Michael Forney

[tnt]

Let's hope it turns out well like Jeff McLean and Kevin McKinnon who left and came back as great college hockey players.

I wouldn't expect him back. He's been weak all his career. I remember back in H.S. he'd always be laying on the ice. bit panzy imho, not that anyone cares about my opinion lol

Make sure you aren't confusing him with Robbie "watch this 2.5 with a full twist" Earl!!

Be careful what you say Gopher Fan he could be a Gopher in two years

Forney will not be back with the Sioux after the USHL

I heard that Oshie isn't coming back to the Sioux either after his year in the NHL.

[Esoxpirate]

So what would happen if there happened to be injury to this year team. Could he joing in hte middle of the season?

Have you heard anything about Sidney Crosby?

What about Eddie Belfour? Doesn't he have 3 years of eligibility left?

Sorry, i'm not trying to start anything, but being from warroad, i saw him layin on the ice quite a bit in that marathon Section Finals that TRF ended up winning, (the year he hurt his shoulder the next week in the state tournament.) That whole year i read (minnhock) that supported these claims as well. when he was healthy he was a stand out player, but his biggest knock was his ability to stay healthy.

I saw him about a week ago still wearing his Sioux hockey gear. I wouldn't be surprised to see him back with UND after Green Bay. I think he's a great talent that just needs to regain that confidence after some substantial injuries. He will dominate the USHL.

I talked to Michael last week and he is looking for a fresh start and will not return to UND

[Sioux_Yeah_Yeah]

Ok so go figure that I'm getting confused.... So if Forns goes to another college after playing in Green Bay, would he still only have 2 years of eligibility left? Or is that only if he comes back to UND?

He will have 2 years of eligibility left regardless of what college he chooses to attend.

Ok then, that answers that.

I always wanted to see him at his best, too bad it won't happen with a Sioux uni.

[Just Curious]

A year is a long time, Forney may change his mind (which ever direction its leaning now) by then. With his history of injuries, I don't think alot of schools are going to come calling too quickly. He will need a good year (stats and injury wise) for schools to start looking at him seriously. He also has those 2 years of eligibility against him as well, some schools will be hesitant to offer him a scholarship when they know he will only be available for 2 years. Personally, I would love to see him come back after his stint in the USHL, I don't know if it will happen, but until I hear he has committed elsewhere, I will keep my hopes up. I wish him the best of luck with what ever he decides.

I just wish we hadn't 'Beaversoned' Forney.

I hope to see Forney back, but if he has a good year in the USHL I doubt too many programs will shy away from him because he only can give them 2 years. He will already have had a couple years in a D1 program to understand what its all about, and will finally have his skates underneath them, likely ready to show the offensive talent that made him a highly recruited forward. I would bet there will be a number of teams that show interest if he has the type of USHL year he is capable of.
