from the Grand Forks Herald,
Jason Herter brought his hockey team to his old college campus over the weekend to compete in the Little Caesars North American Showcase.
One of his players, 15-year-old defenseman Garrett Clarke, says he will be back.
Clarke became the youngest player ever to give a verbal commitment to UND this weekend when he told Sioux coaches that he will play for them beginning in 2010.
The Moncton, N.B., native had been a projected top-three pick in June’s Quebec Major Junior Hockey League draft, but after visiting campus, he and his family decided college was the best route.

Huh, so there’s where former Canucks first-rounder Jason Herter is. Interesting.

That is a good choice for this young man to stay amateur, then go to college from the USHL. Even if he only gets 2 years at N.D., it will be a great start on a college degree.
