well i'm guessing he wanted to play for a real hockey team and get some exposure and good experience. or maybe he wanted to live with relatives for a year. or maybe he realized there aren't any good looking women in PR and needed a change...i don't know, maybe you could tell me?

How about Wyatt Smith. A TRF player, who's dad was given a job at Marvin Windows, so his son could play hockey for Warroad.SB24 wrote:Yeah, Oshie came all the way from washington, back to warroad where his family is from.

Imagine that, a company that employs 3000+ people in a town of 1700 would have to hire someone from as far away as 90 miles....gasp! Let me help you out, you wanna talk recruits, pick someone you could make a case for. Like maybe someone who's parents didn't move with them...But i guess if Wyatt was your first shot, i'm guessing you don't have any facts...anything else is worthless.

I know this situation, I worked with his mother. I may know a little more about this than you think.SB24 wrote:Imagine that, a company that employs 3000+ people in a town of 1700 would have to hire someone from as far away as 90 miles....gasp!

the ravndalen boy was from warroad before he moved to baudette, then came back to warroad for hs. I know Chris Knapp is a cousin to PJ Stodgell who graduated the same year and was also a hockey player. T.J. Oshie also has a significant amount of family in warroad, for those who didn't know he's related to Henry Boucha. I don't know much about Wyatt, i know his parents still live and work in warroad.

Wow, thats all you got. You ask for names, you get about a half dozen or so, then all you can do is try to insult people. Maybe you should be what careful about what you ask for.SB24 wrote:section8a wrote:

you worked with his mother? congrats, what's that prove? and the names? i had to hand feed them to you. If you're going to make a case for recruiting the Martells should be the first names that come to mind, even though i have yet to see or hear any facts about such recruiting...

Say what you want but we aren't stupid. Its not just a rumor floating around section 8 for all these years. Good players have moved to Warroad and Roseau for a reason. Good chance to play on a team that might go to state, and lots of exposure to maybe get a college scholarship. Maybe they weren't directly recruited all the time, but I sure the heck know Marvins isn't going to be shy about hiring someone's parents if they have a good hockey player in the family.SB24 wrote:you worked with his mother? congrats, what's that prove? and the names? i had to hand feed them to you.

Think what you want! But I know first hand that they contacted a certain Goalie and Goalie's dad from EGF to come up to Warroad and play this year. Included was a job for dad at marvins and set up so they had a place to stay. It happens not through the school but from the town's people. It also has happened with a certain sophomore girl on the EGF team. Believe me it happens.
Right...who cares about that little old company and getting the right person for the job opening, that definitly plays second fiddle to a successful hockey teamMN Pond Hockey wrote:Say what you want but we aren't stupid.

.....not the same class?....they are both D1 material....anything good that happens for PR, you will try and take it away...I find it pretty funny...id much rather see PR go to the Xcel, to answer that question...but its great he made the top ten

My guess you are one of those towns people. I know it is hard to admitt that your town has to bring in talent to help a program that would do just fine on it's own. But you Warroadites never will admitt it happens. It is something you born to say to anybody who asks about it.SB24 wrote:well since you said believe me, than i guess i will.

Dion Hebel-Middlebro Manitoba. Lived with WHS AD.
Glen Damota-Chicago, IL. Never played for Warroad. Played 1 year for Warroad JV. Parents move to area next season. Glen falls in love with Broten girl, parents settle in Roseau....
Didn't the Hasbargen's come from Indus or Baudette?
Niklaus Axelsson (sp?). Answered newspaper ad in Swedish paper looking for exchange students. Preferably hockey players.
The Christian Brothers covered Europe and Mike Marvin (now an agent of Warroad HS) covered MN and ND. Mike "technically" wasn't recruiting because the rules refer to recruiting as contacting high school age athletes. Mike was getting to them in Bantams.
I know first hand of a kid from ND who Warroad people were very interested in.
