GeauxSioux Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 An article published in this morining's Raleigh News and Observer on Charlie Pelnik: http://www.newsobserver.com/2011/01/11/912384/cary-teen-making-mark-in-hockey.html He was awarded a full scholarship from UND, is only 15, and born and raised in the Raleigh area. Thanks for the link. Pelnik seems quite impressed with UND.... "It's just an awesome place for hockey," Pelnik said. "North Dakota hockey is sort of like the Duke or UNC of basketball." "When you think about the players who have gone to North Dakota, it's sort of intimidating in a way," Pelnik said. "We've gone up there [Grand Forks] twice to visit the campus. The hockey atmosphere there just blows you away." The kind of stuff I love hearing about my alma mater. Quote

MissSioux85 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Last night the Fargo Force beat Sioux City 3-1 behind 2 goals by Colten St. Clair and a 19-save performance by Zane Gothberg. The Force are currently tied for first in the Western Conference. Quote

tho0505 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 per brad bob mckenzie has his top nhl draft top 60 and hm list out. mid season rankings. list 28. J.T. Miller 31. Rocco Grimaldi 65. Dillon Simpson By the way Simpson is playing and growing this year, I'm surprised that he's not higher. I mean Forbort went top 15 and really isn't seeing much time on the PP, where as Simpson is getting a lot more chances there. Either way, i could careless when they get drafted, I'd prefer 2-3rd rounders so we see them for 3-4 years. Quote

Either way, i could careless when they get drafted, I'd prefer 2-3rd rounders so we see them for 3-4 years. i know you arent knocking him but being the 64th ranked best player in the world for that age group isnt that bad. i see that only improving by draft day! simpson was rated higher a year or two ago and yes since his ice time has gone up twice as much he is rising back up. if it keeps up i see him as a 2nd rounder and grimaldi and miller 1st rounders. i guess we will see. if anything all 3 should be drafted in the first 2 rounds whereever they go. what i noticed about simpson last weekend is his ability to make the simple pass out of the zone and also he made some very poised plays on the pp as he saw lots of 2nd unit time. he made mistakes but lets remember he doesnt turn 18 until next month. go find me another 17 yr old on the 2nd pp unit on a #2 national ranked team. very impressive from what we saw early. from the sounds, the duo of grimaldi and miller sound like the real deal Quote
dagies Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Don't forget Forbort had mono. That has ruined the season of more than 1 young player. Quote

Higher league and tougher competition will do that. Certainly 64th ranked isn't too shabby at all, I was just surprised to not see him creeping into the top 30 and we may see that. My predictions is he'll go mid 2nd round, no lower. Man, we got some great recruits coming in. But more importantly, with the integrity that Rocco sounds like he has, it will be a treat and great benefit to have him on our team. Quote

Goes to show how US hockey development is booming. i just corrected one mistake i had with miller. hes ohio not penn and yes how it is changing. arizona's youth hockey has grown so much along with california ect....untraditional hockey hot beds are producing big time wcha talent. when i moved there when i was 10 in 1991 there maybe were a few rinks that you could get icetime in. i believe du, cc and und will all have arizona players in the next 2 years and there could be more overlooked Quote

WOW, is it different in the USHL. They take their helmets off, move their pads, take their time, then fight. Compare that to NCAA hockey, where the refs would have jumped on you far before that. It must be hard for guys who are used to that to come to college hockey. Quote

tnt Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 They also let them go at the Little Caesar's tournament at the Ralph. I would think the NCAA would butt their noses into that somehow and make it even harder to win recruiting wars with Major Junior. Quote

It was certainly weird seeing a fight this weekend, as I was at a WHL game. I also love the name PANZARella, sounds extremely familiar....! Quote
MissSioux85 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Sioux get defenseman with mean streak - GF Herald Panzarella, a defenseman who committed to UND late last week, has made a name for himself in the United States Hockey League as a tough, character player. He will bring that game to Grand Forks beginning next fall. 1 Quote
burd Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Sioux get defenseman with mean streak - GF Herald A defenseman who plays simple, won't wow, and only defends "pretty well?" Sounds a little like a blind date with an interesting personality. Quote
Blackheart Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 A defenseman who plays simple, won't wow, and only defends "pretty well?" Sounds a little like a blind date with an interesting personality. After watching the links of his fights, I'm guessing he has a SUPER personality. Quote
Stack Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I started thinking about next year and the players coming in. With four senior forwards (Frattin, Trupp, Malone, Davidson) and three senior defensemen (Marto LaPoint, Genoway) gone for sure, it seems a little strange that we only have one defenseman coming in. Let me know if I'm missing something but what I see coming in next year is: Nick Mattson (D), Mark MacMillan (F), Michael Parks (F), Rocco Grimaldi (F), JT Miller (F), Colton St Clair (F), Brendan O'Dponnel (F). If things stay where they are today and noone leaves early that leaves us with Defensemen: MacWilliam, Forbort, Blood, Simpson, Gleason, Mattson, Hill. So only 7 defensemen with Hill never really playing and Gleason hardly playing D this year. Forwards: Lamoureux, Gregoire, Hextall, Kristo, Knight, Rowney, Rodwell, Nelson, Cichy, Bruneteau, Dickin, MacMillan, Parks, Grimaldi, Miller, St Clair, and O'Donnell. So 17 forwards. Man that's a lot of forwards. Goalies: Dell, Eidsness, Maris (I'm assuming they leave Gotheberg play another year in the USHL. So that leaves us with a 27 man roster. Am I missing an incoming defensemen or is Gleason expected to play regularly and somehow Hill has developed into a reliable backup without ever playing a game? I'm actually fine with Gleason playing everyday. He performed well last year but I think we need one more defensemen on this team. And looking at the forwards man are there a lot of good players going to be sitting every game unless some leave due to not getting the playing time they'd hoped for. Thoughts? Well they picked up Panzarella so they have at least one more defenseman coming in. USHL though not BCHL or AHL. I'm guessing we might even sign one more unless Hill is progressing. Quote

However, there is a list of players whose numbers are unknown. Quote
