Geez, c'mon. Seriously Bryn, do whatever it takes to get this kid here for one season. Just one season. Would be so much fun to watch.

Yep. I’d be ok bringing in Simpson if he keeps this scoring touch rolling unless he is 100% ok doing a full year in juniors. Same with Schultz.

He had that one ready to go too after that PSU guys comment.

2 teams make the dance. Both make the F4. One wins the title.

Congrats to WMU. NCHC keeping it in the league once again. As much talk there is about B10 and HEA, NIL $, etc...it's nice to keep that title west.

That puck was under his pad for like 2 seconds before they blew the whistle. Again, blow the whistle when the puck is frozen. Not difficult.

If you're a BU fan like Bucci and Colby, this period is flying by.

Michaels has turned it on in Bump's absence from the scoresheet. Maybe he'll have to follow Bump to the pro's after this season for the sake of the NCHC next season.

Do these refs just refuse to blow the whistle when the puck is in WMU's crease?

2 loose scramble goals for BU that Hampton should have covered otherwise we'd be looking at a nice 3-0 lead.

Or maybe they're going after some BU 1st rounders to portal over to pay them back for traitor Boisvert. And Herter too.

Nah, Jammer graduated.

Duncan if I'm not mistaken.

If they post the associate position on Monday, that could be a sign of that. Unless Herter absolutely loves Kalamazoo, I could see him making another lateral move as Assoc HC...he held that position at UMD before leaving for the same position at WMU. Wouldn't be too far of a stretch to do that same move to head back to his alma mater. I think they'd be ok. They came to UND on the same FR class in 88 and from everything I've heard, are pretty good buds.

Agreed. Littler too. He ended the season strongly.

If he comes back for another year as has been rumored, I think he'll be the first return Hobey winner since Duncan, correct?

Meh. He didn't put up many points, but he was by far the youngest player on the Force...probably one of the youngest in the entire USHL? Jax probably asked him if he was fully committed to UND and he couldn't answer, as he went to a different HS every single year. He would have been a college player that you wouldn't be surprised if he portals to 3-4 different schools in his NCAA career.

For sure this fall: Zellers, Klee, Zakreski, Laurila Maybe this fall: Schultz, O'Neill, Lindberg, Heil, Simpson I guess not surprising with how he went thru high schools.

I still think that Jax & Co have a couple high end CHL guys that will slot into some of those C/W openings.

I guess we're not getting Gault, like was earlier mentioned. He's heading to NMU:

On the flipside, Menghini could be a bigger loss for UMD than he expects...he led the team in +/- both his FR and SO seasons. He was their best 200ft forward that can also score goals. I think he'll fit in quite nicely at UND.

Forwards (10): SR - Strinden, James JR - Menghini SO - Swanson, Littler, Croal, Andrew FR - Zellers, Klee, Zakreski Defense (8): SR - JR - Zmolek, Livanavage, Wiebe, Komzak SO - Emery, Strathmann, Jubenvill FR - Laurila Goalies (3): SR - JR - Hedquist, Homer SO - FR - Huson (RS) Other current committed recruits that could come in this fall: G - Heil, D - Lindberg, F - O'Neill, Schultz, Simpson
