brianvf Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Includes a couple notes on UND recruits: Quote The USHL Fall Classic is underway in suburban Pittsburgh. It's a big event in the NHL scouting world and gives us a first look at the recruiting landscape, especially where currently committed players line up and perform. A few notes from the first two days: 1. UND commit Will Zellers of the Green Bay Gamblers is still coming back from offseason surgery, but his injury is not expected to be longterm. He won't play in the Fall Classic, but he's not far off. Zellers was picked by the Colorado Avalanche in June. 2. Grand Forks native Cole Spicer, who was academically ineligible at Minnesota Duluth in the second semester last season, has gone back to junior hockey. He played for the Dubuque Fighting Saints in Game 1 of the Fall Classic. He sustained an injury in that game and was held out Thursday. The Duluth News Tribune has reported that Spicer still needs to regain his eligibility if he's going to return to college. 3. UND goalie commit Caleb Heil won his first start with Madison, stopping 16 of 19 in a 7-3 victory over Omaha. Heil was traded from Sioux Falls to Madison in the offseason. 4. UND commit Cooper Simpson is not with the Tri-City Storm. He's expected to play for Shakopee High School this season. Last year, he started the season with Tri-City, but returned to prep hockey.

Seems a little strange to me that he isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very odd. Wonder why Pilgrim didn't play any games in the Pittsburgh tourney also.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Quote UND forward recruit Ashton Schultz is on the move in the United States Hockey League. Schultz, a senior in high school, has been traded from the Sioux Falls Stampede to the Chicago Steel. Schultz played prep at Minnetonka last season. He's scheduled to play a couple years of juniors before entering college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's considered a top prospect and we lost him to an upstart program, then it is embarrassing. But I know nothing about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been playing junior hockey since 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
