Typically they follow players after they officially commit. I do remember them following Ollie a day or two before he announced his commitment. I do not remember them following a player that did not commit. Steiner is not as flashy as a Belchetz, Roobroeck, or Preston, but he still would be a great pick up for next year. I’m super late on this, but for what it’s worth, UND has been following Steiner for several months now. I noticed it before the season started but then nothing happened as far as a commitment announcement so I wasn’t sure if something was imminent or not. 1 Quote

Interesting, I clicked on his account a few days ago and saw that UND was a follower. I guess time will tell. At the very least, it seems like there is some mutual interest. He is the only player that is not associated with UND in some way that they follow. Ollie is the only player that I remember them following before an announcement and that was only a couple of days before. This is a new one for me. 1 Quote

Looking at their roster he seems like he may be their best NHL prospect by a good margin. (Could be a case where he would rather announce it after the year. Who knows) 1 Quote

(Could be a case where he would rather announce it after the year. Who knows) If he commits, I doubt it would happen during the season. I doubt he wants to answer questions from the media. He has nothing to gain from announcing an NCAA commitment during the season, imo. I think players are being advised to wait until after the season to commit. Lots of top prospects will come over and almost none are currently committed. Quote
nascar99 Posted Monday at 07:02 PM Posted Monday at 07:02 PM Peyton Kettles off the market, as he signs his ELC with the Penguins. Not the smartest move IMHO, don't think he's going to be ready for pro at 19 or 20 years old straight out of junior. Ben Kindel making the jump was a bit surprising, but at least he had been a high end producer in the Dub, Kettles is not that. Would have benefitted from NCAA time, but oh well. 1 Quote
tnt Posted Monday at 08:17 PM Posted Monday at 08:17 PM Craig Button has Verhoeff at #3, Carson Carels at #6, Cooper Williams at #19, and Mathis Preston at #25. Carels and Preston have been talked about as potential. Surprised Carels was above Lin and Rudolph. 4 Quote

It says that his dad is Corey McKinnon, not Kevin, so not sure how he is tied to UND, as Kevin is the only McKinnon I can find playing hockey at UND. Maybe some other ties to Grand Forks or the University. Quote

He is good, not great, on both sides of the ice. He is a complete player with decent size. The other two have noticeable flaws. Carels would be the ideal replacement for Wiebe next year. Quote
tnt Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago CHL vs. NTDP on NHL network with plenty of the names mentioned as prospective recruits - Lin, Rudolph, Pantelas, Carels, and Preston. Quote

If the USA team plays the same way that they did against UND, I'd imagine that the CHL team will beat them. Wasn't overly impressed with the U18 team compared to previous years. Quote

scpa0305 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Grest team win by NTDP tonight…Cullen and Berchild were very good. Very noticeable. Carels was good, Preston was very very dynamic the last handful of minutes during the game. Scored a really nice goal. Chase Reid was very good. 1 Quote
