AZSIOUX Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 hf coyotes top 20 prospects 19. (NR) Brett Hextall, C - 6.0C 5'11, 188 pounds 6th round, 159th overall, 2008 April 2, 1988 The son of Ron Hextall, Brett quietly had a very productive freshman season with the University of North Dakota. Hextall plays a simple and direct game and makes plays with his speed. Hextall is a tireless worker and a relentless skater who has quickly developed a reputation as an agitator, who certainly isn't afraid to get hostile when he needs to. However, Hextall also turned heads with his ability to score regularly, as he put up 12 goals on the season and even saw power-play time. It appears Phoenix might have something with last year's sixth-round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farce poobah Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 This is disappointing, but not really a surprise - 3 TV timeouts per period, adding 10 minutes to total game time: http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2009...21_wchaadds.php The astute will use this as an opportunity to get a beverage without missing the action...

Actually I believe this to be a good thing. It seemed that FSN-North needed to take a TV break before each Gopher power play, but seldom before an opponent advantage. With a set schedule of TV TOs the risk for devious and cunning commercial coersion is lessened. As far as length of game, games at UW, UM, and UND already had TV TOs in them. To me it seemed FSSN was taking four per period (16, 12, 8, 4 minute marks). Someone with games on tape from recent seasons could probably verify or refute this. Now having a set and consistent three probably won't have much overall impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the new rule, its a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OETKB Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 INCH A-Z with Marto: http://insidecollegehockey.com/inch/2009/08/23/marto/ Nice article on Marto, which brings me to ponder the experience level of this year's team. Given the starting lineup that I would expect to see nightly, this team rates a 2.2 on the experience scale (1.0 being all freshmen, 4.0 being all seniors), similar to the 2005-6 and 2006-7 teams that both made the Frozen Four. The lowest rating in recent memory was in 2001-2, when UND had a losing record with a 1.9 average. Anytime you dip below 2.0, you are in trouble. So, even though this team is younger than UND has fielded the last few years, they have great offensive talent in the young guys, and they could make some noise this year. Defensively, UND is pretty experienced - I would only expect one freshman to play on a given night, especially in critical games. Those two things combined could make for a very good season.

brianvf Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 good get for BSU next season if so. lee wold have taken over either way so not a bad move for him im guessing I believe he would only have one year of eligibility left with BSU, which seems weird to transfer instead of sign. But if he likes the college game instead of going to play in the ECHL/AHL for the time being, it could be better for him. He just needs to keep up with his studies a bit better...if he fails out of SCSU, I'm not sure he has much hope elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodbuster Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Looking at the size of Fienhage, Blood, and Macwilliam listed on the latest roster, the Sioux are maybe getting back to what they had for defensemen 4-5 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 There has to be an on-campus whisper mill running regarding possible third goalies. So, there has to be a serviceable goalie or two somewhere on campus planning to walk on. Names? * serviceable: played a year or two as a back-up in juniors or won a section title in the MnSHSL.

AZSIOUX Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 per brad Single-game ticket sale reminder Minnesota sent out a release today reminding fans that single-game men's hockey tickets go on sale tomorrow (Wednesday) at 9 a.m. I know most of UND's alumns wind up in the Twin Cities, so this always is a hot ticket (not to mention other factors, like success of the programs and the rivalry). If you're interested in those tickets, go to www.gophersports.com to pick up tickets tomorrow morning. Also, UND's single-game tickets go on sale Sept. 12 at 10 a.m., so you still have some time there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about former area goaltenders? No, I haven't received hockey (or football) season tickets yet, nor have I received a former area goalie in the mail either. And I hope the latter doesn't come COD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
