AZSIOUX Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Budish to Minnesota. http://gopherpuck.blogspot.com/ good pick up for the gophers - i saw this a long time ago. family ties ect.....nice one. maybe he will bring some toughness into that team that hasnt had any since my boy demarchi left bickel is just a poor mans demarchi nothing more Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Very nice pickup for the Gophers, he will add some much needed grit and determination. I would have like to see him in Green, but we do have an embarrassment of riches. My prediction is that the Sioux pick up 1 more Blue Chip Defenseman and a goalie for 08, a Blue Chip Forward for 09, and then the 10 class will start to take shape. One of these days I need to do some serious wiki updating... maybe get macwilliam for defense but dont count on them getting a goalie for 08, not much out there and may be a some nice 09's they may look at.

Just Curious Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I know this is going to stir the pot with people, but does anyone know if UND is looking at any of the GF Red River boys, or any ND boys in general? I know people assume its the hometown reasoning, but Red River took Roseau to overtime yesterday, which to me would indicate some serious talent on that team. Looks like the goaltender, a few forwards and at least one D-man would have DI potential. Quote

Area players to watch would be maybe Eric Meland and Ryan Ladoucer..Meland has i believe an offer from Harvard and Connecticut as well as another ivy league school. he got a very high act score so he has attracted a lot of ivy league interest he wants to play in the wcha though. Ladoucer is a very good player who was contacted by the penguins after selects this past summer...just passing on what ive heard.Alex Simonson is another possibility as he is a good strong player Quote
nodak hockey fanatic Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 is the other rr defenceman not getting any offers? i thought both ladeucer and galbreath (sp?) were potential d1 guys with a year or two more experience, possible some ushl seasoning? im not sold on the goalie as d1 material, but i don't see them play too often. meland has some skills. i would hope he wouldn't rule out the ivy league, get the best of both worlds... top education and d1 hockey, but i understand the lure of the wcha (even with our officials ) the rehak kid out of williston might be the most physical defencemen in the state and a smooth skater, i believe he is planning on ushl next season. other than that, i don't know much about possible nd college players.

Just Curious Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Thanks for the info, those were the majority of the RR players that I suspected would have DI interest from last year's play and this year's stats. Quote
mikejm Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 You are correct, sir. Wow, wonder what the story is with this guy? That's a lot of games in the WHL. And now he's playing down a level? USHL must not prohibit a pro signee playing. Weird. Quote
spfreak Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I know that UND is keeping an eye on Meland and is very interested in LaDouceur. Meland has gotten interest from Connecticut as well as Princeton. Harvard hasnt shown interest as of yet from what I heard. I don't know who else has shown interest in LaDouceur. Quote

USHL must not prohibit a pro signee playing. Weird. He is a 20 year old and there is a limit on "overage" players in MJ's so that may have played a part in it. As far as the USHL prohibiting MJ players, they don't. Last year Lincoln had a forward that had played MJ's. Quote

As far as the USHL prohibiting MJ players, they don't. Last year Lincoln had a forward that had played MJ's. huh. Thanks for the info. It seems odd to me that the USHL lets MJs in. Are there still mechanisms through which a player with limited MJ playing time can regain their NCAA eligibility. For some reason I recall Colby Genoway lost a year at UND because of an MJ thing. Help? Quote

Are there still mechanisms through which a player with limited MJ playing time can regain their NCAA eligibility. For some reason I recall Colby Genoway lost a year at UND because of an MJ thing. Help? Here is what I found. What You Need To Know About College Hockey Recruiting Students who have played in Canadian Junior Leagues before their regular high school graduation year will lose one year of NCAA eligibility each year. Players who competed in major junior after their regular high school graduation year will lose a year of their college hockey eligibility, plus must sit out one season in residence per year. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 pierre lamoureux also plays with mario at sioux city this season after playing major juniors. hes a penalty machine Quote
mikejm Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Here is what I found. What You Need To Know About College Hockey Recruiting Thanks. Was that why Colby only had three years of eligibility? Quote
Ray77 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Thanks. Was that why Colby only had three years of eligibility? Yeah, if I'm reading that correctly, if someone played a year of MJ's in Canada they would lose 1 year of eligibilty and have to sit out 1 year...so the first year they come they sit out and then have 3 years left instead of the normal 4 years.

skateshattrick Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 pierre lamoureux also plays with mario at sioux city this season after playing major juniors. hes a penalty machine That is a very diplomatic way of describing PJ Lamoureux. Quote
Diggler Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 He's on pace for like 300+ penalty minutes. That's impressive! Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 He's on pace for like 300+ penalty minutes. That's impressive! i know everytime i look for chichy and mario stats its flooded with game misconducts, fights, slashes ect.... he would have been the biggest enforcer in sioux history if would have came here but probably would have been booted from the wcha after his first season maybe it was a good choice for him to play at red deer;) Quote
siouxforeverbaby Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 That is a very diplomatic way of describing PJ Lamoureux. they are listed on the roster for Tri City Storm not Sioux City. and Pierre is Pierre Paul so wouldn't that be PP Lamoureux? Quote
skateshattrick Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 they are listed on the roster for Tri City Storm not Sioux City. and Pierre is Pierre Paul so wouldn't that be PP Lamoureux? No. He has always gone by PJ and always been referred to as PJ. He is a "Junior", so I assume that is why he is called PJ. Quote
siouxnami Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 No. He has always gone by PJ and always been referred to as PJ. He is a "Junior", so I assume that is why he is called PJ. Based on the stats, I can only assume this made him very angry... Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 they are listed on the roster for Tri City Storm not Sioux City. and Pierre is Pierre Paul so wouldn't that be PP Lamoureux? yeah i said the wrong team, sioux me Quote

Sioux Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 now that budish is done, is there any new news on Landman? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 now that budish is done, is there any new news on Landman? i think he may be a player that the sioux are waiting to see how he develops over the next year. maybe nelson as well from roseau anyone have info on hebel from warroad and what type of player he is? thanks and im sure there are many more out there they are looking at every week Quote
