        I am going to have to agree with you, granted Nick has only one goal
this season but he is one of the best stick handlers in the game.  I have
never seen any one pull moves like he can do.  The next step is for him to
be able to finish these awesome moves.  I would imagine it would be
something he can and will do, if not in college then defenitly in the NHL.
He also is a very hard worker on the ice, never letting back, one of the
more aggressive players on the ice when it comes to the puck.  Nick is an
exciting player to watch and I feel he will make the gopher hocky games even
more exciting with his moves.
