Fetch Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Another topic today made me wonder (in the last 10 yrs). Who is the most popular former Sioux player ? For me it's between Zack Parise - Toews or Oshie maybe others ? Quote
Fetch Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 If we went back farther many could be added Im not thinking best player but most popular with fans. Quote
scpa0305 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Toews....although i liked Nelson a lot too. Quote
BobIwabuchiFan Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Bob Iwabuchi is my all time favorite...crazy goalie always wins in my book! I always like how everyone assumes your favorite Sioux player can only be a hockey player - I suppose because the Hockey team was the only one that really supported the name and then maybe Basketball....

InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Nick Naumenko, hands down. Don't ask me why but he was my favorite player growing up, which reminds me that I need to get his name embroidered on the back of my Sioux jersey Quote
SiouxScore Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I'd say Oshie is my favorite but Toews, Nelson, and plenty others are also in the mix. Quote
gfhockey Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 commy he could realy throw them back at st judes Quote
UND-RedSox fan Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I never truly appreciated what we had with Nelson while he was at UND. How beautiful would have it been to see him play another year with Kristo and Knight. I've only really followed the Sioux since I first came to UND 5 years ago. My favorite players have been Malone, Trupp, Kristo, and MacWilliam in no particular order. If my arm was twisted I would have to say Malone is my favorite former player. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Just got #19 Trupp put on my last Sioux crested sweater. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Jeff Panzer. Pound for pound, one of the best players to ever wear a Fighting Sioux hockey jersey. And grossly underappreciated by fans outside of Grand Forks, ND. Quote
Teeder11 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Teeder, of course, on and off the ice! 4 Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Teeder, of course, on and off the ice! Another good choice. It's a shame that he didn't have one more year, he would have made the 1996-97 team even more potent than it already was! 1 Quote
Speez Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Kevin Spiewak for obvious reasons. + he was pretty fast & always worked his butt off. Quote
shep Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Toews, but Tippett epitomizes what a true Sioux hockey player is. And he's been a pretty good coach too. Quote
Hayduke Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Cary Eades. He used to grin before he nailed someone on the boards. Swear to God, it looked like total evilness coming from him. As much as we talked about Archibald, Eades was intense. I'm not saying that is all there is to hockey, but I dug the intensity. *I just read the heading, didn't read the first post about "last 10 years". I'm sticking to this answer... Quote
Goon Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I had many that I admire. Matt Greene, Zach Parise, Bucks Bochenski, J-Par, Tim Skarp, The Panzer Division. "Teeder" Wynne was pretty good, too. Quote
MafiaMan Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Bob Iwabuchi is my all time favorite... You don't say... 1 Quote
SiouxTupa Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Ryan Duncan - He's my size, not the fastest skater, not the hardest shooter, laser accuracy, super clutch, and humble as all get out. Plus, he stayed all four years and IIRC never missed a game. Quote
GO_FIGHTING_SIOUX_GO Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Brett Hextall just because he was always exchanging recipes with everyone one the ice. (talking) Quote
lawkota Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Doug Smail from my younger days. Evan Trupp has been my favorite from the new Ralph era. Quote
