We get news today that former Fighting Sioux forward Michael Forney will not be returning to UND but instead giving up his final two years of eligibility to play with the AHL team the Chicago Wolves. There was a chance that he might return to UND for his Junior season. While at UND Forney never really got going offensively and suffered a couple of injuries that held him out of the line up.
Michael Forney wrestled with the decision for three months.
Should he sign with the Atlanta Thrashers or return to UND, where he spent two injury-plagued years before rediscovering his game in the United States Hockey League?
The answer came on Monday morning.
Forney signed a multiyear, two-way contract with the Thrashers, giving up his final two years of college eligibility.

He had a tough time, pretty much the same thing as Brady Murray. I liked him, thought he was a cutie pie!
