Michigan already has his silent commitment

Henry Mews isn't silent anymore. I DM'd Schloss on Twitter and he said one of their current silent commits is a projected top 20 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. I received another DM that said Ryan Roobroeck (late 2007, OHL, Niagara Ice Dogs, 2026 Draft) is being pursued heavily by Michigan

They’re spending all the money available to the hockey program this offseason

Just not so silent that you didn't hear it.

I’m just guessing based off the tea leaves that are out there that he’s going to Michigan and has known for some time.

Bryn got his law degree at UND.   Tarek Howard did too and is from Alberta.  I wonder if his connection to Tarek is of any value beyond the fact that they are both former Sioux players.

An advisor to a top player silently committed to another program (Michigan) informed Schlossman before it was released to the public? Usually that stuff is kept under tight wraps until the appropriate time.

Sounds like Michigan's returning to the tried & true rent-a-mercenary approach since it's worked so well for them in the past.

And they’ll probably miss the NCAA next year again. Can’t build a team with just a bunch of offensive talent.

Not unless he looking to buy some used cars.

Somebody has to back check, and the only ones willing to do it are probably in suits.

Is Tarek selling cars?  Serious question.

I believe he works as an attorney at Forx Motors.

Was the trademark stuff for Ms. Berry freelance work?

I don't know where you are going with this, but Tarek Howard is about as good of a person as you will ever meet. He's a class act and very ethical.

Agree.  Only knew him at school.   Fine man and widely respected.

I am sure he is, skated against him once in intramural,  glad checking was not part of it.  Just saying, wasn't he the attorney of record in the nodal trademark situation.

Time to move on from McKenna

[siouxfaninseattle]

I'll take that as a sign.

This is a humorous scouting report on recent Michigan commit Mews from the OHL.
As a dman, his defensive skills appear to be his weakness.

Ben Kindel is someone I'd hope Bryn and Dane have called. Big time scorer in the Dub, clutch.

If UND is to be seriously competitive with other conferences in recruiting, it cannot allow a player of Kindel's caliber to bypass UND for a team in the B1G or HEA; especially when they've already got the OHL & QMJHL to draw from. McKenna may fly right over UND on his way to Ann Arbor, but cannot allow others like Kindel from the Dub to do the same. UND, & the NCHC in general, need to establish that league as mostly an NCHC feeder.

[nascar99]

Considering the Brad Malone connection, here's an Oshawa Generals forward that Bryn & Dane should inquire about: Owen Griffin (2007): 62 GP, 51 PTS in the regular season, but in the playoffs, 10 GP, 17 PTS so far. Starting to gain more attention for the 2025 Draft as a 2nd-4th round type.

 

[nascar99]

Another Oshawa Generals forward that should be pursued (especially if Michigan and Michigan State don't pursue) is Brooks Rogowski (2008): 66 GP, 23 PTS playing down the lineup in his 16 year old rookie season for the Generals, and he's a fast 6'6 center. Very solid possibility he puts up big numbers in 2025-26 with more ice time.
