His Elite Prospects page still lists UND...not sure, I've seen both EP and the USHL pages be incorrect before. His Sioux Falls Stampede team page bio still shows UND: https://sfstampede.com/sports/mhockey/roster/caleb-heil/822

He finished with that 3-3-6 line. Heck of a game for him in a 11-4 Force win over the Stampede. Unfortunately, his future UND teammate, Caleb Heil, was in net for 7 of those Force goals (ouch, 10 saves - 7 goals allowed). Panzer also scored a goal for the Stampede in the losing effort.

They've been a bubble team all year. I really hope they fall a couple more spots...the last few bracket predictions have them in UND's bracket. Don't want that at all.

Miami looks terrible. 2-0 SCSU over Miami 2-0 WMU over UNO

Cheering for Miami and UConn tonight. Crap, SCSU scores

That's more the Hellsten we remember from last year. UNH down 3-0 to BC in the first 5min of the game. Hellsten has allowed 3 goals on 7 shots.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-using-bye-week-to-regain-health Albrecht returned to practice this week, so is looking good for return against CC. Johannes hasn't returned to practice yet.

I still think UMass slips out of the PWR bubble anyway. They have a tough six games remaining against BC, UNH, and Maine, and they haven't been very consistent lately. That would make this whole argument about not being able to put one of the #1 seed HEA schools in the Mass regional a moot point.

Latest USCHO Bracketology addresses the issue with having UMass hosting and also currently having 3 HEA #1 seeds: https://www.uscho.com/2024/02/07/bracketology-three-hockey-east-no-1-seeds-umass-falling-to-a-no-4-seed-complicate-this-weeks-pairings-beyond-belief/ Providence, R.I. 1. Boston College 8. Denver 9. Minnesota 16. Minnesota State Maryland Heights, Mo. 4. Maine 7. Michigan State 10. Providence 15. RIT Sioux Falls, S.D. 3. North Dakota 6. Quinnipiac 12. Michigan 14. Cornell Springfield, Mass. 2. Boston University 5. Wisconsin 11. Western Michigan 13, Massachusetts Even though BU and UMass are both in HEA, they could play each other in 1st round since they are five HEA teams currently in the field: This is a tough bracket for sure. Two very good teams in MO and Mass, and three very good teams in RI and SD. That SD regional would definitely be more challenging than the last Bracketology. If UND got past Cornell, they'd be rewarded with a regional final of either QU or Mich. Ouch.

UND falls to #3 in the PWR with the BU win over BC in the Beanpot. The RPI is so close with those top three teams (BC - .6171, BU - .6108, UND - .6102). #4 PWR Maine RPI goes down to .5962

One man Celebrini show.

Happy to do them! It's interesting to see some of them progress as the season goes along. I'm really interested to see how the current HS forward group does next year in juniors...as all four of them (Pilgrim, Zellers, Schultz, and Simpson) are averaging over 2 pts/gm against HS competition. Could be a very dynamic group incoming in the next couple years.

He should be able to play another USHL year, I believe. He's 19 now and would be 20 at the start of next USHL season.

UMass also currently sits at #13 and hasn't been too consistent this year thus far. They still have two games left against BC, two against UNH, and two against Maine. I wouldn't be shocked to see them fall out of the tourney unless they can pick up a few wins against those teams.

CC and WMU both help us out a bit to give us a bit more of a breather atop the NCHC. A bunch of NCHC teams just floating outside the PWR bubble. SCSU #15, CC #17, and UNO #18 UND now with a 7 pt lead over 2nd place SCSU, 10 pt lead over 3rd place CC, and a 11 pt lead over 4th place DU.

Dang, ASU with 86 PIM tonight. 139 combined PIM between them and Lindenwood.

7 goals on 24 sog for WMU. Definite goaltending issues at Denver...

Time to get ready to get some revenge on CC...

Congrats to Coach Berry on win #200!

4-1 win sweep!

Britt with a good chance at the hatty.

James with the ENG

Goalie pulled!
