So many great players with access to Major Junior players, so top teams are bound to get their share. Hopefully we are in on even bigger names. 1 Quote

A strong WMU team is good for the NCHC & provides UND with good competition to elevate its own game. Better he went to the NCHC than the B1G or another conference. Good chance that UND gets one comparable to Benak or even better. 27 minutes ago, tnt said: So many great players with access to Major Junior players, so top teams are bound to get their share. Hopefully we are in on even bigger names. Correct. It was previously thought by a few on this board (just last spring, in fact) that a few schools with large NIL reserves would hog all the elite players & make it difficult for UND & others to compete. That's been proven false, because there are simply too many talented CHL, USHL & international players to go around for just a few teams to all get. 1 Quote

Makes you wonder if the Wild encouraged him to go that route, as last year it appeared he wasn’t interested in the college route, or maybe he had to take care of some transcripts to meet eligibility requirements.

I didn't think he would go the NCAA route at all when he went to the OHL. I think we'll see more Euros going to the NCAA now. Quote

Taking the slower path is a decent route. He’ll be really good right away next year. Quote

Vaclav Nestrasil Sr is getting word out to more & more Czechs about the benefits of NCAA Hockey, and we're seeing more Czechs go to the NCAA now Quote

Works for some, but not others. Bob is going the BU route and bringing in some more young forwards...we'll see if it works out as well for UMN as it did this year for BU. Quote
tnt Posted yesterday at 03:17 AM Posted yesterday at 03:17 AM The Ruck brothers have 7 points between them tonight and done for the night for a skirmish with 8 minutes left. Both are closing in on 100 points on the season, one with 98 and the other with 97. 1 Quote

Would imagine most of the blue bloods/notable programs have been in consistent contact with them I'm sure that's the case and with that I would imagine whomever gets them that would mean two forwards get pushed back or more likely pushed out. That's just the new crazy world of recruiting with the CHL opening and especially when it seems alot of the bigger "blue chip" recruits wait until after there season is over to "officially/publicly" commit. 1 Quote
nascar99 Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Christian Humphreys (2006, formerly Michigan, now Kitchener Rangers, Pittsburgh PA) commits to Minnesota. Very solid for them Quote
