Having a hard time believing the "I put my name in the portal and Jackson reached out and I didn't expect it!" from the article, but I appreciate the attempt to appear like everything was on the up and up.

https://archive.is/2026.04.14-122055/https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7192193/2026/04/14/north-dakota-frozen-four-ncaa/ One of the comments called the author out for referring to them as the Bison at first. Death, taxes, and UND being misidentified by national media.

Don't be surprised if Seattle bids now that Vegas hosted. Tough to get to for most fans, but hosting in WHL territory would be bold. Early April in the PNW is hit or miss for weather, but if it's nice and the cherry blossoms are still out at UW there's potential.

Or agent

Wiebusch following a UND fan account

It's print rather than video, but he seems like a well spoken kid. Give him a letter!

In the portal, potential 8th D candidate

RHD Michael Craig from RMU was a 2 year captain there and 2 year captain in BC as well.

Kierstad called up to the Wild

Don't worry, a puff piece in the Herald with pics of him in Sioux gear as a kid will make it okay.

Tech had a coach change

https://www.sportsnet.ca/juniors/article/whl-making-changes-to-improve-travel/ Opening up the eligibility is forcing the CHL to make itself more attractive.

Would Joe Gramer be a good depth addition on D? A la Menghini. Moorhead native so likely a fan.

As long as they are on the schedule we should raid them.

After last year's exodus the semi-surprises of Strath and Klee feel innocuous. I had Strath pegged to portal out after this season before it even began; Klee leaving after one season is a head scratcher unless he's being pushed out.

Do any of the other portal lists besides Brad's indicate "do not contact"? That's a key piece.

Evan Bushy could be a depth leader on D. TRF kid so likely a childhood fan

Keeping Klee is part of remaining a destination for former pros' kids. Simpson on staff, Blake, Young, etc. are all good for our reputation in that circle.

Neumeier is hopefully coming our way, from SK and played in Bismarck then Fargo. Klimpke's older brother I've had an eye on for a while as a potential senior presence up front a la Tyler Young. If Potter is interested, absolutely, but don't break the bank for him. We probably lose an unexpected forward and/or D. I wonder if 22 getting ice at the end of the season was to avert a flight risk. Multiple teams cutting 7 players is wild; probably teams with new coaches.

Minnesota series might move to Thursday Friday according to their ticket office. Apparently Iowa football on Saturday results in a lot of visitors.

Colby thoroughly enjoyed correcting him

With how bad Pittsburgh is playing right now Liv should get a shot next game. Embarrassing end to the rivalry.

There are very few teams UND fans will root for Denver to beat, they just so happened to be playing one of them. Simple as that. If it's DU vs. Providence, suddenly it's a home game for the Friars

Wisconsin had an extended period of time to figure us out watching film and practicing their positioning. Not the case tonight.
