Right?! Those pre-season all-conference team selections are always indicative of how the season will end up.

Kid likes to move around a lot.

Just saw that you live in Breckenridge. One of my best friends owns the Cheese Shop downtown in Breck. He was born in Grand Forks and went to UND for a couple years.

This seems like an odd thing to get worked up about. I don't find it disrespectful of anything, let alone the football program. Of course, maybe some SCSU fans feel disrespected looking at the score on the new scoreboard, but that's ok.

Those look like mini-midriff jerseys. Cute!

Yes. It was an unofficial visit though. I never heard if Crosby visited other colleges or not.

UND got wind that he was sniffing about going to MJ...it should be easy to understand why they were worried. UND wasn't going to pull his NLI if he hadn't gone searching for MJ options. Either way, I think we're set in net for a few years, so all is good.

New players jersey numbers: 8 -- Harrison Blaisdell, freshman forward 11 -- Westin Michaud, senior forward 13 -- Carson Albrecht, freshman forward 15 -- Ethan Frisch, freshman defenseman 22 -- Shane Pinto, freshman forward 28 -- Judd Caulfield, freshman forward

I'd go after Steve Cygan from UAA. He's super fast.

Some news in Herald today. No Rowe, no Stratton, and Keane lost a year of eligibility.

Agreed. From the press release: The regional alignment and compact geographic footprint comments are their way of nixing the Alaska schools from the group, so to add ASU would go against their own statements.

So B1G wanted prestige and NCHC wanted national hockey titles. Seems to have worked out for UND and other NCHC members. I’ll take it.

Man that is a pile of USNTDP players taken in the 1st round...

I would rather the Gophers not be good. That said, we haven't been really contending for titles either since the 2016 trophy.

Adding Michaud to our PP bumps it up 5% automatically.

Sounds like Perunovich is returning for another season at UMD.

Big10 Bias.

Rumors going around are that Jack Hughes wants to play one year of NCAA hockey prior to going pro, so the UND staff is making room by holding Caulfield back one season in the USHL. Fargo, upon hearing that, took a late flyer on Judd knowing that he'd need a place to play for a season.

Isn't it obvious?

Not to mention DU commit Matthew Savoie went 1st overall. And the team that selected him also picked up the rights to his brother from Regina...Matthew's older brother was also committed to DU. Either they're really gambling on a "hope" that both brothers elect to go WHL...or they already know the brothers intentions. That can't be a good sign for the DU commitments.
