It's interesting to see some of them progress as the season goes along. I'm really interested to see how the current HS forward group does next year in juniors...as all four of them (Pilgrim, Zellers, Schultz, and Simpson) are averaging over 2 pts/gm against HS competition. Could be a very dynamic group incoming in the next couple years. Quote

Heck of a game for him in a 11-4 Force win over the Stampede. Unfortunately, his future UND teammate, Caleb Heil, was in net for 7 of those Force goals (ouch, 10 saves - 7 goals allowed). Panzer also scored a goal for the Stampede in the losing effort. Quote
burd Posted February 10 Posted February 10 It would be fun (and, yes, quite a bit of work) if someone could identify these commits by the former Sioux player that most reminds them of. Some of us have never seen them play or even watched the league they play in, so other than stats and draft status, cannot visualize their play, Occasional vids are nice. Some of us fans are so needy . . . Quote

I would be pretty confident that it’s an error. USHL also has had in the past Jake Schmaltz being Nick and Jordan’s brother and Cody Croal as being committed to Maine. They’re notorious for being inaccurate/not updated. Quote

His Sioux Falls Stampede team page bio still shows UND: https://sfstampede.com/sports/mhockey/roster/caleb-heil/822 Quote

Nevermind, stats page was updated. Now shows that Swanson finished the night with a 3-4-7 line. Dang, heck of a game. That's 10 pts in his last 2 games. Quote

I get the feeling Sioux Falls has got major defensive issues, as the other goalie gave up 5 goals yesterday and another 6 goals tonight on 10 shots before Heil came in and stopped all 13 shots he faced. It really is hard to know how much these goaltenders are responsible for the goals, or just a combination of poor defense and goaltenders losing focus. Quote

A couple UND commits made the top 50 list: Quote 19. Sacha Boisvert, C, Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL) Progression has been part of Boisvert’s story this season. He just keeps getting better and rounds out his game more and more. Boisvert is 6-foot-2, plays a heady two-way game and he can score. He is a good skater who has a fluid, smooth game as a result of his mobility. Boisvert can shoot from anywhere and be dangerous, while also showcasing enough hand skills to make defenders miss and deceive goaltenders. He’s on pace for 40 goals in the USHL, which is a fairly rare figure to hit – especially for a draft-eligible player. Quote 25. E.J. Emery, D, U.S. National Under-18 Team Though Emery has had a tougher season to read based on results, the tools and upside he seems to possess are tantalizing. Emery has a 6-foot-3 frame that he’s still growing into, but moves effortlessly and has some power to him. Defensively, he’s tough to get around and can make good, physical stops thanks to solid gap control and angling ability. Offensively is where his projection is tougher to make. You can see some elements of hand skills and the ability to move pucks up ice, but his numbers have been poor in terms of production. Committed to the University of North Dakota, Emery is one of those players you take in this range and stay patient. He’s growing into his game and the immense athletic tools he has. 1 Quote
Popular Post mygarske Posted February 16 Popular Post Posted February 16 Huge weekend for Zellers at Shattuck. SSM played St. Andrews College, the #1 ranked Prep team in Canada. All 32 NHL teams had a scout in the rink on Friday night. Zellers first goal was a highlight reel, stole puck from both defensemen on the forecheck & scored unassisted. Game went to overtime, Zellers was on ice for all but 1 shift of OT. He bags the GW in OT. Shattuck Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3Jvb3CAcum/?igsh=MTFoZHllajNlaWNhOA== Saturday game, also goes to OT, Zellers with 2 goals & 1 assist. Against serious competition, best in Canada, 5 point weekend for Zellers. Also, over-hyped St. Andrews player Dean Letourneau (6'8" - 209 lb) 1 goal, 1 helper. Zellers clearly the best player on either team for both games. From Shattuck website, Zellers now at 45g 45a in 46 games. 1 8 Quote

brianvf Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Article on Boisvert: https://eprinkside.com/2024/02/08/sacha-boisvert-is-an-ascendant-talent-for-the-2024-nhl-draft Quote Boisvert is going to a great program at North Dakota There is no doubt that they will round out his game, and he’ll have a chance to face top-notch competition. He will be going there as a true freshman, but he’s very mature, and this shouldn’t be a problem. 1 Quote
brianvf Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Comments: Boisvert is now 2nd in the USHL in goals scored, with 30. He's behind only Kaden Shahan, who is listed as committed to UConn on EP, but no commitment listed on his USHL page. Pilgrim is one of the 10 finalists for 2024 MN Mr Hockey award.

CarpeRemote Posted February 26 Posted February 26 This seems the appropriate thread, after the federal injunction yesterday its practically college program malpractice toward its athletes to not embrace every NIL collective conceivable. Embrace it or become a farm team in short order. This is largely a football issue, luckily our fanbase rules hockey so this should actually helps us Quote
siouxczech29 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 This may have been discussed already but I saw that Cade Littler is out for the rest of the regular season with an upper body injury. He has a chance to play in the playoffs for Penticton still but unsure. I wonder if he comes in next year? I believe he has another year of eligibility left. Thoughts? Quote

He needs another year, and given his dad is a juniors coach, he won't have anyone in his ear giving bad advice. 2 1 Quote
