collegehockeywatcher Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Why did Caggiula start the year in the USHL with Des Moines then return to Stouffville of OJHL? Quote
UND99 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 New Sioux recruit, Chris Wilkie of Omaha AAA U16 Lancers, the same team as Minot's Alex Schoenborn and Williston's Austin Hingtgen: Press Release Profile Page Quote
NDHockey Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 This kid's dad played in the WHL and this kid has been drafted in the WHL in the 4th round. Allow me to remain a little uneasy about this commit given our recent luck with similar cases. Quote

Just hard to know that it will be at the very least three years but likely more, before we see him. A lot will change between now and then. Kind of surprised that Dean Blais wasn't after this guy being he is in Omaha. Quote
Siouxhockey78 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I don't like the WHL thing already in the picture Quote

Kind of surprised that Dean Blais wasn't after this guy being he is in Omaha. It may be the reason that Blais was so adamant in rebuffing the story in the Herald about his words at the Sioux booster that he would only be in Omaha four years tops. The administration for recruiting purposes probably told him that he can't pin down something like that. Quote

Their site doesn't show him as playing a game with them since mid-Dec, although I believe he is currently overseas for an intl tourney. He was returned to his midget team. He played those 11 games so the Gamblers could retain his rights. I assume he'll be there full time next season. Quote
GFG Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 It's being reported that Luke Voltin has been released from the NTDP's U-17 team because of a violation of team rules Quote
as15 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 It's being reported that Luke Voltin has been released from the NTDP's U-17 team because of a violation of team rules I give him 48 hours until he jumps to the WHL. Quote
GFG Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I give him 48 hours until he jumps to the WHL. That's what I was wondering. What's he going to do now? Quote
siouxforce19 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 That's what I was wondering. What's he going to do now? His rights are protected by Portland. Can he even still go to the WHL this season? Is there a deadline for signing players? I know the trade deadline passed, so I'm not sure. I hope he still comes to UND, because it just seems like he genuinely wants to be here, but with his situation, going elsewhere wouldn't surprise me at all. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 could he go USHL instead?? this is getting rough if not Quote
gfhockey Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Schloss tweeted hes going to ushl then prolly whl next year Quote

I hope he still comes to UND, because it just seems like he genuinely wants to be here, but with his situation, going elsewhere wouldn't surprise me at all. I'd probably expect him to go to the USHL for the remainder of this year and then he'll decide after that. Maybe he'll stay there, maybe he won't. Quote
as15 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 At least if he decides to go the Major Junior route this summer, the coaching staff will still have over a full year to try and fill his spot for 2013. Quote
DAR Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 This is becoming such a joke....why don't some of the Goofer recruits leave for major junior? You cannot replace these top end recruits no matter if you have a year or not. I predict Grimaldi will not be in a Sioux jersey next year either Quote

You cannot replace these top end recruits no matter if you have a year or not. I predict Grimaldi will not be in a Sioux jersey next year either Gopher recruits don't go major junior because 95% of them are from Minnesota, land of 5 D1 hockey programs. They grew up surrounded by college hockey and it's what they want to do. Very few Minnesotans go play in the WHL. Which is why I'm not sure if I believe Voltin will go to the WHL. But we'll see. It's different with kids like Grimaldi that are from California because Seattle and Portland both have WHL teams and that's just a drive up the coast so they are more familiar. It's different in Minnesota. Quote

I hope he still comes to UND, because it just seems like he genuinely wants to be here, but with his situation, going elsewhere wouldn't surprise me at all. I'm answering my own question. The CHL deadline for adding players is January 10th and has passed, so is he goes there it will be next season. But hopefully he doesn't. Quote

I predict Grimaldi will not be in a Sioux jersey next year either Have you heard of Jerrod Reinholz, Peter Mueller, Sean(?) Roed, and Jim O'Brien. Then there was a defenseman whose name escapes me that left as well. Help me out here gopher fans, I think he wore # 22. Maybe there were a couple defensemen because I think Dan Welch went that route as well. Regardless, the sky is not falling, it happens. Quote

He got kicked out of the U for academics after his sophomore season and after that he went to Hastings Community College to try raise his grades and never came back. I never heard if he went to MJ or not. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 How old is Voltin? Has he completed high school? We're not past the "last day to add" at UND yet. Quote
