Sioux Sign Monster Forward

The Fighting Sioux signed Brent Davidson, a 6'4" 225 pound 20-year-old forward from the Neepawa Natives of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, to play for the Sioux during the 2007-2008 season. Davidson scored 36 goals and added 43 assists for 79 points in 59 games for the Neepawa Natives last season. With the age of Davidson I would imagine Sioux fans will again hear about the 25 year old Canadians on the UND roster, but wait? Didn't the Gophers just sign a 20 year old forward as well?

You gotta to love the Neepa Natives logo:


quote from Dave McIntosh:

Davidson, a 20-year-old forward for the Neepawa Natives in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, is described as a late bloomer like Penner, who was cut from the MJHL three times, played two seasons at Minot State University-Bottineau and wound up winning the Stanley Cup with Anaheim this summer.

“Are you familiar with Dustin Penner?” asked Neepawa executive board member Dave McIntosh. “Yeah, Brent is 20 years old, which is older than most players North Dakota gets. But I want you to call me back in two years. He's a diamond in the rough. He's going to make North Dakota's coaches look real good.”

  1. "When asked to comment on the addition of the new player, head coach Dave Hakstol was unable to answer, as he was covered in barbecue sauce and already halfway down the 'monster forward's' throat."

  4. Brian, it doesn't matter where they are from it just going to be funny watching some of the fans come up with their comments such as but he is an American. The goofers also had a 25 year old goal tender from Minnesota.

    The Goofs losing Goli hurts bad...
