  • Re: Michigan Tech 2011-12 Season Thread, Part II: You're gonna need a bigger bandwago

    Defenseman, Kent McPherson (Trenton Golden Hawks-OJHL) has committed to Michigan Tech. He played 9 games in QMJHL so he will have to sit out a season plus 9 games and be eligible for the 10th game of the 2013-14 season. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=45136 Looks good, has nearly a point per game including 30 goals in 78 games so far. More later when I get some time.

        Haha, I'd imagine you have to start somewhere for the next couple of years, I'd think that we'll start seeing Mel compete for "normal" recruits in a few years.
        MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

          He didn't practice with the team, only there for the games.
          Both were short term contracts

          L'Esperance signed a one week contract just to fill in for a couple of games while home on break

              To be clear, I did say that in jest; not to question Pearson's recruiting practices. This guy looks pretty good on paper, too bad we'll only get about 2 3/4 seasons out of him.

                  Yeah, I figured as much. Its hard to argue with his stats so far, although that league is tough as I said in my article to judge. There are only 7 defenseman in the top 25 in scoring that are even on Heisenberg's list.

                    Nice (but brief) mention of Pearson / MTU and the GLI during the Versus / NBC Sports telecast tonight. It sounded like the announcers talked to Pearson when they were in Detroit the day before to do the Blues v Wings game. All promotions are good promotions at this point.

                    And I'm all for overage Canadians - that was the basic team make up the last time we hosted playoffs in Houghton. So we have to take some ribbing from North Dakota. In a few days, they won't even have a name so they have bigger problems then us stealing their third line players. I hope their uniforms have "Thanks for 'Nothing' NCAA" as the cresting.

                      Perhaps they could take a cue from their old name and become the UND Flick-offs.

                            Any word on who is going to be in the lineup for MTU?

                            I think this game with MSU could be very entertaining.

                              sweet. Looks like the stream will be free. go huskies!
                              Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.
