He was originally a #1 pick in the USHL projecting as a blue chip prospect. His star faded, fell off the draft boards, etc. I believe he decommitted, rather than have his offer yanked. The latter is usually described as "no longer committed".

How much of his scoring is due to having Fantilli on his line?

Spicer turns 18 in June. He might benefit from another year in juniors. We'll see.

St Thomas playing with the lead in the 2nd period against Pedo State. Sucks that we lost to them, we need them to succeed so much more than if we'd won. EDIT: tied up as I typed that

An interesting approach to NIL. UND hockey should convert one of the residences near the Ralph to something like this. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2021/11/oregon-ducks-athletes-to-earn-nil-money-by-serving-as-airbnb-hosts.html

Some NIL avenues are starting to pop up.

When Lucia said they just need to get over it was hilarious. Tail trying to wag the dog.

Did she end up taking the not so subtle hint and stop attending their games, or did she see it as her "nevertheless she persisted" moment?

Wasn't that long ago you guys swept at the Ralph....

No wonder their players and alumni don't want her attending their games.

That's definitely from last year and not from this past weekend. They didn't wear that jersey either night. Not sure if this post was in jest.

Reffing was atrocious and inconsistent. Both coaches had multiple reasons to be unhappy with the officiating. Driscoll had his best game of the year.

3 was also Ness getting his pocket picked and not recovering.

Any video clips/GIFs of the dive? Which one, you ask? Specifically the James dive Kleven got called for.

This year we clearly live and die by Sanderson. Our D was anemic without him. Driscoll has been better than his stats suggest but he has yet to steal a game.

Stupid play but typical Duluth dive. Crumbles at the knee when hit in the face.

Good to see some of the new jerseys in the student section

Cade Littler is at a ppg as a 17 year old in the BCHL. He and Landon Parker are the leading scorers on Wenatchee. With a dad from Minot we have to be high on his list.

Huge if true.

The knockoffs wouldn't be as prevalent if they had gone with the new jerseys from day 1. The jerseys they've had since March 2012 (!) look terrible without numbers, and are still boring with numbers. Can't believe it took this long to get the wheels turning on their replacement.

https://hockeysense.substack.com/p/hockey-sense-roundup-international Peters unlocked this article, says Spicer's stock shot up recently. Good to hear.

I like it better than the Nashville, but more than anything both are better than existing. Took way too long to replace the stop gap.
