The Sicatoka

If one were to jump, Jackson would be my suspicion given he spent a cup of coffee with Vancouver (NHL).

I added the specific, nuanced word that allows a DII to play up in a sport. (No DII championship so you can play up.)

They want basketball to be more international so they are bringing in some of the theatrics of soccer.

Ok ... explain to me “teenth” like Juneteenth. You got a jersey with teenth on it? Whose name?

The full release: https://fightinghawks.com/news/2021/6/18/mens-hockey-north-dakota-announces-eight-incoming-freshmen-to-2021-22-squad.aspx And again we get to be the butt of the oldest joke in the book ... "tell ya next week." North Dakota is set to announce its non-conference schedule in the coming week.

Oh, he thought and researched so hard on that article ... UTexas (Dallas Stars) USF (TB Lightning) UCLA (LA Kings) Stanford (SJ Sharks) NCSU (Carolina Hurricanes) Maryland (Washington Capitals) Rutgers (Devils) UWash (Kraken) UNLV (VGK) Illinois (Blackhawks) No Iowa. No ETSU. No Lindenwood. No Navy.

Based on the words in the Schmaltz announcement tweet ("13th and final"), I'd declare this as the final incoming outcome. Forwards: Portz Schmaltz Ford (BGSU portal) Calder (LSSU portal) Kunz Constantini Defense: Bast, L Ferner (RPI portal) Jandric (UAF portal) Johnson Goaltender: Driscoll (BSU portal) Hellsten Johnson I guess they'll run with a 15F-8D-4G roster (instead of the more common 15F-8D-3G).

Gone Fish ... ing?

Are they trying to harden up some teams for the single-elimination tourney that follows? It would seem like it would be negative toward league revenues (as most leagues have revenues from playoff games go to the league).

Agree. For every PSU/Terry Pegula there's Lindenwood/Navy/another B1G/Tenn St ... and that's before bringing up RMU.

I suspect they'll end with three Zs. (Portz, Schmaltz, Kunz)

This again remains "best guess" based on Schlossman articles and what else we know, but I'm willing to say it's right there. Forwards: Portz Schmaltz Ford (BGSU portal) Calder (LSSU portal) Kunz Constantini Defense: Bast, L Ferner (RPI portal) Jandric (UAF portal) Johnson Goaltender: Driscoll (BSU portal) Hellsten (Halmstad Hammers, SWE) Johnson

I guess they're going one-by-one ...

Please?

Reasonable speculation.
