They even put the UND logo next to his name on the jumbotron.

Hopefully Reschny accidentally puts Boisvert over the boards.

Zellers on the top PP unit for Team Blue. Mooney from UMN has had a nice game with a goal and nice assist.

Heil starts off the WJSS with a nice performance against Finland. Swanson was also on Team White and on their first PP unit. Team Blue is up next against Sweden. Zellers and Emery are on that team.

He had a great U17 tourney for Canada...on the same team as Verhoeff. Verhoeff was the leading Dman scorer for them...Preston was the leading goal scorer.

Agreed. I think it's a solid pickup. Now just still need to finalize this last forward spot. The more time that passes, the more that I think that the staff is just waiting out the last 1-2 blue chipper forwards. If one commits to UND, then great...if not, then they already have an older transfer waiting in the wings to sign (similar to how the Young announcement arrived just hours after the Martone --> MSU news was revealed).

I would guess we’ll have anywhere from 2-4 D openings next season. Livanavage, Wiebe, Zmolek, and Emery. Zmolek could use another medical redshirt for next year, but will he want to? Hard to say. Emery might get pressure to sign just because he’s a 1st rounder. That’s not even taking into account if someone like Strathmann or Jubenvill transfer out if they don’t get much playing time this year due to our stacked defense.

Seems like a solid get for 2026. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-picks-up-commitment-from-defenseman-ethan-mackenzie

Bonus structure for Jax is significantly leaning towards post-season success: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/dane-jackson-will-make-less-money-than-brad-berry-but-he-has-an-avenue-to-catch-up

You're in luck. https://nchchockey.com/news/2024/5/14/mens-ice-hockey-nchc-adds-university-of-st-thomas-as-newest-member-beginning-in-2026-2027.aspx

Would love for a couple of these blue chipper CHL guys to commit early in the new Aug 1st cycle and maybe get some more of their peers to follow.

Yes! New jersey unveiling on Thursday...finalize the roster on Friday. Let's do it!

Deleted posts and banned the user. Thanks for the heads up!

Yep. But he deserved it.

Don't the players have a vote for captains? If so, might be hard to do that already being that the roster isn't even set and some players aren't back in GF yet.

This part gets me too each year when I visit GF after moving away. The campus has really grown into a beautiful area. It was always a nice campus (from when I went to school in the late 90's), but it looks so much nicer now.

Don't forget Pionk from UMD.

Timing of both announcements certainly makes it look that way.

Desnoyers definitely has a better chance of playing 2 years at NCAA level than Martone. Just need to land the big fish.

Nice. Like a lesser-skilled Brett Hextall. Good to see that he wore a letter as well for Merrimack, hopefully he can help lead some of the younger players even if he's not wearing a letter at UND.

Well....at least he isn't from D3.
