Dylan James' mom posted it on X. She's never been wrong before on her posts about the team, so I'll keep trusting her until she is.

Better book the 5am departure flight in Switzerland just to be safe.

Good news at least. Sounds like Rickwood is back practicing and should hopefully be a go for this weekend against Omaha.

Looking at his numbers, it seems like he might neglect the defensive side of the puck. Last year he scored 56pts but was a -33 +/- (2nd worst on the team). This year his numbers have been bolstered, as he centers the top line with the 1st and 2nd WHL points scorers Hurlbert (Mich) and Behm (ASU). Yet he still has the worst +/- on the team at -11. Hurlbert and Behm are at +12 and +14. That's quite a difference.

Yeah I think it mainly had something to do with their return flight being Jan 2nd regardless on if the team made the finals or not. I'm still assuming that both will play both games unless their travel gets delayed.

Strinden and James need 1-2 goals each for both Mercyhurst games now. Get Ollie about 25min of ice time. And hopefully 2-3 of the current injured players can make it back. Otherwise the team will have to do call-ups from the intramural teams.

That's good. Good for him, he certainly deserves it and hopefully he makes the final team.

BU hockey article after their loss to Vermont puts them at .500 on the season: https://hockey.dailyfreepress.com/2025/12/07/bu-mens-hockey-is-in-uncharted-territory-why-and-is-there-a-way-out/ And this is shocking after watching OMac play for three seasons:

Bob realizing his mistake already and come to his senses?

Seems crazy to me that they couldn't just fly to Niagara after the Sat UNO game rather than miss both games? You know if some NHL players get released to play that they won't be at the full camp either.

Reschny, Verhoeff, and MacKenzie all named to Canada's prelim WJC roster. Now hopefully Canada will let our two boys play against Omaha this weekend.

UND swept UNO in Omaha last month, so hopefully UND can sweep them again in our barn. UND is #5 in the NPI...UNO is #31. Big questions for UND will be if Reschny & Verhoeff will be able to play both games or if Canada will want them right away for their WJC camp...and if any of the injured players will be able to make it back into the lineup. Would be great to get Rickwood and Zmolek back, especially if Reschny and Verhoeff are gone. Hard to believe that the first half is already almost done! Keep it rolling boys!

Brock Schultz really heating up! 7pt weekend for him.
