We have three now...first Zakreski, then yesterday Reschny & Verhoeff.

Schloss compiled a gathering of the social media responses to yesterday's big recruiting day. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/social-media-reacts-to-und-hockeys-big-day-on-the-recruiting-trail

Any chance that Gavin is good friends with Cole & Keaton?

Yeah if Recheny and Verhoeff both stick around for 2 years, then add McKamey and Williams to the group as well…

Victoria is looking like a budding pipeline to UND. McKamey is playing in Victoria next season before coming to UND as well.

Ah nice, I was wondering if that was why you posted that pic of him a few days earlier. So they did exactly that. This coaching staff has been making all the right moves so far. Really hoping we see a changed product on the ice this fall from it!

TSN posted a short article on the commits of Reschny & Verhoeff. https://www.tsn.ca/ncaa/2025-nhl-draft-prospect-cole-reschny-2026-prospect-keaton-verhoeff-commit-to-north-dakota-1.2314698 The video link at the top is the two of them combining to score the OT winner for Canada in the U18 semi's. Hope to see a ton more of that this upcoming season!

Haha, I was literally typing it up during your post.

Two huge pieces today and all of a sudden this lineup looks much much better. Down to just two more guys needed to finalize this fall's roster...one F and one D. That D-corps will be the best in the NCHC, probably one of the best in the NCAA. Forwards (14): SR - Strinden, James, Rickwood JR - Menghini, Gordon SO - Swanson, Littler, Croal, Andrew FR - Zellers, Klee, Zakreski, Kernan, Reschny Defense (8): SR - JR - Zmolek, Livanavage, Wiebe SO - Emery, Strathmann, Jubenvill FR - Laurila, Verhoeff Goalies (3): SR - Sandy (RS possibility) JR - Homer SO - FR - Spunar

Didn't Hrkac and Joyce commit on the same day too? +1

DuPont and Lindberg, nice duo. Sky's the limit for recruiting for Chyz after today. Line em up and it’ll be fun watching them on the ice.

That is a truly elite d group. Hopefully some of the guys that don’t get as much playing time this year stick around because I’d guess Liv and Wiebe are gone for sure.

Wow. Just wow. Keep them rolling Chyz. Already can’t wait for this fall. Two absolute massive pickups on the same day.

That’d be my guess too.

Yes

Add Bear and we’re set for forwards for next season. Just need another D or two to finalize roster.

Yeah she called the Rickwood commitment about a week before it was publicly announced. Hopefully she’s correct this time too. Yes, he’d be a great pickup!

Benoit goes from UND --> Quinnipiac --> and now to Long Island.

My guess is that they’ll pick up 2 dmen still to get back to 9 again. They certainly needed all of them last year.

Oh my, some '02's!

New recruit Cooper Williams won both the Rookie of the Year and Forward of the Year award for the Saskatoon Blades.

Nice!
