Coach leaves I’d want my kids to follow. Logical to me. I think this may be true in a lot of cases and hastings was obviously great at his job , but do you really think our team and recruits picked Berry over the historical pedigree of UND ??

Stack Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 20 hours ago, The Sicatoka said: @bale31: Your post says you'll have at least eleven new faces on the roster. UND has twelve, maybe just eleven, guys returning. Pretty sure UND is looking at more like fourteen or fifteen new faces. Tell me your woes again ... 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. They went to 4 Frozen Fours in a row even though a number of players turned pro early. Not sure if this is even possible now with the transfer portal but we can hope? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

jk Posted April 5, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
