Expand Well let's see in 2005 North Dakota brought in 13 freshmen. They were: Joe Finley (D) Taylor Chorney (D) Todd Alexander (D) Zach Jones (D) TK Oshie (F) Ryan Martens (F) Jonathon Toews (F) Andrew Kozek (F) Brad Miller (F and then played D later) Ryan Duncan (F) Matt Watkins (F) Brain Lee (D) Aaron Walski (G) That team had 6 sophomores, 6 juniors, and 2 seniors.

He was on the team that year and played 3 games with no points. He then transfered to St Thomas for the last three years when St Thomas was in the MIAC conference. That team also had future NHLers in Travis Zajak, and Drew Stafford plus Rastislav Spirko went to the Europe before finishing his 4 years. Quote

jk Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 I have thought of that team when looking ahead to the upcoming year, in this unfortunate way. That team probably had the best top 6 UND has seen since the early 80s, but the young defense was not ready and as a result they fell short of a title. This year should have a very good forward group, but will history repeat itself on the back end? Not that this year's forwards will compare to 2005-06. Zajac, Oshie, Spirko and Stafford, Toews, Duncan. Ridiculous, even if young. Quote
