Sioux-cia Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Am I pyschic?? I've known this for several weeks. Can't remember where I read this but I knew this to be fact at least as far back as the UMD play off series. Mmm, maybe I should get my own cable show.

Sioux,CO Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Where's the press conference? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No press conference needed. Toews will just be the "Answer" on the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 A verbal is worth all the paper it's put on. This means UND has a signed national letter of intent (or else they couldn't put out the press release). I'll take the signature over a verbal, thank you.

dagies Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Can we have the coaches show again tonite? I want Hennessey to actually ask Hakstol a question about Toewes THAT HE CAN ANSWER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 This is great news, I know he will be very young coming in next year (17 I believe) but from what I have heard and read this kid has some great talent. It just shows the potential that this kid has if Hak is willing to bring him in as a freshman at 17. He will look great in a Sioux uniform. He probably will not have as much of an immediate impact as Kessel but will be a very good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwing77 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I'm pretty sure that Toews, with the letter of intent, signed away his opportunity to play on the World Junior team for Canada. The MJ leagues have a good influence over Team Canada, IMO. I'm sure he'll still try out for it, but I'd be very surprised if he did. And no, don't look for Tri City to back off until he's 21 years old. We're not out of the woods yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1siouxfan22 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Toews should be interesting to watch develop. It's nice to get him at 17 so he will at least stay 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact Boston College's Bertram is currently with Team Canada at the U18s. The only reason Toews isn't with the team is because he couldn't break away in time for the current teams training camp. He may not make the coming years junior team but you can bet he will be on the Canadian junior team the following year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I'm only guessing but I think Kessel is a year younger than Parise was when Parise came to the Sioux. Parise had an immediate impact. From what I've read Kessel is probably a better offensive player than Parise. I think he'll have immediate impact offensively in the WCHA. And I think both Kessel and Toews accelerated their schooling? If so they're both probably the same age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux_Hab-it Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Well maybe he'll pull a Brady and play for the US.? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That would be impossible as Toews only has Canadian citizenship. The only reason some players like Murray and Brett Hull can do it is because they have dual citzenship. Although the Murray family is originally from Brandon, I believe that Brady may have also been born in the US while his dad was either playing or coaching.
