SiouxScore Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Jack Ahcan of Burnsville is an undersized but dynamic skating dman, seems cut of the Chay Genowy cloth. I watched the Bville Edina game onThursday, and he really impressed me with his skill. A+ skating A hands B compete A hockey sense B shot He's a jr and the property of Cedar Rapids in the USHL. He is very small now, but if he hit 5'10 190 and spent 2 years in the USHL, he could be a great pick up What did you think of #7 Kieffer Bellows (Soph) of Edina? I haven't seen him but have heard he is really good and gonna be another great player to come out of Edina. Quote

I haven't seen him but have heard he is really good and gonna be another great player to come out of Edina. He was outstanding. Strong on his skates, finished every check. Good skill with a definite mean streak. Okay skater, good hockey sense. Quote

PHE Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Jack Ahcan of Burnsville is an undersized but dynamic skating dman, seems cut of the Chay Genowy cloth.

He is very small now, but if he hit 5'10 190 and spent 2 years in the USHL, he could be a great pick up I've seen Ahcan (pronounced "Ah-SHAWN") play several times. Yzerman19's assessment is spot on. It's too early too tell if he'll have Genoway's leadership abilities but he has similar on-ice skills to Chay. His development in the past year has been huge - last year he was very undersized and tentative; this year he's stronger, more confident and has taken over as the top D man on a very good Burnsville team. My guess is that he'll need only one year in the USHL. I don't know if the Sioux are interested in him (or vice versa) but historically Burnsville kids end up at Wisconsin (Dan Boeser, Tyler Barnes, Eddie Wittchow, Brock Boeser, et al). Quote
I Ranger Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 With Tambo leaving, I wonder if Hak and the boys go hard/harder after Cameron Hughes? Obviously it opens up scholarship money immediately that wasn't available. I would like to see the kid end up here just based on what I have read and the teams that are after him. Quote
SiouxScore Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Looked like there was a recruit on the bench pregame, seemed like he had good size anybody see who it might be or where he was from? Quote
smokey the cat Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 If I am not mistaken there are 18 scholarships to be spread out right? Does anyone really know who is on a fullride vs. partial? What I am thinking is someone like Jon Simonson really would not need the financial aid. It is not like his parents could not just write a check for tutition like they did for Dane and Morgan. Or his grandfather. 1 Quote

His parents, aunts, uncles, (maternal and paternal) maternal late grandparents are/were good friends of mine. I was really close to his grandparents. If you only have 18 scholarships to work with why use it on the person who can afford school? I really don't think Arch and Mac would mind at all. Do you even know who Dane and Morgan are? I use to play with them at their grandparents when they were little kids. Quote

siouxjoy Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 If you only have 18 scholarships to work with why use it on the person who can afford school? Because they earned it. If you deserve something great, shouldn't you get it? (My opinion, anyway) Quote
gfhockey Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 if a person was a true team playa and the knew their parents could afford it.....why not Quote
tnt Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Because they earned it. If you deserve something great, shouldn't you get it? (My opinion, anyway) True, but I think people have mentioned before that Minnesota might be able to gain depth on their squad if guys like Lou Nanne would/could pay for the scholarship of his grandkids to go to Minnesota without using up valuable scholarship dollars. Obviously it didn't work out like that, but if someone who gives to the University anyway would be able to save scholarship money and thus provide the team with possibly better depth, who knows if they would donate in that way as well.

Congrats! Maybe if the rules were enforced here the same for everyone you would be banned for violating them. Nope you can not discuss the issue but you can act like a girl in middle school real good. Quote
yzerman19 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 A scholarship should have NOTHING to do with family financial means. I have very strong opinions on that. 3 Quote

Exactly, however I don't think Jonny is coming on anything close to a full ride. I was trying to stick up for some buddies because there are a few losers on this site. Quote
Goon Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Tyler Sheehy, has UND in the mix. For whatever reason, the last link didn't work. Sheehy, meanwhile, said interest between him and the UW staff has picked up of late and he has the Badgers on a list of options that includes Boston University, Denver, Minnesota, North Dakota and Western Michigan. Sheehy, from Burnsville, Minn., said he took an unofficial visit to Madison prior to committing to Ohio State last year “and saw everything I needed to see.’’ He subsequently backed out of his pledge to the Buckeyes when a coaching change was made there. Sheehy, who has 24 points (12 goals, 12 assists) in 21 games for Waterloo, said he plans to take campus visits to BU, Denver, Minnesota and North Dakota before making his decision. Quote
