    Two new recruits for SNC:
    http://www.d3hockey.com/recruits/2015/NCHA

    Eight of the 10 are 6' or taller....
    With Kujava and Black, we may suit up the two shortest goalies in the West...although that has not hurt us in the past...
    with Jake, Skudder, and others....

    Re: St. Norbert 2015-16 Season

    Getting excited for the start of another season!

    Is there talk of a third goalie for SNC this season? I expected Cogs to bring in two goaltenders to compete with Kujava, although I do think Kujava played pretty well once he settled in and knew he was "The Guy." Last season reinforced how important having three tenders on the roster can be. Any word if the Swedish kid (Wahlberg?) who left at semester break last season with potential plans of returning to SNC has done so?

    edit: That looks like a negative http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=61752

    double edit: Also forgot about Kevin O'Hara. It is possible he showed enough in practice at the end of last season to stay up on the Varsity team as the #3.

      Couple updates:
      1 -- All ten recruits are listed in the SNC housing site...so, I assume, they are all on campus.
      2 -- It does not appear that either Wahlberg or Lidberg returned.
      3 -- I heard that one of our goalie recruits got a 'late' D1 offer...Black had a solid final Jr. season in Texas and should compete for the top job with Kujava..
      I am thinking that one of the two JV guys will fill the 3rd goalie slot.
      4 -- In searching for info on new recruit Wahlrab, he has a history in both the BCHL and the NAHL....spent a little over one season in the BCHL and part of his final Jr. season in the NAHL...looks to be a very interesting prospect..

        SNC has picked up another late recruit, as it was confirmed tonight that Jake Larson has joined the Green Knights for the upcoming season.
        He played last season for the Cilliwack Chiefs in the BCHL. Looks to be another offensive prospect....put up nice numbers during his Jr. career.

          Interesting...looks like he was originally headed to play at Alaska Anchorage next season but something must have changed and now he's starting college one year earlier.

            Also looks like he perhaps had exhausted his Juniors eligibility, so I'm not sure where UAA expected him to play this season.

            Honestly, regardless of any remaining Junior eligibility, to me the decision between playing for UAA and SNC is a no-brainer. Especially for a Minnesota kid...

              He could redshirt at UAA, but he has an opportunity to play immediately for a national contender.

                  Hearing that the SNC roster will consist of 27 players: 14 returning and 13 new arrivals (12 freshmen and one soph. transfer),,
                  Ten of the 13 are 6' or taller..will result in a much taller lineup compared to recent seasons..

                            OK, divisions I can handle, even if unbalanced. That said, inherently (slightly) unfair that 3 of 5 teams will advance in one division (60%), while only 3 of 6 (50%) get in for the other.

                            More unfair, is poor MSOE. I get the idea of alternating the number of teams in the divisions to balance out the above, but that means both times - if I reading this right - MSOE is in a six team division. Talk about a short straw.

                            The thing that bothers me the most, though, is the 2+ format for the semis, but not the quarters and finals. I don't mind the single game for the title, but then it makes no sense to me to have the 2-plus-mini for the semis.

                            As it is the #1 will have a big advantage in not playing on Wednesday. But isn't that all more the reason to make it just one game Saturday??? Or is the best of 2 designed to give the lower seed a better chance somehow? I just don't get this. Help me on this...

                              You're the one who routinely posts links to SNC stories that originate from your own place of employment, so surely you don't need to solicit answers on a dying message board. If you guys had an ounce of proactivity coursing through those veins you'd be all over this and wouldn't have to come in here and beg to be spoonfed by someone who actually expended some effort to figure out what's going on. Go ask a few questions. The answers ain't that hard to find on this one. Love the Ziedins sweater.
