If NIL deals are eclipsing six figures as rumored, we will hopefully get more foreign blue chips in NCAA and have fewer bolts/leverage situations. They may not play for us, but the trickle down effect brought Zellers home to UND, and a 3-4 year stud is more our style than one and done.

Minot State vs Liberty on ESPN+ tonight. Two of the top club teams.

We have 3 on the list, and Swanson is a notable omission. https://thehockeynews.com/news/2024-nhl-draft-rankings-the-first-watch-list

Too many to keep track of them all.

Hate to point this out but that was a decade ago this season.

We've had a lot of commits not make it to campus recently too. Bowen, Reid, Mancinelli, Halliday, Rizzo, Morrow, Donovan, and probably more I can't think of off the top of my head. Some didn't develop as expected, and others.... we don't need to relive what transpired.

Mentioned in the other thread how BG is fresh off a settlement with a dead students family after a hazing incident. Incredibly stupid to be doing more of it while its still on everyone's mind. As for Swankler, he will probably sit fall semester and take the scholarship from whoever is this year's blue chip that bolts to the CHL *knock on wood*.

Can't imagine the coach had anything to do with the hazing.

It seems like they are now coming down harder on people, like the guy at Western who missed a season and had to pay his income back.

The school is still reeling from this, there's a good chance they are overreacting while the ink dries on the check they wrote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Stone_Foltz

Swankler shouldn't even be playing college hockey to begin with, as much as I disagree with why.

Scroll for Boisvert's hat trick. Bleu ćhippá Looks like a Cody Croal goal was embedded too. Hockey is back! EDIT: embedded link was removed, go to Muskegon lumberjacks Twitter to see the goals.

Friday in their barn, Saturday at the X. They'll need to experience our fanbase before they commit to it though.

Glad to see it! They could probably put the Saturday game at the X and fill it up.

Poganski signs an ATO with Coyotes.

Ciskie had UMD #1 and UND #8, undoubtedly.

Not without someone building them a rink on campus. Too bad the AHL rink wasn't done that way. A higher level of club hockey in the area makes it easier for USC or Arizona to elevate if they ever get (and accept) a golden goose. Those are the two to watch in the region.

Ty Smilanic not returning to Wisconsin. Curious if he was welcome under Hastings.

The holdup on Pinto is their cap situation; with less than 800k free they need to give up a prospect to get someone to take a bad contract off their hands.

"If you're blessed with the talent, utilize it to the fullest, be true to yourself and stay humble." Describes his mentality perfectly. Congrats Jake!
