Joshua Archibald
UNO got a steal of a deal when they took the Brainerd High School kid.
I used to love to watch this fiery kid play for the Warriors. There were alot of teams who did not like to play us then because of his spirit. The kid has hockey in his blood.
A true freshman he is the smallest kid on the team at UNO but he is making a huge impact. Dean Blais can see talent and he has it with Archibald.
He is for real and will continue to be an impact player.
I am a huge Gopher fan, but............. got to say go UNO.

Very cool. First time for Josh to wear the USA jersey? A lot of these other players have a history making the USA teams so it can be a tough nut to crack. Rau, Bjugstad and Forbort too. Here's the roster,

Jim Archibald is in his early 50's. Coaches Brainerd. Played for Gino Gasparini at No Dak, I believe.Tigers33 wrote:How old is his dad? How old is Blais?
I think his dad is the coach of Brainerd...right? If so, I would guess he is in his late 40's to early 50's.
