Morrissey terrible turnover and then doesn't backcheck quite hard enough to prevent the pass

Hauser terrible goal against

Quinn Finley has looked awesome so far

Rooting for Wisconsin, most of the ECAC is fraudulent

Nope, although I would say Denver is almost as good in Western Canada & have established very good connections in the Twin Cities recently. They're the only ones in the conversation. Even though it will never be a core recruiting area, still wish North Dakota could be regularly in on players from east of Lake Michigan (Michigan, Ontario, Pennsylvania/New York/New Jersey, & New England specifically), especially now with the CHLers eligible and the potential to get some great players from the O

Confident that Chyzyk has Plan A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, & J in place based on various end of season outcomes, players signing pro/coming back, portal losses, current committed recruits needing another year of junior or ready to come in a year early, and targeted recruits showing more or less interest in North Dakota than previously believed. Excited for it all. With CHLers NCAA eligible now, the player pool is so large that Chyzyk/Jackson should be able to land the players they want & feel best fit the program every year.

Not a screamer, but there are points after a goal where he's just too excited and gets a bit annoying. I like Weekes from a macro standpoint and he does his research when given new assignments (usually in the NHL world where he does 95% of his work), but I don't expect him to be great knowing some of the key details of the NCAA world & its players like the diehards around here would know. TL;DR: You might get a bit annoyed with him for certain reasons, but he's generally fine. -

Not a well versed NCAA Hockey guy. Sometimes talks just to talk when doing color. Much better in studio than color IMHO -
Would love the Ruck Twins. Clearing future roster spots means that Chyzyk/Jackson have to know that they're getting a couple high enders like the Ruck Twins, Carels, DuPont, Rudolph, Lin, etc. A productive offseason would be securing a minimum of 2 of them.

Off topic & not directly NCAA Hockey related, but still so devastated about the loss of Jessi Pierce & her 3 children this past weekend. An absolute legend of the Minnesota Hockey community and media sphere, heartwarming to see those across the hockey world pay tribute to her. 💔💔❤️

2025-26 University of North Dakota Hockey Season

Boston University's problem was they were too young and their young talent they brought in was nowhere close to as dominant of young talent as they needed -

Guessing that was Michigan (Verhoeff said it came down to North Dakota and Michigan at the end of his recruitment) -

It's mildly weird, but he also grew up in a boxing/MMA/UFC gym as his dad runs one in Quebec -

Average age HS senior in Canada. The school year grouping is the birthyear (Jan 1-Dec 31), thus all 2008s graduate HS in 2026, all 2009s graduate in 2027. Verhoeff is in the middle -

They aren't great either IMHO

Wish 247 Sports or someone equivalent actually covered NCAA Hockey Recruiting in depth. Puck Preps only does in small doses & they're hit or miss.

Literally laughed at Gophers fans saying online they'd be done as a fan if the coach & majority of the roster were Canadian. Not the first times I've read that either. Mentally insane insular tribalism from a lot of them.
