  1. TJ was my all time favorite to watch play in a Sioux jersey. Just a legend.

  3. Fantastic article on incoming forward Cole Reschny. Really sounds like UND has a winner here: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6302768/2025/05/01/cole-reschny-nhl-draft-2025-prospect/?source=emp_shared_article

  4. Pretty crazy how often you rip Fenton without understanding all the facts. Notre Dame announced their intention to join Hockey East two years prior to Fenton becoming NCHC commissioner.

  5. Is it me or did Woden seem awfully evasive (and a tad defensive) when Carle pressed him to provide specifics backing his position on the whole home site issue? Carle handed him his lunch, IMO.

  6. Nobody rejects it more than hockey, but I can’t say I’ve ever met anyone who actually likes it. It has become clear over time that the most popular choice, at least with the general public, would have been 1) having no nickname and 2) keeping the interlocking ND.

  7. Completely agree. It was such a prominent part of the university’s branding for a long time. Pivoting to that as the school’s primary logo would’ve offered continuity and allowed fans to feel like our identity hadn’t been totally stripped away. Instead they decided to throw the baby out with the bathwater for reasons I still don’t understand

  8. Just wanted to let everyone know I’m doing my part to help support the Grand Forks economy. In town visiting family and stopped at the Red Pepper for a grinder (with taco meat) and a soda.

  9. Reschny and Cootes both had a great u18 tournament about a month ago. I am not sure if they played on the same line during the tournament but I am sure they are familiar with each other. Schlossman said in an article last week that the Reschny and Verhoeff commitments could be a domino effect with other players from Western Canada in the future. I am sure Reschny is in communication with other Canadian players about potentially coming to North Dakota, especially when he is spending a ton of time around them at the combine last week.

  10. He was one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players" list for the 100th anniversary. With nearly 300 players in the HOF, he might not be a lock but he has a good chance.

  11. His problem is not the competitions it is tax payers funding his competition. He even says he has not problem with Play it sports and others that have simulators that invested on their own. His problem is the city giving tax breaks to the completion. Personally I don't blame him for being pissed.

  12. If I was Carle I would've given him the Mic solo for 10 minutes and not said a word. I'd let him stumble through has piss poor stance for 10 minutes haha. Also - who in college hockey (Fans or coaches) has every truly complained about using the pairwise for seeding? I feel like he might be the only one that even has that stance.

  13. Laurila and Reschny had good showings at the Combine: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-freshmen-cole-reschny-sam-laurila-top-fitness-categories-at-nhl-combine

  16. Carle handed Wodon his ass. It wasn't even a fair fight. I believe that for Wodon it boils down to his beloved Cornel not having to go to a home regional against a school with a loud, packed arena. If you go back to 2005 Minnesota hosted a regional and Cornel was pissed they had to at Marriuci Arena. Obviously, Cornel lost in OT.

  19. He won multiple Stanley Cups, multiple Olympic Gold Medals, one of the youngest captains ever, need I go on? If that overrated stiff Eric Lindros can get in, Toews should be able to get in. Just my 2 cents.

  20. It’s not an indoor golf simulator. It’s a mixed use development with an outdoor driving range/simulator. It’s the type of thing grand forks needs to attract or retain any young talent. Tax incentives? Good.

  21. Lets be real - the P5 have enough funding. Illinois could have easily done it. Georgia could easily do it. Iowa could. They just don't want the distraction and the administrators don't want to annoy existing FB/BB boosters that want every penny dumped into those sports. The P5 budgets have pretty much doubled over the last decade or so.

  22. Wodon literally can't stop with this argument, he just refuses to back down. What a horrible take. How does he suggest we get better atmosphere at neutral sites? And if he has legit ideas, why haven't they been implemented over the last 15 years?

  23. Worrying about 8, 9, 10 seeds isn't a reason to hold the rest of us hostage. Carle’s response, win more games. (I am paraphrasing). But he's right.

  24. As a fan who liked the old name/logo I just appreciate the hockey program not rolling over like every other sport. I didn’t want the change to be “easier”, I actually wanted quite the opposite. But I guess I’m stubborn.

  25. Good for the program, bad for the pockets of students. UND will allocate a large portion of their revenue sharing budget to their hockey team. A lot of big ten programs will get outbid by UND’s hockey revenue sharing package because they are allocating 80-90% to their football programs. After the football team takes their cut, the basketball team is next. Most big ten hockey programs will not see a significant amount of money for revenue sharing because it’s capped at $20.5 million. UND will pay a fraction of that but a large portion will go to the hockey team. The hockey team being good is good for enrollment and the university’s wellbeing as a whole. In order to pay for this, administration will increase tuition.

  26. Losing the interlocking ND was (from a fan perspective) an unexpected outcome of the re-brand and an extra kick in the nuts. The football team had a variant of that for decades.

  27. Cootes seems like a great fit. If we were to get a forward from the dub, I would be ecstatic with him or Kindel. Schmidt’s size concerns me a bit but he is a good player. I think Rickwood is our best faceoff guy so I would be surprised if we moved him to wing. I beleive he was at 57% last year. The downside of Rickwood is that he had one great year with Clarkson and that might not translate to the NCHC. Looking back at a few line charts from last year and Littler played a ton of wing and is a right shot. The staff could view him as a wing. At this point, it might be in their best interest to target a center and juggle the lines around. Winning faceoffs with this young forward group concerns me a little bit but having more options would be ideal.

  29. We should be going hard after Braeden Cootes. He’s the exact type of player Dane wants. Western Canadian, physical, fast, tenacious forechecker, and can score. He’s a center, but you could bump Rickwood or someone else out to the wing or move Cootes himself since he’s a righty

  33. Notre Dame got into Hockey East and immediately started whining about all the travel. Guess what, most of the Hockey East Teams are nowhere near South Bend, Indiana. Maybe somebody should have looked at a f*cking map first.

  34. Hockey East also wasn't happy having Notre Dame and was happy to let them leave. Also find it hard to believe BGSU wanted in the NCHC when their head coach at the time was very vocal about not being in the NCHC. BGSU might want to be in the NCHC now, but Bergeron was so against the NCHC he just about killed Miami's program (joking about killing Miami's program). Mankato was never going to get in and if there was a third team to apply when Mankato and Arizona State first applied. Arizona State and that third team would have been in the NCHC. The NCHC went out of their way and asked St Thomas if they wanted to join, and didn't ask Mankato.

  42. And I've said this a million times as well. The committee swayed the vote by putting "Fighting" in front of hawks. I've said it forever that whatever nickname they put "Fighting" in front of was most likely going to win.

  44. I think we have recruited the Chicago area terribly. We got Strathmann but that’s pretty much it. We were in on Jack Hextall last summer but he picked Michigan State over UND, despite being a UND fan. So clearly there’s issues recruiting this area. Maybe with the new staff we can remedy this.
