Really excited to watch those 2 play.
There are guys you are excited about because of their status; high draft pick, the name if they come from a hockey family, local ties, etc.
I'm just excited to watch how these guys play game to game. They have a knack for the score sheet and just seem exciting. Coming as a packaged pair helps too, and I'll be interested to see what they can do with the talent that will be around them. Does it help them take off even more?
We have watched plenty of teams with brothers playing together and it will be fun to have twins on the team to watch that storyline as well. So much to be excited for with UND Hockey moving forward.
There were some pretty down years there for a while; no, we were not in the basement of the standing or anything, but it sucked to watch a lot of what we were used to fall apart. The home ice playoff streak, the consecutive NCAA tourney appearances ... then having missing the tourney multiple times under a certain coach, then not being able to win a game when we did make the tourney. The loss to Wisconsin was a bad game, but to be back at the Frozen Four in year 1 of Jackson was exciting. This was like when Berry stepped in year 1 and had the table set for him. Jackson had to come in and make a lot of changes right away and he did them right! Great hires, great recruiting, great chemistry and mentality. Can't wait to watch some hockey!
I've said it on here before but my son has been a big UND hockey fan through some rough years, excited for him to get to enjoy some NCAA tourneys, some legit competitive and dominant hockey, some big names that will have big NHL careers and plenty of banners!
