[clydesdale line]

Former teammate and linemate with Aiden Thompson (3rd round pick, 2022) in the USHL. Currently playing with Wyatt Kaiser (3rd round pick, 2020) and Connor Kelley (7th round pick, 2021) with Minnesota Duluth. Gotta be a thrill to have that many ties with guys you know.

 

[Larmer83]

Made the U20 USA team as a 4th line checker and PKer with a re-invite for the rescheduled U-20 for this August.

Good wheels and gritty for his size. May slot in as a 2nd line center for UMD this coming season.

 

[giza]

No shortage of gritty types in this draft----got to be impressed with the skills of the first 2 picks, but next year, you hope for some higher end skill in a big way (Bedard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Unfortunately for Dominic his season is over. Upper body injury vs Michigan.

Damn, gotta be a pretty serious UBI to end the season this early.

He managed to dislocate his shoulder and tear the labrum while taking a face off.

He managed to dislocate his shoulder and tear the labrum while taking a face off.

That's nuts. I've never heard of that happening before.

 

[giza]

I tore my left labrum trying to check a swing in college.....shoulders are wonky.

 

[Mrfenn92]

He’s returning to Duluth for another season no surprise. Scott powers did report there was some talk of him turning pro.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Maybe would've turned pro if he didn't get injured, but he'll for sure need another college season now to get back in shape

 

[Mrfenn92]

Named captain for Minnesota Duluth

 

[clydesdale line]

Blackhawks prospect Dominic James has earned pro contract with stellar senior year

After missing most of his junior year at Minnesota-Duluth with a dislocated shoulder, James has resurrected his career this season, impressing Hawks general manager Kyle Davidson.

Nice article by our guy @benpopecst about James.

 

[Putt Pirate]

He is almost a point per game on a crap team. I remember when UMD was a juggernaut.

 

[WarriorofTime]

He turns 23 in four months, so wouldn't say there are big expectations but good to get him into the org and see what he can do.
