  Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! Continuing with the College Spotlight Players before their seasons begin, I have another player for you all and this time it is Central Wisconsin Saints goaltender Dax Deadrick! Deadrick has recently committed to Northland College!


Biscuits and Breezers' College Spotlight Player:
Dax Deadrick

Height: 6 ft 0 in
Weight: 195 lbs
Hometown: Butte, Montana, USA


  Dax Deadrick is one of the goaltenders you only see once every few seasons. He is 100% dedicated to the sport and he will tough anything out to be able to rise to the top. His last few seasons of juniors were exponential growing times for his entire game and now going into college hockey, he will fit perfectly. He is incredibly confident between the pipes and will stop at nothing to be able to bring home the win for his team. Deadrick has grown incredibly strong competing in the WSHL and the MnJHL, but I believe his strongest asset is his very high hockey intelligence. He can almost always predict player movements and can easily track where the puck is and where it is going without any problem. Going into his first year of college hockey, he is already resembling great college goaltenders such as Connor Hellebuyck playing for Massachusetts-Lowell or Cole Huggins at Minnesota State. He is a very rugged goaltender that certainly has multiple playoff and championship games in his future. The one thing that sets Dax apart from other goaltenders would most definitely be his determination and his mental sharpness about the game. When he is striving for anything on the ice, there is no doubt that he will be able to achieve it. Dax is the type of goaltender that as soon as he walks on the ice, players know they are going to have a tough time trying to get the biscuit in the basket. He intimidates other goalies with his confidence between the pipes and isn't afraid to try to be the best player on the ice every game. Dax will be a great fit for Northland because they are a tough team that plays until the very last second and that is the definition of how Deadrick plays. It doesn't matter if he is exhausted or injured, Dax plays until the final seconds tick off of the clock in the third period and he plays in support of his team mates. He has an undying fighting mentality and when it comes to fight or flight it will be ferociously fight every time.  I can't wait to see what kind of stats he puts up this year because he has loads of potential for being one of the best goaltenders in the NCHA as well as in the nation.

Best of luck with Northland College Dax and have an absolutely incredible season!

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
