Been a long time comin but Warner took the gophers out of his bio. We all knew but that solidifies he won’t be coming in next year.

Feel bad for the guy he had a very high ceiling coming out of high school. Injuries take a toll.

Injuries started happening about his Jr year at Cathedral, what could have been

Not a lot to this, but some might find it interesting.

“Minnesota Hockey Runs Through and Through For Oliver Moore”

Btw [mention]Jupiter[/mention] Cal Thomas has signed his NLI. Just noticed there wasn’t a lil star by his name on the recruits page.

Moore had 2 goals tonight

Two Moore goals!

It looks like the Gophers have 7 forwards and 3 defense coming in 2022. Most likely losing around 7 or 8 not counting if any enter the transfer portal. 2022 looks like really good high end talent, even better than last year's recruits.

Lamb putting together a sneaky good rookie season in the USHL. Excited for that man to come to campus come 2023.

Heisenberg site has him incoming 2023

Feel like this discussion has been had in this thread before. Those in the know about gopher hockey expect him this fall.

The only way he goes back to juniors imo is if we return LaCombe and Johnson in which case he won’t see much ice time and might what an extra year of juniors. But definitely expect Thomas this fall.

Sounds like a solid kid with a good head on his shoulders.

And a helluva hockey player :dup:

Yeah, that’s always a plus

I love Craig Button doing the color on the U18 games.

Team USA has found it's groove in the 2nd period today.

Snuggerud with a goal from Cooley in the 2nd.

Beyond excited for our crop of USA players we got coming in

So it looks like Jimmy Clark is coming back to Edina for his senior year. Hoping he does the Mittelstadt plan of USHL before and after the high school season so he gets junior experience before coming in fall 2023.

For those who have a subscription to the Athletic. Here is a feature on Cooley. :M:

At this point I'd say he could use a full year of USHL after next year. Use the transfer portal to plug a hole for a year if you need to.

Finally got around to reading this and i'm even more confident he will be an excellent player here. Even if only for 1 season.

U18 game starting on NHLN now. (WFH is nice for some things...)

Lucius to a Michigan recruit 1-0 in the first minute

Snuggerud to Will Smith (not that one) 2-0. This will probably be ugly.

Actually got to watch the USA Jr. Gophers today and oh my are they skilled. The one that gets overlooked the most is the younger Lucius. Boy does he have the puck on a string. Excited for all of them.

Canada not looking that great?

Canada doesn't bring strong teams to the U18 Worlds.

Canada won the previous tournament in 2021.
