There's not a single player on the team that cares what UND is charging for admission to any of the games.

From my sources, Frazee was next in line if Hrynkiw didn't accept.

If these were verbals from WHL drafted kids that come from Nova Scotia, I'd be right there with you. But these are all local-ish kids (the most recent commits). I see all these kids ending up at UND...and some of them being excellent collegiate players.

He hasn't even played HS hockey yet. I think with how he performed at the Select 15's, his stock went way up for both college coaches and scouts. His list of college offers reflect that. But, of course, UMN "didn't want him anyway" and BU "didn't expect him to go in the 1st round, so they recanted their offer"...

Finally their first early departure. And it's a big one too. Not sure they'll be a serious contender next year now. But we'll see.

They'll have the target on their backs for sure and you see that many times the teams with the most talent that return a ton don't play up to potential. Remember the year of The Pact (07/08) here at UND when everyone returned except for Toews? That team was absolutely loaded but got blown out by BC in the F4 semifinal in Denver. I could see DU having some struggles this season if the hype gets into their mindsets. That said, their team is very talented and they'll be the pre-season favorites for both NCHC and NCAA for sure.

Duluth loses quite a bit. Darn that Denver keeping their entire team intact. C'mon Gambrell, don't you want to have some fun cruising by bus in the AHL??

They won't win another national title until they have another Grand Forks player on their roster.

Sounds like they want him in their system sooner rather than later.

Never. According to GPL (where I go for most of my UND-related fact checking), our entire roster is almost always 95% Canadian, and 85% of those are over the age of 26.

East Coast Bias

That year turned out horrible for UND.

Crazy that BC didn't "make it work" for him. Big loss to their incoming class. Wonder where he'll end up now? A late add to a different NCAA program or MJ?

He's not kidding!

He's going to be an excellent hockey player for the Gophers. But man, I laughed out loud when I read that he didn't record a single pull-up.
