Wasn't he the guy that ran our goalie (Cam Johnson)?  Not sure if he even got penalized.

Thanks.  Not sure why that sticks out in my mind, but I remember that I hit high C when it happened.

High C 
or
Etch-Eye See (Hi-C) <- the drink ...

Let's see who remembers that reference ...

Joey Abate from UNO might still be one of the worst the NCHC has seen. He wasn’t even good, he was just cheap and a hack. 

The funny part, he's part of the Boston Bruins minor league system. He was just resigned by the Providence Bruins.

Quote

In 132 career American Hockey League games all with Providence, the 26-year-old 14-17-31 numbers and 265 penalty minutes. Abate is a buzzsaw out on the ice for the Bruins who has a high motor and strong forecheck and an eagerness to get under an opponents skin. Next season there will be a decent amount of grit on the Providence Bruins team with the re-signing of Abate and veteran forward Jeffery Viel who’s entering his last year of a two-year deal.

 I remember a Denver player hitting a high C when he took a face off against Prpich back in the day. Cup check anyone?

Yeah, he earned that one.  Matt Greene with the follow up once they were both in camp with Edmonton.

I was at that game! The Gwoz was standing up on the dasher, his usual spot, absolutely livid! I loved it-a little street justice.

I was there also and remember it well

The irony isn’t lost on me that I can’t stand DU while watching them play UND but I respect the hell out of their last four coaches-Frank Serratore, Gwoz, Monte, and Carle. They’re definitely ambassadors of the game. 

[The Sicatoka]

Like and respect are not the same.

I know he’s no longer a commit but Cole Bumgarner is going back to Rogers high school this year. How odd is that??

Considering he'd been on 3 HS teams in the previous 3 years before a year with the Fargo Force, not the most surprising thing. Volatility is just common with his situation, the GPLers brought it up on their forum last year prior to August 1. Might be a "Coach Dad" situation going on there.

Yeah I get it. He could have made a junior team in a bunch of different leagues. Guessing there are off ice issues here after last year.

Seems like a solid get, lead EDM in pt/gm from the point. Undrafted kid that may go in his final year of eligibility with a big year (EDM should be good this year). Sounds like he defends hard. Will most likely play 4 years at UND assuming he pans out.

MacKenzie is expected to come to campus in 2026. MacKenzie also had interest from Arizona State, Omaha and Colorado College. He visited UND last week.

"It was unbelievable," MacKenzie said. "I knew coming in kind of what to expect because I watched the (Spittin' Chiclets) YouTube video and talked with my coaches. But being there and seeing the facilities and the town, it blew my expectations out of the water. It was a pretty unreal experience."

Quote

He only made one NCAA visit — to Grand Forks and UND.

"I like the small-town feel and that the hockey team and school is the main focus of it," MacKenzie said. "All my family is from a small town. I liked being there. It's a tight-knit community and I liked the feeling of that."
