I'd take a Grand Forks winter over a Phoenix summer any day. well, 90% of the students go home for the summer.... Quote

Fall semester starts back up mid-Aug and if ASU is anything like other hockey schools, the team members come back in July to start team workouts. For these Canadian kids, the temps in July-Sept would be a complete eye-opener from anywhere they've ever lived. Quote
brianvf Posted Friday at 10:17 PM Posted Friday at 10:17 PM I wonder if UND is one of the 4-5 schools that he's even talking to. Hopefully Bryn and Jax can at least get him to come in on a visit and then work their magic. 1 Quote

I think there is a little stink on their program currently with Naurato possibly. Just a guess but we’ll see. Quote

Wonder if Chyzyk/Jackson gave him a serious offer or if this was primarily an NIL driven commitment and Smith was only going to go east of Lake Michigan. Really interested to see how he develops there, thought he would have fit in better at any of North Dakota, Denver, or Michigan. Quote

Feel like our backend is pretty set on the left side for this coming year. Feel like NIL maybe played a role for him to not go to Denver or Michigan though or even BC/BU. Will be interesting to see how his Penn State experience goes. 2 Quote

Something hockey pundits keep mentioning regarding CHLers going the college route is that they may find the grass isn't greener and rejoin their MJ team mid-season. Players seeking the biggest payday seem like the biggest flight risks. 1 Quote

Which we already saw in the past, difference was, going to the CHL from the NCAA made them ineligible to return to the NCAA. Now, those guys can go back if they want to, as we're seeing with Noah Powell Quote
