I assume you mean Hedquist? I believe he was originally committed to CC. (Huson was a midseason add from the club team. )

I think everyone prefers traditional recruiting. But currently how things are, transfers are needed to balance out our senior and junior classes so we have space for our recruits in the next couple seasons. IMO, Berry was over reliant on the portal to put a bandaid on recruiting failures. It’s not sustainable long term to keep doing that, but we only return 5 forwards from last years team and we were not going to bring in 10 freshman forwards.

Other teams also use the portal way more than UND does but those teams don’t seem to get half the criticism.

I think they may have been linemates when they played for USA in those summer tournaments (Hlinka, 5 Nations)

Divver’s sources are probably Hockey East people who are making assumptions. There is no reason for his dad and sister to follow UND on instagram if there wasn’t something happening. They aren’t local to the area and don’t appear to have any connections to the program.

Guess someone should update his Elite Prospects page - they describe him as a two way center.

He was brought on to run our power play and the national championship team had about a 19% power play conversion. Talent dropped off in the years to follow but the fact that the power play on the 2016 team wasn’t great is pretty surprising.

Zellers and Kernan are friends so it definitely didn’t hurt.

Did you miss the part where the guy pushed his head to the ice while he’s laying there?

They will get used to it. We have never really had anyone posting things like this on Twitter before!

Lol was hoping to let the kid announce first so I thought I’d tell everyone who wanted to know how to do so.

you can find out who it is by looking at who UND follows on instagram… (it’s not a CHL player)

Half of this fanbase still doesn’t know what NIL is. They probably think it’s the same as donations to the Alumni Foundation. 1883 needs a massive marketing and PR effort to get the word out better because what they are doing now isn’t getting the point across.

I actually got in an argument with a Western Michigan fan about their Coach’s misinformation that their players don’t get any NIL. They have a NIL collective - their players get some NIL. He told me the school doesn’t pay NIL and that the collective is “different” than the school giving NIL. So clearly a lot of people think schools are paying out NIL?

It is the “we don’t know about” that makes everyone uneasy right now.
