Shawn-O Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I believe #12 is retired. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've wondered about that. Anyone know what the deal is with #12? Hey, it's May, and it's another piece of trivia to discuss....cut me some slack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 One thing of note: I'm expecting Zach Jones to inherit the #3 As am I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I believe #12 is retired. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know #23 is retired a la Engelstad, but I never heard about the number 12. I'm interested to know why that number is retired as well. PCM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLW4GOPHERS Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Always a good policy to approach these situations with caution, never know when some "newbie" may show up on a message board and try to jerk your chain. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No one would do that around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLW4GOPHERS Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Personally, I'd rather see Oshie play 2 years in the USHL. Think how good he'd be then! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know if your serious on that or not, but the problem then is the kid will leave early for another level. Oshie dream is to get to the NHL or whatever league there is. He won't stay in school any longer than he has to. I think your better to get him early where you will get a minimum of 2-3 years and probaly 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 The Sicatoka posted a trivia question about retired Sioux jersey numbers. Here's his answer from May 6, 2002: Number 12: Terry Casey. He played three seasons (63-64, 64-65, 65-66) and is tied with Marc Chorney and Curtis Murphy (for 46th) in all time UND scoring with 88 games, 57 goals, 61 assists, for 118 points. He was an All-American in the 1965-66 season with a 26/28/54 line in 30 games. He died in a car crash and no one has worn number 12 for the Fighting Sioux hockey team since.

The Sicatoka Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Thanks for making me look good PCM. To be more clear I should have said: He was a team captain and died in a car crash near his hometown in Montana, yes, Montana, before his senior year and no one has worn number 12 for the Fighting Sioux mens hockey team since.

The Sicatoka Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 What a quick search turned up for 2004-05 jersey numbers for projected or reported incoming recruits (this fall or next*): Alexander 2 Chorney 4 Marto 4* Jones 6 Toews 9 Watkins 9 Martens 14 Miller 15 Oshie 19* Duncan 22 Lee 22 (2 with USA) Kozek 26 VandeVelde 26* Walski 30 EDIT: Added Alexander per comment by jk.

jk Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Nicely done, The Sicatoka. I had done the work and was about to type it up when I checked one last time, and you had beat me to it. Seeing Walski in your post reminded me to check Alexander, who wore #2 last year for the Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodakvindy Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 The Sicatoka posted a trivia question about retired Sioux jersey numbers. Here's his answer from May 6, 2002: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There used to be display for Casey at the Old Engelstad, along with one for Dave Christian, Tony Hrkac and the friendship broom. However all of these items seemed to have disappeared when the new arena was built. There should most definitely be a banner for Casey's #12 much like the 23 banner. Another interesting tidbit about Casey is that he came from the hockey hotbed of Great Falls, Montana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THETRIOUXPER Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Coming from a source very close to TJ Oshie, he will be in a Sioux jersey this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Barn Guy Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Another interesting point of information about Terry Casey: Not only was he from Great Falls, Montana............he was a former figure skater. He was an outstanding hockey player, and could really fly on the ice. I had the pleasure of watching him play back in the 60's in the Real Old Barn (the quonset).

The Sicatoka Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 There used to be display for Casey at the Old Engelstad, along with one for Dave Christian, Tony Hrkac .... I recall the one for Casey at old REA. Is it with his All-American photo in new REA? (Yes, Terry Casey was a current All-American at the time of his death.) Christian is pretty well remembered in the new REA if you go up the south escalator (wall-sized photo). Tony has a display in the lobby (Hobey).

DAR Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Wonder if Chorney would be interested in his dad's old # 16. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> # 16 is typically a number that a forward would wear but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a lot of #'s that seem strange for the position around these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yttrium Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 Oshie will bring many valauble intangibles to the Sioux. He's nearly 6'0" now and packing on mass tuning up for the 2005 NHL Combine Camp in Toronto on June 4-5, 2005 and the 2005-06 WCHA season. He brings with him 2 MN State Championships where he helped the Warroad Warriors to 3-consecutive trips to the Xcel Energy Center as the Warriors finished 85-5-3 during his tenure. Among those stats one is startling ... they went 38-0-0 vs. Section 8A teams. Perhaps one of the toughtest Sections in MN. He also leaves Warroad as their All-Time Leading Scorer w/ 241 points in 3 seasons. That's quite an accomplishment in Hockeytown USA. Also, Seattle Junior Hockey Association named him their "Player of the Decade" during a ceremony in April. He would have attended but was playing that night for the Sioux Falls Stampede.

THETRIOUXPER Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Make no mistake about it this kid is a player. Congatulations and best of luck to you TJ, here's to a great career as a "Fighting Sioux". As I have said already, can't wait to see him in a sioux jersey this fall, he will be here 100% sure on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
