My guess is North Dakota in the new font.

Godsmack, your D looks way better than the D in our professional logo.....please don't draw so well next time

I wish I could take credit for that fine work of art but I can't. However, I thought it would work well for the redesigned sweaters!

Why are you looking at his D?

[fightingsioux08]

Because he put his D on a public forum for everyone to C

Just in passing. The real ones go in Mafia's iPod.

I think a guy could get arrested for posting his D on a public forum like this.

Here maybe, but not GPL, where it would have to be a small offense.

Tomek just drafted in 2nd round of USHL draft.

Looks like that's where he'll be this fall, taking the Forney route

[SiouxFanatic]

Good for Matej if so, he needs the playing time. It's too bad he rarely got to do so for UND when he recovered from injury.

[AJS]

I think this is best for everyone involved. Tomek needs minutes and they just aren't here, as for UND, I'd rather have Thome back up Johnson this year (hopefully splitting some time).

[cberkas]

So, I take this as he goes to the USHL for a year then comes back?

Either that or goes somewhere else

I'd rather see him stick around. Embrace the challenge and take some starts from Cam. If you shy away from competition now how will you do at the next level when it becomes even harder.

By all accounts, he has done just that up to this point.   If he stays here, history says he won't see many pucks this year.  Some would say staying is an indication that he is content warming the bench and argue he should have gone where he is being game-time tested on a regular basis.  While I would also like to see him stay,  I wouldn't blame him for taking an opportunity to play.   He has proven his patience and loyalty in my mind.

I'd like to see him come back as well. He is one injury away from playing major minutes.

He hasn't had great showings in the minimal ice time that he has had, but neither did Cam when he first played. If I remember right, he got rocked in his first appearance, and started his National Championship season with a couple soft goals to Maine. If Tomek had the ability to get a little consistent playing time, this year or next, maybe he really shows us what he's got.

I hope he stays, but I understand if he does not. Even if he does go to the USHL, I hope the coaches stay in contact with the kid. Maybe he comes back for another try. Who knows...

I'm not questioning his loyalty or patience. Sometimes if you want something you have to take it. His goal should be to work harder and perform better than Cam in practice. That, in my mind, would only help both players. It'd be nice to have two goalies pushing each other and splitting time every weekend or every other. Or just the ability to go with the hot hand while having confidence in both guys.

[InHeavenThereIsNoBeer]

Tomek doesn't seem to have the attitude needed to play in the big time spotlight at UND... and I have this on good authority

I hope he can grow and thrive in the ushl and find success
