    That's essentially my point. The ruling is severe enough to discourage any player from taking that step to play in Major Juniors and later changing his mind. However, as I mentioned, I think UND's Colby Genoway did play a game or two in Major Juniors and lost a year of eligibility.

      He never played a game IIRC...just practiced with the MJ team.
      I could certainly be wrong though.
      I like chocolate milk and Kate Beckinsale and Lauren Graham and Brooke Burke and Elisha Cuthbert and Eva Longoria.

        Lofquiist will always be remembered for the "earcup" goal(aka where was my Wisconsin offer?) at the Kohl Center. Seemed like a solid prospect then, but never scored a goal since then and his play went to a complete downward spiral after that moment. Talk about karma.....

          Don't all North Dakota players first play major junior in Canada?

              not to nitpick, but I believe Lofquist did the jersey pop. The earcup will always be remembered for Kessel.

              I wonder what he is going to do. Can't be too many teams lining up to get him to join. But hope he catches on somewhere.

                You're responding to a DU fan. Most of their players play a few seasons in the ECHL before appearing on the DU campus.

                I remember that game. I believe he did both the jersey pop and the earcup right after his goal. Seriously. Talk about blowing your goal celebration load all at once.

                  OK. I was just going by what I had heard from the king of this board, guy named Smiley, or, Friendly, or something like that.

                    Well, when you score as rarely as Sam did you have to celebrate when you can.

                      Yeah he did both and Coach Lucia was not happy after he did that from what I remember.

                        He indeed did both. That was when Lucia finally stepped in and told the guys to knock it off.

                          Caught Lou Nanne with Bump on the drive home. Lou speculated, and was confirmed by someone who claimed to be Sam's uncle, that he left because of playing time and this was a decision long in the making.

                          I guess I don't understand how playing time could be a concern when you play all but a couple of games as a freshman, but maybe that's just my rational side talking.

                          Either way, best of luck to the kid. I hope this decision works out for him.

                            There's been a few. More recently the kid that went to Duluth and had to sit out a year comes to mind. The name escapes me right now. I'm pretty sure Tech and Maine have had one as well.
