Hat-trick tonight for Camrose and he now has something like 38pts in 27 games as a 16 yr old! Very impressive numbers for the young guy.
Has anyone seen him play lately??

PuckFan01 said:He visited the University of Minnesota this past summer so I would bet if he goes the college route, Minnesota would be a team he'd be seriously considering.

Nobody is there, no practices, no players, no games.

gb701 said:don't count on Minnesota although they have a great program - he can go wherever he wants.
PuckFan01 said:Just to make sure you aren't misunderstanding my comment, I didn't say Minnesota is his 1st choice or a lock to land him. Just noted that they are very likely to be one of the schools he seriously considers and he visited them already.

VOB said:Good bet that you will him see in the WHL next year playing with the phenom Brule. Bertram has not accelerated and will have to play another year of tier II hockey before he can play in the NCAA. The way he is playing, I cannot see him spending another year in the AJHL or any other tier II league for that matter.
gb701 said:I previously posted but decided to simply say that I think Dan has all his options open to him - don't count anything out.
PuckFan01 said:Most of the players work out and skate on campus during the summer, the coaching staff's office is in the arena so they spend a lot of time at the rink and with less activity going on, a player is able to get a more in depth guided tour.
A lot of unofficial visits for college hockey players happen in the summer because that is when kids have the time to travel without interrupting any school or missing any hockey games during their season.
Stupid to visit in the summer? If you say so.
Schlep Rock said:And I have a kid scheduled for 2 fly down's in the coming month and the teams could have done it with him over the summer but they wanted him to come in and see everyday campus life plus what a game day is like in the college.
So yes, to me, and obviously others... fly down's during the summer are stupid.
WCHA Fan said:I agree, if you want to sell a kid on everything the school has to offer, bring him down during the season.
The difference is Bertram's visit was an unofficial visit and the visits you are talking about are official visits. The University of Minnesota didn't pay for Bertram's visit. He isn't old enough for the school to actively recruit him. IIRC, Bertram was already in town for a hockey camp or something of that sort. The Bertram's most likely contacted the coaches and told them they are interested in seeing what the school has to offer and that is how the visit got set up.
