watchmaker49 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 This has probably been asked before so be kind please. Last I watched Forney and Schneekloth play against the LV Wranglers. Forney looked really good. So my question is what happened to him here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.B. Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I thought I remembered him battling injuries the one year that he was at UND and then he went back to the USHL with possibly the option of coming back. He ended up signing a pro contract instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ole in MSP Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I thought I remembered him battling injuries the one year that he was at UND and then he went back to the USHL with possibly the option of coming back. He ended up signing a pro contract instead. He broke an ankle (or a wrist) early in a Minn state HS tourney game against St Thomas Academy his senior year (cannot remember which injury even though I was there) and when he got to UND I do not think it was totally healed. From then on he was never healthy enough to play up to his potential. Good size and ability, just had some bad luck and I don't think? he handled it well with the coaching staff either.

watchmaker49 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Thanks for the replies. He looked pretty darn good last night. Would he have still been here if he had not signed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxFanatic Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Thanks for the replies. He looked pretty darn good last night. Would he have still been here if he had not signed? Nope, he would've graduated after the 2009-2010 season. He was in the same recruiting class as Chris VandeVelde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFG Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I was always wondering what happened to him too. My friend played with him at the Little Ralph in TRF quite a few times last year during open ice times and said that he was really, really good.

dagies Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I don't remember exactly when it happened but he had a shoulder injury at UND as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I know at one point his brother Chris looked like he was a great prospect playing defense as a 9th grader. Haven't heard much about him lately. Wonder if he hasn't progressed a lot, or if I just am not hearing his name around recruiting circles and the times I see game stats.

franchise Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Im pretty sure it was his wrist at the tourney, although I didnt think it was broken. He got a lot of heat for standing in the tunnel and watching and not trying to get out there and play. Then it was his shoulder and a few minor things while at UND. His skill was never an issue, he was just never healthy enough to show his true potential...and I think quite a few Sioux fans expected him to be another Oshie.
