Final 8-1. Nice sweep after last year's debacle. JBD with 4 pts

UW beat Merrimack 11-5. Caufield already with 4 goals early in his NCAA career.

First UND goal! 8-1 UND

7-1 Smith from Senden

Ah that's a darn shame. Hopefully the first of many losses for them this season.

Hard to read too much into these exhibition games (I mean, even Duluth lost... ), but Manitoba tied Omaha 3-3 tonight. Omaha scored in the 3x3 OT to "win" it.

That was right in the middle of my days at UND as well. Some amazing teams went through there, plus the atmosphere of the old REA.

The changing hockey landscape has something to do with Duluth being beautiful and St Cloud being fast growing. Interesting.

Agreed.

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...
