keikla Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 I agree! Leads by example. I also like the Alternate captain selections! Curious though, no D men are captains. Is that common? It hasn't happened since the year it was Kaip, Fabian, and I forget who else. But, while uncommon, it's also not common for the team to have such an entirely young defensive core, either. Quote

I believe it was actually the year prior to that when Porter wore the C and Fabian, Kaip and Toews wore the A's. Quote
MissSioux85 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 On Twitter, Trevor Olson stated that he has enrolled in summer classes at UND. Chris Wilkie replied, "cya there!" Possible answer to who the coaches are bringing in this fall? Olson was always scheduled to come in, but there were questions about Wilkie. Quote

Possible answer to who the coaches are bringing in this fall? Olson was always scheduled to come in, but there were questions about Wilkie. Yeah we'll see. He may be getting a jumpstart on his schooling. I would be slightly shocked if he was the player they decided to bring in. However, I'm not sure whoelse they could bring (not knowing Gersich's school situation). I got on Wilkie early last year because his numbers were not impressive at all, then he went on tear towards the middle of the year. He finally cooled off towards the end of the year. I really do think another year of juniors would help him a lot. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Yeah we'll see. He may be getting a jumpstart on his schooling. You have to be careful with that. Do it wrong and you start your NCAA eligibility clock. Recent article on Wilkie: http://www.theushlhockeyleague.com/news.php?news_id=2359 Quote
siouxforce19 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 You have to be careful with that. Do it wrong and you start your NCAA eligibility clock. Recent article on Wilkie: http://www.theushlhockeyleague.com/news.php?news_id=2359 Trevor Olson took summer classes last year also and went back to juniors so Wilkie could be doing the same thing. You'd have to take quite a bit of classes to start the proverbial "clock." Summer school selection doesn't really allow a heavy load. Quote
dagies Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I don't know but is it possible some recruits come up to train without taking courses? Not sure of the rules or policies around that....just asking. Quote
MissSioux85 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Apparently there was a small fire inside The Ralph today. Not many details at the moment - http://www.wdaz.com/content/fire-breaks-out-ralph-engelstad-arena I wonder if it had anything to do with the work being done at ice level. Quote
Godsmack Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Question: I could've sworn UND was going to play a series this fall up in Vermont. However, I don't see the Catamounts on UND's non-conference schedule. Am I wrong? Can anyone let me know what happened? Thanks, Dan Quote

Redneksioux Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Appears Fenton is meeting with CBS today. Hope he can move the chains in the right direction for the sake of tv viewership/availability. Quote

Won't happen this year but Fenton is very aware of Faison's dislike of the exclusivity clause. Brian hasn't been shy about expressing how much it has hurt UND. 1 Quote

Brian hasn't been shy about expressing how much it has hurt UND. I have inquired and the league can't get CBS to budge on the exclusivity deal. There's a chance that more NCHC games could be on a regional network like Fox Sports and Root Sports. I would be willing to bet in two years that exclusivity deal is not in the next TV deal. Quote
siouxnews Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Any North Dakota kids invited to the world junior tryouts? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Any North Dakota kids invited to the world junior tryouts? Nick schmaltz did unless your are referring to just actual local kids then I don't think so. Quote
siouxnews Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Yeah I meant UND kids. I thought gersich would have made camp although I haven't seen him play. Thats just based on the fact that he was highly recruited and on the u18 team Quote
AZSIOUX Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Yeah I meant UND kids. I thought gersich would have made camp although I haven't seen him play. Thats just based on the fact that he was highly recruited and on the u18 team I'm guessing he gets a look as well through the year being with the NTDP program and he has played in various international tourneys for USA. He's a November 96 and Schmaltz is a February 96 who will be a first round pick likely. Been a while since UND has had a forward like this to throw in the mix come October. He and his brother both have sick skill sets! Go sioux Quote

scpa0305 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Parks-markmac-caggs Johnson-schmaltz-chyzk Odonnell-pattyn-gaarder (could be an interesting senior line vs younger teams, I'm optimistically thinking this line could put up more pts than were all thinking) Poganski - Simonson - Olson (st Clair or Murphy could work their way on to this line, or the third if odonnell underperforms). Schmaltz - Thompson Mattson - ladue Poolman - ausmus (I honesty think it's between ausmus and stetcher depending on the type of team we play. Poolman is a clone of ladue, he can't be sat at least not right away based on what I've seen of him. The college game may throw him for a loop, who knows). Quote

SiouxScore Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I think we will see a similar Friday/Saturday rotation like we did this year with Thompson and Ausmus between Poolman and probably Ausmus while up front there should be a little more depth and hopefully guys pushing for playing time that we really didn't see a whole lot of this past season. Here is my early shot at some lines: Johnson-MacMillan-Parks Caggiula-Schmaltz-Poganski Pattyn-Gaarder-Olson OD/Chyz-Simonson-St.Clair Thompson-Schmaltz Mattson-LaDue Ausmus/Poolman-Stecher Ausmus/Poolman-OD/Chyz-Murphy-Panz-Sanderson Quote
scpa0305 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 You guys seem to like Thompson up top with Schmaltz, similar to my initial guess. I thought Thompson looked so good at the end of the season, his first pass out of the zone is ridiculous (similar to Schmaltz's). In regards to my initial D profected lineup, the reason I was putting Ausmus over Stetcher was simply his size and the fact he is more defensive. He would be useful on the PK. Early in the season Stetcher showed some offensive flashes however we already have some highly offensive defensemen (Schmaltz, Mattson, Ladue....even Poolman who is more like Ladue in that they are both above average 2-way defensemen). On a side note, I also really like the size and mobility of that defensive core....could be scary if they click early. As for SiouxScore's linup...I like that top 6. If Poganksi figures out the speed early that could work. Olson may be a nice fit there too. There were times last year when I thought Chyzk could be that underclassman who could be good his junior and senior years. We'll have to see. Also, Simonson may be able to flow up and down the lineup. He does have offensive skill; his shot is very good. Quote
