McKenna already fell through dude. He’s going to Michigan.

No one cares about bowling green

That’s not what he was talking about. There is a certain academic path (courses) you have to take and it matters when you take them to be NCAA eligible. A lot of guys weren’t planning on going NCAA route so they didn’t care about this. Sure, some guys have bad grades but that’s not the point here.

Also, I am guessing that the coaching staff doesn’t want 6 freshman coming in when they are trying to balance classes. A depth senior or junior and 1 more freshman make sense for that plan. We shall see how they play it out though.

Seems unlikely they add a 1st round talent from the CHL at this point

Former Minnesota-Duluth and Niagara forward Kyler Kleven has entered the portal. Moorhead native, really good friends with Anthony Menghini… Could be a solid depth addition, but we’ll see where it goes. Played for Waterloo when Chyzyk was in his first year with the Blackhawks.

Called him a depth player… so not mid tier… I think we’re ok letting this one go.

It’s 2 young kids who started dressing as Seth Jarvis and Jackson Blake for Halloween. They’ve kept it going all year. Season ticket holders I’m guessing.

Maybe he’s just done with hockey…

The game was at 4 on a weekday dude…

I think it’s more likely they get a guy or 2 that is a 2nd-3rd rounder from the WHL than a top name. Would still be pretty happy with that.

James not offensive but was 2nd on the team in goals with rarely any power play time. Seems pretty good offensively to me.

Pointless. He’s going to Michigan.

Zach Sandy? Yep

Agreed. I was trying to say that I’m not sure who will have overall better teams in head to head competition between USHL and CHL if CHL teams lose some of their older players. As we see in college, older teams win

A team from Michigan and a team from Denver playing in St Paul, Minnesota should be a sign of what a game between a team from North Dakota and a team from Minnesota will draw in crowd numbers?

Don’t see them getting that currently

The USHL will lose out on more high end prospects, but the CHL is also gonna to lose out on keeping a lot of their players past high school graduation.

It’s pointless to complain about the schedule. Brad Berry was most likely the final say in these current non con matchups. Hopefully Jackson has a different mindset but we won’t know until some matchups start to get setup.

Haha, I’m just kidding around. But if they do happen to wait until Friday, maybe it’s not a coincidence…

2nd one with St Thomas is on Sunday, not Saturday.

No, they’re only announcing commitments on Friday’s under chyzyk and 2 a day is the max. Sandy and Gordon will be official on Friday.

Definitely going to take a drop off in level of program for him to start for sure

Yes, this has been obvious since Homer committed. He wasn’t going to be a backup for 3 straight seasons.

I’ll be floored if I’m wrong on that.
