jjensen Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Apparently this guy will be here this fall. Teammate of Tomek. 49 points in 58 games and team captain. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=136277http://myemail.constantcontact.com/ROADRUNNERS-CAPTAIN-HEADED-TO-NORTH-DAKOTA.html?soid=1116329745654&aid=QrG_LHPs5g4 Quote
brianvf Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Interesting. A replacement for a potential departure that we didn't anticipate? Quote
cberkas Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Interesting. A replacement for a potential departure that we didn't anticipate? Sanderson or Murphy transferring maybe? I'm sure the coaches are still trying for Matthews and Tkachuk. Quote

Someone must be leaving. Quote

gfhockey Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Bet schloss gets his info from us He must have quit massaging hajdu as he didn't get the info 2 3 Quote
Goon Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Sounds like a practice squad guy. Someone must be leaving. Or maybe a role player like Lammy, Pattyn and Gaarder. Quote
Goon Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Bet schloss gets his info from us He must have quit massaging hajdu as he didn't get the info Wow! Is that how you think it works? Quote
scpa0305 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Or maybe a role player like Lammy, Pattyn and Gaarder. Maybe, but remember gaarder was literally a last second replacement and only initially got in due to the mounting injuries that year; he obviously made the most out of his opportunities. Mario came from the ushl and also had family ties. You're right about Pattyn. Quote
fsioux Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Interesting. A replacement for a potential departure that we didn't anticipate? Either that or somebody else they expected to come in has changed his mind. Quote
Goon Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 From the article -- The Irwin, PA native had an agreement to play hockey for the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs but during the admission process, it was mutually agreed that there might be a more suitable fit and he has agreed to head north to Grand Forks, ND. RoadRunner Head Coach / GM Scott Langer praised the staff at Air Force. "They run a top shelf operation and truly care about what's best for the student-athlete", Langer said. "Helping Mike (Gornall) adjust his collegiate path is evidence of what a class act they are." Gornall finished 2nd on his team in scoring in 2014-15 and was voted the recipient of the team's "Hally Hat" award, named in honor of the late Peter Halash and given to the player who best displays a solid work ethic day in and day out. He will join current RoadRunner teammate Matej Tomek who will also attend UND in the fall. Quote
siouxfan512 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Interesting. A replacement for a potential departure that we didn't anticipate? Who knows, maybe this guy will really add to the team. Gaarder was a late pickup when JT Miller jumped. Would be nice to get a grinder like that, who could stay for 4 years. Not that I have read or know anything about this kid. Quote
Goon Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Maybe, but remember gaarder was literally a last second replacement and only initially got in due to the mounting injuries that year; he obviously made the most out of his opportunities. Mario came from the ushl and also had family ties. You're right about Pattyn. For sure... I would love to see someone like Gaarder in the lineup in the near future. Loved watching that kid play. Hakstol referred to him as: "he's like a dog on a bone." He never gave up he was relentless. Quote

Hakstol referred to him as: "he's like a dog on a bone." He never gave up he was relentless.Agreed I liked gaarders role, I was just saying he got his opportunity to get in the lineup earlier than most NA kids. By practice squad I wasn't trying to knock him I just think it is such a tough jump from the NA to nchc hockey that first year. Your right though, it's nice to have hard working over agers play a bottom six role. I definitely think these kids are valuable in the junior senior years if they develope. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 If this is backfill for a low-minutes guy, I guess I'm wondering if Sanderson is leaving. Then again, are we sure the article is right and he's a 2015 guy? Quote

The Sicatoka Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Uh-oh ... just did some digging. Gornall is now the oldest forward in the recruiting pipeline (older than Janatuinen). That tells me he is coming in this fall. I was pretty sure that the five just departed seniors would be replaced by Janatuinen, Gardner, Gersich, WIlkie, and Boeser. With what looks like a sure sixth forward coming in ... either a low minutes guy is leaving ... or < gulp > Caggiula. Quote
prn80 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Maybe UND was holding out a final roster spot for Matthews and were given an indication he has decided to go another route? Quote
cberkas Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Maybe UND was holding out a final roster spot for Matthews and were given an indication he has decided to go another route? He and others on the U18 WJC team have said they will make their decisions after the U18 WJC. Quote
stoneySIOUX Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 You guys seem to quickly forget season like 2011-12. Remember all those injuries?? This seems like a depth move. Good leader type player. Seems like a Pattyn, Gaarder replacement to me. 1 Quote
