This article reads an awful lot like that Miami student newspaper article from like a decade ago that called them a "dynasty". PSU Champs or Bust! The phrase epicenter of college hockey is mentioned numerous times. https://psucommradio.wordpress.com/2025/07/09/opinion-its-a-championship-or-bust-season-for-penn-state-mens-hockey/

2025-26 University of North Dakota Hockey Season

Rangers are fine having Emery at UND until he's pro-ready: https://www.foreverblueshirts.com/new-york-rangers-news/ej-emery-great-path-development-sophomore-north-dakota/ -
Yes for sure. Crazy new world we're in with all this CHL stuff. By this time normally we'd know full roster or pretty darn close. I think this UND roster as-is would be a tourney team. They have a lot of very strong pieces and an elite d-corps. Adding a guy like Martone to the current group would elevate them into the top 8 in the nation level IMO.
-
It'll be interesting to track how he does in the CHL this year...he'll still be young but we'll see how he does.
-
Dang. I would think there's got to be quite a few UMN fans that are a bit concerned about Bob's recent recruiting misses & strategy.
-
And as a follow-up to Friedman's quote, there's this as well. Pair him with a more defensive-minded D partner and let the kid do his thing out there.
-
That's the type of player that UND needs to be looking at if they're not able to land another blue chipper for next season.
-
Always tough to lose your dad, let alone when you're still in college. Condolences to Ben and the rest of the Strinden family.
-
That would be super sweet to follow along, especially for the fans that love the recruiting side of things. They'd have to wait to publish until players committed to not tip their hats to other teams on recruiting prospects.

BU PSU MSU UND Go on....

Jax can't even get his guys recruiting for an entire off-season. They're not recruiting a full 365, that's for sure.
-
Hope UND can save up some money (about $500k?) from its NIL and rev share for DuPont next season.
-
I think that a guy like Chyz is able to do both pretty easily. He's so connected in the recruiting world. He was able to land Williams for 2026 right before he landed Reschny & Verhoeff for 2025. Three very high end recruiting wins right there, all within a week or two.
-
Yes, I think that rev share will definitely benefit schools like UND where hockey is the #1 sport...there aren't many of those schools either.
