Rickwood? Gordon?

What does this mean?

Gophers likely want him too. They have just as many holes as us

Considering James is likely to be a captain or the captain next year, I would assume he would be one of the first people outside of the coaching staff to know. Also, Rickwood likely knew where he was headed before he even entered the portal a couple of days ago.

His dad and sister both follow UND hockey. Interesting that they both would do that after he hit the portal

I do think Perron and OMac were soft and easy to play against in their own end. I do not think their offensive ability is replaceable through the portal but getting bigger and stronger players creates a new dynamic that UND has lacked in recent years in my opinion. If we are able to land both Gordon and Rickwood, we are a CHL/portal center away from having our roster complete.

Andrew

Rickwood’s family members recently followed UND hockey on instagram. Gordon also follows UND hockey. Take what you want from that information. Most players are tampered with in the portal. If these two guys commit to UND, they likely knew it before they even entered their name in the portal.

I wonder if UND views Gordon as a center. I know he has the ability to but so does Strinden and Swanson. Either way, getting both of those guys would be huge for next year.

All signs are pointing towards Ellias Rickwood joining UND next year. He will fill a much needed top 6 center role.
