Same with Spirko! Dang, can’t believe Sparky is still out there.

Schloss keeps a running tally of former UND players across all the pro leagues (even Europe) on the Herald website: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/a-list-of-where-und-hockey-players-have-signed-pro-contracts-for-2024-25-season

Jackson Smith to PSU is now confirmed. Seems like it's been in the works for a couple weeks now.

I don't know how many birthday parties I went to at Italian Moon when I was growing up...but it was a lot.

Looks like he's staying in the OHL this season and then planning on going to PSU in 26/27:

I wonder if UND is one of the 4-5 schools that he's even talking to. Hopefully Bryn and Jax can at least get him to come in on a visit and then work their magic.

With good reason. Have to escape the hell hole! Fall semester starts back up mid-Aug and if ASU is anything like other hockey schools, the team members come back in July to start team workouts. For these Canadian kids, the temps in July-Sept would be a complete eye-opener from anywhere they've ever lived.

As someone that lives in Phoenix (for now), one of the main reasons that my family and I are leaving in the next couple years is due to the weather. I'd take a Grand Forks winter over a Phoenix summer any day.

Fantastic article on incoming forward Cole Reschny. Really sounds like UND has a winner here: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6302768/2025/05/01/cole-reschny-nhl-draft-2025-prospect/?source=emp_shared_article -
Nice article from Schloss on Oshie: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/schlossman-t-j-oshie-never-looked-too-far-ahead

Hagens signing after the draft?

Will we see a bat signal this week or are we thinking any new additions will be after the draft now? Schloss and his gang seem to think that UND will stick with 8 D for this year...if so, just need 2 F (and we need to cross our fingers for no long-term D injuries again). -
But he keeps bringing up his Cornell education?

Laurila and Reschny had good showings at the Combine: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-freshmen-cole-reschny-sam-laurila-top-fitness-categories-at-nhl-combine

Latest rumors are McKenna to PSU. It's like a different team "rumored" every week. Haha. I still can't picture him going to PSU, where the offensive scheme seems to be to just throw the puck on net from anywhere on the ice.
-
Wodon literally can't stop with this argument, he just refuses to back down. What a horrible take. How does he suggest we get better atmosphere at neutral sites? And if he has legit ideas, why haven't they been implemented over the last 15 years?

Miami hires a GM now too. Bryn setting the example. These other guys have a lot of work to do to catch up to Bryn though.

That's a lot of new players in one season.

Get that kid a Shooter Tutor. -
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Lindberg will be playing this upcoming season back home in Fargo for the Force before coming to UND in 26/27:
