The Sicatoka Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 2 hours ago, The Sicatoka said: I wonder if this is a "tell" on why whoever played last season. Did the coaches believe we were being shoved around and tried to go as big as they could most nights? Last year it was 6-4, 6-2, 6-2, ... 5-10, 5-9, 5-9, 5-8, 5-8. (from UND roster) Now it's 6-1, 6-2, 6-1, 6-4, 6-1, 6-3, ... 5-10, and maybe 6-2. (from Elite Prospects) It's no longer "maybe". Last year 5-10 was top half of heights; this year it's the shortest.

Who were the 5'8 defensemen? I'm getting this for our D last season based on the roster 6'5 (Kleven), 6'2 (Sidorski, Moore), 6 (Johnson), 5'11 (Farmer, Jandric, Frisch), 5'10 (Bast) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 The "official" 2022-23 UND put out was: Player Height (inches) Sidorski 74 (6-2) Farmer 68 Moore 74 Johnson 69 Jandric 69 Frisch 70 Bast 68 (5-8) Kleven 76 Comments last fall were guys had shrunk. I'd copied that data off a UND site or release last fall to a spreadsheet; now it doesn't match what FightingHawks.com shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpudsSioux Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 That's funny. Weird that there would be such a difference from the online roster. Hope the new guys don't shrink when they get to Grand Forks, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scpa0305 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I have zero idea if Lawson Body would be an option for Bubs but he just had a really nice playoffs for his NA team, won the chip tonight. In looking at his numbers, they’re really solid and he’s be on the older side. Local too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great numbers (albeit in an iffy league), captain too. I just listened to his post championship game interview…very well spoken kid. I’d be perfectly fine taking a kid like that to fill a depth role. But, if he’s thinking an Ivy that obviously makes sense too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 The kid has genetics for both sport and academics (parents are accountants!). If he gets an Ivy shot more power to him. https://und.edu/directory/assion.lawsonbody https://und.edu/directory/laurence.lawsonbody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 WLB is 21 now. He needs to find a home for this fall or he starts losing NCAA eligibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NA is not a really good league but it’s solid. The very top end teams could hang a bit in the USHL. They’re missing stars but the league is super old. WLB has offers unless his skating is really bad or something. Probably just weighing his options I would assume. There are at least 5-6 D1 committed on most NA teams and Oklahoma had 8. WBL was a top player on that team. He has offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustnyou Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Can anyone think of a player UND has taken directly from the NAHL? i cant think of any off the top of my head. A bunch have went NAHL to USHL to UND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 NAHL? Off the top of my head ... Kaleb Johnson ... but goalies are different. What say you @Wilbur. Similar but different? Drake Caggiula (OJHL, Canadian Junior B). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been some other non-goalies but most either didn’t play thru their senior year or they played minimal roles. I think UND is more likely to grab guys from the MJHL over the NAHL. We’ve gotten some good depth guys there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
