He decided to take a non-NSF-approved supplement, by his own admission, knowing better, for whatever reason. He's paying the price for it.

Play it safe: Wait until August.

2022-23 University of North Dakota Hockey Season
The Sicatoka replied to Frozen4sioux's topic in Men's Hockey
Since season's end @UNDmhockey has tweeted out "they're coming" or "they're staying" tweets about: G: DeRidder F: Gaber, Senden, Hain, Caulfield, Albrecht, Ness, D: Frisch, Kleven, Jandric, Ferner, Moore, Farmer They have not about ... G: Hellsten, Feeney, K Johnson F: Jamernik, Budy, Monty, Schmaltz, Costantini, Portz, Kunz D: Bast, Johnson The 2021-22 freshmen being in the "not" list does not surprise me. But nothing about Hellsten and LouieJam? Not sayin', just sayin'. And yeah, Hellsten is a 2021-22 freshman. And Budy in the "not" list ... no comment. -
Anecdotal, yes, but the last couple blizzards (<-- it hurt to type that) were somewhat "late", meaning 12-24 hours behind the three-days out schedule, and seemed to tack just west of the predicted-36-hours-before track line.

I'll just leave this bag-o-happiness right here ...

Stop by. We'll talk it out over drinks.

You could've stopped there. And he and Too Tall are two halves of a pair of pliers. <-- Tool, get it.

Twitter's @WeatherBELL does a solid job, but focuses more on where their paying subscribers are at. (They are a private forecasting service used by traders and insurance companies.)

Hasn't the Euro done the best job on the two prior storms?

Looks like Jonny Tychonick is using the Covid year at Omaha.

Congrats to Bismarck for setting an all-time April snowfall record with 12 days yet remaining!

I thought the inbound storm (Apr 22-25 arrival) was going to be more of a NWS Bismarck problem than an NWS Grand Forks problem. < facepalm >

Allow me to show you all how a recruit's hearing works: "If you continue to progress as you need to, on and off ice, your play, training and your school, you'll be here in two years." -
Somebody's got their story mixed up. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2022/04/18_McKay-Suspended-6-Months-.php https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article/hobey-baker-winner-dryden-mckay-discusses-suspension-for-banned-substance/ So which is it?
-
Dryden McKay was so afraid of Covid, and admitting he knew to be careful of what he as an athlete consumes, he decided to take a non-NSF-approved, "Facebook Pharmacy" recommended, Quercetin supplement. Makes sense. Or not.
-
Is alcohol a banned substance by USADA/WADA/NCAA? Unfortunately, alcohol is just a dumb substance to ingest.
-
Why is he taking non-NSF-approved stuff? To what end? He admits he knew better but yet ... And I'm wondering why the six months didn't start in Jan/Feb with the positive test. (Not Dryden's control; this skepticism is aimed at USOC/USADA/NCAA.)
-
Problem One summed up right ^^^ there. He admits he used a not-NSF-approved item. <-- Not smart. The team tells you not to do that.

Need a @MafiaManruling here: The Top 20 Songs the CIA Used to Torture Inmates I think the CIA has some clean misses on that list: - no songs by The Carpenters or The Osmonds - "Baby Shark" - nothing by German band Rammstein
-
The statement from Mankato Athletics: " ... able to quickly confirm with the NCAA ... " So the NCAA knew. And the NCAA rolled with the USADA temporarily lifted suspension. All of this was kept very well under wraps for a long time. What was USA Olympics' and USA Hockey's involvements I wonder. That'd be a terrible thing (for them) to come out during the Beijing Olympics. Now it just sucks for McKay, MSU-M, the NCAA, and the Hobey committee.

Season Team League GP G A Pts PIM +/- 2016-17 U.S. National USHL 26 8 16 24 44 12 2017-18 U. of North Dakota NCHC 38 9 13 22 35 4 He's maybe the closest to it, but a year being "the man" for < USHL franchise here > would not have hurt him either. -
The Vitamin D story is coming from McKay's tweet. It wasn't his Vitamin D bottle that was the problem. (Dare I say they're trying to conflate D with the real problem?) From the SportsNet article The problem was, non-NSF-approved, Quercetin with the banned substance in it. Like I said, if it had been a bad bottle of D, ouch. But he admits he was taking something not NSF approved (Quercetin).
