Isn't his bro a year or two away from arriving at UMN too?

https://www.ushl.com/news_article/show/1216926 Both former UND commits. Halliday now going to OSU and Miller unknown, of course.

Word seems to be that Kleven is leaning towards coming back for next season. Good news if true!

It's probably a safe assumption that UNO won't be making the NCAA's anytime in the next few years.

That'll be a good dman pickup out of the portal for someone.

For sure. And regardless of what happens in this years F4, Michigan is going to lose two lines worth of first rounders after this season. They have a couple more incoming and a couple might stay for another year, but their team won’t be as good (on paper) next season.

Right away.

WMU soph forward Ty Glover has signed with the Penguins. Assuming that Attard signs (which he will), that means that WMU will lose 7 of their top 9 scorers from this year. It sounds like their goalie Bussi is getting offers as well.

Nice! You and siouxweet both with perfect brackets thus far. Who'd you pick for the last three games?

UNO and UMD departures, I expect to hear from WMU/SCSU soon and MI/DU/UMN in a couple weeks.

Holy crap what is going on in Omaha? Mass exodus.

Ha! Talk about weather extremes. I grew up in GF and now live in Phx. The 115deg summers take awhile to get used to...and you still don't go outside much for any prolonged time.

Depends on what level of player you were IMO. If you had a shot at the NHL, you'd want to pick the school better prepared to help develop you for the NHL. And in that regard, there's many many schools better than ASU.

Including one that was previously committed to come here.

Ooh, I'm interested.

They don't.

This is a list of rinks that are better than REA? Oh my. Kohl Center? That's not even a real hockey rink, let alone one that is better than REA.

We made it to the final game of the season a couple years ago as the #1 team but couldn't get past the vaunted Covid team.

We should try that.

Not if the Mavs upset the three college powerhouses and take the trophy. But yes, for sure.

That's my order too.

The UMD fans on twitter won’t like that, they expected him back.

I would say it's been a long time since UMD didn't get "the luck" in this tournament. Maybe they've used up all their magic luck beans and it'll start falling the other direction for a few years now.

If Hedquist is on board with the plan, it sets up the goaltending nicely for the next few years: 22/23 - DeRidder GR / Hellsten SO 23/24 - Hellsten JR / Hedquist FR 24/25 - Hellsten SR / Hedquist SO 25/26 - Hedquist JR / TBD 26/27 - Hedquist SR / TBD Gives both Hellsten and Hedquist a couple years each to take the reins and run with it if they can.
