Nice! ZParise with a One More Shift on Feb 14!

CHN Ranks UND's recruiting class as #2 in the nation behind just MSU. They also have Verhoeff at #3 and Zellers at #5 in their top 10 freshmen list as well. Can't believe Reschny didn't make that list too...especially over someone like Ryder Ritchie...Reschny put up 30+ more points in the WHL last season than Ritchie, and is also a year younger. Either way, good news for UND. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2025/09/28_Freshman-Focus-Analyzing.php

Dylan James...will light up those Bisons.

8 Days until UND Hockey Returns!!

Been almost 2 months since the last Schloss podcast, kinda crazy with the season almost upon us. Which means that the next time they release a podcast, we can expect a big recruit announcement the very next day.

Great quote from that Zellers article:

Ha, noticed that as well. Here was their reasoning: I have no doubt that he'll put up a pile of points. It'll be interesting to track all these CHL, USports players to see how all of them do at the NCAA level. ECHL and AHL guys too, I guess.

Dang, Heil dressed (and played) in an NHL preseason game tonight for the Lightning. Pretty cool experience for him.

NCHC.tv has the full comments from the Commissioner but not any of the coaches...I'm hoping they add those later as well.

Dane and Liver spoke during NCHC Media day. Jake already rocking the sweet stache.

14 Days Until Hockey!!

Sick goal from Simpson here from tonight's game. Great toe drag around the defender and then cuts it all the way across the crease.

Verhoeff #2 and Reschny #7

He's gonna be a fun one to watch next year at UND. A lot of nicely skilled forwards coming in...if guys like Reschny, Zellers stick around and get to play with guys like Simpson, Williams, McKamey, etc...going to be some loaded forward top lines.

Not sure. Haven’t seen anything official on it so I’ll keep him on the list until I hear/see otherwise.
