I'm kinda thinking the era of that extra grinder, the long shot the kid coming in to plug a hole is over at UND. Which sucks cause Ive always admired the kid that makes it ot of the MJ or NAHL and just battles and grinds in practice and gets the game here and there, endures for3 years or so and then develops into a leader or solid 4th liner for his sr season. A kid that embodies the Sioux spirit and leaves the program both better for the team and himself with a great education.
Just dont see that as a part of the NIL era in any way going forward, for the blue bloods at least
