Goaltender Dubielewicz signs
You might be saying, 'who?'...but if you followed the University of Minnesota Golden Gopher hockey program over the years, you know this player and the reason the signing interests me. Wade Dubielewicz was a stand-out netminder for the Denver Pioneers from 99-03. Even though he played only 4 seasons in the WCHA, he was one of those college players who seemed to have 20+ years of eligibility...you know the ones that come back year after year and never seem to leave. His record peaked in his Junior season, where he had a 20-4 record, a 1.72 gaa, and a .943 save %. I cannot recall exactly what happened to him during his Senior season, as he was on the short-end of splitting games with another standout in Adam Berkhoel...and it may have been a case of just that, losing his starting job to another standout. Most recently, he has mainly been a career minor-leaguer but does have 40 NHL games played in the last 5 seasons.
Hendrickson to coach
An interesting piece of speculation from Russo...with the loss of the Wild's video coach Matt Shaw, Russo threw in the name Darby Hendrickson as a possible replacement. You have seen Darby on the FSN Wild telecasts the past couple of seasons, as he retired from playing after a short stint overseas a few years ago. You may recall that Hendrickson was an original member of the Wild and in fact scored the teams very first regular season goal at the X. Now if you have followed me at Wild-Puck, you know that I am not in the 'one of us' crowd, but I am now putting on my homer cap when I say that it would be great to have him in the Wild organization as a coach. He truly has the 'minnesota nice' touch and would make a great addition to the team.
