That is the latest buzz among Dog fans on their penaltybox.com site...but, too premature to confirm?

I'd had heard some talk about it, but I've also heard things against this. I do know that UMD has been looking at both him and Johnson, but haven't heard anything firm.money wrote:Good afternoon,

He's a Duluth Denfeld foward. Between him and Jake Johnson, they hold the most points in the Northland this year.DmanDad1980 wrote:Stafne
Sounds like an infection to the leg...![]()
Who and where is this kid from? What kind of game...

Excellent hockey player, can read the ice well, decent size, crafty goal scorer.
The infection I've heard he does have is his inability to keep his emotions under control at times....a possible problem at the college level.
They're both pretty prolific goal scorers. I've seen them both play several times. And the Hotchkin kid is a great playmaker and scorer in his own right. I'm sure there will be a lot of scouts in Cloquet tonight watching , among others, these two kids. Like I've said, and it is a bit of a stretch cause I still HAVEN'T seen anything quite like those, but other than Spehar and Locker, these two are argueably the best goal scoring tandem in the Northern area in years and are right now.DmanDad1980 wrote:Thank you sirKurdatz wrote:He's a Duluth Denfeld foward.

I have heard Denfeld was a good skating club, saw a small portion of their game against Lourdes in Rochester (destroyed Lourdes that game, 7-1?), but left to watch daughters U12A game in another rink
I had heard from some St. John's hockey players that Stafne has made a visit there...but I didn't witness it personally. After watching him play last night, he's darn good. Very good skater and has pretty good size.quickgym guy wrote:No. That is Cody Hotchkin...hockeyplaya19 wrote:Is Stafne the one with really long hair?
stafne and jake johnson are no WAY spehar and locker i watched them all play never compare the denfeld duo with those two again. Spehar is a legend, and Johnson from Denfeld is notTexas Denfeld Grad wrote:Kurdatz,
I was in high school when Spehar and Locker were at East. Those two were amazing from their youth days all the way up through high school. I haven't seen Johnson or Stafne play since I now live in Dallas, but I have a hard time believing any duo will ever come close to those two. I didn't play past bantams, but I've never seen a goal scorer like Spehar.
I don't remember Locker necessarily being a head case, he was just stupid. He did commit to Wisconsin during high school, but never made it anywhere close to there academically. He basically dropped out of school after the state tournament his senior year. I remember him getting suspended for the section final vs Cloquet and the state tourney his sophomore year for skipping a class two days before the section final. He enrolled at Minnesota for a semester about two years after high school, but never did become eligible and dropped out.
Johnson is the only two way player of these mentioned and is the best skater and corner player and that gos a long way at the D1 level. He will do well.ColdasIce wrote:stafne and jake johnson are no WAY spehar and locker i watched them all play never compare the denfeld duo with those two again.

Stafne will end up on someones D1 Roster, he's just to dam good. As you say hopefully he becomes a bulldog!!.hockeyfanatic0011 wrote:I agree with the fact stafne is underappreciated. He is such a dynamic forward. He is so skilled and is such a natural goal scorer. He had 11 hat tricks this year. This kid should make it somewhere D1 and coaches that dont want him are foolish. Hopefully you will end up with UMD. Good luck.
I gotta agree, I was forced to play against these east teams from pee-wee {Stewerts} to high school and they were byfar the best in the state from day one. These east teams are prolly unmatched in modern MN hockey.ColdasIce wrote:stafne and jake johnson are no WAY spehar and locker i watched them all play never compare the denfeld duo with those two again.

They don't come close to the Jefferson Teams.cjp8816 wrote:I gotta agree, I was forced to play against these east teams from pee-wee {Stewerts} to high school and they were byfar the best in the state from day one.

We all know what they did 10-12th grade.
