The Sicatoka

Or are we on a crash course for something like the WCHA had? That ended as the genesis of the NCHC.

He started as Summit commissioner on April 11. They guy hasn't found the head in his new offices yet, much less unpacked his day planner.

Until he steps on the ‘ucci ice, he is an unknown at the collegiate level as well.

Given the history pointed out here, asking Spicer to go to the USHL for a season was prudent for his development. Dare I say Spicer’s decision to my eyes is imprudent.

If you had "less than seven games to first 2022 injury" on Buxton, you can cash your betting stubs now.

From QU Bobcat spots to NHL "zebra" stripes. https://scoutingtherefs.com/2022/04/33780/nhl-debut-for-referee-jordan-samuels-thomas-in-chicago/ https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=107535 I'm surprise more former UND guys haven't landed on this path.

The lad is from Red Deer, AB, ... so are the Bast (Gabe, Luke) boys. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/685905/keith-mcinnis Waterloo: General Manager Bryn Chyzyk Head Coach Matt Smaby

Buxton, Carson Wentz, Jake Sanderson, see their name and you're surprised when it's NOT a new injury report.

We'll have to Nash all that out while we're Stills ... Young.

In today's world you left out Kathy Lee Crosby, and That's Incredible. <-- I'll smoke out the old timers with those references.

My recollections say UND announces the fall roster about finals week in May. It's only lately they put out "teaser tweets".

Answer key.

Have you heard of this thing I call ... morning? Downrange in Sioux Falls is SSE.

UND needs to do nothing. UND may choose to do something. Call it a teachable moment.

1 of 2 Second one is Spicer. The two players are nearly identical physically, both about 5'11 and close to same weight.

Two players, different years, same team/league. Team League GP G A Pts PIM +/- U.S. National USHL 25 7 11 18 14 11 Gavin Hain 2017-18 U.S. National USHL 26 10 6 16 10 5 Cole Spicer 2021-22 Name the players. (Highlight the post to see the names/seasons appear.)

Where Spicer lands will be very telling.

Any truth to the rumor that Morrow's defense partner was called "Laundry" ... because he got hung out to dry so much?

There's a huge number of moving parts to get there. Of today's Summit 10, only six offer football, and one of those is St Thomas who is transitioning to DI and playing Pioneer League right now. They're a ways away from dealing with the other five.
