Is the draft a timing consideration for any announcement from Verhoff?

He’s with the U18 team right now

JJW is from Verona, WI.
Isn't that Schmaltz-ylvania? 
Get "-People's" * to put in a good word?

Correct, Verona is Schmaltz-ylvania. Would hope Jordan & Jake put in a good word, Nick is a little busy right now

... the Ruck boys could form the most dominant 3rd line in the NCAA at UND next season.    

So ... two Rucks could make it right? 

 

Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week. Next show's at 8:30. Don't forget to tip your hostess. Try the veal. Good night everyone!

So all the talk for months has been about the "big 4" WHL D men (Carels, DuPont, Lin and Rudolph) but does anyone know anything about another stud in Xaivier Villeneuve? I'm assuming based on his location that if he goes the college route it's somewhere out East presumable BC, BU, Penn St? Just odd I haven't read anything really on him. And full disclosure I don't think he's someone we are in on but with Chyz I'd imagine he atleast has kicked the tires throughout the year on most everyone.

It's been widely rumored that Boston University & Boston College have been heavily pursuing Villeneuve. Many believe the Terriers have the slight edge. Would assume other blue blood/power programs are keeping tabs (Penn State & Michigan State make sense), but so many don't have room for next year at current time. Obviously subject to change with the possibility that committed recruits get deferred.

Are the follows of Livanavage, Wiebe, and Heil from Wiebusch new?

Livanavage and Wiebe played with him at the Spengler Cup

Beckett Hamilton (2008, Saskatoon, SK, Red Deer Rebels) would be one to watch for the future. Has really come on this year in the Dub

[southpaw]

Not to rain on the parade, but I wouldn't plan on the Ruck twins coming to UND. There wasn't much chatter between them and UND a month ago

I’m not even sure if they’re going NCAA. But if they do, I’m sure Bryn will try to get UND in the mix. 
Like last year…there wasn’t any chatter on Reschny and Verhoeff to UND but that worked out.

Reschny’s brother will help recruit them.

Have you heard anything about who might be more realistic targets?

Based on follows, maybe Belchetz or Command.

Landon DuPont with the game winning goal to put Everett into the Memorial Cup finals.  Carels’ Prince George team lost 1-0, and has some work to do to get to the final, down 3-2 in games.

Everett isn't in the Memorial Cup yet, still just in the Dub Conference Final

[burd]

Might get into Madison next weekend to see Heil play when the Caps get back in town. That would be a first for me.

Yeah, even one step further removed as I completely forgot that Prince Albert and Medicine Hat are still alive to get there too.  They finished their series early so out of sight, out of mind.

[ChetSteadman]

Anybody watching the Prince George/Penticton game?  Is your picture going blurry for minutes at a time?

[brianvf]

Carels with the goal. 
PG up 1-0

[brianvf]

Carels with 1g/1a but PG loses 3-2 in OT to Penticton. UMN recruit Kvasnicka with the OT winner for Penticton. 
PG season is now over. If Carels was waiting until the end of his season for visits and commitment…that clock starts soon.

I think Bryn is right on track , we knew that the 2 Schultz’s and Simpson were coming at foward , McKenzie at D. So he was recruiting for one foward and two D. We shall see what the next couple of months bring. 

[atxsioux]

With Prince George knocked out of the playoffs Carson Carels watch has begun...

[yzerman19]

should we just start calling this the WHL thread lol
