It's great to have it on ESPN+. More international games on that platform, por favor.

Weren't they a 1 seed when Bemidji beat them last year?

If campus sites can't bid, super regionals are the only way to make sites like Allentown and Manchester work. One east coast, one mid to major metro out west. Detroit Chicago/Milwaukee/Madison MSP Omaha Denver/Springs St. Louis can potentially attend itself into consideration in a few years when they host.

Taking the family to Vegas for Spring Break every year? Sign me up!

Two super regionals now that we have days off in between games. Home sites is better but too many self interested coaches will block it.

Someone already on the team will take a leap. Too much raw talent for nobody to do so. Farmer could unleash Moore to play more offensively.

So is everybody else. Hopefully some more finishers at the NCAA level emerge beyond Gaber.

Motzko is getting them too. The sky isn't falling on UND, but we need to be getting studs from the Canadian prairie to make up for missing on blue chips from the cities.

I don't think it's an act. I generally like him as a coach, interviewee and face of the program. But I'm also a city dweller, and his pace, tone, etc. don't match mine, shall we say. He seems genuine to me, and if you dig through my posting history this is the closest I've come to criticizing him. Just wish he was a little more intense. Not PJ Fleck intense, just....moreso.

Berry's gee shucks persona is not my favorite, and I would wager it costs us recruits, but him staying calm as it transpired hopefully keeps that possibility alive.

Honestly, let's just hope the staff and Spicer remain on good terms and he can transfer in with ease. Struggles but adapts as a freshman, breaks out So or Jr year, and comes home.

What is UW? DU definitely has a rich kid daycare reputation, but it is also a top dog in rich kid sports like hockey, lacrosse and skiing (lax I root for y'all).

That's well put.

If they were telling him up until recently he was coming in, that was definitely a mistake on their part. You're as dialed in to recruiting as anyone on this board, so if you say that's the case I believe it. He needs to do what is best for him, hopefully he isn't making career-impacting decisions out of spite. It's likely that he was considered a low flight risk as a local. Will be interesting to see the reception he receives if he ever plays at the Ralph

I think that was Mitchell Mattson. Donovan decommitted right as the high school season was starting.

He decommitted prior to putting up those stats though.

If he's willing to bail like this, he likely would have bailed after not getting much ice as a rookie. ‐--------------- Not related to the above: Donovan isn't the only player we wanted to wait a year on who didn't pan out after rushing to college lately. Mancinelli and Reid aren't stars at ASU or UNH. The former is in the portal.

This is the same reaction this forum had for Donovan. Sucks to lose a local kid, but I don't see him above any of the others being brought in.

Reviewing how he spent his previous allowance...sounds like a middle schoolers nightmare.

No idea, but with the glut of independent teams it's good for the game to schedule one every year.

He's been mentioned, discussing whether or not his scholarship as the son of professors would count towards the team count of 18. But according to a scout he has a 4.0 and a near perfect SAT/ACT; he should go Ivy or NESCAC with that.

I heard Nanooks for the January games, but no guarantee of a return trip to Fairbanks.

Tyson Dyck named first team BCHL and remains uncommitted.

Quinny back up St Cyr is in the portal. Surprised he hasn't been picked up yet, likely a top choice at this point.
