Cedar Rapids won the USHL Fall Classic over Des Moines. Here's the scoop on players of interest to Wisconsin hockey fans on day 3 of the event:
Chicago bowls over Indiana 4-1. Wisconsin native Brent Gwidt was not in the lineup for Indiana, but Wisconsinite Zach Fulton was and finished even.
Green Bay handles Fargo 5-1. For Green Bay, Wisconsin native and UW recruit Jefferson Dahl had a goal and was +1, while Wisconsinite and UW recruit Chase Drake was +1. Fond du Lac native Sean Little finished the game even. For Fargo, Wausau native Nate Condon finished -1 while UW recruit and Wisconsin native Gavin Hartzog was even.
Lincoln doubles up Waterloo 4-2. Former Hayward goaltender Alan Armour was in net for Lincoln stopping 28 of 30 shots. For Waterloo, Wisconsin native Scott Pavelski had a goal, while Wisconsin natives and UW recruits Craig Smith and Keegan Meuer were even and -2 respectively. UW recruit Tyler Barnes was even in the game.
Cedar Rapids downs Tri-City 5-3. For Cedar Rapids, Wisconsin native Troy Grosenick was in the net turning away 18 of 21 shots. Wisconsin native Jeff Costello had an assist and finished +1 for Cedar Rapids. For Tri-City, Tomah native Alex Gerke was even on the game.
Des Moines takes out Sioux Falls 4-2. Future UW netminder Aaron Crandall got the win stopping 13 of 15 shots.
Omaha beats Sioux City 4-1. For Omaha, Merrill native Jake Hauswirth had an assist and was +1 while Wisconsin native CJ Ludwig was even. For Sioux City, Hewitt native Nick Graves deflected 26 of 27 shots.
Future UW defender Justin Schultz was back in the lineup for Westside last night after missing two games with an unspecified injury. Unfortunately, it did not help Westside win as they were shutout 4-0 by Penticton.
Future Badger forward Derek Lee was held off the scoresheet last night in Victoria's 2-1 win over Nanaimo.
Hilary Knight buried five goals to lead the Lady Badgers to a victory over Quinnipiac 7-3. Mallory Deluce and Brooke Ammerman had the other goals for UW.
At the USHL Fall Classic:
Cedar Rapids hung 10 goals on Omaha in a 10-6 victory. For Cedar Rapids, Wisconsin native Mike Johnson stopped 22 of 28 shots, while Wisconsinite Jeff Costello lost his mind and collected 17 minutes of penalties and a game misconduct (2 for roughing, 5 for leaving the penalty box and 10 and the game misconduct for leaving the bench) to go along with his +1. For Omaha, two Wisconsin natives were in action. Jake Hauswirth had an assist and was -1 while CJ Ludwig finished -2.
Lincoln slid past Chicago 4-3. Wisconsin natives Taylor Kuypers, Ross Henry and Justin Cseter finished even for Lincoln. Cseter must have recently been traded from Fargo to Lincoln. Lincoln marks his fifth USHL team since the 2004-2005 season (Sioux City, Green Bay, Ohio, Fargo and now Lincoln).
Tri-City got past Green Bay 5-4. Wisconsin native Alex Gerke finished -1 for Tri-City. Wisconsinite Jefferson Dahl had an assist and was even for Green Bay, while Wisconsin native and UW recruit Chase Drake was +2.
In a shootout, Sioux Falls downed Waterloo 2-1. For Sioux Falls, Wisconsinite David Donnellan finished +1. For Waterloo, Wisconsin natives Keegan Meuer (UW recruit), Craig Smith (UW recruit) and Scott Pavelski finished even, as did UW recruit Tyler Barnes. Craig Smith scored a power play goal in the game. In the shootout, neither Barnes, Meuer or Smith managed to convert.
Indiana doubled up Fargo 6-3. For Indiana, Wisconsin natives Brent Gwidt and Zach Fulton finished even and +1 respectively. For Fargo, Wisconsinite Nate Condon was +1 while Wisconsin native and UW recruit Gavin Hartzog was -2.
Des Moines rolled over Sioux City 5-1. UW recruit Aaron Crandall stopped 25 of 26 shots for Des Moines. Wisconsin native Nick Graves was not in net for Sioux City.
Westside defeated Salmon Arm 7-2 Wednesday and Merritt 1-0 last night, but did so without future Badger defenseman Justin Schultz. Schultz is currently injured, although what the injury is and how long he is expected out is not clear at this time.
Future Badger forward Derek Lee chipped in an assist as Victoria defeated Quesnel 3-1 last night.
The Badger Women barely broke a sweat in downing Quinnipiac 10-0 last night. Hilary Knight, Mallory Deluce and Carolyne Prevost each scored two goals while four teammates had one a piece. Defenseman Alycia Matthews had four assists.
The USHL's Fall Classic got underway yesterday. Here's a recap of the games and how Wisconsinites and UW recruits fared:
Green Bay got past Lincoln 3-2. Wisconsinite and UW recruit Chase Drake had an assist and was +2 for Green Bay, while Wisconsin native Sean Little was held off the scoresheet. It appears Jefferson Dahl did not play in the game. For Lincoln, Wisconsinites Taylor Kuypers, Ross Henry and Justin Cseter all finished -1. Blake Geoffrion's brother Sebastien finished -1 as well. In addition, former Hayward goaltender Alan Armour took the loss after stopping 8 of 9 shots.
Indiana blew past Omaha 6-2. Wisconsin native Jake Hauswirth was -3 for Omaha.
Sioux Falls edged Chicago 5-4. Wisconsinite David Donnellan was +1 for Sioux Falls.
Tri-City fell to Des Moines 6-4. Defenseman & Tomah native Alex Gerke scored a power play goal and was -1 in the game for Tri-City. Future UW goaltender Aaron Crandall was not in the net for Des Moines.
Cedar Rapids blanked Fargo 4-0. Fargo managed just 9 shots on goal in the contest. Wisconsinite Troy Grosenick was in net for Cedar Rapids and turned away all 9 shots. For Fargo, Wisconsin native Nate Condon was even while Wisconsinite & UW recruit Gavin Hartzog was -1.
Waterloo handled Sioux City 5-3. For Waterloo, Wisconsin recruit Tyler Barnes had an even strength goal and was +1, while Stevens Point native Scott Pavelski had a power play goal and finished even. Wisocnsites and UW recruits Craig Smith and Brock Montpetit were even and -1 respectively. For Sioux City, Wisconsin native Nick Graves stopped 23 of 26 shots, but did not take the loss.
There are a number of players of interest to Wisconsin hockey fans who were not active in these games. As rosters shake out I'll be able to determine if they were just sitting out so others could be evaluated, or if they are no longer with their respective teams.
Let the games begin! The UW Women square off against Quinnipiac tonight.
Team Wisconsin Major went 1-2 again last weekend. Like the weekend before, their lone victory was against an overmatched team from Norway. Here's the game scores:
Team Wisconsin 10-Norway 1
Team Northwest 8-Team Wisconsin 4
Team Northeast 6-Team Wisconsin 2
This link will take you to the Team Wisconsin stats page.
The Team Wisconsin site FINALLY has the rosters posted for both Team Wisconsin Major and Team Wisconsin Minor. Every year the rosters don't go up on their site until they are playing games (and sometimes not until after the Elite League is underway). They have said they do this since Junior teams haven't set their rosters yet. Since all Junior teams still have not set their rosters now that the Elite League is entering it's third weekend, I don't see how that is a valid argument. Besides, if a kid leaves to play Juniors, pull his name off and add his replacement's name on the website's roster. Is it really that difficult? Does it somehow shame the organization to advance a kid to Juniors, even if it's last minute and/or unexpected?
Future UW forward Derek Lee and the Victoria Grizzlies notched a victory last night by the score of 4-2 over the Cowichan Valley Capitals. Derek Lee had two assists in the contest.
UW defensive recruit Justin Schultz from the Westside Warriors is currently tied for 15th in scoring in the BCHL with 9 points on 1 goal and 8 assists in 7 games, while UW forward recruit Derek Lee is tied for 21st in scoring with 3 goals and 5 assists for 8 points in 7 games.
