Danny Kristo at the US development camp last yearExcerpt from HabProspects.com article:
The North Dakota Fighting Sioux are coming off a WCHA championship and Head Coach Dave Hakstol was named Coach of the Year in the WCHA, they will look to repeat last season's success as they are one of the very best programs in all of college hockey. For Freshman Danny Kristo and Mike Cichy they couldn't wait to join the Sio/ux as they verbally committed to the school over two years ago as the former teammates from the USNDTP U-17 are now roomates at North Dakota.
It didn't take long for Kristo to earn praise from the local media as they quickly took note of his impresssive speed and quick hands. He is playing on the clubs's top line and top PP unit and in a show of confidence from his coach, he is spending much of the PP on the point and in his regular season debut this weekend he picked up two points and saw a large amount of ice time.
Mike Cichy has found himself on the 4th line often on a line with the younger brother of Jonathan Toews, it didn't take long for him to get hsi name on the scoresheet as he picked up three points this weekend in his regular season debut. Unlike Kristo who is a shooter first and foremost, Cichy appears to distribute the puck, but on his goal he showed some quick hands by firing off a shot the second it hit his stick. Next weekend will mark the first real test of the new season as the Sioux will welcome rivals the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
