I was at the andover vs. maple grove game tonight and cal decowski was smoothest player ive seen thus far this year. Does anyone know if he is getting any offers or speaking to any teams? It just seems hes too special to be missed.

Always been one of the better players in his grade, but hasn't produced spectacular numbers at the varsity level yet. Played in the elite league this past fall, I'm sure he will be off to juniors next year, seems he's putting up pretty good numbers this season.

Id say that 42 points in twelve games is putting up numbers.... kids a great hockey player and should end up playing D1 hockey

I agree, as stated above, this season he is putting up a lot of points, and against good comptetition, I was saying that his junior and sophomore years he didn't do as well which is why a lot of people probably don't know who he is, but yes, he I would say he has division 1 potential if he keeps progressing.

Andover has played four quality opponents so far this season; Elk River, Hermantown, Duluth Denfeld and Osseo. What has Cal done against those teams (yes, I'm too lazy to go look it up)? The appearance is that his numbers have come at the expense of some bottom-feeders; Andover has scored 50 goals against North Metro (twice), Coon Rapids (twice) and Chisago Lakes. Their strength of schedule has been weak so far, especially for a Class AA team.

Cal Decowski is one of them players that gives it all he has every day. He has shown that he is a very good hockey player his entire hockey career and will be rewarded for his efforts. When he decides to make the decision on what college he will go to I am sure that it won't be posted on any chat boards because that is not the type of person he is. He is a very humble young man and don't brag about what he is accomplishing.

As far as his points go, tonight at Champlin he got his 100th point for his career. He plays in a very tough conference and to hit this mark with several games to play this year he should be recognized by even more big time schools than he has heard from already.

Heard he will be goin to UMD

He's one of the best players I've seen this year. D1 type of player.

i agree

Heard Cal signed with Yale the night of the Maple Grove game. True?

Nice to hear. Outstanding player and student. I've heard, from reliable sources, Decowski and Herbert are the top 2 seniors and should be the leading candidates for Mr. Hockey. The Tonka D sounds outstanding but will probably steal a few votes from one another.

Good evening,

One person says UMD and another poster says Yale.
Anybody know 100% sure what school is Cal considering or commit too?

There is no mention of anything on Heisenberg site regarding Cal's intentions post high school. If anybody has any info, that would be great.

Have a great night!

Take away his 22points against North Metro and Coon Rapids and his average/game is just that......average!!

You're obviously no scout.

Decowski was among the leading scorers in the Elite League which has very tough competition.

I know the bulldogs really like him!

Would 3 Goals against Centennial last night just be an average day at the office? Just wondering. Would having two D1 Schools watching, just be an average night? Just wondering. Not so sure this kid is the best, but boy he sure makes everyone around him look good. He's the most unselfish player I've seen in long time. [/b]

This kid had his way with Centennial and walked around their best defensemen like they were standing still. Never having seen him play before, I was very impressed.

just read an article on mnhockeyhub that says hes being recruited by Brown, Yale and UMD. Would love to seem him stay in the state and become a Bulldog

Toews is God 19 LOVES DECOWSKI :lol:

Good evening -

Any idea where Decwoski is heading after the Andover days are over?
Right now, it is safe to say that he still uncommitted.

I got a chance to see him vs Centennial and Blaine...he is a fun player to watch. Any team that can land him will be a better team because of his presence. Definately, a senior sleeper in the sense that not too many people talk about him. Certainly worthy of discussion in his post-Andover hockey days which are numbered.

Yes i do love decowski and heres him robbin bjughstad and scorin a shorty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDdx1k_b8PM

Really?!?! You would like to see him pass up the chance to go to one of the most elite schools in the country to go to UMD? Really? What happens if he doesn't make a career out of hockey in the NHL? For the betterment of the kid he really should go to Brown or Yale.

Isn't UMD "the Haaavaaaarrrd" of the Midwest???

I agree with you HockeyMn1 on the education aspect, but if he has aspirations of playing pro hockey - not just NHL -he will probably get more significant exposure at UMD - plus, his family can watch in person.

But if he values the college education, the decision between Brown or Yale vs UMD reminds me of a distant relative who narrowed his college choice between Winona St. and Arizona St.
