Yeah it'd be tough to guarantee a good spot for him in next year's forward group with what we have returning & incoming already. Already a very elite group of five forwards coming in with Ruck, Ruck, Williams, Sanderson, and Fitzhenry. McKamey and Jundt waiting in the wings as possibles too if they have big seasons in the WHL...although still guessing both of them get pushed to 28/29. Only senior forwards are Triple M group of Menghini, Magnussen, and Malinoski. Reschny will sign early. Zellers a possibility too, but still holding out hope he comes back for JR season.

Sounds like SGC heading there too for next fall. Filling up their holes already, since they'll lose Schifsky, Perron, and Moldenhauer for sure and probably Hage and Horcoff as well after this year.

Really good pickup for Michigan for 27/28 season.

Agreed that he'll be a good NCAA player, nice snag for UW. He's like a smaller version of Kawaguchi. It'll probably take him a couple years to get used to playing against bigger/older/stronger players, but he'll be a great JR/SR.

Seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

UNO just doing UNO things.

Agreed. Think we get two of those?

Great get for them. Was hoping we were the frontrunner for him, because I doubt we get Daley.

Yeah it’s pretty tacky IMO. And way too much text for a center ice logo.

Nice to see the new goalie commit already out on the town doing community events!

I predict that Hicks will have more losses in his first month this season than he did all of last season.

Ryan Sikes did a detailed stats prediction model to predict the NCHC standings for this year. Interesting read for the teams. Probably a couple mistakes, I noticed he still lists Gajan for UMD in net. https://rmshockey.substack.com/p/2026-27-ncaa-season-nchc-roster-outlook His predicted order of finish: 1. DU 2. UND 3. UMD 4. WMU 5. CC 6. Miami 7. UST 8. ASU 9. UNO 10. SCSU

I heard that he's calling it Moneypuck.
