UND picked a poor week to visit. Hope you still have a great trip and can get in some golf!

Sounds like both teams will have their 1C back in the lineup for this series: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/first-line-forwards-expected-to-return-for-north-dakota-arizona-state

Here are the dates for the portal for the 2024 season. This next year 2025 won't have graduate students in portal any longer...no more 5th year!

Updated as of 1/5 Added Jundt to the list! Zellers with 9pts in his last 5 games...he's on a tear Bumgarner slowly getting acclimated to USHL speed...4pts in his last 5 games Simpson over 2pts/gm USHL (Forwards) Klee (Muskegon) - '05: 30gp - 13g/11a Pilgrim (Tri-City) - '06: 29gp - 4g/12a Schultz (Chicago) - '06: 27gp - 9g/10a Zellers (Green Bay) - '06: 21gp - 18g/10a O'Neill (NTDP U18) - '07: 33gp - 4g/6a Sanderson (Muskegon) - '07: 31gp - 5g/4a Bumgarner (Fargo) - '08: 26gp - 3g/2a USHL (Defensemen) Laurila (Fargo) - '06: 27gp - 4g/21a Lindberg (NTDP U18) - '07: 31gp - 0g/5a USHL (Goalies) Heil (Madison) - '06: 13gp - .886 / 3.00 (8-4-1) Other Simpson - MN HS - '07: 14gp - 18g/11a Jundt - SF Power 16U - '08: 29gp - 18g/19a McKamey - BCHL - '09: 31gp - 5g/9a

That pass was absurd.

USA WINS!

If we could stick to the old adage of split on the road, sweep at home for the remaining NCHC schedule, that would set us up pretty well for the NCHC and PWR. That would put us at 12-4 for the remaining 16 games, which is pretty optimistic with how the 1st half went.

Merrimack upsets #17 Dartmouth 2-1, which drops them all the way to #25 in the PWR. That result moves UND up another spot to #20.

Congrats to Monty on getting an A with Zmolek out: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/dane-montgomery-introduced-as-alternate-captain-before-exhibition-win?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0_rVLYM2vPPXq2sZk4M3GqAF-sLXoZRByGIz5SjE18fIwMLEnm6b-tKZE_aem_zUo44JFnMO25PujxxWyN5A

Heck of a buzzer beater...one sec left in OT!

UML up 1-0 on UNO early in the 3rd.

UNO and UML still scoreless toward the end of the 2nd. Would have huge if UNO could pull off the upset here...8 vs 42 in PWR

I was hoping Harvard would have hung on for the win against #15 UConn. UConn hovering around .500 yet still in top 15 for PWR. Harvard had leads of 2-0 and 3-2 before UConn poured in 5 goals in the 3rd. Guess not...

That's what decent teams do against teams in the 50/60s in the PWR.

ASU crushing all these teams that beat us or that we struggled to beat has me a little worried for next weekend. Hopefully the boys come ready to play and get Berg back too.

Zellers with the nice forecheck and gets rewarded with the goal.

I just went back and checked and Sacha was not on the ice at the end for handshakes or TCoS. Hopefully he's ok and can play against ASU...the last thing this team needs is another injury, especially with one of the teams best scorers.

I don't think 9 was on the ice during the skirmish. It was mainly Jammer, Strinden, Croal, and then a pile of Bisons.

SOG were 40-10 in favor of UMD in that game. Dang.

Croal 5-0
