Poor numbers his first two junior years, definitely producing this year albeit not a top notch league and he’d be one of the older players in the league. Could be a late bloomer given his size? Who knows, time will tell. He’s 4th in the AJ in points per game at his position. Big boy. If it’s more of a depth add not terrible I wouldn’t think. He’ll be old too. Quote
tnt Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Would have been nice to get an overage guy last year from the AJHL -- McCallister! Quote

jk Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 A long time ago, a few forward commits plateaued prematurely, and the Alberta-raised coaches went home for a back-up plan, signing Rodwell and Rowney out of the AJHL. Is this deja vu all over again? Quote

Covid probably masked what he was doing, maybe grew later than his peers? Either way…last years junior numbers were absurd. What he’s doing this year is crazy. Very well could be a one and done.

brianvf Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-picks-up-commitment-from-right-handed-defenseman-tanner-komzak?fbclid=IwAR1WDVIznEPax_UkrQ0tih3QYVfgW7oD22VGOzjGVsQEul-Q_vEE0z2clKw Quote Three of the eight defensemen are out of eligibility — Chris Jandric, Ty Farmer and Ryan Sidorski. Two more could turn pro — Tyler Kleven and Ethan Frisch. And in this day and age, you never know who could end up in the transfer portal. So, there will be a load of rookies coming in the fall. The potential newcomers on UND's commitment list are all left-handed — something the Fighting Hawks took a step to address over the weekend. UND picked up a new commitment from a big, right-shot defenseman in Tanner Komzak from the Whitecourt Wolverines in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. Quote "After coach Berry reached out to my coach to ask about me and what I was like as a person, he reached out to me," Komzak said. "He started asking about my personality, family, then started talking about my play style and what he liked about my game. Things went from there. They escalated pretty quickly. Getting the offer was unreal. I was pretty excited about it." Komzak, who also was being pursued by RPI, likely will slot in as a replacement for Sidorski, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound right-shot defenesman. Komzak ages out of junior hockey after this season, so he's guaranteed to come to UND in the fall. Quote

brianvf Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Speaking of Perron. He looks small and shifty. I like it. Pair him with Blake and Gaber (should he return) and they could do some damage as long as they could play the defensive side as well. Our core group of younger forwards should be very good over the next couple years...if the coaches can figure out the goaltending and defensive woes, we could see some good teams. Quote

I’m not so sure anymore, unless he’s current hurt. His numbers have taken a significant dip since his hot start. They moved Celebrini off his line i believe and every came to a halt. Hopefully he he picks it back up. on a more positive note, Emerson still cruising along. Slipec struggling as well. 1 Quote
