Nice interview with Toews featuring the EA Sports 2011 cover and video from the video game promo. Toews mentioned he will be in back in Winnepeg soon and may be blaying there in a charity hockey game. Not worried about any cover curse. Not after the 2010 cover athelete, Patric Kane, scored the Stanley cup winning goal.
Also NHL draft may feature several WCHA players in 1st round.

Nice award for Dave Tippett - NHL coach of the year!
Tippett wins Jack Adams Award
UND's Dave Tippett is the NHL coach of the year.
Tippett received the Jack Adams Award on Wednesday night in Las Vegas, becoming the first former Sioux player to earn the honor.
Tippett, in his first season with the Phoenix Coyotes, led the bankrupt franchise to their best season ever. Upon accepting his award, Tippett even cracked a joke about the Coyotes, who are owned by the NHL.
"This is one of those nights where a lot of people stand up and thank owners," he said. "I would do that, except I don't know all 29 of them."
Tippett also thanked video coach Steve Peters, who also is a UND alum.
Tippett will be honored with a spot on UND's NHL wall in the basement of Ralph Engelstad Arena.
UND and Maine are the only schools to have produced both an NBA and NHL coach of the year. John Tortorella and Rick Carlisle attended Maine. Phil Jackson and Tippett are UND's guys.

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
I am just so surprised, how after listening to UND fans say over and over how UND has had more talent for the last ten years, including Jonathan Toews, and god himself, that's right, god himself, that Minnesota managed to win Two National Championships in that time, and UND, none. Kinda makes all the crap that was shoveled at Woog kinda undeserved if UND and hakstool can't win with even more talent, now doesn't it. We know the cup is coming to Minnesota for sure. but it would be pretty funny if JT hauls the cup to Canada, and spites North Dakota.

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
Sadly, that would be MN's greatest hockey accomplishment of the last 3 seasons. Unless you count Final Five Participant as an "accomplishment".
Of course, they didn't even get that honor last year.

Actually, since I love all Minnesota hockey, I would say that the two Ncaa championships won by UMD would be the best accomplishments. Of course, any http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockey_Day_Minnesota, or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_high_school_boys_hockey would still be better than any day that has ever happened in North Dakota to begin with.

The best thing to happen to UMN hockey in the last 3 seasons is a couple championships won by UMD's women's team.

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
TSN's Bob McKenzie really gave UND props after Forbort's selection saying that the program is a pro player factory and knows how to develop players. Great to see Nelson be the last pick in the first round.
It's gonna be fun to watch these kids next year.......

I suppose those type of quotes are better than having NHL teams pull their players out of other schools at midseason because they don't like the "development" being done there.

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
Happy has a bit of a point saying many of the best hockey players in the country come from Minnesota. How you can have all that talent with such a large flagship institution and consistently fail to get past the first round of the NCAAs is a real mystery. Unless the Suck Factor is just too great to overcome.

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
You do realize your somewhat taking a dig at your own team? How can the Gophers consistently suck when they continually get the cream of the crop when it comes to recruits. That's a bigger mystery.

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
Both Forbort and Nelson were drafted by teams who moved up to get them.
the Kings traded up to get Forbort. He's a big dude! Can't wait to see him play.
