USA Hockey Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 USA - have you been to New Hope to watch any games? A couple weeks ago I went - they must have been experimenting with the goals/nets - the colors were reversed. The goal was painted white and the netting inside the goal was red. Anyone else seen this before? No I haven't, I'm way to busy to make it down there for any games. I post about the league on a weekly basis to keep fans updated and if it's coming to their local area, they know about it. Quote
Big A HG Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Michael Parks, who is playing for Cedar Rapids (USHL), has a video interview on the RoughRider website if you want to check it out. Click for Michael Parks Interview Nolan Zajac also plays on the team. He's not a committed recruit, and may not be a recruit at all, but I'll post the link to his as well. Click for Nolan Zajac Interview Cedar Rapids will be playing in Green Bay Tuesday, which is an hour from me, so I might go check these guys out. Sam Alfieri (Shattuck product, who I don't think has committed anywhere...but who I thought was highly sought after), and Anders Lee (of Edina, Notre Dame commit) play for Green Bay, among some other less noticeable D1 college commits. Parks has played well through 5 pre-season games, tallying 4 goals (leads team) and 3 assists (tied for team lead) for 7 total points (leads team). Quote

redwing77 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 So is Matt White but who knows whats going on there. I believe that's the "other" Matt White. The former UND recruit, IIRC, plays/played for Lincoln? Quote
siouxforce19 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 I believe that's the "other" Matt White. The former UND recruit, IIRC, plays/played for Lincoln? It's not the "other" Matt White. It is the former UND recruit. The "other" Matt White plays for Omaha, and the one listed on the list is listed as playing for Des Moines. Quote
Just Curious Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Not an official recruit, I know, I know; but.... Does anyone know if anything happened to Nolan Zajac? After a great preseason, he hasn't played in the last two games for Cedar Rapids. Did he get hurt, traded, cut?? Thanks in advance for any info. Quote

Also, the WHL has only one more "B" ranked player. LOL @ "The Fastest Route to the NHL". Quote

I'm sure that may change during the hs season, but he is putting up some good numbers playing against some of the A/B players listed in the Elite League. Quote

I'm sure that may change during the hs season, but he is putting up some good numbers playing against some of the A/B players listed in the Elite League. I know one of the kids on that elite team that Brock plays on and he said Brock Nelson is one of the better players he has seen play. Amazing was one of the terms used to describe him. Quote

AZSIOUX Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 Brendan O'Donnell named to the Canada West team for the World Junior 'A' Challenge tournament. http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php?ci_id...amp;ss_id=25071 The tournament is Nov 1-8 in Prince Edward Island. per brad Four recruits to play in Junior A Challenge Both the U.S. and Canada have named their rosters for the 2009 World Junior A Challenge, which will take place from Nov. 1-8 in Prince Edward Island. Forwards Mike Parks (Cedar Rapids Roughriders) and Colten St. Clair (Fargo Force) and defenseman Nick Mattson (Indiana Ice) will represent the American squad, while forward Brendan O'Donnell (Winnipeg South Blues) will represent Canada West. St. Clair is the youngest player on the American roster, while Parks is just four months away from being the second-youngest. Mattson won a gold medal with the U.S. in the World Under-18 tournament in April. O'Donnell is the third-youngest player on the Canada West squad. Last year, the Americans (led by MVP Mike Cichy and Danny Kristo) beat Canada West (led by Andrew MacWilliam) for the gold. Quote

stickboy1956 Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 His stock is pretty high. Could be quite a logjam at D next year - I believe Mattson and Forbort will come next year. Genoway is our only senior D. Who sits next year? Quote

Who sits next year? it is going to be a issue and im not sure why they brought in more than 1 even this year. i know sometimes things happen and people leave but this one you could see coming after both forbort and mattson commited with no top nhl d prospects that could leave early. even if one left for some reason its still a issue. i understand you want 1 guy who can step in as a 7th d man but when the 2 freshman that are coming in that have a chance to be a 3 year player then that creates the log jam 10/11 of everyone returns and comes in mattson forbort marto lapoint blood fienhage gleason macwilliam hill Quote

AZSIOUX Posted October 20, 2009 Author Posted October 20, 2009 Gleason is skilled and fast enough to play forward problem solved nice, but still need one more out and i would say fienhage but who knows on him and how it will play out sitting out the first 4 games of the season Quote
siouxforce19 Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 nice, but still need one more out and i would say fienhage but who knows on him and how it will play out sitting out the first 4 games of the season Why would we need one more out? We had 8 D last year after Miller moved to Defense? I don't think Gleason will move to forward, but hypothetically if that happened, we would have 8 d which is what we have this year. This year we brought in one less forward instead. I think they brought in an extra D because this summer we didnt know if LaPoint was going to be ready to go and MacWilliam had shoulder surgery, so we didn't know if he'd be ready either and we needed insurance. It does present problems for next year all around. We have forwards that want to come in and not enough spots, so a few are going to be held back and not enough D spots available on the roster. I'm glad I'm not the one making these decisions. Quote
jk Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I don't disagree with anything said about the potential logjam, but I will say that every year it appears there is a bulge in the pipeline and every year it gets resolved. I have a feeling it will again, and it's just a matter of sitting back and seeing what the roster looks like for the Manitoba series. Quote
stickboy1956 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 New NHL CSS Watch List http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=502848 "Minn. players top Junior A, B, high school list" Forwards Joe Basaraba (Shattuck St. Mary's), Nick Bjugstad (Blaine), Jason Clark (Shattuck St. Mary's), Max Gardiner (Minnetonka) and Brock Nelson (Warroad), along with defenseman Mark Alt (Cretin-Derham) and goalie Zane Gothberg (Thief River Falls) represent Minnesota's "A" players Hak and staff must have seen the same thing the NHL scouts were seeing re: Nelson. Quote
yzerman19 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Forbert and Mattson play immediately. Marto and Lapoint will play, and Blood and McWilliam. That's 6 regular D for sure. Gleason might be a role player, wherever he will fit. Fienhage needs to get ice to prove himself. Quote
