Per Mike Chambers (Denver Post), BCHL forward Landon Smith had the opportunity to replace Adam Tambellini at UND but he opted to keep his commitment to Quinnipiac. Smith was previously committed to Denver. http://blogs.denverpost.com/avs/2014/01/21/landon-smith-bchl-scoring-leader-nhl-free-agent-former-denver-and-north-dakota-recruit/16508/

A little insight on Tambellini's decision http://www.hitmenhockey.com/article/similar-situation-for-tambellini

Schlossman says Shaw visited over holiday break and picked UND over Minnesota, Ohio State, and Denver

Schlossman:

Shaw confirms - Very excited to announce my commitment to play my college hockey at the University of North Dakota #GoSioux — Hayden Shaw (@hayden_shaw28) January 9, 2014 More info on Shaw http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/college-hockey-recruiting-ncaa/2014/1/8/5290272/hayden-shaw-commits-to-north-dakota

Chris Dilks reporting defenseman Hayden Shaw (Woodbury HS) has committed to UND

Salt in the wound, Tambellini just scored a goal for the Hitmen. And he has two assists.

Herald article - http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/281817/group/homepage/ Tambellini told the coaches Tuesday night and left this morning. He is playing with the Hitmen tonight.

Schlossman said Tambellini told people he wanted to produce more offensively and play in the NHL. Schlossman also was told it had nothing to do with grades and that the Rangers played no part in the decision, it was all Tambellini.

The Penrose Cup will be touring all the NCHC schools during the second half of the season http://www.nchchockey.com/news_article/show/325661?referrer_id=878553 It is scheduled to be in Grand Forks February 14-15

WHL - Calgary Hitmen https://twitter.com/...963454518710272 Tambellini had 4 pts in 16 games

Tambellini is leaving the program

Webcast is clear

Jared Bethune (Warroad) committed to UMD with his good buddy Kobe Roth (Warroad). Not sure how much interest UND had, but I recall Schlossman saying Bethune was a player to keep an eye on.

Via Schlossman I like that he's not afraid to tell it like it is. Hopefully this loss serves as a little humble pie and the guys play a solid game tomorrow.
