The Sicatoka Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 They can move to Moorhead and then leave him alone untill he finishes school. Wouldn't be surprised at all to find out Morinville and Johnson have chatted. No further comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejm Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 You're not suggesting the Moorhead coach actively recruits players, are you? Next thing you'll be telling us is that a player on the Spud roster actually lives in Fargo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA Hockey Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The USA Hockey Select 17s gets underway this week. Michael Parks will be the Sioux's lone representative. I think Derek Forbort was originally invited after the Minnesota Advanced 17s, but because he is going to the NTDP he probably didn't want to participate.

AZSIOUX Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 HF devils draft review devils Derek Rodwell, LW -- Okotoks (AJHL) 5th pick, 5th round, 144th overall The Devils went off the board with their pick in the fifth round, selecting Rodwell out the Alberta Junior Hockey League's Okotoks Oilers. The 6'1, 190 lb left winger just completed his second year with the Oilers and improved his totals across the board, scoring 17 goals,12 assists and 69 PIM's in 41 games. Had he not missed time this season due to injury, his numbers likely would have been even better, as he spent most of the season playing on the Oilers second line. Rodwell is the type of player who often seems to be in the right spot at just the right time. He's not afraid to crash the net to pounce on loose pucks and rebounds, while creating havoc for opposing goaltenders. He enjoys the physical aspect of the game, but sometimes plays a little too reckless, something that he will learn to curb as he matures as a player. He is an above average skater who has good hands and also excels killing penalties. As he grows into his body and fills out his frame, Rodwell has the potential to emerge into a mid-tier power forward down the road. With his solid skating ability and fearlessness driving to the net, those are traits that should continue to serve him well in his final season with Okotoks. He has committed to the University of North Dakota for the 2010-11 season, a place that has been kind to the Devils in past drafts. A project type of pick, the Devils will need a few seasons before they really know what they are getting in Rodwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadR Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Nick Mattson is not on the Youngstown Phatoms 25 man roster, meaning he must be a USHL free agent.. Anybody have any insight as to what the deal is? It wouldnt be because he didnt make the team, at least i hope not. http://www.wfmj.com/Global/story.asp?S=10531382 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZSIOUX Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 HF florida draft review Corban Knight, C 5th Round, 135th Overall The Panthers selected Knight with their first of two fifth-round picks. Knight spent the 2008-09 season as a member of the Okotoks Oilers of the AJHL. He was one of six players from the league to be taken in 2009. With 34 goals and 38 assists, Knight led all league rookies in scoring by a considerable margin. League-wide, his 72 points were good enough to place him in a tie for eighth overall. A late bloomer, Knight is a good skater who will have another year of play in the AJHL to work on his strength and polish his offensive skills further. He has signed a letter of intent with the University of North Dakota for the 2010-11 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes more sense for a team of 16-17 year olds to play in the USHL, since the NAHL is a tier 2 league of 19-20-21 year olds. The 18U team is still playing the d1 and international schedule with select dates of USHL games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 18U team is still playing the d1 and international schedule with select dates of USHL games. This is from the USHL site The USNTDP, USA Hockey's Ann Arbor-based program of 46 select 17 and 18-year-olds, will field "Team USA" with a varying roster based upon the program's international and collegiate schedule. I took that to mean that one of the two teams or a combination of players from both teams will play the USHL games. It sounded like it could be a different team of players every time you see them in the USHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA Hockey Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Mike Parks was invited to play in the All-Star game at the Select Festival, which took place yesterday.

USA Hockey Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 To note that link, his 5 points put him at 40th of all the players at the camp. The points are not necessarily reflective of player ability since these teams are randomly assembled. It's hard to judge how good a player did unless you were there. He was in the all star game, so he was one of the top players in that regard. I guess the ultimate judgement will be if he makes the team that goes overseas.

USA Hockey Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 It's a ways off, but it is summer, the NHL came out with a 2010 Draft Watch List with a few of our guys on here.
