Agreed that it's going to pass because of FOOTBALL!!...I'm really hoping that the NCAA works with hockey to make some slightly different rules or exceptions.

This kid already plays Sioux hockey. Get him on board, Chyz!

It must be an injury but I couldn't find any info posted if that was the case or not.

The opposing team didn’t appear to be pleased.

Well that's unfortunate.

Would imagine that if Jaxon Jacobson goes the NCAA route that we'd hopefully have the inside track on him being that he is a Manitoba kid. He absolutely lit up the WHL this year as a 16/17yo...85pts in 63 games. He joined the Canadian U18 team and had 2 goals in his first game (one assisted by Verhoeff).

DuPont and Rudolph's teams both won Game 1 in their WHL playoff series. DuPont with 1g/1a in their win and Rudolph 2a in their win. Hopefully Jax and Co has been able to schedule a campus visit with Carels.

CHN article on the proposed NCAA change to 5yr eligibility: https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2026/04/24_College-Hockey-Bracing-For.php It would certainly change a lot of things, especially on the junior hockey side of things before entering college. Teams like Mankato would be hit hard, as they usually try to recruit those players that blossom a little later. Then, you could also have kids staying for 5yrs if they wanted. Pretty crazy. Some changes look to be coming.

I'm hoping that Magnussen or Malinoski can be that improved player for us this season. I've read good things about both...Malinoski especially had rave reviews from the Providence fanbase.

Agreed on it being a knee jerk response. He'll get more minutes at ASU, but I'm guessing pretty marginal...maybe 2-3 more min/game? He wouldn't have been top 6 next season at UND, but there's probably only a couple NCHC schools where he would be at this point in his development. Wish he would have stuck around, but best of luck to him when he's not playing UND.

O'Neill going to St Thomas:
