Here is the promo for UND senior Matt Frattin and his official promo for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, in my opinion this is well done and I was impressed by the quality of work. Goon’s world would like to send major kudos to the UND Sports Information Department for their great work for both Candidates Chay Genoway and Matt Frattin. Here is the official link to the Vote for Matt Frattin Hobey Baker Memorial Award page.
His Story
Matt Frattin has the skill set every hockey player dreams of. Fast. Powerful. Elite scorer.
He was living his dream of playing college hockey. That came to an abrubt end.
"The way he was living his life away from the rink wasn't what it needed to be," UND head coach Dave Hakstol said.
After two alcohol-related incidents — one of which he was later acquitted of — Frattin was dismissed from the team.
Frattin didn't give up. He showed other aspects of his character.
Hard work. Selflessness. Committment. Teamwork.
With his scholarship taken away, Frattin decided against going pro. Instead he took out a loan and came back to UND. He worked hard and earned his way back onto the team, earning respect in the process.
