And just checking UConn's team page...man, they are young too. Of their top 12 scorers, only one is running out of eligibility this year. Their top 2 scorers are only SO. They could be good for a couple years if they don't get hit with too many portals or pro signees.

Congrats to Sacha! Definitely deserved it. Now...1 (or 2) more years! Also...TH won NCHC Media Excellence Award. Also deserved. Poor Ciskie was in the running as well, he didn't stand a chance.

UConn beat BU today to get their spot in the HEA championship. UConn is surprising this year for sure.

Looks like the collective gets 15% of each contribution and your selected sport gets 85% of it.

It allows you to select which sport you want your contribution to go to in the checkout.

Thank you for posting that. I decided to finally put my $ where my mouth is and sign up my business for The Flagship Membership. Just doing my part to try to keep Boisvert/Perron/Emery/James in town for another season.

You are correct.

Not well if I recall.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-hoping-to-get-past-semifinal-hex-at-the-x Gonna need to break that hex if they want their season to continue. Their semifinal record is similar to their NCAA first round record lately.

No worries.

Haha, after 15 years of setting records with consecutive 100+ days, we're kind of done. Living in ND winters, at least you get periods of respite where it's 10-20 instead of being in the negative. Even the nights are 95 here in the summer. It's just relentless. I live in Phx, AZ currently...not ND. Downvote? Ouch. I was born and raised in GF...spent the first 25 years of my life there. I would prefer that over living in Phx like I do now, and it's more than just the weather. But I don't think my wife would let us move back to GF...she's from MI, they can't handle the ND winters. Ha! Agreed on Pacific NW!

As long as you're not required to be anywhere in the vicinity of the campus for the middle 6 months of the year. My family and I can't wait to get out of here...we're moving back to the Midwest in two years when my oldest graduates HS.

I know who's paying for dinners if that's the case.

A full 60?

I think if anything, all the missed NCAA tourneys is enough to move on to another coach. I'll give Berry kudos on that title in his first year...he was an assistant under Hakstol the years prior to the 16 title, so you know he was involved in recruiting all those guys. I know a lot of posters say that he won with another coaches players...I won't go that far. That said...that team was talented enough that they probably still could have won with me, Wilbur, and Oxbow as the coaching staff. But the lack of success the last few years has been increasingly frustrating. A program like UND missing the NCAA tourney should happen at most once every decade during a rebuilding year or something. And then all these one-n-done's if they do make it. Even if UND manages to win both games this weekend to snag a NCAA tourney spot, I would be disappointed if this coaching staff has their contracts extended.

Hobey Finalists were announced: Buium (Denver) Devine (Denver) Fink (Penn State) Gadowsky (Army) Howard (Michigan State) Leonard (Boston College) Martino (Clarkson) McLinskey (Holy Cross) Snuggerud (Minnesota) Tracy (Minnesota State)

Agreed. I thought so too. Wonder if these guys got medical redshirts or something to give them an extra year of eligibility?

People have been mentioning rumors about guys like Boisvert, Perron, Emery, etc once we knew the season was kind of tanking. I have no inside info on any of this, so not sure if people are just making guesses or have knowledge that specific schools have been reaching out. In this portal and NIL age, nothing would surprise me anymore. Seems that the sense of loyalty to your school goes out the window once some $ gets tossed around. That said, those three players (and other big pieces) are integral to upcoming season(s) for this program. If Berry wasn't already on the hot-seat due to how this season (and really the past few seasons) have gone, then I think that fire would really need to be lit if impact players like that start entering the portal from under his nose. It's one thing for players to leave to sign pro deals, but another to have highly drafted players leave due to money / playing time / coaching structure / etc. It's going to be an interesting off-season. I hope next fall that we see most of these guys still playing for UND, but who knows.

A few more with UND ties on that list too:

What are you hearing?

Old article from Schloss about the timeout game. Great read with all the quotes from former players and coaches: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/ten-years-after-the-famous-timeout-game-the-players-and-coaches-tell-the-story-in-their-own-words

Emery is still listed day-to-day. Hopefully he can go...

Man it was fun watching those guys skate back in those days. Speed kills indeed. Guys like Panzer, Spiewak, Notermann, etc. Plus there were about 9-10 penalties that would have been called in today's game in those final five minutes.

Of the teams in the current top 15 of PWR...if UND doesn't go on a miracle run, I'd be rooting for Maine I think.
