Not to jinx anything but I think everyone can relax a little about him going to the WHL. He must have known that he'd be going to Tri City. Quote

grandforks Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 “He’s going to be an extremely skilled hockey player,” Hauge said. “He’s got a dynamic skill set and what’s even more impressive is how hard and physical he plays. He’s going to be a leader for us and I’m really excited about him coming into our locker room.” The second overall pick is also committed to play collegiately at North Dakota. “We think he’ll be ready to play college hockey after one season and hopefully, if we do our job, he’ll be a high-end NHL Draft pick,” Hauge said. “He’s ready to come in and be a marquee player for a franchise in our league and I think that’s what he’s going to do here.” http://www.stormhockey.com/NewsRundown/5713WILKIEBECOMESFIRSTNEBRASKANFORSTORM.aspx Quote

watchmaker49 Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Goalie commitment, SJHL goaltender of the year http://www.sjhl.ca/n...errer_id=630895 This could get interesting. Stellar numbers and not a bad size at 5'11" and 179lbs. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 In the video it sounds like they pronounce his name Huh-ren-key. Quote
Wilbur Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Glad that they brought in a #3 that will compete for the job right away. Played a ton of minutes last year, and a ton of games. From watching the highlight package he has decent rebound control, but kind of flops around a bit. Nice to have three options in net. Quote

He's super quick side to side and dropping down to butterfly but I didn't see him flopping around like Lamoureux or anything. I wish he was taller though...... Quote

I'm going to agree with you about not seeing flopping, if he's a flopper what does that make Lamoureux? He looks like a good goalie and I can't wait to see him! Quote
Siouxhockey78 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Looks like a great goalie not sure if we can actually rank him as #3 I believe he has a shot at making the other 2 work for their spots Quote
watchmaker49 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Looks like a great goalie not sure if we can actually rank him as #3 I believe he has a shot at making the other 2 work for their spots Which will make them work harder for playing time. Seems like a real win-win situation. Somewhat curious as to how long had they been talking to him? Hard time believing they had not been watching him since last year. Have a good feeling about this.

Either way great pickup! Quote
Tbone Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 A young 21? He should provide a push to Zane, eh Clarke? Quote

Goon Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I would have to think that he's was brought here for a reason and we will soon find out. Quote
MissSioux85 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Matt Hrynkiw is the CJHL goalie of the year http://www.cjhlhockey.com/news/news_detail.html?newsID=581 Quote
SiouxScore Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I would have to think that he's was brought here for a reason and we will soon find out. Because we needed a 3rd goalie? 1 Quote
