https://www.therinklive.com/junior-and-prospects/ushl/storm-and-stampede-open-season-with-wins-day-1-standouts-from-ushl-fall-classic Heil also picked up his first win in net.

Yes. Hardly an all-encompassing list for sure, I think he meant it mainly for recruits that would be recruited by every college and recruits that he knew that UND and other nearby schools would be after.

James Hagens (BC) LJ Mooney Logan Hensler (UW) Zachary Morin (BU) Sascha Boumedienne Sam Laurila (UND) Garrett Lindberg Cullen Potter Cole McKinney (Mich) William Moore Lukas Sawchyn Charlie Trethewey (BU) Andrew O'Neill (UND) Caleb Heil (UND) Masun Fleece (PSU) Drew Schock (Mich) Jake Stuart Jacob Rombach Cooper Simpson Carter Murphy

CHN Preseason Top 10 teams: https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2023/09/20_2023-24-CHN-Preseason-Top.php They have UND at #6 and join DU (#3) as the only NCHC teams.

I suppose better there than UM or UMN.

To be fair, those early committing Lucius brothers worked out well for MN.

Nice to clinch at home!

Looks like he's started the year off nicely this year already too.

Damn that’s stacked! Some fun years upcoming hopefully! I heard Potter possibly MSU and Hagens bros Michigan? All rumors but it’d sure be nice to land Potter or Mooney. Either would turn that recruiting class from “excellent” to “elite”.

Yeah he de-committed from BU like a month or so ago.

Score!! Zellers!

UND set to play two series against Clarkson in a couple years: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-set-to-play-clarkson-in-pair-of-future-hockey-series?fbclid=IwAR36zUjdQNRvRMtzjO3wglZGimBDMJA6icvDPArPqduGg0jnx5bKjEM0yXM

They list their top 10 USHL Prospects and UND commits are four of those 10? Nice, I'll take it.

Weird to see Mankato so low in the CCHA pre-season poll:

Talk about waiting until the last minute to enter the transfer portal:

Schloss latest podcast went over all the other teams in the NCHC, and unlike the SCSU podcast, he actually seems to know what he's talking about when discussing other teams and their losses and incoming players. They're gonna cover UND in more detail on the next podcast, but he did take the time to mention...once again...how great Perron looks in the practices. He seems genuinely excited to see what he can do once the season actually starts. So I'll take that as a good sign.

Boisvert with a hatty and Croal with 2g. They both started the USHL preseason off right.

UNO fans are getting their pitchforks ready.

UND has lined up non-conference games against St Thomas: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-lines-up-two-future-hockey-series-against-st-thomas

I don't either. The people that are using that as a negative aspect to this year's team obviously didn't watch how horrible UND's overall team defense was last season...especially the early part of the year. Part of that falls on the forwards as well, but getting a fresh start on D isn't a bad thing from where things started last year.

Here's Ciskie's complete list: https://kdal610.com/2023/09/12/8-thoughts-early-look-at-the-nchc/ I think he has SCSU and UMD both too high.

Yeah for sure. Five teams with at least one 1st place vote and UND leads the way with 12 but still finishes #2 in the poll. I think it'd be hard to ignore the amount of forward talent on this UND team, and the pollsters agree...if the Dmen can gel early and Persson plays up to potential, this team has the skill on paper to compete for some trophies at the end of the season.
