Nothing stated at the DIII version of Heisenberg's site. What is somewhat of interest is that UW River Falls (A D3 school obviously) has recieved a commitment from former (I guess) UMD recruit Mitch Kerns.

The Sicatoka Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 I had heard the same thing this summer that Alexander is not coming back because he wants to play more. I honestly figure that Chorney, Jones, Lee, Finley, and Radke are "gimmes" for the line-up every night this year. That would leave (junior) Bina, (freshman) Genoway), and (sophomore) Alexander for the sixth spot in the line-up. Alexander would probably be spending a lot of time in a suit and tie.

Not sure if you have to sit for D3? They are non-scholarshop. Also Hak saw a defender that was available at the last minute, nearby, when he needed one. The one comment that I would add is that he did look got when he played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 if you go down in division when transfering you do not have to sit a year out, you can play right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Alexander, if true, made the decision for what is best for him. He was never going to be a solid every game starter, so why sit it out? He will now be a big dog in a small pond and he'll more than likely play every game and a bigger role. In my opinion, good luck to him.

jk Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 One thing that this year's freshmen have going for them is that three of the five are a little older, with Genoway, Zajac and Vandevelde all having played an extra year of junior hockey after high school. While this doesn't offer any promises of spectacular play, it does at least suggest they will be ready to step in and be solid, which is not insignificant when you're speaking of lower line/pairing players (this year). Bishop, on the other hand, comes in as a true freshman, and may have more adjustment issues than the others. And then there's Forney, to me the real wildcard of the class. With the US Junior camp underway, we may finally begin to answer the question of what we have in Michael Forney. Last summer, he had a breakout performance at the US Selects, then followed it up by teaming with Kyle Okposo to form the US's dominant offensive duo at the U18 summer tourney. Since then, Okposo starred in the USHL and shot up the NHL draft charts, while Forney played an extended high school football season, then led his hockey team to the state tournament before a shoulder injury ended his season in the first game there. After rehabbing with Team USA and preparing to play in the Spring U18 tourney, he broke his ankle in a pretournament practice, which put him on the shelf for another couple months. So he's only played about three months of hockey in the last year, which is about nine months less than his peers. Is he ready for college? We should start to get an indication based on how he fits in at the summer camp currently underway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagard Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Is Brian Lee not at the WJC Eval camp? I don't see his name on the rosters? Team White Team Blue I wouldn't read much into it. Neither are EJ or JJ. I'd say barring injury the US defensive core will look almost identical to last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneksioux Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 This morning I was listening to my xm radio and they mentioned that 2 players from the Canadian WJC team are currently injured. One of them being Toews. Has anyone else heard this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneksioux Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 My bad, they were talking about John Tavares from the U18 team. It must be pronounced very similare to Toews. Kinda scary! I had to check TSN as I was a little worried, but now relieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
