Goon Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 CHAY FOR HOBEY....AS A FORWARD! I was wondering why he hasn't played more forward as offensively dynamic as he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I was wondering why he hasn't played more forward as offensively dynamic as he is. because you dont switch position in hockey as you know unless needed like brad miller and he has been a d man for the sioux except for a few instances his first couple seasons because it was needed chay could be a dynamic forward as well but his skating ability is really magnified as he gets to bring the puck coast to coast as a d man im very happy chay stayed, i cant wait to see this incoming class. hell i would skip may-october every year if i could to have hockey start again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I was wondering why he hasn't played more forward as offensively dynamic as he is. With our huge need for defensemen he's been needed back there. I don't know why he doesn't try Davidson back there. A defenseman with forward skills who is more apt to stay at home and play defense is what we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone noticed, the more aggressive Chay got this season, the worse our team played. When he starts trying to do too much, it hinders us. We have five players on the ice and with good passing and using our forwards we can get the puck into the opposing zone just fine. It's not like we couldn't score unless Chay was out there thinking he's the second coming of Wayne Gretzky or something. Imagine if Chay was a forward. He could have the puck passed to him (a nice concept) and then he can carry it into the zone. Then, when he turns it over, we still have two defensemen in position to cover his mistakes unlike the last two seasons when we only had Joe back there.

nodak hockey fanatic Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 CHAY FOR HOBEY....AS A FORWARD! he was a forward up until his midget days, and was a good player, not a game changer according to his coaches who talked him into trying the switch. he is now one of the most dynamic offensive dmen in college hockey. im not going to get into a what he brings vs. what he lacks argument, but he wasn't the wcha dman of the year for nothing... great to have him back for his last season as a sioux!!

stickboy1956 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Remember everyone - he was recruited as a F/D and played his first 13 games for the Sioux as a F. He gets it done as a D (conf D of the year) but he doesn't have the D instincts a player like Taylor Chorney had/has. It will be good to have him back - he will need a D partner that will back him up when he goes on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportsDoc Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Stop and think for just a minute ... which opposing defensemen give their opponents the biggest fits? Even though they have (had) defensive liabilities, that list is of College Hockey's best offensive defensemen. For example: Matt Carle. Chay Genoway. Jamie McBain. Patrick Wiercioch. Jack Johnson. Those kinds of players can beat you from defense. If they were forwards, they would actually be less dangerous. Players that can play defense and still have the skill set and vision to take over a game, offensively, are rare and extremely valuable. You don't move them up front.

I am hoping that with the crop of d players coming in this issue can be resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summy1977 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I haven't seen him play too much in Des Moines but when Gleason was with Edina his style of play certainly resembled Chay's. It will be nice to have Chay there to mentor him and give him guidance on how best to use his speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
