Happy Friday, everyone 😉

Really? The best player in hockey history wore 99 nearly 50 years ago. Hardley a tradition just now being tossed aside.

Brad is the most knowledgeable college hockey reporter in the country with the best connections. If he says that last week there was no indication that McKenna was going to UND, then trust that was the case last week 😉 He also knows many more details than what he publishes so never assume you're getting all the details about players returning to their old teams or players not committing.

Sources say Landon Thiessen has committed to play hockey at North Dakota. Originally from Williston. Press Release: https://na3hl.com/news/story.cfm?id=40702

On field (and sideline) performance leaves a ton to be desired with Chaves, but if you look at the non game-day stuff, it's clear he's done an incredible job of fundraising and bringing in new facilities to set the teams up for success. Definitely room for improvement still with the soccer field and GameDay basketball experience, but the training facilities are top notch.

The staff will keep a couple roster spots open until after the NHL draft. Expect some CHL kids to get drafted and their nhl teams will want them to go ncaa instead of another year in Canada. There will be enough of those types of players in the first three rounds that UND will be able to get a couple to fill out the roster.

Based on recent history, that just means a player on the team is leaving.

Why not just screenshot the whole article if you're going to steal so much of it anyway.

Seeing your picture, your post makes less sense than tariffs on uninhabited islands.

When a player comes to UND, they're only given a one year scholarship. So, if the school can decide to move on after one year, why shouldn't the player also have that opportunity?

Sorry to hear Eric and I met up a few times whenever UND came out to Colorado and were usually the first folks tailgating for football games at UNC. Condolences to his family.

There are a lot more outcomes from University research than just "accomplishing anything." Often times, these are used as opportunities to help students develop the necessary skills to properly conduct research and experiments. That's also why even if Cal Poly has solved 1+1=2, it's still relevant for students in North Dakota to start on something easy to learn how to do more complex things properly. With that built up knowledge, students then either stay to continue research at the University, enter a scientific field themselves to conduct research, or move into a corporate/advisory setting where the knowledge they gained will help with moving research forward. For a student to get to work on a project where they learn the skills, can contribute to a bigger picture project, and potentially get published while still in University is massive for career growth and the field of research, be it medical or cow tipping.

It would have actually made it incredibly hard because then anyone can share their thoughts. You want UND taking input from NDSU fans? From people who show up for one game every few years? From people posting joke comments?

It's really unfortunate that the only way UND accepts feedback is through this one poll only sent to the single name on a tailgate pass. Oh, wait that's not true at all. So many people upset they're not included on a targeted survey. There are plenty of other ways to share your input.

You have to go all the way back to last year with Ludvig Persson. Before that? The two years prior with Jakob Hellsten.
