Just wanted to invite everyone to read the two topics at the top of the Minnesota High School Hockey (older threads) section. I've never met Benik, but I am a fan of athletes from smaller schools who make it when everyone says they can't and they won't just because of where they play. I am glad there are those like Benik who prove them wrong. It gives hope to all those who don't play for the likes of the power houses.

I went back and read the threads. They almost manage to make me look smart!

I wrote "almost."

I can move threads from the older topics forum into this one, though to do so, I'd need a more compelling reason than an "I-told-you-so" post directed at a person who hasn't posted on here in a couple of years.

That said, a topic on the post-HS success of oft-criticized, small-town players like Benik would be welcome.

After the weekend he had, I wrote an article on my blog regarding his transformation into college hockey. I've always been a supporter of him and thought he would fit in nicely at St. Cloud. Here it is...
