I see your point. Maybe he actually transferred for academic reasons. It's likely that Providence Academy has better academics than his previous school, was it Cambridge?
I believe he moved close to the school and is living with a family that might be a booster club member
As it's a DIRECT violation of MSHSL rules, I hope that isn't true.

What is?

Game numbers seem to be of way more importance to goalies when looking at the development trends of the best out there. They're saying it's the only conclusion on why there's been so few Minnesota goaltenders (should be more representation) compared to skaters in the NHL. The recent increase in summer hockey in Minnesota has helped our goalies some..
Compared to most goalies in MN, he has played a lot of games. I definitely see a trend of top goalies leaving for more games and better opportunities. Valid or not, the lack of game experience is THE number one criticism of MN goalies at this time. Summer hockey isnt going to fix it.

I agree. But the increase in summer hockey has helped "some".

Very good! Awesome/natural athletic ability. USA team took him and fell back a bit in the depth chart.. Had to improve some aspects of his game and has done that up in Penticton. Recently signed with UMD and is now getting a lot of new NHL interest after being passed up in the draft.

Just a strange move to go to an unknown private school..

*Brokaw is now his high school coach

It's interesting because he was a captain this year as a freshman that transferred in. Wonder how that went over with returning players.

He was voted into his role as Assistant Captain, by the team members. That probably answers the question about how the returning players felt about it.
