I would like to know what Gopher hockey fans think of the upcoming season, recruits, redshirts, and current players: Personally, I am anxious to see Clint Johnson play. He is a 2nd round draft pick who was obviously redshirted this year. He will definitely add size to the forwards. I am also anxious to see our goaltending and how they perform. I read in the Trib that Woog is going to split Moen and DeBus. If Moen performs as he did in hte 93-94 season, there should be no problems there. As for the forwards, Brian Bonin, Ryan Kraft, and Nick Checco will be counted on to have big years. Bonin had a fantastic year and it will be intersting to see what he can do in 95-96. Kraft showed that he will be a star at the U of M, well, he already is. Checco had a decent year, strong beginning and strong end. I feel he is ready to break out and have a really good year. It will be interesting to see how the recruits perform. Reg Berg, Wyatt Smith, Erik Rasmussen, and Mike Anderson at forward. Billy Kohn on defense. Out of that bunch, everyone expects Rasmussen to be the best, personally, I feel that Wyatt Smith will surprise a lot of people and will be another future star here at the U. Defense will NOT be a problem. All of our D returns, Godbout though will most likely be redshirted. I am anxious to see Mike Crowley have another great year. He is hte best rushing defenseman I have EVER seen at the U. Have fun reading and responding Gopher fans. This fan looks forward to hte 95-96 season and hopes the Gopher HOckey team captures teh WCHA regular season title, playoff title, and finally wins the big one for Coach Woog.
