    2023-24 University of North Dakota Hockey Season

    in Men's Hockey

    Posted

    Like many of you, I am feeling cautiously optimistic about improved d-zone play from our 8 new defensemen.  However, I'm mildly concerned we may see a significant drop in offensive production.  Last season's 8 Dmen combined for 111 points.  When I look at the incoming D corps and account for past performance and level of competition, I'm coming up with a napkin-math projection of 80 combined points.  Would love nothing more than to be wrong!

    Here's a fun exercise.  As I was brainstorming the potential output of each of the new Dmen, I found myself trying to find a comparable UND Dman from the past 20 years or so.  Here's what I arrived at:

    Pyke = Frisch

    Pehrson = Ausmus

    Zmolek = ?

    Britt = ?

    Weibe = T. Poolman

    Benoit = Peski

    Livanavage = Johnny T

    Komzak = ?

    Thoughts?

    Don’t overlook the 1st round bye. It’s a good thing and UND should obviously shoot for it. Not having to play a extra game and immediately being one step closer to the National Championship has plenty of positives too.

    UND absolutely should’ve won in 2016 versus Richmond. But they didn’t. The coaches and players have most likely learned from that collapse and won’t repeat it. 

    The way UND came out of this recent bye, I'd love to see them get another one!

    So, you have JBD probably coming in a year earlier than the coaching staff planned (for a good reason obviously). This caused Casey Johnson  to move full time to forward. My question would be, I think we now have 1 more forward than usual. There's no really incoming forwards that could be pushed back. Does everything think there will be a Wilkie type situation this summer?

    I'm not sure Keane is coming.  As an undersized forward I'd expect scoring to be his calling card, but his production in the USHL and BCHL hasn't been there.  Also, his eliteprospects page doesn't look like the others.  Just my own speculation, but it seems like that would make the forward numbers work out.

    Wow, hard to believe Shaw is already a senior. 

    Serious question, do people think Coach Shaw will stay at UND, or that there will be a change? Whether that be Shaw looking for a different opportunity, or UND look for a new coach, or whatever. I don't care about the reasoning or who's decision, just curious if anyone sees a potential change there, with his kid no longer being at UND after this next season.

    Thoughts?

    I've wondered the same.  Being that he arrived the same time as his son, it's easy to speculate that they'll depart together.  If/where he goes and who initiates the change are open questions.  Nothing would surprise me.  He has experience as a NHL assistant and USHL HC, that's a nice resume.  Plus he's not a UND lifer.  Perhaps he's more open to other opportunities than Berry or Jackson.  Those are my thoughts.

    Obviously we all hope and expect our team to return to the NCAA tourny next season, but I'm surprised there hasn't been any discussion on here regarding how absolutely critical it is that they do so for the sake of experience.  Next years senior class, except Jones, will be able to share the lessons learned from their magical run to the Natty as freshmen.  The juniors will have a grand total of 1 NCAA game under their belts.  The underclassmen will have none.  This team is only a year away from not knowing what a Frozen Four is like!  I think that those experiences produce more success, more experience, and so on.  It is THAT cycle that I hope remains unbroken even though the NCAA streak is over.  The team was actually quite good this year, and I'm not in the alarmist/sack Bubs camp, but we need to start a new streak right away.  The end.

    This isn't going to be easy, but there simply won't be a better opportunity for two wins in one weekend the rest of the way.  And since it appears our Pairwise hopes are perched on the edge of a cliff, anything less than a sweep would be bad news bears.

    I thought the B1G was moving away from games against FCS for CFP resume-building purposes? Am I remembering this wrong? Does anyone know the rest of that story? At any rate, this is happening and I'm excited.  My wife and I lived in Omaha for 4 years and this might be an opportunity to visit the area again.

    COMMITTED UND Recruits

    So I check out our commits periodically on eliteprospects.com via Schlossman's blog and I've noticed something curious.  The past, present, and future teams are listed for each recruit and UND is listed as a future destination for all but Jackson Keane.  A while back it was listed there.  Does anyone know what's up with that?  Is he no longer in our pipeline?
