Nice to see my buddy Mason Morelli get an A on his jersey. Now he needs to get that shooting percentage up there a bit. Lots of shots and not many goals.

I agree its great to see him get the A. He has really changed from last season. I would say most improved play from last year. Hes more motivated and his pressure on the forecheck is amazing this year. Hes been robbed on a lot of amazing shots.

The game I went to he had his chnaces, a couple were grade A chances. I agree he is much improved from last year and I'm sure that makes Dean Blais happy.

Brian Hurley is a good friend of mine. Recently committed to Ohio State. Most likely will play there after HS.

Another move on the Force roster

ANDREW ZERBAN has been traded to the Brooks Bandits of the AJHL in return for a future consideration. I hate to see the kid go he looked great but just no goals or assists. I know we are down two defenceman.I hope we bring up a player to fill the void.

Yeah Zerban seems to keep getting traded. I hope the kid can find a place that can show his potential.

Im waiting to see if we make any more trades before the trade deadline

How has the ice been since NDSU is playing their basketball games there this year? I have heard rumblings that it has gotten softer than it already was.

I don't understand this trade from the Force. They are going to need a lot more than Jenkins if they want a shot at the playoffs.

They gave up Slattery who will be back next year, Jurusik who is ripping up the NAHL for Janesville and ranked 20th in CSS Midterm Rankings for NA goalies, and a 3rd Round Futures pick.

Drastic overpayment for a player I don't view as a difference maker.

The Slattery, Jurusik trade for Jenkins was a great idea. Slattery wasnt the greatest for the team. He had 4 goals in 30 games he looked lost every so often. As for Jurusik he didnt look that great in camp and also I think he will stay in the NAHL.

The Force has traded Matt McArdle A D to Sioux City for Jake McLaughlin A D. It looks like the Force little better depth at D.

Also to the concern about the Ice. Its been crappy since last season. Then you add putting a floor on top of it. It is soft because they mess with the Ice temp all the time. Plus they have it so in the arena but they want it fan friendly. Well hockey is a cold sport just worry about the ice so we can have good games. I'm sick of seeing the puck bounce around all the time.

Mikey Eyssimont has been traded to Sioux Falls for Alec Marsh, a 1st round Phase 1 pick and a 2nd round Phase.

At first i was mad but i see that we are looking to the future when marks leaves after this season. Marsh isnt a puck hog like Eyssimont.

From Brad Schlossmans blog:

The USHL playoffs are in full swing right now, but there’s been lots of buzz about coaching positions in the league.

Fargo is currently searching for its replacement for John Marks, who retired at the end of the season. All four coaches in franchise history have either played or coached at UND, and it appears that Fargo may be headed down that road again.

It sounds like Sioux Falls head coach Cary Eades is emerging as the top candidate in Fargo. Eades is currently in the middle of a playoff push with the Stampede. Eades would give Fargo another UND-connected head coach and another one with local name recognition.

Should Fargo hire Eades at the end of the season, there’s considerable buzz that former Colorado College coach Scott Owens would be a top candidate in Sioux Falls.
