History
2006-07: Won AJHL rookie-of-the-year honors with 49 goals and 34 assists for 83 points in 58 games, playing the season with the Fort Saskatchewan Traders of the Alberta Junior “A” Hockey League.
2007-08: This was Frattin’s freshman year with the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux (WCHA) and he proved to be a valuable defenseman. He was the only Sioux to appear in all 43 games this season and led all UND rookies in scoring (15 points) and assists (11). He ranked 10th among WCHA freshmen in scoring and ranked sixth on theam and led all Sioux freshmen with a +11 plus/minus rating. He notched a goal and an assist in his collegiate debut in the season opener against Michigan State on Oct. 13. He collected a career-high three assists in a 5-3 win at Minnesota State on Jan. 19, tying the UND season high.
Talent Analysis
Frattin uses his excellent shot to back defenders off down the wing and shows good hands when opportunities arise in close. He had a squatty build at 5'11 and 185 pounds. He is not afraid to do the dirty work in the corner but is at his best when posted up in the slot. He needs to work on his skating, which is considered just average.
Future
Frattin will spend at least two seasons toiling with what could be a very young North Dakota squad.
