    Hopefully Dillon Simpson can use his personality to bond with these guys and convince them this is a nice place to play college hockey. 

    There's no way he doesn't have a better personality than Carle if we're battling against DU for Pohlkamp.  ;)

  2. Interesting stat on new goalie TJ:

    Another interesting stat about Semptimphelter: He's never been scored upon in a shootout during his college career. Semptimphelter is 13-for-13 in stopping opponent attempts.

    All four shootouts came this season. He blanked Colorado College (3-for-3), Dartmouth (3-for-3), Cornell (3-for-3) and Lindenwood (4-for-4).

    @Oxbow6 will be happy with that, as I know he loves the shootouts.  ;)

    An anonymous source with knowledge of the situation has told me that Pohlkamp will be on campus today and Wilkie will be on campus tomorrow. The source also says we were late to the party on Wood but there is mutual interest from both sides. So I guess we are still in the running for these players.

    Good that we're in the running on a couple of them...visiting the school is a good sign.  Time for Berry and Co to wow them on their visits.  :)

    100% Didn’t this guy lose his job at ASU? Hobie starts this guy works for PT 

    Yeah, he got injured:

    Quote

    Semptimphelter went 16-5-4 with a 2.52 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage in 2023-24.

    He suffered a hip injury in the second half of the season and ceded starts to 6-foot-5 rookie Gibson Homer. Semptimphelter was able to return for two starts late in the season.

    If Pohlkamp decides to come here…he’s taking Jubenvill’s spot? I wasn’t overly sure he’d make it on campus.

    I was thinking we'd run with 9 D then.  Everyone still comes in.
    Or, if Komzak or Benoit portal out, he'd take their spot.

    It’s not like he’s the first player we’ve gotten that’s on his third team. 

    For sure.  Johannes comes immediately to mind.

  5. Projection based on current info:

    Forward (15):
    GR - Jamernik
    SR - Berg, Kunz, Schmaltz, Montgomery
    JR - Blake, McLaughlin, James, Strinden
    SO - Perron
    FR - Swanson, Boisvert, Croal, Littler
    X - Portal

    Defense (9):
    JR - Zmolek
    SO - Livanavage, Wiebe, Benoit, Komzak
    FR - Jubenvill, Strathmann, Emery
    X - Portal

    Goalie (3):
    SR - Semptimphelter
    JR - Johnson
    SO - Hedquist

    Although UND is bringing in a transfer goaltender for the fourth-straight season, the Fighting Hawks will likely pencil in a lot more action for Hedquist, who was solid in limited action during his rookie season.

    Hedquist went 5-1 with a .905 save percentage as a freshman.

    UND's lone goaltender recruit, Caleb Heil, is only a junior in high school and cannot come to college yet. He will play his senior year in junior hockey, then UND will assess his readiness for college ahead of the 2025-26 season.

    With Semptimphelter being a one-year player, Heil could have the option of coming in 2025.

    Which school will be the first to have a General Manager position?

    I can imagine that all the assistant coaches are monitoring it pretty non-stop during these first few weeks...talking to players, agents, arranging visits, etc.
    Definitely a whole new aspect of the job since the portal era started.

  7. ASU returning a good group of 5th year forwards:

    Quote

    Arizona State announces leading scorer Lukas Sillinger (11-37--48), F Ty Jackson (6-12--18), F Dylan Jackson (7-4--11) and F Benji Eckerle (5-15--20) will play their fifth seasons for the Sun Devils, who are joining the NCHC.

     

  8. Wood / Wilkie / Pohlkamp

    Sounds like we are in the running for all three.  But I'd be happy if we are able to land one of that group.
    Each would fill a need for the 24/25 team.

    No word on any UND players entering the portal or early departures as of yet...figure if that happens, we'll start to hear some rumblings soon.

    I text my guy within the program that I heard it's UND.

    He replied that my source is wrong.

    I text and asked if it was DU.

    He replied with the zipper mouth emoji.

    That's a damn shame.
    Wood to UMN and Pohlkamp to DU would be great pickups for both.

    Could still pull a Cooley, the fans wanted him gone. 

    His production nosedived without Knies and Cooley.
    Still has a hell of a one-timer, but seems to lack initiative to get back when he doesn't have the puck.

  11. Sounds like it's official:

    https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-captain-riese-gaber-agrees-to-terms-on-first-pro-contract

    Quote

    Riese Gaber, who finished with more career points at UND than anyone in the last decade, has agreed to terms with the Charlotte Checkers in the American Hockey League on a two-year, one-way deal, according to a source.

    Charlotte is the top minor-league affiliate of the NHL's Florida Panthers.

    Gaber's contract will start next season.

    Quote

    Gaber sustained an injury in UND's NCAA regional semifinal game against Michigan last weekend.
