Family Affair: UND lands Colton Poolman

The University of North Dakota is known for its brother teams. This past year, UND had the Schmaltz Bros (Nick and Jordan). As of today, there will be another Poolman attending UND. Tucker's brother Colton Poolman has committed to UND. I would imagine that he's a year or two out. Here's the link to his Elite Prospects Page.

Congrats to my brother @colt_pools6 for committing to UND! I think your really going to like it here. So happy and proud of you. #sioux

Arctic Ice on Tucker Poolman

This is what happens when you don't watch the games and then report on the prospects. Anyone that has watched UND for more than a minute this season knows that Tucker Poolman has been a major cog in UND's defense corps. You have a senior defenseman sitting in the stands and a freshman d-man playing over him.

2013 5th Round (2011 eligible): RD Tucker Poolman; 8 GP, 3G, 0A, 3 PTS, +3, 2 PIM, 15 SOG

Month GP G A PTS PIM
October 5 2 0 2 2

Poolman struggled at first to earn ice time as a freshman, but -with the help of a 20% shooting percentage and some strong play- the young defenceman is starting to earn his keep and gain more responsibilities as time goes on. His performance has been strong, although it must be reminded that this is his Draft+4 season technically. (read the rest of the article here)

This is UND Hockey recruit  and Omaha Lancers defenseman Tucker Poolman and his thoughts on the USHL/NHL Top Prospects game interview. I thought it was interesting that Poolman has 10 goals on the season, and all 10 are on the power play.
