Fetch Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 What a Great Story - anyone remember him ? http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/sto...p-4617560c.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxTupa Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 According to Brad's article, he played for Minot State - Bottineau after being cut from the MJHL 3 times. I'll have to check out this article as well. This Davidson guy gets great praise from his former coach. It won't hurt to have a monster forward like that.

Fetch Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Wonder if he has any little brothers ? Or could write a book on his tranformation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxTupa Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 When I read the article you posted, I was thinking the same thing. That's a million dollar book idea! Very well written by that columnist as well. And I think I get what you were asking now. Not if he played in ND before Maine, but whether Maine played here when he was in school. I believe he would have been playing the year UND won both games at Alfond (Stafford's PS OT GW goal ). Other than that I'm not sure.

sprig Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 What a Great Story - anyone remember him ? http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/sto...p-4617560c.html Bottineau is nothing special for hockey; odd schedule, play some club teams, teams like Minot St., some HS teams, and often have a few players that have played small ND town junior gold league. Unreal that a kid who played there ended up in the Frozen Four for Maine, then get his name on the SC in such a short time span. Bottineau was fired up to have the Cup make a trip there, wonder if Penner headed there after being in Manitoba with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not D1 hockey, but they have a successful program. The Lumberjacks have won the NJCAA National Championships 5 times: 1986, 1991, 1998, 2003, and 2007.

True, they have been good at the level they play at, but I know junior gold players that have played there, and they are light years from D1 caliber, which makes Penner's success even more unreal.

I don't think he did as I am 45 minutes from Bottineau for the summer and never heard anything about it including being 15 minutes from Bottineau around that time. Which Bottineau also plays some Canadian teams as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
