Tossed. Only 6min in.

Schloss ends the controversy just like that.

Schloss commented on Twitter that Rizzo is "almost for sure" headed back to Penticton next year. And that he'd have more info on that soon.

This is where Berry needs to make the hard decisions and earn his keep to make this team better. Rizzo is more talented than a couple upperclassmen, so it would seem logical to cut an under-performing upperclassman to make room for Rizzo/Michaud to both come in.

Agreed. I wonder if this pushes Rizzo back (or anyone)? Someone posted that Berry had mentioned that Rizzo might go back for one more year of juniors after all his injuries.

Posted in other thread, oops... Nice! I was hoping we'd land him after he announced he was transferring. He'll instantly provide a boost at center, a position where we lost 2 seniors. Big get (for one year)! Should make the CC series more interesting. He would have been UND's top goal and point scorer this year.

I think next year's team takes a couple steps forward. One, because our offense/PP can't get any worse. Just not possible. Two, our incoming recruiting class is already more talented than our outgoing players. Three, the rest of the league (and outside of NCHC as well) is losing a ton of players to early departures. Already looking forward to next season. And I'm cheering for UMass at the Frozen Four. It'd be cool to see the title stay in the NCHC, but I really can't cheer for DU or UMD. Let is go East for one season before coming back West next year.

Nice to see these high end local prospects committing.

Man that team was talented.

Agreed. Does anyone else remember Trupp's freshman season exhibition game against Manitoba? When the Manitoba player had a breakaway and Trupp raced behind him, dove, and then lifted the stick and poked the puck away (all while in the air)? That play epitomized Trupp's entire career at UND and he showed it off in his very first game at REA. He showed that he was going to be a special player right then.

Freshman forward Gruden from Miami signed with Ottawa. Had a big 3 goals for Miami this year...must have prepared him for the NHL!

If the UND hockey team was a stock, you'd have wanted to sell after the 2016 National title. And, if I was speculating, now is when you'd want to be buying the UND hockey team stock.

Nice!

Our tickets for the Frozen Faceoff (when at the Target Center) were just a few seats away from sprig and his group. He would always make a point to come over during intermission and talk. Very nice man...he will be missed. RIP sprig.

He already had Boeser on his list, unless this Boesser character is a new recruit?

I think UMass makes the final. They looked good in both regional games.

I agree. Haven’t been impressed in any of their games that I’ve seen this year.

They posted the big upset PWR rankings on Twitter: -Holy Cross (21) over UMN (2) in 2006 -Bemidji State (37) over Notre Dame (2) in 2009 -RIT (25) over Denver (2) in 2010 -RIT (38) over Minnesota State (1) in 2015 -Ferris State (30) over SCSU (2) in 2016 -Air Force (27) over SCSU (1) in 2018 -AIC (31) over SCSU (1) in 2019 Holy Cross was actually the highest ranked PWR team from the upsets, but it was the first of the #4 seed over #1 seed upsets, so it was huge at the time. Going strictly by PWR, the RIT over Mankato in 2015 was the "biggest upset". RIT has twice been the winner in these upsets...and SCSU has been the loser three times (every time as the #1 or #2 overall seed)...ouch.

Do you believe in miracles?

Talk about playing with your head. 2-1 AIC

One more period to redeem this for SCSU.
