Yeah, Charlie had a rough season last year. He broke his ankle in the spring of 2012 so he was slowed going into the season. Then he suffered a shoulder injury and once he came back from that, he injured his other shoulder. Too bad because that was a really important developmental year for him, and now this season is really crucial. Of interest, he was also a 2nd Round pick in the 2013 NAHL Draft, so I'm not sure if there's something to read between the lines there or not.

Just an FYI, Charlie did not make the 2013 Force roster. They introduced the team today at a season ticket holder party and he was not there.

Saw on the Wednesday chat someone asking about recruit Jack Rowe (Cedar Rapids/USHL) and why he didn't play in the preseason. He suffered a concussion that kept him out of the preseason but he has returned to skating now and should be back in the lineup for the RoughRiders.

Good for him. Hopefully he can climb the list. I absolutely cannot wait to see his class on the ice.

Don't know, if he moves up the list too much, depending on the team, they might push him the Major Junior route, especially if he perceives he would be a one and done college guy.

i can tell you right now, he's still very much set on UND.

It's great exposure for a UND player to go high in the draft, but in the same token, higher draft picks are pressured more to sign early with their NHL team if they are developing well, and even if they aren't developing as the team hopes. Beyond that, whether he is firm in coming to UND, that won't stop the vultures from circling him and giving him reasons why a person with a high draft status should go a different route. Not saying he will bite on that, but nonetheless the higher he goes, the more pressure will be put on him by those outside sources.
