A month ago there was an article stating that it was down to UND & MI. Now you're stating that UND never stood a chance with him. That's what my connections have told me. Unless something drastically changes, he'll be at Michigan. Quote

rockstar45 Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Why is everyone so adamant about guys who don’t perform to leave but then Hobie departing everyone is defending. The dude couldn’t play a big game and win, how could they trust him to play when they have a chance to get back to developing goalies. Sorry Hobie but good luck on your feature endeavors 1 9 Quote

Sorry Hobie but good luck on your feature endeavors Well you see, there’s this thing called development. A player has 4 years to play. Typically, players get better and better from year to year. Other times it can take 2-3 years to figure out the level. Sometimes, guys figure it out right away. I think the point (with some posters) is that he’s only just entering his upperclassmen years. It’s still early and his numbers are just avg…not awful. You clearly never played…a$$ hat post. 3 Quote

Jordan Kawaguchi was a very good player for UND. He always had the skill, but there were times as late as his second year when it just looked like the game moved a little too fast for him to make plays he had the skill to make. That changed. 1 Quote

His ability to pivot on a dime was so slick, and really only emerged his last two years. He, Adams and Mismash would have undoubtedly not stuck together for 4 years in the current portal era. Quote
NoDak Hockey Nation Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Former Minnesota-Duluth and Niagara forward Kyler Kleven has entered the portal. Moorhead native, really good friends with Anthony Menghini… Could be a solid depth addition, but we’ll see where it goes. Played for Waterloo when Chyzyk was in his first year with the Blackhawks.

We have a ton of guys who could fill a “depth role” honestly. We need to either flip someone late or add some stud out of CHL. We need a stud. 5 Quote

A depth senior or junior and 1 more freshman make sense for that plan. We shall see how they play it out though. Quote

siouxweet Posted May 1 Posted May 1 May have been discussed already but Schloss had article today about some CHL kids not being able to meet NCAA academic transfer requirements and UND had a private commitment that might fall into that category. Quote

That’s not what he was talking about. There is a certain academic path (courses) you have to take and it matters when you take them to be NCAA eligible. A lot of guys weren’t planning on going NCAA route so they didn’t care about this. Sure, some guys have bad grades but that’s not the point here. Quote

These kids just did not take the required classes in high school to be eligible to play American college athletics. In the future it will be much different because they’ll have years to satisfy the NCAA requirements. It’s mainly just because of the difference in US and Canadian schooling requirements 1 Quote
