As far as I know, Matt Cullen made it clear that he had no interest in
attending the University of Minnesota.  So far, Ryan Kraft is the only Moorhead
Spud to play for Minnesota.  Perhaps Cullen was tired of wearing the big 'M'
(Moorhead's hockey uniforms resemble Gopher uniforms, only in black and orange
rather than maroon and gold.) :-)

Tobey and Ian Peterson were recruited at the same time -- Ian is a year older,
Tobey graduated high school one year early.  There could be another brother of
whom I am unaware.
