Quite a season and postseason for Swanson. He was named the Clark Cup MVP as well. Can't wait to see what he can do this fall at UND!

Brian Swanson Played for CC in the late 90s. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/13642/brian-swanson

They only have to win 9 national titles to pass us! Getting close!

You mean @mprpich? We need to get him posting again.

Shoot forgot James in my list of players to make a nice step next season. Get him into the top 6 with some high end talent and he’ll shine.

UND leading scorer this upcoming year? That said, I’d like to see nice jumps from OMac, Perron, and Berg next season. Those three could lead this team offensively.

Agreed. His numbers don’t jump out as being ready for making the leap to D1 hockey just yet.

Swanson made it on the All-USHL First Team. Boisvert made the Third Team.

UND / UMN series back on starting in 25/26: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-minnesota-sign-four-year-deal-for-future-mens-hockey-games

UND was gonna delay Panzer a year, that's why he went to BSU. I'd guess that Andrew is taking the spot of Klee, since he's going back to juniors for one more season.

I'm thinking this is our final roster. With Klee already announced as captain of his jr team for next season, I'd guess that Littler comes in as well as fresh recruit Andrew. Forward (15): GR - Jamernik SR - Berg, Kunz, Schmaltz, Wilkie JR - McLaughlin, James, Strinden, Montgomery SO - Perron FR - Swanson, Boisvert, Croal, Littler, Andrew Defense (8): JR - Zmolek SO - Livanavage, Wiebe, Komzak, MacDonald FR - Jubenvill, Strathmann, Emery Goalie (3): SR - Semptimphelter JR - Johnson SO - Hedquist

No disrespect to The Killer, but for 12 wins in a row, it should be a pic one of the best Twins to wear #12.

Nice to see him having a great postseason thus far. Same with Swanson:

Doesn't sound like we'll be moving to home site regionals anytime soon. Surprise, surprise, but the western leagues were pushing for the change...but the eastern leagues did not support it.

This sure is a different way to announce your portal transfer from NMU to RIT. Hints of trouble in NMU-land?

There's literally 47 football items available for the 7 players. https://www.siouxshop.com/authentics/football/

Jubenvill with another goal tonight:

Swanson is the leading scorer in the USHL playoffs thus far. Nice.

Nice. Another year to improve and gain experience. Will help him be ready to make an immediate impact in 2025 at UND. Littler coming this fall then? Or another portal forward?
