Mathew Dumba learned a lot in his short stay with the Minnesota Wild. Dumba is on his way back to Red Deer of the WHL. "Coming into training camp, I didn't expect anything like this," Dumba said. "I didn't expect to stay around. It was a real good experience for me being able to stay up for these two weeks and just take it all in. I think that's huge for me, getting to know the guys personally and just knowing what it takes to be at this level. The things that happen every day, just being in the locker room, just the little stuff, the workouts, just everything that goes along with being in the NHL I've taken away from this." Coach Mike Yeo said that Dumba was a sponge during training camp and the first week of the season and that should bode well for him the rest of the season.
