Get Coach Hakstol helping out as a volunteer coach until he gets picked up again in the NHL.

Yeah hopefully a year or two in the WHL will help get him up to speed at a higher level.

Zakreski

Nice article on Blake and how he's doing so well at the NHL level due to his great hockey sense: https://www.newsobserver.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/luke-decock/article305628331.html

It was mentioned on here last week about how Neutral Zone ranked BGSU the #1 recruiting class for next year. Schloss did an article on that today: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/schlossman-does-bowling-green-have-the-nations-top-recruiting-class

Last day for portal entrants. We still might need to grab a dman and forward from the remaining group. Not much left in there though. Zetterberg is still intriguing to me...

If the team is attempting to become harder to play against, only one of those "lost" players matters.

The bolded part seems to represent most of Michigan's roster at this point.

You know more of this is gonna happen too with some of these CHL studs. Played on the same team as Zakreski...and had 19 more pts than him as a dman too. Yowza. Jugnauth had already played 1.5 seasons at UW before playing 1.5 seasons in Portland.

About time for another Chyz Bat Signal, I hope. Wonder if the McMorrow rumors are true when Smaby is announced.

What about Marto? Is he looking like a legit DI player at this stage?

Looks like he finished 2nd in both goals and points to Nolan Marto on the GF Bantam AA team. https://www.eliteprospects.com/team/28133/grand-forks-bantam-aa?tab=stats Possible nice prospects for the 29/30 recruiting class.

Jackson Kunz little 15yo brother got drafted in the WHL draft too. 2nd round.

Yes, but the other poster seemed to be upset that UND hired a couple UND alums for the openings. So even if Herter came to UND, it still would have been upsetting for them, I think.

Would you have rather they hired Herter? Or Hakstol? Oh crap, those two are both alum as well.

Man, what a bad take. Home ice regionals would be so much better. And it seems the only people who oppose it are teams/fans/writers from the east coast that never have to travel more than 1-2 hours to see their favorite teams play in the NCAA tourney. Shocking.

A few notables in here about PWR being replaced and portal transfer window shrinking: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/schlossman-whats-happening-at-college-hockeys-annual-meetings

Oops, posted the Lindberg link as well in the committed recruits thread as well. Yes, I think this will be a decision for both him and UND. And I'd think we'd grab a portal dman now, agreed.

This is a good decision from Lindberg...he'll be more ready to go right into the lineup in the fall of 26 rather than being the #7/8 dman this year.

Yes, it's a confusing situation for sure. They must have figured something like this would come up when they moved to the WHL.

Wonder if McKamey will stick around with the Vees moving to WHL or if he'll go to USHL...would be nice having him in Fargo to watch him develop closer:

Oh my. $250k.

Pritchard indeed heading to the Goofs.
