"Saponari will play this coming season with Dubuque of the USHL, as the Thrashers helped point him in that direction. He could have opted to play as an over-ager in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, but by playing in the USHL, he retains NCAA eligibility to play at another school in the 2011-12 season. (Saponari said his older brother will finish his education at BU, but not play hockey.)"

Dr. Baer, he would look good in the Cherry and White on the PP with JL next year, eh ?

That's my guess. He was drafted by Sudbury. I googled that but found nothing new on line.

Why is it good that PK will be an issue?

Got it. I thought that you meant "Penalty Kill" and although I agreed that may be an issue, it didn't seem like that would be a "good thing"..

I believe we can agree that these recent events way more than anything we have done on the ice have put our program on the national radar screen (jmo)This is a sign of a program on the way up.I also think in the next few years we will also see some undrafted players get signed to AHL contracts(not ECHL) right out of school Chase being the first.This kind of stuff doesn't go unnoticed by players,parents,advisors and most important NHL scouts.Its one thing to bring recruits to the Red Freak Out, its a whole other thing when you bring them in for a visit and point out 3 or 4 pro scouts sitting in the stands.Our summer of discontent has made some scouts sit up and take notice that I know.
