  • University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010

    Well, I figured I'd start up a real offseason thread for the team.

    Tough game for the Sioux, but that's what happens when you don't show up for 60 minutes.

    Questions looming for the offseason...

    Does Chay apply for a medical redshirt?

    What recruits are coming in for next season?

    Does anyone leave early for the pro ranks?

    Was this season successful?

    The team should be awesome in 2010-2011 so long as key players don't leave during the off-season. I, too, am interested in who comes in as freshmen.

      This thread is better.

      The biggest question is what Chay does.
      I would love to see him come back, but we'll see. Will he want to start a pro career instead?

      We have some studs coming in next fall both offensively and defensively, so it will be a battle for playing time again.

        Who would have thought after Chay went down and the rough patch in Dec. and Jan. that this team would even have made it to a regional - and as the highest 2 seed! This team exceeded my expectations and I really liked how they didn't just lay down when they were down 3 going into the 3rd. The character of the guys and the fight until the end attitude should carry over into next season quite nicely. Considering, barring no defections, we will have 20 players back from this team next year...we should have a solid team that can make major noise and potentially get us #8.

        Congrats on a great season, boys. It's going to be a long 6 months....I can't wait to see what they can do next year!!

        (My guess is Chay is back next year. Call it a strong hunch...)

          Nice season boys. If you would've showed up at the regionals I don't think there was a team there that could beat you, but oh well, that's how it goes. Congrats on a nice season and a Broadmoor Trophy.

              Great season, wish it could have lasted a few games longer. Hopefully Genoway is back next year, would really like to see what this season should have been for him, it started out so well.

              Anybody know the rules on applying for a medical red shirt? Do you have to apply before a certain date, though, I don't suppose it would necessarily be announced if it already has, or is going to be done.

              Now for the worst part of the year, hoping your favorite players don't leave early.

                  I'm not going to sit here and pretend that it's ok that the Sioux laid down today. Why they didn't have the skill to win is beyond me. Why they didn't show up to play is also beyond me.

                  Flight risks include Kristo as well...I don't think he'll be an issue though. I could see all the guys returning next year.

                    Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010

                    Was this this season successful?

                    I'd have to say yes, it was. After losing Chay, the team went through a time where they couldn't play well. They were able to overcome that and step it up during the second half. I don't think anyone expected them to get home ice for WCHA 1st round playoffs, let along win the tournament. We can't say the Sioux had anything to do with SCSU beating WI, but they played hard and proved they were the better team at the time.

                    Playing 3 games in the 3 days is hard. If there were a week more of time between the conference tourneys and the start of the national tourney, would they have been better? Who knows.

                    At the beginning of the season, there were high expectations. They had to get adjusted, and I believe it was a success. One more trophy is always nice...what's better though is #8.

                      When you get old like me, you will have seen a lot more of this. We get caught up in our traditions and images of the way we imagine things to be, but at the end of the day, they are all still college kids, and you never really know what you'll see for sure....

                              The standard for "success" in Grand Forks and Denver is both simple and difficult: hanging another banner. Both programs are in a race to get to #8 first, and that's a good thing. But a season that fails to be a "success" based on that lofty criterion is not a failure. Fans of both programs are pretty spoiled and occasionally give off the aroma of entitlement. We aren't entitled to anything. We have to earn it.
