Anyone know why Cam Johnson signs an AHL deal nearly every summer but always ends up back with Florida in the ECHL? Happened at least 3 different times.

Former UND forward Jonathan Toews is on the brink of re-passing Zach Parise as the program's all-time leading NHL scorer. Parise has 889 NHL regular-season points and is retired. Toews, who is playing for the Winnipeg Jets, has 888 entering Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Wild.

What do people think about Toews ever doing a last shift at UND ? To me it seems like he has shown no love to UND in many years.  Since has brothers experience here was not that great it seems like he wants little to do with the program.  I really want to be wrong

Maybe he didn't like a former coach who's now gone

I have that same feeling. Three Cups and no interest in bringing it to UND.

David Toews played two years at UND; I don't remember exactly his reason for leaving but I think maybe he was encouraged to play for a different program.  I think this is exactly why Jonny has no love for North Dakota hockey.

He got buried a bit on the depth chart at UND (understandably with the forward group in front of him...Gregoire, Kristo, Trupp, CVV, Hextall, Malone, Frattin) and was healthy scratched a few games both his FR and SO seasons.  So Brandon from the WHL lured him away with the promise of more playing time and expanded roles.  He did have a more successful season with them before departing after one season for a less than stellar ECHL career.

I would think Jonny would be able to see the writing on the wall there...that it wasn't anything against David...just that he wasn't as good as the forwards in front of him.
Would hope that the Toews family has no ill-will felt towards UND, especially with how the rest of David's pro career played out.

I'm not sure why a guy that's still in his playing career is being questioned as to why he hasn't done all this stuff for UND.  Wait until his career is over before questioning.

I think a lot of it comes from guys like Matt Greene and Oshie bringing the Cup back to Forks while Toews (to the best of my knowledge) has not.

I don't know what Greene's life situation was like back then, but Oshie may as well have been a Grand Forks resident with his dad living in town.  Much easier for a guy like Osh to bring it to Forks.  Greene also seemed very connected to UND.  Toews did wonderful things with the cup up in Winnipeg with who he shared it with, so it's a bit selfish to think Grand Forks deserved a visit over that.

Towes brought the cup to places most players don't for their day with the Cup. Took it to children's hospital in Chicago is one of the things he did. He has talked to Hak and has interacted with fans in Sioux jerseys positively. I'm going to go with there is no issue and people are making a big deal about nothing. 

The fan base starts to seem entitled when a former player wins the Cup and/or doesn't bring the Cup to Grand Forks.
