Goon Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 On the other front it sounds like DU's goalie recruit was lit up. Oh well. Unforunately it appears that Michigan has a very talented and sound goalie coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforunately it appears that Michigan has a very talented and sound goalie coming in. Nah. I wouldn't be too worried. Sauer was supposed to be lights out but wasn't. Hogan's been alright. As a Wings fan, though, I love noticing how Sauer is a Colorado draft pick. Now they have two sieves in the system (Budaj and Sauer). If they'd only get Huet.... In unrelated news, my mother was flying back from Chicago and sat next to current Shattuck Midget AAA goaltender Markus Zelzer. He's being looked at by the Force. He's currently a junior at SSM. He told my mother (who isn't at all connected with hockey but knows hockey through me) that, at SSM, UND is one of the premier programs that SSM players look up to. That doesn't mean that they all strive to play for UND, but it reaffirms that the pipeline is still available. As for how good Zelzer is, I don't know. I'm not sure UND is in the market for a goaltender unless Eids bolts within the next 2 years. On a purely roster-made note, Zelzer doesn't fit UND's mold. He's 6'3" tall. I think the goaltender height limit is 6'1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxhockeyfan11 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Saw Jake Plutowski led the Chicago Showcase in scoring, good to see a Central boy do good against stiff competition. Team North Dakota went 3-1 in the tournament but did not advance to the championship round. Team Minnesota beat Team Michigan in overtime to win the title. Don't know about his future plans but just thought it was interesting enough to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxhockeyfan11 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Luke Johnson who just finished his freshman year at Red River was drafted in the 5th round of the WHL's draft #97 overall to Medicine Hat. Hope his dad steers him the right way to come to UND! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yes, he played on the 1st line at a traditional hockey school like Red River as an 8th grader. A lot of potential there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Curious Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Anyone know anything about this Scott Harrington kid?? He is supposedly going pretty high in the OHL draft but gave a statement saying he wants to go NCAA route. Of course this could all be some ploy, but I am curious. There are no specific colleges listed in the article, but I would hope UND would be able to draw some interest. http://www.westerncollegehockeyblog.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxperseven Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yes, he played on the 1st line at a traditional hockey school like Red River as an 8th grader. A lot of potential there! Tons of potential! He was on the 1st line because Malm knew he would lose the kid going into the 9th grade as he would go to Central following his dads footsteps so he was buttering him up. GF has an open enrollment and if a kid is going to play varsity in 8th grade he HAS to play in his district which is Red River. The interesting part is he had a blast and they won state and nobody foresaw that. We'll see where he goes next year but my bet is Central. From what I hear he'll be USHL bound by 11th grade. Good thing is family is great...kids and parents are not head cases at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA Hockey Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 The very prestigous Toronto Prospects tourney is this weekend for the 94 birthdates, I posted about the 93's in early April and the 90-92's will be next weekend. The local players are on the Waterloo Junior Blackhawks, here are the rosters, http://www.prospectstourney.com/Rosters%20...%20schedule.xls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 It looks like Matt Van Voorhis of Edina, formerly of Grand Forks, has accepted a spot with the USA Developmental Under 17 team in Ann Arbor. Hopefully he will develop into a great player there and the Sioux will have an inside track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched this kid on tv during the state tournament I didn't really think he was that good at all. I know he was only a sophomore I think, but regardless nothing impressed me at all......

tnt Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Does anybody know if Stanislav Galiev of the Indiana Ice is going to play Major Junior, or if he is being recruited by anybody? I see he is the only 1992 birthdate in the top 10 scoring in the USHL regular season at # 7, and he is # 8 in the playoffs. Other than Cichy, a 1990, the rest are either 1988's or 1989's, mostly 1988's. Unless he has a major attitude or learning problem, I would think teams would be hot on his trail. Pretty impressive for someone that young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may even be an article where Galiev stated as much. He's got zero chance of going the NCAA route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Interesting to see Nolan Zajac's name, as I would have thought he would follow his brothers to Salmon Arm. Not saying he would go to Cedar Rapids, but to go at # 12 you would think they would have some inkling of his plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Nolan seems to be a player. On the HFBoards they are talking pretty highly of him. He is a defenseman, albeit a smaller one at the moment. He's 5'10", but could still grow considering Travis is like 6'2". Here's an article on him from the WinnipegFreePress: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/ho...ewAllComments=y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodbuster Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 They just stated on KVLY to stay tuned for the 10:00 P.M. sports for an announcement concerning a "possibly big addition" to UND hockey. I put this under this thread because they made it sound like a recruiting announcement. Maybe it's something else......anybody have any insight?
