        I honestly don't think Mike would leave the Gophers Hockey Program.
He knows how good he is but I doubt he would leave.  Why would he leave??
To play Pro??  Granted he could but I don't think he would be ready for it
yet.  He still can develope his physical Game, which he is doing this year.
I have to admit the boy is getting bigger and stronger.  He has the ability
to play pro as of right now but I hope he doesn't.  He had the opprutunity
to not play his senior year in High School and play somewhere else for money
but he turned them down.  Either way he goes, I'll still look forward to
watching him play. However, I would be very surprised if he left after this
season.
