Popular Post brianvf Posted August 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2023 https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-lands-top-goalie-prospect-caleb-heil Welcome aboard Caleb! Quote Caleb Heil, considered one of the best 2006-born goaltenders in the United States, if not the best, gave a verbal commitment to UND late Wednesday night. Heil called UND goalie coach Karl Goehring — on Goehring's birthday, no less — to inform him of the news. "I toured The Ralph with my Minnesota Machine team when I was 9 years old," Heil said. "Ever since then, I've really had an interest in the rink and the program. I've toured it a few times since and I've always maintained that desire to be a Fighting Hawk." Quote Heil's decision came down to UND and Michigan. He visited both schools. "Obviously, UND has a great coaching staff who care about their players," Heil said. "They like to have good relationships there. That meant a lot to me. It really felt right to play for them at North Dakota." In late July and early August, Goehring served as goalie coach for Team USA at the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup in Slovakia and Czechia. Heil was the team's starter, backstopping the Americans to a bronze medal. It was their first medal in the event since 2016. "That was a blast," Heil said. "Karl and I really work well together. That was a very cool experience to get to work with him for a couple weeks and preview how our relationship at North Dakota could be." Nice to win a battle against Michigan. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted August 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2023 Very excited to get a highly touted netminder in the pipeline. Feels like the most unpredictable position to project but nice to see a plan after Perrson and Hedquist. Sounds like Goehring was a big reason we landed him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxScore Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Was hoping for Heil or Hendrickson, really didn't have much of a preference on who but thought both were easily the 2 best available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't had great success on goalie recruiting yet. Hopefully this is a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wilbur Posted August 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2023 Glad to see us pick up the goaltending recruiting. I think we'd all agree we missed on a few and going to the portal every year just isn't a good formula for consistency for the future. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if a stud goalie is sitting because another stud goalie took the net and didn’t relinquish it, they may transfer out, causing us to be forced to do so, so you never know.

He’s a younger guy that can relate more to potential recruits and he also fairly recently went thru that process himself. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I think he'll be drafted in Vegas next June. His approach is like a professional. The way he warms up, the way he approaches practices, the way he approaches his workouts, it's at a very elite level. He's extremely athletic. He's patient. He has really good eyes. He tracks (the puck) well. "He has earned his way to being the top 2006 goaltender prospect in the country. I think that says a lot." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
