Never. According to GPL (where I go for most of my UND-related fact checking), our entire roster is almost always 95% Canadian, and 85% of those are over the age of 26.

East Coast Bias

That year turned out horrible for UND.

Crazy that BC didn't "make it work" for him. Big loss to their incoming class. Wonder where he'll end up now? A late add to a different NCAA program or MJ?

He's going to be an excellent hockey player for the Gophers. But man, I laughed out loud when I read that he didn't record a single pull-up.

Oh man, sad day. I have Brad Miller's game-worn black Sioux jersey #13 when they had past Sioux players names on the shoulder that had previously worn the same number. So it's a Cherski/Miller jersey. I thought that was pretty cool when I got it.

They don't have any roster space until 2025-2026 season though with all their committed recruits. Not sure he wants to wait that long.

They must be anticipating losing half their roster that year.

He joined the other 73 committed UW players for the next couple seasons. Granato is following the Eaves mantra: "just sign them all!"

I've wondered that as well. He didn't exactly have good success at OSU...only 6 pts in essentially one season (only played 3 games Soph year before going BCHL). He's done great in those two BCHL seasons though. Excited to see what he brings to the table.

Article on Wilkie transferring from the CC Gazette: http://gazette.com/north-dakota-forward-chris-wilkie-transfers-to-colorado-college-hockey/article/1602824 He took a little longer to adjust to the college game than originally anticipated with how his last USHL year went, but he might have been one of those players that really blossomed in his jr/sr years. With the depth at forward that UND will have next season, he might have been worried about watching too many games from the stands. He has a great shot though, just couldn't get it off as much as we'd have liked. Best of luck at CC, Chris...unless you're playing against your old team.

Someday I hope to have enough money to where my daughter can sue me for $200+ million.

That's a horrible question to ask...who are you going to miss the least. Just a question to stir up drama.

Yeah our incoming recruiting class is pretty weak. Not a single top 10 pick at all!!

Schloss broke down the huge playoff run that Kawaguchi is on: http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=106691 Pretty darn impressive. Hope he picks up the college game quickly.

I've met Burd. The guy doesn't have a sarcastic bone in his body.

USA wins gold over Finland 4-2 in the U18 tourney. Mismash with a goal in the gold medal game earlier today.

Is she now looking up "endowment" in the dictionary?

I think most of our fans are pretty optimistic about next season. A good core group coming back and some studs coming in. But depending on what DU returns, they will also be good and could make a run. I think that's just what people are saying. Not like it's a sure thing DU goes back to back or anything.

From the article: Eight players in the Olympics? Holy crap, why hasn't this been mentioned before?

One returning dman that played regularly and no goalie with significant playing time usually doesn't make for a great season. Let's see some DU players opt for the pros too.

Only one series against UMD should lessen our chances for a long term injury to one of our top players. I like our chances more and more for next season!

Oh man, very early season test for both teams.
