Blackheart Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Anybody ever heard of a guy named Murray Strall? Strale? Sorry, I can't read the last name on the document I have with his name on it. He was a player from Canada; possibly from the Winnipeg area, who was recruited to play at the University of North Dakota at the same time as James Patrick and Gord Sherven. It would have been late seventies, early eighties...If Gino Gasparini is reading this, I'm sure he could tell me... He did not end up playing for the Sioux due to some unfortunate circumstances, but I was just wondering if anyone remembers this guy...sorry, I wish I could make out the last name a little better...

82SiouxGuy Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I was in school during that time period but I don't remember any name close to that. Sorry I can't help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought possibly he played for the Notre Dame Hounds of the SJHL since Sherven, Patrick, and several other Sioux and other future college players played at Wilcox during that era. Tough to find rosters, however, from that far back. There's a void in info during the Hounds early 80's years, since they left the SJHL in 1976 and played AAA midget until 1987. There are, however, team photos up in the Wilcox barn during those years featuring many future Sioux and their AAA midget championships, as well as players that went on to play at other colleges, and the NHL (Curtis Joseph and Wendel Clark, for instance). I'd guess Eades may also know the answer to you question, since he was part of both Sioux championships during those years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 What document do you have? What was the unfortunate circumstance? Long story short, he was recruited to play for UND...during a recruiting visit, after a night of fun, he drew the short straw and ended up behind the wheel to get everyone home...pulled over by the cops, bye-bye scholarship...

Blackheart Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 UGH...... Yeah, as he was telling the story 30 years after the unfortunate event, his face lost all expression and he looked like he was going to break down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
