Prospective Recruits

[siouxforce19]

From what I understand the Notre Dame Hounds have 3 pretty good prospects, including Matteau. Hopefully the Sioux can get back into that old recruiting ground. Although he doesn't play for Notre Dame, Brett Malone, some sort of relation to Brad, seems to get some ink as well. Anyone have any more information as to interest in these guys?

That would be his brother. just an FYI

[AZSIOUX]

That would be his brother. just an FYI

if he plays anything like brad then get him to grand forks!

[ticklethetwine]

if he plays anything like brad then get him to grand forks!

Amen.

[The Exiled One]

Nah, he's going to follow in his more successful cousin's footsteps.

[siouxforce19]

Nah, he's going to follow in his more successful cousin's footsteps.

You mean his older, more experienced cousin by quite a few years? lol

[ticklethetwine]

Nah, he's going to follow in his more successful cousin's footsteps.

We don't fault Ryan for going to SCSU.

The Upper Midwest High School Elite League season starts tonight at New Hope Arena. There are two games, but the more intriguing game should be the Southeast vs. Southwest game (since we are recruiting players off both teams), here is the schedule and league website where you can look at the rosters,

So the Sioux are near capacity for Forwards for the next few years, but looking for some D.

Still out there is:

Dan Molenaar from Gopher territory

Schmaltz the former Wisconsin recruit

Nolan Zajac (yes, brother) playing in the BCHL

I'll take all 3.

Granted the only one i've seen play is Molenaar, but I will take them all anyways.

I'm willing to compromise with 2 of the 3.

What about Hayden Trupp (Evan's brother) playing in the BCHL? I know the Vees just traded him but it sounds like it was b/c they were too deep at center, not b/c he can't play. Anyone seen him play or heard anything about his talent level?

Siouxnami you hit the nail on the head. We do need to start getting some D recruits. Hopefully we can land Schmaltz. I would like to see the sioux land Hudson Fasching, AJ Micahelson, Jordan Schmaltz and some other d players. I know some of these players will come in at different times. Hudson being a 10th grader.

Michaelson is a forward. I'm not sure if you knew that and were just grouping him into players you'd like to see us get or not. But since we are discussing D, I wasn't sure why you listed him. Fasching is a D. Saw both him and Michaelson(and a bunch of other players) play last night in the Elite League.

To the person who asked about Evan's brother Hayden Trupp... Hayden is small and probably needs to get a little stronger before he can make it to college. He plays a similar game to Evan from what I've heard.

Siouxforce19. I am aware that Michaelson is a forward. I just would like to see us get him.

Fasching is not a D. Last night he was on a line with Michaelson and Justin Kloos (Lakeville South) and they were the best line on either team.

Lots of talent on the SE and SW teams. Molenaar is smooth, not at the Leddy level but very talented. I'm not sure if he'll spend a year in juniors before starting his college career. No surprise but Michaelson stands out; big and fast. Fasching has a big body compared to some of the other sophomores in the Elite league. Both Michaelson and Fasching will play for Apple Valley this season. I don't know if AV will be coming to the Stadstad tournament in again this year but if they do that would be a great time to check out a very good high school team. The Sioux are also looking at a third Apple Valley kid, Vince Pedrie (junior D).

Apple Valley will be here again this yr for the Stadstad tourney. Fasching also paid UND a visit a couple weeks back.

My bad... I read somewhere online that he was, but obviously that was inaccurate, you know how some internet sites are these days. I wasn't paying that much attention to him at the game last night, but noticed their line in general. The pace of the game seemed fast to me, just a little sloppy...

Here is a little summary of players that could be future Sioux. I made this list from comments about players that have been on campus, have expressed an interest in North Dakota or vise-versa, or have other connections.

I think it is Taylor Cammarata.

Looks like Brett Malone (Brad's brother) is playing for the Moncton Wildcats in the QMJHL, which means no college hockey for him. Pretty impressive as he just turned 16.

http://www.moncton-wildcats.com/roster/index/team/58/sort/last

Doesn't mean anything but...

Moncton has a goaltender that measures 5'1" tall!

Holy crap!

He must be a stand up goaltender. If he went down in the butterfly, 3/4ths of the net would be open.
