The problem with Dave Spehar and Chris Locker is that they both were very 1
dimentional
"Big Fish" in a relatively small pond.  Both of these players would have
benefitted greatly from leaving a very controlling high school coach early
and moving to the USHL.
 
Dave Spehar has never been anything more than  a marginal Division 1 player
and to this author not a disapointment , as I believe he has actually
developed as expected and has just reached his rather limited potential.
 
CHris Locker is another very 1 dimentional player who was not mature enough
athletically or socially to compete at the division 1 level.
 
Woog's third recruiting strike is Johny Pohl.  His skating ability  is so
poor he can barely get from one end to the other in a shift.  Without the
puck anywhere except within 25 feet of the net, he is absolutely worthless.
But in Woog's defense, he was Mr. Hockey Minnesota.  Another very 1
dimentional limited potential player that epitomizes the mediocrity of
Minnesota High School hockey and the gophers.
