"Congrats to Will Francis (‘00, Centennial HS) on his commitment to play for UMD. The Dawgs get another really athletic D-Man who was just given a B rating (3-4 round) by NHL Central Scouting."

The city of Duluth is going to lose one Will Francis (Duluth East's all-time leader soccer scorer who is leaving at the end of the semester) and gain another Will Francis (Centennial hockey). It all evens out in the end.

Looking good so far in CR. A few games on hockeytv shows me he has confidence I didn't see last year early on in 5AA. Growth since elite league last year has been remarkable.
