Canuck

Recommended Posts

Former Sioux defenseman David Hale, Matt Greene and Matt Jones have all been named to the PlanetUSA Team for this year's AHL all-star game:

The Grand Forks fans can even check their progress by driving 2 1/2 hours north to Winnipeg. They can also get a look at the new MTS Centre. Below is a portion of the press release for this event:

"The event gets underway on Tuesday, January 31, with the 2006 CCM AHL All-Star Skills Competition at 7:00 p.m. (CT). The annual All-Star Game follows at 7:00 p.m. (CT) on Wednesday, February 1, and will be televised live in North America."

However, if Hale is still playing for the Devil's at that time (which by his play lately, I expect him to be), he'll be playing a home game with the Devils's that night. Article on Hale on the Devil's website. Here's the link.

Congrats to the three!

In the case of Jones and Hale, it might not be possible, but the Oilers MIGHT send Greene down to the AHL long enough for Matt to participate if they can spare him. With his recent play, however, I agree with AZSioux and say that none of them will actually be present for the game.

How about this? A month ago or so I was starting to wonder where all the Sioux players were in the pros. Then Bochenski gets back and and produces until injured. And Hale, Commie, Greene and Jones are all playing with the big clubs. Greene and Jones after so little time in the minors, too. Not bad.

Not bad indeed. Though I remember Commodore only spent half a season in the AHL before his first call up.

Did we expect anything less from the players who attended such an elite university? ;) It's great to see all of these guys doing so well. Though they won't play in the AHL All-Star Game, it's still a tremendous honor for them being selected to the team, and it makes UND look like an even stronger manufacturer of pro hockey players. Kudos to all of them!

Not after listening to Thorne and Clement comment on our D last season. I mean, how many times can you hear "Most NHL teams would LOVE to have a defensive Corps like the one the Sioux have." or something to that effect?

If you ask me, they can replay it as many times as they want. ;)
