https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2016/06/19/teuvo-two-blackhawks-reportedly-sign-nick-schmaltz/ Looks like Nick signed with the Blackhawks on June 19, 2016. Definitely not as late as Jasper...that would have also been before the NHL development camps as well.

I really only recall that happening once to us (player leaving school due to good performance at camp) in the last couple decades (correct me if I'm wrong). I wouldn't worry about it. Weatherby was an outlier.

Just the narrative in your brain, I believe.

They have a say. Some players have even changed their numbers from year to year. JPL did that a few years ago.

2 Ryan Sidorski, D, fifth year 3 Ty Farmer, D, fifth year 9 Jackson Blake, F, freshman 21 Ben Strinden, F, freshman 22 Owen McLaughlin, F, freshman 26 Dylan James, F, freshman 34 Drew DeRidder, G, fifth year

https://www.tsn.ca/juraj-slafkovsky-shane-wright-bob-mckenzie-nhl-draft-ranking-1.1818585 Bob has Dylan James at #61. He has a couple NCAA commits in the top 10 with Cooley #3 and Gauthier #5.

Yeah that's correct, I graduated HS with her. She was always a really good dancer. Cool to see that her and Karl's daughter is also quite talented!

He's probably taking the sword so Mel won't have to.

I heard he was a #grindaz

I thought it was just UND that lost these commitments? Michigan loses a recruit to the OHL:

Oct. 1 — MANITOBA (exhibition) Oct. 7-8 — HOLY CROSS Oct. 14-15 — QUINNIPIAC Oct. 21-22 — at Minnesota Oct. 29 — vs. Arizona State in Las Vegas Nov. 4-5 — at Omaha Nov. 11-12 — DENVER Nov. 18-19 — MIAMI Nov. 25-26 — at Bemidji State/BEMIDJI STATE Dec. 2-3 — at St. Cloud State Dec. 9-10 — at Western Michigan Dec. 31 — U.S. UNDER-18 (exhibition) Jan. 6-7 — LINDENWOOD Jan. 13-14 — WESTERN MICHIGAN Jan. 20-21 — MINNESOTA DULUTH Jan. 27-28 — at Miami Feb. 10-11 — at Denver Feb. 17-18 — ST. CLOUD STATE Feb. 24-25 — at Colorado College March 3-4 — OMAHA March 10-12 — NCHC quarterfinals (at higher seed) March 17-18 — NCHC Frozen Faceoff (in St. Paul) March 23-26 — NCAA regional (in Fargo) April 6-8 — NCAA Frozen Four (in Tampa)

That's an odd final three mix. Seems like the top scorers from the BCHL are all going to non-traditional powerhouse schools. Top scorer Wood going to UConn, #2 Rickwood going to Clarkson, then #3 & #5 Tassy and Wilson both going to MSUM. And maybe #4 Dyck as well. Tassy is going to turn 22yo during his freshman season at MSUM. I wonder if Wood will honor his commitment to UConn or consider other schools? He's only 17yo and just led the BCHL in scoring (the youngest in the top 5) and isn't scheduled to go to NCAA until 23/24 if Elite Prospects is correct.

Antti Tuomisto leaves DU after his sophomore season to sign a pro deal in Finland.

I'd be completely fine with him taking up the Garbage Collector role.

This goal was Bast doing his best Sanderson impression...and doing a pretty good job of it, too.

I can't believe an NHL team is gonna play there, let alone a NCAA team...the whole arena looks so small. Looks like the size of Purpur Arena.

Defensemen (8) Fifth-year Chris Jandric Fifth-year Ty Farmer Fifth-year Ryan Sidorski Senior Ethan Frisch Junior Tyler Kleven Junior Cooper Moore Sophomore Brent Johnson Sophomore Luke Bast I'm guessing we'll be going back to the portal next season for some dmen. My bet would be that we'll lose Jandric, Farmer, Sidorski, Frisch, and Kleven from this list next year....leaving just Moore, Johnson, and Bast as our remaining d-corps. Depending on how many of our current dman recruits are ready to join the NCAA ranks.

They certainly looked ridiculous skating that trophy around the ice in Tampa.
