2012-13 Season

[Fighting Sioux 23]

If I remember right, I think Bochenski left kind of late in the summer?

Correct. The news that Bochenski was going to bolt came out in middle to late July, and he finally signed with the Sens in late August.

What are you talking about?

Sorry, I meant to ask if we have seen a similar situation with a player. in regards to waiting this late to sign or not. My bad.

Thats right, I forgot about that. The money line was awesome to watch! He has had a interesting pro career. The KHL is a great league talent wise.

Back to topic...the Sioux could potentially have 3 goalies that would start probably for many teams around the country right now. Interesting situation if so.

Crazy....I thought he was a lock. I have heard his game has been slipping a little (compared to most blue chips). Although he played pretty well in the USHL playoffs this year. I'm shocked he didn't even get by the first cut....he was a first rounder. This is odd. Brady Skeji made it over him and well as two other kids drafted in the 3rd and 4th rounds. I really wonder what happened.

I saw JT Miller made the team right out of the gate. Would have been nice to have him.

[Blackheart]

Do you think JT will play for the team or back out at the last minute?

[scpa0305]

JT played for the team last year I believe....yeah he would have been real nice. Most likely WCHA rookie of the year.

So would Malkin if he had played for us. Time to move on.

Even if JT would have played for the Sioux, and Rocco was healthy, I still think LaLeggia wins WCHA ROY. A 38 point year from a freshman defenseman is much more rare/impressive than a 45-50 point year from a freshman forward, which are the highest point totals you could've realistically expected from either player.

[stoneySIOUX]

Who cares? Neither of those things happened and LaLeggia won is anyway.... moving on

Exactly. Living in the past does no one any good. Move on.

[scpa0305]

Ok guys calm down.

[Sodbuster]

Does anyone out there know when the Meet the Sioux (or whatever they're calling it now) day is scheduled?

[AZSIOUX]

Looks like the roster may be close to set with Dell signing. Can't wait to see the new guys on the ice!

[AZSIOUX]

Per @UNDMHockey twitter

@UNDMHockey: Rocco Grimaldi will be a guest on The Pipeline Show tomorrow night at 9:20 Central. Listen live at http://t.co/B10lnSB2.

[OETKB]

Roster is posted on UNDsports.com, and some of the players have listed weights that have gone up or down. Mostly in the right direction, from what I can tell.

Dickin is gone. Wonder why we did not hear that earlier?

[MissSioux85]

Freshman Numbers:

Gothberg - 31

Chyzyk - 29

Caggiula - 9

Schmaltz - 24

Sanderson - 26

*Grimaldi - 19

*St. Clair - 17

Goalie Clarke Saunders (Jr.) will wear #33

Also of note, Taylor Dickin has transferred to the University of Manitoba

[sioux rube]

Dickin never seemed to fit in. Good move on his part as I'm sure he will get a regular spot for the Bison. Wish him the best.

You are right and it was a good move on his part and I assume he will see much more playing time.

I feel like he was the least "Sioux-like" player I have ever seen at UND. Soft... never went into the boards, avoided contact. No grit, no grind. Seemed like a good kid, but definitely didn't ever fit the mold... IMO I guess. Good luck Taylor, I hope the Bisons treat you well.

Is anyone else wondering where everyone is gonna fit this season? So many talented forwards.

Looks like Pattyn and Parks, among others, really hit the gym this summer. Hopefully Parks stayed just as fast, he could have a big year, possibly approaching 20 goals

[yzerman19]

Mark MacMillan is listed at 6 feet 168 pounds- this means in reality he is probably 5'11 and 160- that is a THIN college hockey player. He has some great skill and potential- imagine if he was 20 pounds heavier? 180 would not slow him down at all, but would give him that extra mass when going to the net and getting ridden by a dman. Right now he is likely giving up 40 pounds to the average WCHA defenseman...that is a lot...maybe he needs to go lay brick with Fratty's old crew in Alberta- that'll put on 20 pounds of muscle in a summer (I know, I did it laying concrete roads one summer in college).

I can remember some legacy players that played here like that.
