7AA was covering it. Hasn't even played a HS varsity game yet. Hope he does well at HS tryouts.

Saw him during the HP15 season. Skilled and a very hard worker on the ice. Congrats to him and best of luck!

Congrats to Blake!!
Nothing directed toward Blake or his accomplishment, but I am amazed at how early players are being recruited and making commitments. To the extent an incoming Sophomore goes right to college from HS, they are still 3 years away, if like most, they spend a year in USHL, 4 years away. A lot can change with players in 3-4 years both on upside and downside not only with the player making the commitment, but those for consideration.
Congrats again to Blake, one of the highest energy motors I have ever seen! Combine that with skill and you have a very good player, Good Luck Blake and look forward to seeing you in the Maroon and Gold in the future!

Congrats Blake! I wonder if one of his sophomore teammates will also go to the U?

I wouldn't bet against it.
I'd be curious to see an entire 2018 grad year team from MN compete D1. Tremendous group.
