In retrospect, It would also appear that UND losing Stefan Matteau to the CHL last year isn’t such a bad thing after all.
Stefan Matteau, a first-round NHL pick who backed out of his commitment to UND last January to play Canadian major juniors, was suspended this week for the second time this season.

Matteau also served a seven-game suspension in the USHL last season.[Brad Schlossman, Grand Forks Herald]A Tradition of Excellence devised his all WCHA NHL line chart.
