But here's the thing.  He comes to UND and he has two other first rounders welcoming him to the family but telling him he needs to work on his backcheck. 

 

While I left after the 1st period break power outage, he was playing the full 200 ft in the 1st. No doubt he will get better playing for Sioux, but he is  very good now.

So how did Jost look?

Better than expected, which is weird to say as he's expected to be really good. He was an animal. I thought he and Clayton Keller were the two best players I've seen so far. Jost is also already playing that 200 ft game that the CBS line prides themselves on

[fargosioux]

Hoping to make it to the Ralph to watch Jost and team USA.  I have to imagine there's a good chance of a USA-Canada matchup sometime next week?

Predator scout next to me, "Jost will be the next Jonathan Toews"

Holy..........

Jost had at least one time tonight were he just held the puck out and skated around in the offensive zone. He setup 1 goal and setup a lot of chances. IMO was the best skater on the ice for Canada as he was the catalyst for a lot of good things tonight.

The predator's scout is from Trail BC, and coached both Dane Jackson and Travis Roche in youth hockey

So you're saying he doesn't know anything about hockey?

Jost is amazing. I don't think we will be having his services for long.

Agreed. Hopefully we can get 2 years.

I get really excited thinking about a line with Jost/Schmaltz/Boeser next year.

IDK, but he's pretty talented and I would call him a play maker. I think he's a thicker version of Nick Schmaltz.

Champions Club members can pick up free tickets at the Ralph to see Jost and Canada vs. Slovakia tonight.

Jost said: "Nothing against the CHL or anything, that's a great league, but when I came and visited North Dakota when I was 14 or 15 years old, I was blown away. Right away, I was like a kid in a candy shop. I was calling my mom saying I'm ready to commit right now. They were trying to settle me down and say that I have to wait a little bit. I always knew in the back of my mind that I wanted to be a Fighting Sioux one day.

"Look at the facilities and the coaches. It's just such a world-class program. Their alumni are amazing. There's so many things this program has going for it. I'm so humbled and proud to be part of it."

I may be falling in love with Jost.

My only complaint of him so far is that he couldn't convince his buddy Fabbro into joining him at UND instead of going to BU.

I was crying to the predator scout about that.  He said Fabbro has to be in a big city,  would not be comfortable if he wasn't. 

Guess we should be happy he didn't stay in the Rockies and pick Denver

So is Christian Cakebread officially no longer a recruit?

I see Heisenberg's site doesn't have him listed as committed to UND anymore. Not surprising if true.

According to Kelly Friesen UND just landed Harrison Blaisdell

Good get, hopefully not a MJ positioning ploy. Traditionally Sioux territory. 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

Speaking of MJ, the same guy who broke the news had a tweet in his timeline about club hockey voting to allow MJ players soon.  That could change the level of play really fast.  It could also bankrupt the CHL once players start taking the academic package to attend UCSB and other party schools paying out of state with the CHL's money to play club hockey.
