    Re: "Next Year" Begins Now: Michigan Tech 2010-11 Season Thread Part I

    We actually managed to bring our cardboard boat from freshman year back to the dorms, disassembled the outer frame (that's all the got wet) and we stored the inner filler (basically a couple layers of cardboard grid) for the next year....worked pretty well that second year too....until the outer layer took too much water

        Check this one out.

        DETROIT - For his youth career he wore Blue for the Calumet Ice Kings junior hockey program, last fall he was wearing Gold and Black with the Ojibwa Eagles, last winter he sported Blue, Grey and White with the Calumet Copper Kings.

        Last weekend and tonight he donned the Teal and Orange that NHL superstar Mike Modano wore as he debuted with Detroit Little Caesars and this weekend he'll be wearing Red, White and Blue as he dresses in a pair of exhibition games for USA Hockey's National Team Development Program.

        Ben Johnson decided he had an opportunity he couldn't miss last weekend when the coach of the Midget Major Little Caesars team called him and said he had an extra jersey in his trunk.

        The Calumet native played in a pair of games, scoring a goal and an assist, and will play again tonight as Little Caesars plays Detroit rival Belle Tire at 6 p.m. at Joe Louis Arena.

        After he takes that jersey off, he'll head to Ann Arbor where he'll get a chance to skate with the USA NTDP Under-17 team as they host the Traverse City North Stars.

        "It's a dream come true to be able to play for your country, it should be a fun experience and we'll see what happens after this weekend," Johnson said.

        The team hasn't made a commitment for the season to Johnson, and he hasn't made a commitment to Little Caesars either.

        In fact, according the Johnson, he could be right back in Calumet come November when the Copper Kings hit the ice with what could be the most talented Calumet team in more than a decade.

        The high school junior is currently attending Brighton High School outside of Detroit where he's living with relatives.

        "It was just a chance I couldn't pass up," he said.

        If he doesn't stick with the USA team he'll go back to playing with Little Caesars, but the call-up wasn't exactly a surprise.

        "Basically they talked to me earlier in the year and said if they're short of people I'm the first person they're calling," he said. "They asked if I wanted to come up for the weekend, and go up to the rink and get all my equipment and everything."

        Johnson told the team he was scheduled to play against Belle Tire Thursday night, and they told him to play that game before coming to Ann Arbor and playing Friday night at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube.

        The USA NTDP plays in the United States Hockey League, the highest level of Junior "A" hockey in the United States and has produced such NHL talents as Rick DiPietro, Erik Johnson, Jack Johnson, Patrick Kane, Phil Kessel and Jimmy Howard.

            I know it's alphabetical order and all, but when they list their NHL talents I'd choose someone besides Rick DiPietro to start such a list.

              True. So, this could be good for us, or very bad for us.

              Either he's going to choose Tech and is going to have awesome valuable experience OR he'll get noticed more easily by someone else.

                I doubt he'll wind up at Tech with the attention he's gotten. Especially if his reported 'official visits' to other WCHA schools are true.

                  I know a lot of you don't care if we don't recruit locally. But as a lifelong Copper King homer, it's going to seriously Nipissing me off if Johnson doesn't play at Tech. It's happened too many times already. This is where I draw the line with this coaching staff.
                  Well, either with failing to get Johnson, or show me why we don't need him.

                    Not even in the SEC can football coaches hold guns to kids heads to make em sign with them. The fans perhaps, but not the coaches.

                    And I wonder just how big of a dent into the budget it would be to try the old "Hookers and Blow" trick.

                      Would you commit to Tech after a night with a UP hooker? 'Cause that's about all our athletic department could afford.

                        However, in the same respect, you can only throw so much at him, legally.
                        Ultimately, Russell and his crew can only go so far, and if Johnson would rather play at a perennial powerhouse, that's that.

                          When the kid's stock rose as meteorically as it did, you just have to hope that he wants to play for his hometown school, in front of his family every home weekend, and have a shot at being the local star who helped turn the program around. With the way he held out for as long as he did, waiting to see what other offers would come his way, I think it's safe to say that he has no qualms about going away for school/hockey, and playing for a program who will get NCAA tourney exposure every season or nearly every season.

                            I get the impression that he's only going to stick around for a year or two at the most at whatever school he chooses.

                            Is that really what you want at MTU? A distraction that's going to vanish in a year?

                              What is the going rate on UP hookers any way?

                                That's probably what we would've gotten out of a certain recruit named Casey.
