haha chucko...i remember calling into the coaches show and asking hak if he a. recruited chucko and b. if so do you miss his 2 goals and 3 assists on our fourth line? "i'll hang up and listen?"...as i was hanging up i can still hear hennessy laughling his ass off (assuming he got hard stare from hak)
We had to settle for his line mate.

McAndrew already has offers from Nebraska, Wisconsin, Creighton Iowa, and Xavier. So he will be out of reach.
Does Tibbits have no offers or just no D1 offers? That’d be pretty surprising to see the NSIC schools haven’t been going after him.
I am aware he has visited schools and has offers. I know his famly has close ties with UNI and Creighton and his father played at UND. That is why you make an effort and have a conversation with him and let him know you would love to have him at UND. You never know how things change with coaching changes and the portal options.

I'd be willing to bet that the intern who wrote that will probably be retracting that tweet...
I didn't think much of it.
I did see Several Gopher staff, like their equipment manager and others thanked and commended the UND staff on their running of the regional.

Anyone know anything about Hayden Tibbits out of Wayzata? I was reading Gopher site and there’s people there that think the Gophers should give him a shot. He’s 5’9”. Zero college offers. 1,000 point scorer. All Metro team. Mr Basketball finalist. I’d think he’d be worth taking a chance on
I am hoping we at least offer his teammate(McAndrew) although after the state tournament he just had he is going to be getting a lot more looks...hell, the Gophers might even notice him.
We should at least offer since he is a UND legacy even though I am guessing he will end up at a higher profile school.
Tibbits is interesting. He plays a pretty quiet game, takes care of the ball, controls tempo, gets teammates involved and you check the stat sheet at end of game and he has 17-18 points, 6-7 assists, scores pretty efficiently.

Erickson has a lot of the tools and skill to develop into a legit D1 player. I think it’s just going to take a lot of time.
I’ve been told by people that watch AAU in the summer that Doppler had some impressive performances. I did not see it in the 4 or 5 Century games I watched this year but who knows I guess.Watched a few Century games this year. The first game against Minot he was the best player on the floor. Couple of nice games against Mandan. Century had quite a few blowout wins this season but it seems like in their close games he was their best player in those games.

Not even close. Union College was a quality team. Gopher fans were crazy in thinking they were going to the Dutchmen out. One of the great individual performances in title game history by “The Ghost” too.
+7 in a 7-4 game.

I’ll pass this along to the Facebook group. They’re currently working on Pairwise tweaks due to Colgate and Canisius making this year’s tournament over North Dakota.
Didn't have the heart to tell them that Alaska and Michigan Sate would have been next in, then Notre Dame and Northeastern but I saw one guy thought they should expand the field to 20 for us.

As was I. As Barry Melrose said "If UND and Michigan played 10 times, UND would win 9. Unfortunalely for you guys the one was last night."

Looks like my over under of 11.5 for Big 10 goals in the Regional Finals is looking to hit the under.

Wasn't watching the game.
Was there already a penalty on the board? If so it would have been 5x4.
Qunnipiac was on power play.

Should have been embellishment on QU. They're holding on by the skin of their teeth and the help of the refs.
true but I think their huddle was to decide if they wanted to call penalties and make it 4 on 3.
What did he embelish?
Answer--the late cross check after the whistle. Love tap or not.

So now the NCHC officials use common sense and discretion in making a call.

And Hain.
That being said, all four were committed before they went to NTDP, but the fact they all kept their commitments tells me that rumor may not have much truth to it.
It might be cyclical as the coaching jobs at the USNDT have become a revolving door to the next coaching job.
I know Michigan and Michigan State have pretty close proximity to the program and have several connections so it seems like quite a few kids seem to end up at those schools. Boston U seems to get quite a few as well. Many of the kids playing there are from Michigan, New York, and Massachusetts. A few years back it seemed like many of the kids were going the Major Junior route. Also, many of these kids are not from hockey hotbeds as numerous Minnesota kids have turned down the invite to play there and instead opting to finish their high school careers.
The old saying is even more true today with internet, streaming and digital options available....if you are good, they will find you.

Crater and Benny have both outlined major challenges. The school enrollments increase the chance of alumni with the resources and the interest in intercollegiate athletics. The power 5 schools especially the Big10 have an advantage of larger enrollments, but league revenues that make it easier for donors funds to be diverted to NIL use rather than day to day operating expenses. Those schools are more likely to have corporate/big business/wealthy alumni.
UND has loyal and generous alumni. We have alums and supporters on this forum donating hundreds, thousands and in some cases tens of thousands each year to UND athletics. We have alumni donating millions but mostly those go to the Alumni foundation for endowments,,building projects or scholarships.
UND hockey has one key donor that has been extremely generous over the years having given well over $100,000,000. The Engelstad Foundation continues their very generous support. Many of the other schools have multiple million dollar donors who support athletics.
I wouldn’t know what their thoughts are regarding NIL.
Regardless of their interest,I believe if is in UND’s best interest to coordinate the creation of a fund including a management team, to insure everything is done legally and in compliance with NCAA guidelines in order to maintain the athletes eligibility and keep UND in compliance. A creation of a coalition of businesses and organizations willing and able participate in reimbursement to athletes for their endorsements etc. needs a central coordination team that can assist UND staff and donors in directing these resources where they are needed.
In addition to the big schools, metro areas and league resources we shouldn’t overlook the number of east coast school alumni in large law firms, the financial world including Wall Street. I was at a Memorial Day picnic with my daughter and son-in-laws friends. The host was a former BC player making millions per year. His Dad, also a former BC player is a hedge fund guy. Among their friends is a former Quinnipiac player also making millions each year who spent around $50,000,000 last year on a boat. The smaller private schools seem to have a large number of the mega wealthy. These are 2 schools who can generate millions from just 2 families who support hockey.
Its a bit of a mess because the NCAA is reacting instead of leading.
My thought would be to get a group of hockey alumni together to form a subcommittee for hockey. Many have made a few million to ten or more million. The can challenge each other for a 10,000 or more commitment from those who can and then coordinate their support with the Engelstad Foundation. The next step would be coordinating present support from folks like us with UND athletics, and businesses or organizations interested in NIL relationships.
Football is our other sport with strong alumni support. Former a FB subcommittee to initiate a fund attempt to establish an on going relationship with key Alumni like Marc Chipman, Tip Enebak, Dave Fennell and gauge their interest.
Once these sub committees are formed and initial funds raised, UND can continue to coordinate and direct from the rest of us who can contribute $50 or $50,000 etc.I believe Hockey and FB could take the lead, coordinate organizational structure etc. and how to coordinate support for UND athletics. I believe these subcommittees can be the blueprint for what we do with other sports.
You attorneys can tell me if it won’t work. I’m not sure it is viable but I we need to be doing something. UND may already be working on this and may be way ahead of my goofy ideas.

How do you know this information? Is it published somewhere or, like, just your opinion, man? (Dude voice/pic thingy)
There have been several articles written about it. One of them referenced info from Minnesota Athletic Department.

Something to consider is the extra day making energy management not as important as before. Usually when up by 4 you would let your 3rd and 4th lines skate most of the game, no need now.
That said, I fear this will be the weekend we look back at as when college hockey's golden era ended.
Not when the player on the other team commits a penalty with intent to in injure. And it was a 5 minute so you pretty much roll all your lines anyway.

Do we know if any of the hockey players are getting NIL money ? Where our all the commercials with hockey players promoting the businesses? If one or two players on a team get NIL what happens to the others and when does jealousy creep in , why should I block shots when player X is getting paid and I’m not. Just not sure how this all works.
Kleven, Caulfield, and Frisch ran camps last summer and Kleven was the Rink Live athlete for UND this year. The camps can be a nice chunk of change but by the time they pay their teammates for helping out and renting ice time they are not getting rich.

There is no such thing as a coincidence.....
------------Socrates
.....probably.
NIL for hockey even in the Big 10 is minimal at this point. A couple teams have collectives but they don't really generate much. Across the board in college sports you have about 4-5% of Athletes raking in the vast majority of NIL money.
At Minnesota, Men's and Women's Hockey and Baseball combined make up less than 5% if NIL money that their athletes take in.

It was actually the NCHC third place game, and perhaps Duluth was already looking ahead to that NCAA tournament.
But I get your point.
Good catch, but they actually thought they were in a do or die situation to get into tournament that game.

I had a couple Gopher fan friends reach out to me to see if I knew where they could maybe find some tickets. I told them I would look for them because I did not want them to see that Facebook page because of the Embarrassment by Association....Thankfully I did discover over the last couple days that Minnesota has a facebook page as well with a similar cringe factor.

That’s dumb. After 4 it should be fourth line guys on the pp.
Depends on the penalty is my philosophy. Tripping or Hooking penalty, give some 4th liners some power play time. Slashing or roughing penalty or guys taking runs at our players and I am rolling top units out there.

It's good to hear Judd express confidence in the blue line talent they are bringing in, but D is a steep learning curve for freshmen in D-1 hockey.
True......However
UMD won the National title in 2017-18 with 1 sophomore and 5 freshmen playing D and a Sophomore Goalie they found in the NAHL who had played in 2 games as a freshman(1 start) and gave up 2,1,1,and 1 in the NCAA tournament after UND beat them for the NCHC title.

As long as we were going with a bird we should have been more specific.
Peregrines
Fastest bird on the planet.
They have had nests at UND and around the area.
