Yeah, his older brother Mason left after his Sophomore year. I'd bet he will get opportunities to jump ship.
-
Davies wins 3-1.
-
Shoot first for sure.
-
Bad Minot turnover and its 1-0 Davies.
-
Interesting game #2 here. Minot battling like crazy and its 0-0 in the third.
-
3-2 Final. First time in Scheels arena for the state hockey tournament. Caught the end of Jamestown and Sheyenne, great atmosphere.
-
And the Blue Navy, and the Colorado Rapids, and Fox Motors, and The Green Bay Jr. Gamblers, and the Des Moines Jr. Bucs, Little Caesars..... Can't blame kids for leaving when you get 22 games. I can't afford it for my kids, but a good amount can.

Sad that less than ten years ago you had back to back state champions from the West, and now its hoping that Jamestown can find away against a team that played 10 kids total against GFC to scratch their way into the tournament. From the coaches meetings that I sat in I got the impression from the NDHSAA that the region tournaments are never going away. Maybe that has changed since I was coaching, but I don't ever see them going to a statewide league or cross region bracketing like they did 30 years ago.

Current NCHC Standings: 1. UND.....45 Points. (Western, @Omaha).....Extremely likely top two finish for UND. Control their destiny. But then again Omaha can help. 2. Denver.....44 Points. (@Omaha, Home/Away CC).....I'll say that Denver wins the league based on them getting CC to end the season. 3. Western Michigan....37 Points. (@UND, Miami).....The three seed is where they'll be. 4. Duluth....31 Points. (@Miami, SCSU).....Getting Miami at the right time, then home against their likely first round opponent. 5. SCSU......26 Points (CC, @Duluth)....Sweep CC at home, won't be enough....likely split in Duluth.....likely double trip to Duluth. 6. Omaha....25 Points (Denver, UND)....Could be super and sweep Denver this weekend.... 7. CC....18 Points (@SCSU, Home/Away Denver.....Either in Grand Forks or Denver. 8. Miami....14 Points. (Duluth, @Western).....The last place finishers unless something special happens. Wilbur's First Round NCHC matchups: Miami @ Denver CC @ UND Omaha @ Western SCSU @ Duluth Lets hope I'm wrong (again) and we are sharing the Penne Rosa at Baxter.

So Johnson is probably the odd man out on d, unless we dress 7 d men, which is also a possibility if Gaber can't go. I think the series at Lawson proved these teams are pretty close. Hopefully the home crowd can push our guys to at least four points.
-
I've been told all you need is quality goaltending....
-
Duluth gets the SO win. Fanti pretty good in the net for them.
-
Shootout for a point.....
-
SCSU 0-7 on the PP....wha????
-
They actually called the Face mask??? Like really? Wow....and on Duluth??? Next on the bucket list is interference against a bulldog defenseman.
-
Alright, prediction time: Sheyenne over Jamestown 3-2 Davies over Minot 5-1 South over Mandan 8-0 Red river over Legacy 6-2 Semis: Red River over South 3-2 Davies over Sheyenne 4-1 The Ship Davies over RR in OT.....4-3.
-
I completely agree with the tournament going back to three consecutive days, but I think that ship has sailed. I think only a few of the hockey coaches in the EDC are teachers anyways, which is what sparked the start it on a Tuesday anyways.
-
Did they make it back?
-
The KNOX (Cunningham) guy is hot on Twitter about the Fargo teams not coming to Grand Gorks for the EDC title game. Even throwing out Fargo schools making their own league if they don't want to come to GF. IMHO a bad take with the weather situation, and when was the last time they didn't come to GF for the region tournament? Three blizzards in four days and a bevy of accidents on I-29.
-
I'll say East sweep, but the afternoon session will decent games. Would be fun to see the Jays in the semifinals again. Been a while.
-
I think Sheyenne played 10 kids today total. The only way they were going to beat Central. Hats off though they got it done.
-
I thought this as well honestly. I'd much rather play Mandan than Minot first round, but seeing Jamestown/Sheyenne round 2 is much better than the big red monster on the other side.
-
They did it earlier this year against Sheyenne, and put their starter back in when Sheyenne got a couple.
-
South just changed their goalie.... Up 2-0....
-
RR definitely deserved to win that one. Chances all OT long.
