Karl Goehring was my favorite all time goaltender.

How much can we take from this scrimmage?

The "Chippahs" won't be around longer than 2 years. So you have to have a solid foundation of 3 to 4 year guys in order to win consistently from October to April.

I might have picked Sanders. I am not 100% sold on McCarthy.

You win however you can, especially in this chaotic era of NIL and unlimited transfers. That being said, I do prefer building the program via traditional recruiting.

Okay, I take back my previous post on this thread being too quiet. Let's hope we can land a good number of these guys.

East coast bias.

Those are good examples of potential donors.

And competing will require having more than one big time donor. The Engelstad family is stepping up, but we need to court other potential donors (former players, successful alums who love UND and its programs). NIL is the biggest financial challenge we've ever faced.

This is great news. But we must broaden our donor base. We can't keep relying on one donor.

Little of both.

Anyone else a little concerned about the relative silence on this thread?

Where are you getting this? Please don't say Judy's Tavern.

The position closes at 11:55pm today: https://careers.und.edu/jobs/associate-head-coach-men-s-hockey-grand-forks-north-dakota-united-states So I imagine an announcement will be coming tomorrow sometime.

Several unheralded guys were key players on the 2016 team.

Can we just focus on the guys that want to be here? I honestly don't care who said what to whom about whomever.

Blais almost always got the most out of what he had to work with.

Gopher hockey fans pull that card whenever they lose a recruiting battle for a Minnesota kid.

I wish I could upvote this more than once. 😁

I for one am anxious to put the chaos and dysfunction behind us and focus on the future.

Hang in there. Mankato would make a great replacement for Miami when they leave (which is only a matter of time).

It's hard to distinguish between the true stuff and the b.s.

A lot of people didn't understand the post.

How many of those people care about hockey? How many of those people even know their alma mater sponsors hockey? We have always had to go up against bigger schools with bigger enrollment and larger numbers of alumni. This is just another challenge for us to overcome. We can either 1) Rise up to meet it or 2) Give up and don't even try. I'm choosing #1.

We're waiting.
