Kevin G Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Just looking into Garrett Pyke: 6'1", 190 lbs., defenseman, left-hand shot, from Mississauga, Ont. For those who like statistical oddities, check out Pyke's stats from the past two years: identical number of games played, goals scored, assists, and points. 2021‑22 Alaska ** 34 4 15 19 2 0 46 54 2 2022‑23 Alaska ** 34 4 15 19 1 0 40 72 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have his work cut out for him for sure. He's no longer the Big Fish in the little WCHA pond...he's now the Little Fish in the big B10 pond...at a school that could care less about hockey. It'll be interesting to see how long he takes to turn UW into a contender again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/alaska-captain-garrett-pyke-commits-to-und Quote UND has added one of the top defensemen from the NCAA transfer portal. Alaska captain Garrett Pyke, who nearly led the Nanooks to a surprising NCAA tournament appearance this season, committed to the Fighting Hawks on Thursday. Pyke will have one year of college eligibility remaining. "I'm excited," Pyke said. "Obviously, it's a program in college that everyone is familiar with. It's a great team, a great coaching staff. To be a part of it, it's a good feeling." Pyke, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound left-handed blue liner, posted identical numbers in his final two seasons with Alaska — 34 games, four goals, 19 points. He also registered a team-high plus-14. Unfortunately only one year of eligibility remaining. Hopefully the other dman portal additions have 2+ years. I like his +/- though. Quote The Fighting Hawks will be turning over their entire defensive unit and bringing aboard eight new players. "I think it's a big opportunity," Pyke said. "There's a little change in the defensemen. I'll be able to step in, and I want to be able to contribute right away. I want to be the guy. We also have a great freshman class coming in. I think they're going to play a big role as well. There are some top returning guys at forward. I'm excited for this team. We've got some big things ahead of us." Pyke played the No. 1 defenseman role in Alaska, averaging a team-high 23:06 per game. He played on the power play both at the top of the zone and in the right circle. "I think I'm most effective and most comfortable at the top," Pyke said. "That's probably the best spot for me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Whether Motzko could meld his talent at finding and developing older players with the young superstars he'd have access to at MN was an open question, since answered. Now we'll see if Hastings can do it. I'm guessing yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better pedigree, 2 years younger and has played over 120 games in a significantly tougher conference. Not a righty though, they may be going for a righty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
