Big A HG Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 1 hour ago, cberkas said: I think UND really missed on not getting him. Unless you know something I don't, he's not a big kid at 5-10, 165 and only finished T42 in regular season AJHL scoring as a forward, a league not known for a ton of high-end recruits. He's also already 19 and will be 20 in the fall, so an older kid, his stats and size don't bode too well in my eyes. Not saying he's a bad player, but even our role players are typically good enough to light it up in juniors. I'm glad for him that he's able to go D1, though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Devlin McCabe to Duluth. Bit of a coup on their part. North Oaks native, attends SPA...would have thought Ivy, Notre Dame at the least. Watch him decommit for Harvard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savepercentage Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Le Droit in Ottawa reports top QMJHL Draft prospect Benoît-Olivier Groulx is considering UND, as well as Wisconsin, Clarkson, and St. Lawrence. The prevailing wisdom is that he does end up in the Q, but it's worth knowing who he is, because he's really good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prevailing wisdom is that he does end up in the Q, but it's worth knowing who he is, because he's really good. Benoît-Olivier Groulx tried to attend Shattuck-St. Mary's but didn't get in. He has two offers, but not sure who the offers are. It doesn't look like Groulx is being pushed to QMJHL or NCAA. His dad said it will be his decision on what route he takes. After visiting Shattuck Groulx didn't know the NCAA was an option. His USHL rights are held by Des Moines. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 They don't allow in guys with three names with an "i" in each. And guys with an "x" in their last name? No way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that. In fact, it is said that if that French fur trader had spelled his name Faribioux, Shattuck would have started in Owatonna instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His dad has coached at several levels, including major juniors and the AHL. On the record he has said it is up to the kid. The kid has said his mom likes the idea of more education.

siouxfan512 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 So based on the recent posts it looks like we have offered Groulx. What is the likelihood that we offer Bowers? Both look to be some pretty high end talent. I suppose we are still a little while from either of them making a decision on what route the want to take moving forward.

dagies Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 This never got farther than being "prospective" so this is probably as good of a spot as any for looking back.....I think someone on this board (Rick?) has made this comment before, and some people have laughed at it. But, here it is confirmed by Michael Russo: Sidney Crosby was almost a Fighting Sioux Quote He was introduced to college hockey and nearly was wooed by North Dakota, where one of his idols, Parise, was playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
