He isn't a 200ft player, Parron is like Lucius all offense 0 defense 

Was this true this year too? And if so, why didn’t Michigan discipline him.

 

that’s the thing with some of these programs like Michigan / BU etc.

 

tons of elite players but it doesn’t translate to winning in NCAA tourney if they don’t get buy in.

He would jump the drop pass breakouts like UND did a year ago all the time

UND-3

Michigan-10

BU-9

Is this a "top Minnesota prospect" by Minnesota standards or by North American standards? The former is a solid player but often overrated, the latter is an elite, Boeser type player

Think MN born, played Tier 1 AAA, maybe at a school 60 miles south of Minneapolis with an impressive list of former players now in the NHL. 😏

EJ confirmed to return for his junior season

Would this kid have to decommit first?

I bet he uses it and stays too. 

He's coming back. The boys see him as a 'glue guy' for practice & the locker room, but not going to have his ego hurt if he doesn't see ice time. Very solid goalie coming out of Shanley & early at Duluth, but now, he knows the lineup & as a lifelong Sioux fan (like Strinden), he will give everything in practice to make the team better for Friday & Saturday night.

Things can always change, but what Zellers said after the game was encouraging:  "We'll be back. We'll for sure be back with this core group."  I hope that he DOES come back.  I love his play and his attitude.

Agree on the quote, but I haven't seen an interview from Schloss or Herald to confirm Zellers is coming back. Saw the Reschny story, did I miss a confirmation somewhere?

Seems like the UND Hockey account is releasing returners slowly.
Their account did Reschny yesterday...then Emery today.  Wonder if Schloss is doing an article after each of those confirmations?  
If that's the case, hopefully we hear on Zellers in the next day or so.

Talk about great publicity. Awesome article

I'm surprised some of these details, like the Navy SEALS training, weren't previously published in an article by Schloss.

This would track. Zellers is trying to recruit him to UND if you look at the comment section of Fitzhenry’s latest instagram post.

If Fitz is wanting to play on a line with Zellers, we better hope that Will wants to stay thru his JR season.

Zellers posted on instagram. He’s coming back.
