot. I've seen it go both ways, either the kid's dad plays him when he shouldn't have won the spot, or the dad is too hard on the kid and the kid sits only due to the perceived perception that could arise. Either way, it's good Berry is there to make the final call on everything. He knows that side of the ice pretty well

1 maybe two years.

? He was much more than a high school coach.

The guy that ran it passed.

KT would be a starter regardless.

Yeah, that's a button mistake everyone else has him higher. On a side note it's nice to see jost and fabbro staying in penticton. Maybe there's still a chance. I also see that jordy bellerive signed, makes sense though.

Wow is right.

Haha that's a good one.

This is getting pretty ugly.

Never.

We get top notch kids because it is their dream to play in the NHL....UND has that reputation of developing kids. Now it's been awhile but we still have that reputation. Jordan is a very skilled kid that stayed around 3 years, that's all you can ask. We have very good freshman coming in and some juniors who need to see time on the PP to continue to develop. It was Schmaltz's time to move to the next level. Next man up. In saying that, if KT left I would be more than shocked.
