RIT or whoever wins AHA most likely.

We have a 1.5% chance of finishing in the top 13 and a 2.5% chance of finishing in the top 14 in the pairwise. I can get us to #15 after Saturday night with a sweep and RIT, UConn, Northeastern, Merrimack, and cornell all getting swept and Sparty losing to Minnesota.

Go Spuds. My REA seat neighbors kid with a big goal!

OK. You win.

You said I flat out lied? You said they had several games where they drew 4-5k a game....there was 1 game where they drew over 4k in the history of the program. On average by season over the course of 13 seasons UND drew 864 fans per game(ranging from 309 per game in 06-07 to the high water mark of 1485 in 11-12). the cost of those tickets varied from free on up to I am sure $15-20/game.

So there were not games with a few hundred in attendance? I know they had the Gopher games where they drew about 5800 in 2014 and 3300 in 2015 which were far and away the largest crowds ever for a UND women's hockey game so I don't think they had multiple games with 4-5k in attendance. Minnesota averaged 1815 fans per game in 2013-14, 2394 fans per game in 2014-15, and 2037 fans per game in 2015-16 which led the country.

Unfortunately not enough people wanted to watch it. They had $1 tickets and drew a few hundred people. When there was a men's or women's basketball game on a Satuday afternoon and a women's hockey game Saturday night you could use your ticket stub to get in free and they drew a few hundred people. I believe UND has given the dollar amount needed to those who would like to see Women's Hockey return.

I wish UND and other schools could afford a women's program and maybe some of the bigger schools could, but articles like this are disingenuous and more about virtue signaling than anything else. Hey Ryan, aren't you a reporter? He could actually do some investigative reporting and find these answers himself. I am assuming that Ryan is pretending that he does not already know the answers which gives him the premise to write the article in the first place. In looking at USA Hockey's numbers from 2018-19 it would appear that about 15% of the registered participants are female and 40% of the Division 1 programs are Women's programs and 44% of the Division 3 programs are Women's programs. One could make the arguement that Women's college hockey is over represented based on the participant level at this point. Assuming 25 players per team would mean that there are about 1550 men playing D1 college hockey and about 1050 women playing D1 college hockey. Using the USA Hockey registrations this would mean that men have a .003 chance to play D1 hockey and women have a .012 chance to play D1 hockey. All that said, I believe that the growth and opportunities of all girls sports across the board are vitally important! Every study I have seen shows the benefits of being involved in sports or organizations is a huge benefit for kids as they move on into their adult and professional lives.

Similar, but not as bad as North Carolina hoops. Preseason #1 in the country...7th place in the ACC.

He had logged about 2 seconds of ice time at this point. But yes nothing wrong with an icing, especially directly after an icing where you get possession but your lungs are still on fire.

He had a shaky start on Saturday as he iced the puck the first two times he touched it...settle in nicely after that though.

He is a stronger, more athletic Brady Danielson. better defender and able to finish at the rim far better. Wasn't a great shooter in high school(33% from 3) but he has great instincts and knows how to find ways to be productive, similar to Brady in that regard.

Brooks shot 62% this year. Granted he only shot 22% from 3 but he only attmpted 9. Danielson shot 30% as a freshman(24% from 3), 29% as a sophomore(24% from 3), 45% as a junior(36% from 3) and 48% this season(36% from 3)

People put far too much weight on a player who is an NHL draft pick. The draft is speculation and projection on an 18 year old kid...especially beyond the second round. 49% of a NHL draft picks actually end up playing even 1 game in the NHL. By round 1st-94% 2nd-70% 3rd-54% 4th-44% 5th-34% 6th-31% 7th-26%

Makes sense...but at same time seems like a good case could be made for a hardship case ....although in the past in other sports if a request for a special hardship comes from the UND Athletic Derpartment it usually gets denied without even being read.

No idea if he would want to play another year or not if he did? Would love to have him if he did(could). His improvement from last year to this year has been amazing and he was pretty good last year. I wonder if he would not have a case to file a hardship appeal? Many players were given an extra year of eliigibilty due to the Covid season(19-20). Alaska shut down their program due to COVID and other reasons for the 20-21 season. Not sure why he did not enter the portal for the 20-21 season?

I said "WTF are you doing" 5 times in the first period last night just regarding #4.

I always liked the offensive side of his game but he saw the writing on the wall and chose to leave rather than compete for a spot. Kierstad, JBD, Sanderson, Kleven, Frisch are all considerably better but he could have competed with Moore and Bast or maybe just Bast for the 6th spot as maybe we don't bring in Moore until the following season...can't remember the timing.

He should have played the last two seasons in the USHL. He turns it over too often and is easily outmuscled in puck battles. Sometimes getting drafted is a curse because family and family advisors think they need to rush development and get kid to next level to get to their goal of playing pro hockey quicker and many times this ends up stalling their development instead of expediting it....and NHL teams swing and miss on draft picks quite a bit.

I got us to #15 with a couple wins and then a highly improbable threading of the needle for results of the teams ahead of us and directly behind us this weekend. We would need perfect results in about 20 games this weekend.

Doubtful. I am guessing he is getting some scholarship money from Augie. If UND offered I am guessing it would have been as a hometown walkon.

sold

Have 2 tickets in section 106 for Saturday night.

78 Million....sign me up as a bust.
