SCSU added Green Bay (USHL) Defenseman Taylor Johnson this week as he committed for either the '08 or '09 season.
Johnson is a bit on the small side at only 5'9" 175 and was supposed to be a senior at White Bear Lake this year.
So that leaves SCSU's recruits as follows
Tyler Kieffer-D-Lincoln (USHL) 08 possibly 09
Jared Festler-F-Lincoln (USHL) 08
Travis Novak-F-Omaha (USHL) 08
Chris Hepp-D-Omaha (USHL) 08
Sam Zabkowicz-D-Sioux Falls (USHL) 08
Drew LeBlanc-F-Chicago (USHL) 08
Jordy Christian-F-Prince George (BCHL) 08
Nic Rioux-D-Practicing with SCSU 08
Luca Cunti-F-Practicing with SCSU (could be this year if his clearinghouse issued are resolved)
Taylor Johnson-D-Green Bay (USHL) 08 or 09
Bryce Ravndalen-F-Warroad (MN HS) 09
Nick Oliver-F-Roseau (MN HS) 09
Ben Hanowski-F-Little Falls (MN HS) 09

Start of a rough stretch
So this weekend begins a tough stretch for the Huskies.
First up is Clarkson who is currently the #1 team in the ECAC. Now Clarkson will likely be looking for some payback after getting thumped by SCSU last year. I expect a good series, especially since Clarkson hasn't lost at home in over a year. I think that ends this weekend.
Next they go to UW a place they haven't won at since 2001. I think they can get a win there but I'm always fearful of this series as good Husky teams have gone down and out in Madison.
Next up are two home series with the current #1 and #2 teams in the WCHA, oddly enough, both from Colorado. Both teams always play hard and can give the Huskies fits. But these series are at the NHC and SCSU hasn't lost at home. While I think they will lose at least one of the four, 3 wins isn't out of the question and less than 2 is completely unacceptable.
Then comes the Christmas tourney. Now typically SCSU does well in the mid-season tourneys as it has been the only trophy (besides the DQ cup) we can win lately. That said, the first game is against the current #1 team in the nation, the Miami Redhawks. Miami has benefited from a favorable schedule but just swept the defending champs, Michigan State in East Lansing. Time will tell if they are for real and that game could prove whether the Huskies are real too.
If that isn't bad enough, the 2nd half opens with UND and Minnesota. Now 3 out of the 4 are at home and right now Minnesota is playing horribly but they will be tough games none the less.
Huskies, it's time to man up, cause the road gets rough from here.
First up, Clarkson tomorrow night, can the leading scorers in the WCHA continue the pace they have been on and has Motzko found the line combos that will work. A sweep in Potsdam would go a long way to answering those questions.
