UND was gonna delay Panzer a year, that's why he went to BSU. I'd guess that Andrew is taking the spot of Klee, since he's going back to juniors for one more season.

I'm thinking this is our final roster. With Klee already announced as captain of his jr team for next season, I'd guess that Littler comes in as well as fresh recruit Andrew. Forward (15): GR - Jamernik SR - Berg, Kunz, Schmaltz, Wilkie JR - McLaughlin, James, Strinden, Montgomery SO - Perron FR - Swanson, Boisvert, Croal, Littler, Andrew Defense (8): JR - Zmolek SO - Livanavage, Wiebe, Komzak, MacDonald FR - Jubenvill, Strathmann, Emery Goalie (3): SR - Semptimphelter JR - Johnson SO - Hedquist

No disrespect to The Killer, but for 12 wins in a row, it should be a pic one of the best Twins to wear #12.

Nice to see him having a great postseason thus far. Same with Swanson:

Doesn't sound like we'll be moving to home site regionals anytime soon. Surprise, surprise, but the western leagues were pushing for the change...but the eastern leagues did not support it. Drinking the Wodon kool-aid. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/home-regional-idea-does-not-gain-traction-at-naples-meetings

This sure is a different way to announce your portal transfer from NMU to RIT. Hints of trouble in NMU-land?

There's literally 47 football items available for the 7 players. https://www.siouxshop.com/authentics/football/

Jubenvill with another goal tonight:

Swanson is the leading scorer in the USHL playoffs thus far. Nice.

Nice. Another year to improve and gain experience. Will help him be ready to make an immediate impact in 2025 at UND. Littler coming this fall then? Or another portal forward?

Like in another 4 months.

I can't imagine Michigan throwing Werner a ton of NIL money to get him to leave CC. I'd guess that something else is going on that had him enter the portal.

Pretty late to be entering the portal at this point. Assuming he knows where's he going then.

Pinto and Sanderson on the US Men's National team roster:

Emery, Laurila, and Heil on the U18 World team. Berry should try to flip Hensler with all the draft picks bolting UW lately.

Yeah that is a tough start to the season. We'll see how we measure up against some quality Eastern teams right away with Prov, BU, and Cornell. Would immensely help out the PWR if we can get a winning record out of those 5 games.

Looks like I'll be trying to get some ASU tickets in January. Haven't been to Mullett arena before, but it's only about 20min from my house. If anyone road trips down, let's grab some drinks!

League game schedule gets released tomorrow:

Devine returning is big for DU after they just lost Broz, S Buium, Behrens, and Rizzo early to the pros. I would guess that Z Buium would return as well since he's still so young, but who knows...maybe whoever drafts him will want him in their program right away.

Good get for them.

Forgot to answer this question. I think it was said that he played like 3-4 minutes in the game against MI, so even with Pyke out injured, he wasn't on the ice much at all.
