Scott Winkler

2007-08: Winkler spent the season in Kansas City with a U.S. AAA Midget team called the Russell Stover Stars.  He notched 40 goals and 92 points in 70 games for them en route to being drafted by the Stars in the third round.  He had a team-leading seven points and a plus-six for Norway at the U18 World Juniors in five games.  His efforts led Norway to the top-tier (Group A) for the 2009 U18 WJC’s.

2008-09: Winkler made the move to the USHL with the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders(USHL). In 55 games Winkler scored 10 goals and added 26 assists. In 5 playoff he picked up just 2 assists. He also represented Norway at the U20 level, scoring 2 goals and adding 2 assists in 5 games.

2009-10: Winkler moved on to the NCAA, playing in his Freshman year with Colorado College(NCAA). In 21 games he managed just 1 goal and 1 assist. He once again represented Norway at the U20-D1 level, scoring 6 goals and 8 assists in just 5 games.

2010-11: Scott Winkler got off to a slow start this season but finished quite strong.  He notched just nine points in 26 games but he’s been better than his numbers indicate.  He’s struggled to string together a handful of really good games without being derailed in some way, shape or form.  Hopefully injury woes are held at bay and Winkler can polish up that raw potential as an older player at Colorado College.  Even if the numbers don’t tell the whole story, four goals in 47 career NCAA games is still underwhelming.
