Biscuits and Breezers




  Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! As you all know, starting with the 2014-2015 season, I will be following 5 or 6 different college programs/players as they make their way through college puck to give you an insight as to what goes on with college hockey. Now before the season starts, I will be reviewing all of the players one by one that will be featured throughout this year. So far, those skaters will be Sebastian Gronborg, Ben Henry, Rob Donovan, and Taylor McConnell out of Midland University, Joey Sundgren at St. Olaf, Tommy Bennett in University of Arizona, and Dax Deadrick and Chance Creger out of Northland College. Starting now I will be introducing you to your first review! (This first player was highly requested so he will have the first review!)

 Biscuits and Breezers' College Spotlight Player: 
Sebastian Gronborg

Height: 5 ft 9 in
Weight: 165 lbs
Hometown: Nykoping, Sweden


Many of you will recognize the name Sebastian Gronborg seeing as he was very active with the page last season when he was goaltender for the WSHL's Missoula Maulers. I previously stated that Gronborg was set and ready to go as a college goaltender when he started with the Maulers and indeed he is. His large presence on the ice and his constant battle to be the number one goaltender is exactly what college hockey organizations are looking for. They need a goaltender who is confident between the pipes and who will stop at nothing to win. Gronborg was picked up by the newly formed Midland University Men's Hockey team towards the very end of the 2013-2014 season. Seeing as this is a new team, Gronborg will be great to have as he will set the bar very high for future players and goaltenders alike. He finished out the '13-'14 season with a .917 save percentage and 2.3 goals against average. Sebastian is the type of goaltender who fears none and accomplishes a great amount. He always goes out onto the ice with a winning mentality and is out there until his job is done to the best of his ability. Midland University should be very successful going into it's inaugural year in the ACHA (D1) and with Sebastian in the cage, the success rate will go up just that much more. He is very loyal to any team he plays on and now going into a college program, that could be the difference that sees more back to back wins. Gronborg fits the mold of a college goaltender seeing that he is determined to go all the way to the championship round, he never gives up no matter how hard the situation gets, he brings his "A" game every night, and will go through every possible disaster on the ice so that he and his team mates will come out on top. Could he be following in the footsteps of Adam Wilcox up at University of Minnesota?

Best of luck with Midland University and have a phenomenal season Sebastian!

Fight of the Year Biscuits and Breezers        Before I move on to anymore news, I wanted to feature a fight that I think should be up for a fight of the year in the WSHL. This scrap was between a beast from Missoula and a goon from Seattle. That's right Austin Azzinnaro and Piers LaFrance battled it out in Missoula's last home game and it was amazing. You should have seen these two go at it! It was a complete yard sale of mitts, twigs, and buckets, and by the time Auzzie was done with the Totem, LaFrance was thrown out of the rink looking like he had just met Ross "The Boss" Rhea from Goon. Azzinnaro was ejected in pure beauty style; waving to the roaring fans, excited as can be, and pumped for another round. It was an absolutely incredible fight and I have never seen a junior fight go down as sweet as that one did. Not to mention this was Austin's first tilly! He is a born fighter and obviously it comes by him naturally because the skills he ha

Jamie Zaleski Biscuits and Breezers    Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! Today you will be able to meet and get to know FHL Danville Dashers center Jamie Zaleski a little bit better. You don't come across a player very often that is so passionate about the sport that he takes immense pride in every game he plays or every time he represents his team, but today I believe I was able to talk to one of those chosen few. Jamie is an amazing player who beams passion and talent every time he walks onto the ice for a game and when you see him play, I guarantee that by the end of the game you will be as stunned as I was when I first watched a Dashers game. Zaleski is the perfect player seeing that he has the ideal combinations of aggressive and physical plays, speed, and can score whenever it needs be. I have seen some pretty aggressive players in my time but Jamie Zaleski is the definition of aggression out on the ice. His hits are almost always cle
