There seems to be a lot of USHL bound players opting for the CHL instead, not the other way around.

The Rodents will have more CHL recruits as time goes on considering more and more MN kids will opt for the CHL over the USHL going forward..

Last I heard (early last week) was that Western was still trying to get him eligible to play.

Love seeing Johnny Toews back on the sheet. A lot of folks had him pegged as a 4th line center / depth add for Winnipeg Not so much. He’s currently centering Jets 2nd line, on the PP and dominating faceoffs . He looks real good.

Agreed. Love the roof in that barn. Beautiful town and campus as well.

UND’s non-conference schedule is put together very thoughtfully with the #1 goal of receiving an at large bid to the NCAA tournament. Splitting it between traditional powerhouse / rivalry programs (quality wins / strength of schedule) and high win % chance / games we should win 90% of the time. Dave Hakstol was very successful making the tournament with this formula. As fans we all want every non-conference game against blue bloods and desirable destinations but there is actually a very methodical reason for who they schedule. Conference realignment played a big part in this. There’s teams we play that don’t get everyone too excited about but in theory, it’s great to play the top teams of weaker conferences. This is huge in the pairwise. We also need to play “weaker” non-conference opponents for high win chances because of how strong the NCHC is.

Livanavage one of the first 4 selections announced to the US collegiate selects team.

I agree. He’s a bottom six player. Had he stayed for another year of development, he’d be a top six player through those 500 games..

I 100% agree with this as well. Had he stayed, he would’ve been a different player .

He will play in his 500th NHL game this fall. Do you know how many former Sioux have done that? It’s less than 20. You don’t play 500 games in the show if you weren’t ready.

I’m gonna give JJ a pass on last nights game. 2nd NFL start. 3 starting O Lineman out. #2 receiver out. And he just became a father a few days ago. That’s quite the week with focus on more than just football.

Interesting

It’s not Central High School. It’s Grand Forks Central. Sorry, pet peeve…
