Who? From where???

So the first player born in the 90’s has committed to college. That player is Fredrik Csisar, who has committed to Nebraska-Omaha.

Confused? I was too.

Until I found a helpful little site called Norges Ishockeyforbund . Western College Hockey’s official Norwegian translator(Yes we have one. Suck it, INCH) says that means Norwegian Ice Hockey for Kids. Apparently the Omaha coaching staff got on the wrong plane to go to the Select 14 Festival in Rochester, and ended up in Norway. The website chronicles their national 14 and under tournament, in which Csisar had 4 goals and 2 assists, which was good for third overall in the tournament.

I can’t really comment too much on this signing because I’m not all that familiar with my Norwegian hockey. To be honest, I couldn’t tell Dag Jonas Lande from Pal Magnus Stensholt. But if Omaha has committed to this kid this early, he must have something going for him. Given the talent Omaha has brought in over the past couple years, I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.

This isn’t the first early committmnt for the relatively young program. Earlier this year, they got a commitment from ’89 forward Anthony Peluso for the class of 2007. While Peluso is still technically committed to the Mavericks, he was drafted 10th overall in the OHL Draft by the Erie Otters, and was quoted as saying he was excited to play for the Otters. That’s why I haven’t bothered adding the talented forward to the 2007 Top Prospects list.
