sioux7 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I was at the USA Cup International Hockey tournament in Blaine this weekend with my daughters and before one of their games saw a guy with some Wild breezers on and was skating around, shooting some pucks etc...basically getting a workout. I talked to one of the rink managers and he said that it was Travis Roche and that he regularly rents ice for himself. Anybody have any idea the status of Roche? Quote

Roche recently signed for two years with Phoenix Quote
siouxnami Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I heard he was pursueing a PhD in Physics at MIT... Quote
redwing77 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I heard he was pursueing a PhD in Physics at MIT... Nope, according to this 2003 interview, he's becoming a herpetologist/crocodile hunter. Quote
MafiaMan Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Nope, according to this 2003 interview, he's becoming a herpetologist/crocodile hunter. Pardon me for being not-so-smart, but I hope a herpe-tologist isn't what I think it is. Quote
pro17 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Think he still lives in Woodbury. He hit a hole-in-one and won 20,000 dollars (canadian) a couple weeks ago in Alberta. Quote

BringDeanBack Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 If he starts his career with Phoenix rather than the wild, he probably makes the NHL. The Wild screwed him over in my opinion. Quote

It's a good thing I already don't like the Wild or their handling of Roche would give me a reason to dislike them... For now, the WIld just suck and Roche wouldn't have done any good to correct their suckitude. Mafiaman- $17?!?! Man, the Canadian dollar has gained a little on the US dollar as of late, apparently.
