siouxguyinstpaul Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 According to Brad's blog he will search for another school. Good luck in the future Hunter! I bet that he goes back to Alaska and either UAA or UAF as they both recruited him pretty heavily - must be a tough decsion to leave now though and then forgo NC$$ hockey next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that you are correct that he transfers to either UAA or UAF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxnami Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Good luck, Hunter! I wish these times had been better for the Sioux. I hope you have a GREAT time with Vernon and end up at UND again. What is really too bad is that he might have seen more playing time over the next 3 series.

Most of this years team doesn't seem to be playing NCAA hockey this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux-cia Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 see ya, wow very interesting...............he was a late siging recruit correct?? just cant remember I believe he was a late recruit. I know his dad told us when we were in Alaska that Hunter had planned to stay in the Juniors another year before UND contacted him. He was very honored to be asked. It also sounded like his dad didn't expect Hunter to be on the ice very much because of all the talent on the team and his only being a Freshman. So, I'm surprised that Hunter is leaving. Good luck, kid. It was nice to have you here for this short time. I wish you great success where ever you end up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDog Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Didn't Fylling do the same thing? I don't think the NCAA splits hockey up into 1/2 years, he will have three years when he comes back. Hopefully things work out and he is back next season. Personally I think he would be better off developing in GF, even if he is not playing in games. It seems to have worked out pretty well for Brad Miller. Yes, Fylling did. And he came back like gang-busters. Sort of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7>4 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Big loss. This kid is going to be an impact player at some point in his college career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Big loss. This kid is going to be an impact player at some point in his college career. i thought he would be a good one as well. there is always a side to a story we wont know and thats ok but you just dont leave a top program to play juniors then look for another team. it wouldnt raise a red flag if he was coming back to the sioux.

choyt3 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 yes it is, so lets move on....will this open up another recruit spot for next season? hope so How about for an overager in the BCHL (or any other junior league) that is about to turn 21 that could come in over Christmas? (I don't have anyone specific in mind.) There are always kids that blossom later on and "missed the boat" age-wise to get recruited for a scholarship. Just throwing it out there. Maybe Hak will discuss it tonight on the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxforeverbaby Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I wish he would have stayed. I liked what I saw of him. Best of Luck to him, and hopefully we can see him again some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA Hockey Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I hate to see the kid go because I really did like what I saw from him in the few games that he played. I really felt he could be one of those four year impact players. What I wonder now is if he will come back to UND or if this will open up a roster spot. If it does open a roster spot than someone like Bruneteau or a potential recruit could come here next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarzUND Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 according to Pointstreak, the Lincoln Stars have added Hunter Bishop to their roster. Pointstreak- Hunter Bishop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxforeverbaby Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Lincoln doesn't have them on their roster yet. http://www.lincolnstars.com/players.htm and neither does Vernon http://www.vipers.bc.ca/team.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farce poobah Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 It takes a lot of maturity to make a move like this, a good sign that Hunter Bishop will be successful in whatever he chooses to do. I hope he finds his way back to UND's hockey team, but in any scenario, I'd like to send my Best Wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiSioux Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Bishop Discuss Decision Was this a difficult decision or did you maybe have an idea this was coming? Bishop: It definitely wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. I'd say it was building. But leaving a school like North Dakota... it's the toughest decision I've ever had to make in my life.

StarzUND Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 If Lincoln does/did add Hunter it would take a day or two to update the website, and I'm sure it's the same for Vernon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxmama Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Didn't I say he was going back to Vernon in the 1st post? Sorry, the only link I had was the cell phone call I had with his parents. Anyway, Hunter made a very difficult decision, but he will be successful with his new (old) adventure.
