News and Notes

Nate Schmidt, a Fargo futures pick, has committed to Minnesota.

Chris Heisenberg reports that Des Moines defenseman, J.P. Maley, has committed to Northeastern for next fall.

Time for Stastny to man up.

The chains are off Rafalski.

Okposo assigned to Bridgeport.

Connolly brothers set to face off in USHL.

UNO's Koehler is taking big shots.


The USHL also announced the All-Star game rosters will be announced this week. And with that, I will give more predictions and see how I stand from my early season predictions.


Also, I have been toying with an idea of having a fan from each USHL team do a write up for their respective team for the blog. The entries would be posted each Monday. The article could include match-ups that week, perhaps a preview of the match-ups, any news about the team/players, and any other interesting facts. I'd really like for each team to have a representative and for this to be a big hit. If you're interested, please email me at ryan171120@yahoo.com.

Just remember, it's not really an all-star roster... it's also prospects - so it's who the scouts want to see. And they'll have to pick someone from GB with the game there, despite the record.
