hrkac Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Jordan Schmaltz '100 percent committed' to North Dakota, not Windsor Spitfires Hopefully he still feels this way after the NHL Draft. He'll be at UND. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hopefully he doesn't get drafted by the new york rangers! I'm for him not being drafted by any team in the state of New York. Still amazed that Garth Snow still has a job with the Islanders with all of the playoff success they've had the past few years. Hmmm.....last appearance....2007. I give the guy credit for his first year on the job, but since that first year the Isles haven't been over five hundred, and he's pissed off his fair share of people around the hockey world. *EDIT* He can be drafted by Buffalo. Lot of good former college hockey guys on that squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA Hockey Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 For anyone in the Twin Cities area, the Lincoln Stars are having their invite camp this weekend at Ridder Arena. If they run it similar to Sioux Falls and Fargo, Luke Johnson and Paul LaDue should be there since it would include current players. I couldn't find a schedule anywhere online, but they usually run scrimmages and games all day. I'll probably be down there on either Saturday/Sunday or possibly both.

MissSioux85 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 GF Herald article: UND defenseman expected to go high in the NHL draft Schmaltz interviewed with 24 of 30 NHL teams at the NHL Combine last month. He said almost all of the teams asked if he would be attending UND or if he would bolt to the Ontario Hockey League after the draft, like UND recruit J.T. Miller did a year ago. “I just told them honestly that I am 100 percent to UND,” Schmaltz said. “They were fine with that. They’re happy I’m sticking with my commitment.” Schmaltz said he’s looking forward to working with new UND assistant coach Brad Berry and arriving on the campus where his father and two uncles played college football. “It’s an unbelievable atmosphere,” he said.

SiouxFanatic Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Jordan Schmaltz drafted in the 1st round, 25th overall by the St. Louis Blues. Congrats Jordan! Hopefully Oshie can be a good influence on Jordan getting him to stay 3-4 years at UND. At least play a year with Nick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxScore Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Congrats to Jordan on being drafted by the Blues and even though he has strongly insisted how committed he is to UND and I have believed him it's nice to have him go to a team that has had success with college kids and you know won't try to pressure him to go play major juniors.

Wilbur Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Nothing to really do with the topic, but Brad posted a list of UND's first rounders the past ten years. Two names stuck out to me. Joe Finley going to the caps at 27, and Brian Lee going to Ottawa at 9.....Not sure those were the greatest first round picks in the history of those organizations. Still can't believe that lee went 9th.....wow. I know the injury hurt big Joe quite a bit, but hopefully he can get up with the Sabres for a longer stretch next season.

Lee had a lot of hype on him leading up to his draft. While he hasn't lived up to a 9th overall pick so far, he recent play, getting a new opportunity with Tampa Bay, was impressive. He doesn't have a high ceiling on improving too much anymore, however he's def. played in a lot of games in the NHL so far. We'll see how he does with Tampa Bay this year. He had a tough card dealt to him with the Sens, but to the Sens credit, Lee didn't show too much on the table. He's your rarest form of a puck moving D-man, nothing flashy whatsoever, with a less than stellar shot on the blue line. His only role really, is to be a shut down D-men.

MissSioux85 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Random quote from an LA Kings fan on the team drafting Paul LaDue: Any kid that UND wants is usually pretty good. They're a ******* developing factory. Let's hope he's no different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
