I thought we were going with #AxeJax?

Strinden

That'd be pretty bad if he's cleared. But he'll probably get cleared just because the NCAA doesn't want to risk litigation. I tell you, if the whole Sioux name fiasco was going on now, UND would have had no problem retaining the nickname because the NCAA would just fold as they have with everything in the last 3-4 years.

Spicer finally cleared to play for WMU starting this weekend. Wonder how he'll do...he didn't exactly light up the USHL last season.

Nice catch! The last time they did that with Ollie and then it was announced a couple days later. Looks like a solid Swiss winger. We'll see what happens.

In net? I'd bet Homer, Spoons, and Sandy. First goal? Safe money is on Strinden.

I like both Jubenvill and Strathmann's games...if both came back for their JR seasons, I could a real progression from both of them. Plus increased playing time if Liv/Wiebe both depart.

Our d-corps will be legit for a few years. Would still love to see a high-end CHL forward added too like Preston.

Nice angle of this goal.
