WCHA, College Hockey is underway


AZSIOUX

Recommended Posts

I haven't had much time to think about the season before tonight, so here are my picks for the WCHA,

1. Colorado College

2. Denver

3. North Dakota

4. Minnesota

5. Minnesota State

6. Wisconsin

7. St. Cloud State

8. Minnesota Duluth

9. Michigan Tech

10. Alaska Anchorage

i like these overall. i believe the top 4 will be correct in some order then the rest. not sure on minnesota as much as du, cc or the sioux. their talented freshman lately havent came in and lit it up and they will need a couple to do so to grab that 4th spot.

brad mentions the hockey preview is on the stands, sounds like a hell of a job they did. there isnt another school in the country that probably did something to this depth. great to see hem do this!

if you dont have family or friends in g forks to get you one brad mentions this info

If you don't live in the area and you want a copy, call 1-800-477-6572 or e-mail gfhsubsc@gfherald.com. It's going to be pretty cheap. Probably half of the price of a beer at the Ralph. And it will take you more than one period to read it.

I think if the freshmen perform about average it should be good enough for the 4th spot. If Schroeder/Ness/Hansen/etc. have big seasons at all there's definitely enough talent to compete with anyone.

pre season all americans

CNH

http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2008/10/04_2008-09.php

DUNCAN a player to watch

INCH

http://www.insidecollegehockey.com/7Archiv.../preaa_0702.htm

DUNCAN on 3rd team

EIDSNESS listed as goalie on all rookie team

I love how INCH gives Minnesota the Top forward and top defense recruit and says our freshmen our going to struggle. And how they rank the Sioux 7th in the WCHA. What a joke.

USCHO WCHA preview

http://www.uscho.com/news/college-hockey/i...sonPreview.html

North Dakota

Head coach: Dave Hakstol

2007-08 record: 28-11-4 overall, 18-7-3 WCHA (39 points, second of 10 teams)

Key returners: Ryan Duncan, F; Joe Finley, D; Chris VandeVelde, F

Newcomers to watch: Brad Eidsness, G; Jason Gregoire, F; David Toews, F

Key losses: Robbie Bina, D; Jean-Philippe Lamoureux, G; T.J. Oshie, F

2008-09 predicted finish: Third

Bottom line: Hakstol will have this team in the mix near the end, iffy goalie situation or not.
