siouxtatoo42 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Yeah, where did the other one go? it's here and it's closed. Not a very productive discussion happening and closed for good reason. Quote
redwing77 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 it's here and it's closed. Not a very productive discussion happening and closed for good reason. And, based upon several factors that pertained with the last one, I'm sure the Administrator is keeping an eye on this one as well. Quote

choyt3 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 nice post you fkn tool nice screen name as well d-bag You'd think a clown that comes on this board under the guise of a pro-Sioux nickname would at least learn to spell it before registering. souixrock=prpichrocks_19=one of this year's players sitting in their dorm room having some fun on the message boards Quote
redwing77 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Well, we haven't even filled one page of posts on this thread and I think I can see the end of the line ahead. Quote
stafford_rules Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 "souixrock=prpichrocks_19=one of this year's players sitting in their dorm room having some fun on the message boards" That's freakin' hilarious. I can imagine it so well....... Quote
wakeboarding_crazed Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Thanks Prpich, for the four years of great memories. So many of them to think about, the DU Water Bottle incident, the fight with Peluso, his antics throughout his career have really emblazoned you into glory in UND hockey history. Forever missed as the agitator of all agitators, and a super great guy off the ice. Wonderful to kids and others around him, a classic role model. I really hope to see this man succeed in whatever he does after UND. The best thing would be him signing a pro contract somewhere, even hopefully the NHL or AHL. Good luck Prp!! Quote

You live a sad life Quote
yzerman19 Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 I think Mike would love that anti-Sioux people hate him and rip on him, Like the idiot poster. I can see that big sh*t eating grin on his face reading that. It is much better to be hated by opponents than to have them be indifferent. Mike is one of the best instigators and really got into other players' heads. He may not have scored 20 goals, but his antics probably contributed to mental mistakes and penalties that did. I will miss him. I've also heard that he is a great guy off the ice. In a lot of ways I'd rather have that said about me than anything else. Thanks Mike!! Quote
BismarckFan Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 I sure wish I could find the words to express the gratitude I have for what Mike Prpich has done for Fighting Sioux hockey during the last four years. His sense of humor will probably be the most remembered quality; I don't think one can under estimate the positive impact Mike had on the game by constantly reminding his teammates and all of us that, when all is said and done, it's a game... and to be the best, one must enjoy the game and relish each little victory. His smile is infectious! Mike Prpich, thanks for the memories! We love you! Is there any way we can find to keep you on campus???Shouldn't our Fighting Sioux have a coach in charge of head-games!! They do it in the olympics?? I welled up good when you came out to salute us, we should be the ones saluting you. Boy we'll miss you on the ice... Quote
Prpichrocks_19 Posted April 15, 2006 Author Posted April 15, 2006 By the way Hakstol said that Mike is planning to go pro after this summer. He wasn't quite sure where though!! Quote
AZSIOUX Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 By the way Hakstol said that Mike is planning to go pro after this summer. He wasn't quite sure where though!! he will be signed after the summer. there are a few teams that like him Quote
Prpichrocks_19 Posted April 16, 2006 Author Posted April 16, 2006 he will be signed after the summer. there are a few teams that like him Do you know who those teams are? Quote
woodbutcher Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 Word here in Bakersfield is that Bob Bartlett (Head of Hockey Ops) is signing a Sioux player for next season. Thats from his mouth, so take it for gospel. Quote

rochsioux Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 Rumour I have heard is that Mike will play with the Iowa Stars in the AHL. Not sure if this is true, can't find any confirmation. Just found it, Mike had an assist last night, playing on a Amateur Tryout Contract. Mike Prpich Good Luck Mike!! Quote

Don't mean to sound totally naive' but what exactly is an 'Amateur Tryout Contract'? I bet it's gonna be hard playinging in front of a small home crowd after playing at the Ralph; Attendance: 5,542.

Prpichrocks_19 Posted April 16, 2006 Author Posted April 16, 2006 I think it is going to be amazaing watching Prp play for an nhl team FEAR PRPICH Quote
rochsioux Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 THANKS rochsioux!! I'm glad to see Mike's being considered. Don't mean to sound totally naive' but what exactly is an 'Amateur Tryout Contract'? I believe it is past the deadline for teams to sign players unless they were draft picks or will go directly to the NHL. I don't think Mike was drafted so he can't sign a professional contract with an AHL club. Here's some info I found: At this time of year, AHL teams cannot sign players to professional tryout contracts because it is past the clear day roster deadline (March 13). Because the AHL is a development league, teams are still allowed to sign draft picks and prospects under an ATO and the players are eligible to compete the remainder of the regular season and playoffs. I think once the season is over the player is still a free agent and can sign with anyone. Maybe someone else out there knows more on how this process works. Quote
dagies Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 After playing in college for 4 years I have to wonder if Prp jumped the boards for his first shift, dropped his stick, gloves and helmet and begged ANYONE to have a go, just because he could. Quote
