The MinneKota Cup!

Can't remember the last time we had so many award winning recruits in the USHL. Blake, McLaughlin, James, Strathman, Perron all with all USHL or all rookie.

Not sure if we offered, but Leo Gruba to Cloud. Both parents are alum, not a surprise.

To any current players who read this, some names to use: Painting Sue, Mower Throwers, and many more. https://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/2022/05/eager-oregon-state-beavers-isaac-hodgins-football-teammates-use-nil-rules-to-form-a-yard-service-business.html

Watch the replay below of Hain's goal ending their season last year in the NCHC semi. Tuomisto took a VERY stupid penalty to give us a PP, and after the goal he coasts across the ice and slams his stick.

Corporations in MN are willing to pay higher taxes to pay harder workers less money than they would have to elsewhere. Minneapolis is the American middle class's last stand.

Augustana already in the CCHA, assumedly. Would be a shock if it's Lindenwood or an entirely new program.

2 for Oshie so far tonight

Stech again

Trevor Moore and Troy Stecher with LA's two goals so far tonight.

Wrist injury and then knee injury. https://unothegateway.com/from-car-ride-to-concussion-omahas-jake-harrison-and-jason-smallidge-share-unique-bond-through-injury-plagued-season/

Jason Smallidge is a right hand D with NCHC experience, and as a MN resident gets a discount on tuition in lieu of a scholarship.

Tyson Dyck up to 110 in final scouting ranking. Any other uncommitted prospects ranked?

Jake Schmaltz? Kidding

A big part of Senden's appeal was he captained his high school and junior teams to championships (both were underdogs too, I think). Let's see if he's got the NCAA in him.

Any time I read a Wellens article it makes me thankful for Schloss. https://www.therinklive.com/mens-division-1/nchc/umd-mens-hockey-bulldogs-land-usa-hockey-ntdp-center-cole-spicer-for-2022-23-season Seriously, the lede starts off with a sentence that an editor would rewrite: " The Grand Forks native was originally committed to North Dakota, having already signed an NLI. " The was serves no purpose, there's passive voice, and he assumes the audience knows what an NLI is. The quote he pulled from Spicer is garbage too. Then he randomly inserts a tweet that he doesn't even address.

Choosing Duluth effectively makes his ability/likelihood to transfer here non-existent. Time to start prepping the personalized chants for his appearances at the Ralph.

Wearing Sioux gear in the northwest has resulted in people asking me if I'm a pilot. UND is a flight school to many.

Can only imagine how much of the money given to these kids will be pissed away. A financial literacy course needs to be mandated by the NCAA as a condition for receiving anything. Pretty sure the collective is already named: The Good Ol' Boys Club.

Looks like the people running them are former compliance officers for athletic departments. Reminds me of the hippies with JDs whose goal was to work in Environmental Law and then wound up working for oil companies to help them navigate regulations.

Have we started a UND hockey collective yet? https://www.si.com/college/2022/05/02/nil-name-image-likeness-experts-divided-over-boosters-laws-recruiting

It still seems odd looking at USHL draft results and having none of them committed to a college.

Was it always shared with women's soccer?
