brianvf Posted July 3 Posted July 3 Lots of commits and current players at NHL development camps: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-notes-jack-kernan-gavin-lindberg-earn-nhl-development-camp-invites Quote Forwards Jack Kernan and Gavin Lindberg have earned invites as undrafted free agents.

Quote Other UND players expected to attend NHL development camps are forward Ashton Schultz (Buffalo Sabres), goaltender Caleb Heil (Tampa Bay Lightning), forward Cooper Simpson (Boston Bruins), forward Will Zellers (Boston Bruins), forward Mac Swanson (Pittsburgh Penguins), defenseman Sam Laurila (New York Islanders), defenseman Keaton Verhoeff (San Jose Sharks), forward Ollie Josephson (Seattle Kraken), forward Hudson Malinoski (Toronto Maple Leafs), defenseman Ethan MacKenzie (Toronto Maple Leafs), forward Cole Reschny (Calgary Flames), defenseman Carson Carels (Calgary Flames), defenseman E.J. Emery (New York Rangers) and forward Connor Davis (Vancouver Canucks).

You can see Markus can put pucks to areas that only his teammates can get to, that play-making ability,” said Kostopoulos. “I think you know the skating, there’s a lot of potential there as he gets stronger and more powerful. I think he’s not slow, but he can build more power. “Liam, it’s neat to see how he can get to open space, and wants the puck in the shooting areas. Some guys want the puck all the time. Seems to me like (Liam) wants it in the areas where he can score from. So it was great to spend the week with them and watch them with our staff, watch them this week.” 2 Quote

I don't see anything in his statistical profile that really suggests he's that caliber of player, but stats never tell the full story. He's certainly played well in this tournament 1 Quote

Remember this article from Schlossman about McLaughlin? https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/flyers-draft-pick-owen-mclaughlin-commits-to-und Remember there was talk about him not showing up to campus because the Flyers wanted to sign him? Talk about him being a second or third round guy in a redraft seems ages away now. 4 Quote

When he got exceptional status into the BCHL people talked about him like he could go #1 overall in 2027. Then he was good but not great for Penticton and struggled with some injuries before getting back on track toward the end of the year with Victoria. I have no idea what he will look like this year. I could see him playing himself right back into the first round or I could see him going undrafted Quote

Will be interesting to see how this year unfolds. Hoping he can stay healthy for the full year. Will be pretty hard for him to put up Malhotra type numbers since Brantford was a wayyyy better team compared to how good Victoria will be Definitely not out of the question that he has a big rise this upcoming year though Quote
tnt Posted July 12 Posted July 12 As we have seen at every level, sometimes it takes varying lengths of time to adjust, but when it happens, some guys just take off from there, which is why you see draft projections change drastically from one year to the next. Chase Reid was another huge riser in last year's draft. Quote

brianvf Posted July 13 Posted July 13 A few UND commits invited, as well as a few prospective players too. Demars, Grubb, and Thoreson. 2 Quote
atxsioux Posted July 13 Posted July 13 Grub and Boomer had some nice moments for the Northern Plains team. Still early and a ways until they get to campus but they're showing some nice signs 2 Quote
brianvf Posted Sunday at 11:42 PM Posted Sunday at 11:42 PM Nice hat trick from Sanderson to start the WJ Summer Showcase: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/2026-world-junior-summer-showcase-cullen-wyttenbach-top-standouts-day-1-sanderson-stockselius-sanderson-rogowski Quote #29 Carter Sanderson, LW (Pittsburgh Penguins): It’s hard to beat a three-goal game. Sanderson is far from a lock to make the final roster, but he made as good of a first impression as you could ask for. Sanderson spent a ton of time buzzing around the net, looking for loose pucks and rebounds to generate offense. We’ll see if he makes it on the main team in an energy role, but this today was an excellent start. 2 Quote

I was quite surprised to see his name on this invite list so for him to net a hat trick in game one is pretty impressive. Since he was a Berry recruit, I've had some reservations as to if he would even make it to campus but that certainly doesn't seem the case now. Quote
atxsioux Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago Watched most of the game yesterday and he was going balls out trying to make the camp roster hahah. (credit to him he's not gona leave any doubt and will make the coaching staff have a conversation about putting him on the roster) Liked his game alot - likely more of a bottom 6 guy at UND but a damn good one. Basically ran around all game trying to crush guys and then had some nice finishes (rebound goal by being around the net, nice forehand backhand finish, and then a quick snapshot for his hat trick goal). He's a pretty big kid but can move well for his size 2 Quote

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Nice blurb about Sanderson. Seems to have a good head on his shoulders. https://www.nhl.com/news/2026-world-junior-summer-showcase-notebook-july-26 Quote
