Matt Frattin admitted the sting of North Dakota’s 2-0 semifinal loss to Michigan still lingered as he faced the media for the last time as a college hockey player.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, I’m disappointed about the loss last night where a few bounces didn’t go our way,” Frattin said at the press conference following the Hobey Baker Memorial Award presentation Friday at the Xcel Energy Center.<\/p>\n

“But today was a life experience that not many people can cherish.”<\/p>\n

Frattin did not win college hockey’s top individual award but, as one of three finalists, appeared before a national television audience, a thousand or two UND fans and his Fighting Sioux teammates in the seats.<\/p>\n

“It was a group decision with the coaching staff for the team to stay back today and be here for moral support,” Frattin said.<\/p>\n

UND coach Dave Hakstol and his wife, Erinn, Frattin’s parents, Val and Giby, and Frattin’s brother accompanied Matt on the ice for the presentation.<\/p>\n

Frattin said he is flying to Toronto on Saturday to join the NHL team that drafted him in the fourth round of the 2007 draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs.<\/p>\n

He’ll join the club Saturday night for the season finale against Montreal.<\/p>\n

“There’s so much history between those two clubs and I can’t even imagine how crazy the fans and the atmosphere is going to be,” Frattin said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
