What happened?

Blake will have 30+ pts this year. James won't be far beinhd.

Remember, we will see the Gophs once a year at most during the regular season. Who cares, they aren't in our conference. Same with Michigan. We continue to be the front runner for top Canadian recruits + we are landing 2-3 top USA recruits each year. If I was an NHL team, I'd want my players playing in the NCHC. Minnesota HS kids from the Twin Cities (non SSM) that go to the Gophs don't worry me one bit..How many of those have turned out to be great college players in past 20 years?

Bump

Stoney - what are the early lines in practice so far?

Eiserman doesn't follow UND on IG. That tells you all you need to know. He follows BU and Minnesota.

12th overall pick in the QMJHL

Keith McInnis, EJ Emery, Will Zellers

@stoneySIOUX Who is here on visits this week??

No NCHC schools have committs today, yet.

Hopefully Sacha Boisvert and Keith McInnis land at UND.

Skahan to Wisconsin

Frost to BC.

Who are you hearing will be the main targets?

5 days from a bunch of potential new recruits. No chatter?

Yes. His dad played football for UND also.

Which HS players from 2020-2021 are playing juniors next year?

Correct, it is.

LOL. Not a chance.

Who are the finalists for NCHC Commish?

I heard the Grand Forks Blue Line Club bought the Diamond Bar.

Does anyone know what exactly happened between UND and Morrow/Rizzo? No one has ever found out those details. I don't believe we ever dropped either of them.... For Ryder Donovan and Mitchell Mattson, UND told them to both go play a year of juniors, they didn't agree, and both turned out to be bad college players because of it. Jake Marto was supposed to arrive 2006-07, but was told we want you to play another year of juniors. He was bummed, but instead of complaining, he had a valuable year in the USHL as a 20 year old then stepped into UND ready to play 2007-08, rather that sit in the stands. For Spicer, obviously it would be hard if your other 22 teammates are all headed to college next year and you are told to go play in the USHL, but you have to think long term. Look at Adam Scheel as a great recent example. Worked out great for him (BCHL).

Sillinger was not well liked by anyone in Bemidji. And not a great teammate either. We dodged that bullet. There's a reason he picked a team that is not in a conference.

I'll guess he goes to Duluth.
