A CC fan posted on one of the CC FB pages that the Tigers just lost a prized recruit and is going to North Dakota instead. He didn’t say the name of the player. Anyone know who he’s talking about?

Kid's Twitter background is a picture of, who I assume is him, as a kid, holding a Sioux jersey up.

Hedquist committed to UND back in December 2019.

I'd be surprised if it was Hobie. He has been committed to UND for quite a while now.

That's what I thought too, but then I thought if a fan was just venting about the state of CC hockey and mentioning losing good recruits, he might have used that as an example of why they can't seem to get over the hump.

I was thinking if they’re just now finding out about Hobie’s decommitment, they’re really behind...

Looking at Heisenberg's list of CC recruits, I am trying to figure out who in the eyes of a CC fan would be considered a "prized" recruit.

You are correct.  Magnuson was a winger.  Not sure why I thought he played defense.

Fester played defense, but only about 3/4 of the games that season.  Who am I forgetting?

You had it right the first time.  Magnuson played D that year.  In fact, if you add up the games missed by Stone, Whitsitt, Ludwig, Patrick, Fester and Zombo that year, you will see that those six defensemen missed 22 games, which is exactly the number played by Magnuson.  CHN also has Magnuson on the roster as a D-man that year.

Given the state of the program, I don’t see it being very easy to win too many recruiting wars with the more successful NCHC programs.

I think it’s in the eyes of the beholder. Clearly our recent crop of recruits haven’t been very effective so what might be a prized recruit at CC might not necessarily be considered a prized recruit elsewhere.

Didn’t CC have a highly rated class last year?

Supposedly. I guess we shouldn’t expect them to totally be lighting it up. Hopefully they’ll develop.

Yeah, usually you might have one freshmen make an impact, but most of the time you need to count on upperclassmen until they come around. It doesn’t help that other than Cruikshank they aren’t getting a lot of help in that regard.

Anyone know Cole Sillinger’s plans.  He is a 2003 that is putting up 1.5 ppg with Sioux Falls, and almost a goal a game.

Never mind, looks like he has already played Major Junior with Medicine Hat.

Wish UND would have got him and his brothers

Snuggerud commits to Minnesota

With that name it was a gimme. 

I remember a Snuggerud getting "snuggies" from Ed Belfour back in the day. 

 

A Belfour snuggie involves the narrow blade end of a goalie stick and the region immediately below and behind an opposing player's protective cup. You stood on the top of Ed's crease and you got a  snuggie. It was named that because first time I saw it Dave Snuggerud was the recipient.  

 

PS - Ed would spend hours in his dorm room with a goalie stick working on speed, accuracy, and power for the technique.

I think Berry should take a shot at Levi.

Have we ever had a Quebecois player? Wolanin doesn't count.

ND Bantams wrapped up last week, anyone hear anything about any of the AA/A kids to keep an eye on, or that were being looked at into high school as potential.

Think MN still has a few weeks left of the Bantam season.

U of Michigan has 3 prospects projected in the top 6 of this mock draft. That's insane!  I don't see any UND recruits.  Who's our highest projected draftee for this draft?

... and one more in the top six that hasn't arrived yet, unless Luke Hughes has since chosen to go the Major Junior route.  Managing a roster that will have that frequent turnaround has got to be tough, especially if many end up being one and dones.   I imagine communication on what their plans are is crucial in knowing what your roster is going to look like, but we've seen sometime the NHL teams can change their minds rather quickly.
