TNF Posted yesterday at 02:48 PM Posted yesterday at 02:48 PM Article posted from Schloss: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/top-hockey-prospect-carson-carels-commits-to-und Love the way it ends: “There’s one addition left on the back end. UND is likely to fill that spot with a freshman.” I’ve always had the feeling they are going to land two of the big fish. The article mentioned DuPont and Rudolf as the remaining WHL superstars. One more to go! 1 Quote

Parise’ linemate at Shattuck St. Marys. UND recruited him but in the end he and his family decided he’d be better off getting out of Zach’s shadow. Quote
brianvf Posted yesterday at 04:22 PM Posted yesterday at 04:22 PM Carels has been rumored for so long, glad to see it finally come to fruition. Really young but stacked d-corps. Only going to get younger with another FR. Will be interesting to see who Bryn can get for that final piece. 1 Quote
tnt Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago This draft is going to be a fun one to watch for a UND fan with Verhoeff and Carels expecting to go high. Then it will be interesting to see where guys like MacKenzie, Williams and Klimpke fit in. So many great players with guys from non traditional countries, that just getting drafted now feels more of a feather in your cap than it was years ago. Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago no go on dupont per source deep in REA sorry. Quote
brianvf Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago Then who are we looking at for the final piece? If it's not one of the big boys DuPont or Rudolph, I'd guess it's a relatively unknown WHL guy like their Ollie last forward spot selection last year. Quote

Would have been nice to get an older player like Carter Sotheran if that is the direction they are going, but he committed to Omaha. Maybe a guy like Dumanski would be in the mix. With the youth of the blue line, don’t know if you go with a true freshman age player, in case injuries crop up, plus they will probably have to play against Clarkson after New Year. Quote

Dumanski only follows UND hockey and Carels commented “see you soon” on his latest instagram post saying goodbye to PG a couple of days ago. Would be a little surprised if it wasn’t him. 2 Quote

Fratt Mattin Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago Love Dumanski as an 8th defenseman. Old, experienced player with leadership qualities. If he's the guy though, we will need to turn our attention to finding some RHD for the 2027-2028 season and beyond. I expect only Lindberg will be back among RHD currently on the roster and our only RHD commit is Zaide Penner, who is still a few years away. Brock Cripps might be a name to watch as a potential target Quote
