Quote

"He's a very reliable defenseman," Dubuque general manager and president Kalle Larsson said. "I would say he's a two-way guy. But if you had to pick one of the two, I would say it's defense first more than offense. He's a great skater. He's great at breaking up plays, but he can also start the transition as well. He's a very low-maintenance player. It's nice to have a 'D' where you don't have to worry about line matching. There's no panic when he's out there."

Jubenvill, a 6-foot, 187-pound left-handed shooting blue liner, will come to UND in the fall of 2023 or 2024.

"Jayden can play right away," Larsson said. "He skates at an elite level and has a little offense as well. He's not going to have big holes in his game. He's going to have to learn the college game, but he's not a guy who needs to gain 20 pounds and learn how to defend. He knows how to do everything. He'll be ready whenever."

Jubenvill, 19, has a remarkably similar development path as UND forward Riese Gaber.

They're both from Gilbert Plains, Man., population 785. They both played youth hockey for the Parkland Rangers AAA program. They both played in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League for Dauphin. They were both third-round picks by Dubuque in the United States Hockey League Phase-II Draft. And they both committed to the same college program while in Dubuque.

Jubenvill and Gaber have known each other since childhood.

His commitment comes after UND dropped 2003-born blue liner Tyler Dunbar from its commitment list. Dunbar had originally committed in 2020 and is currently playing for Muskegon in the USHL.

interesting, Dunbar looks better on paper and has way more ushl experience. Maybe they’re playing with scholly $ and spreading it around different.

still waiting for a nice commit here soon

Swanson is averaging more than a point-per game for the first-place Force, triggering a recruiting battle between college hockey powerhouses for the 5-foot-7, 157-pound forward.

That recruiting battle ended Saturday night, when Swanson committed to UND.

Swanson had narrowed his decision down to UND, Minnesota and Denver. He made visits to all three spots.

5-7?  He's like another Panzer!  ;) 
Nice get for Berry with the other schools in the running.

"I think the coaching staff was a big one," Swanson said of why he picked UND. "I felt like I had a really good connection with all three of them. Going to a game and seeing the atmosphere is something I didn't know a lot about. Right after that game, I knew it was a place I wanted to be."

Swanson is a nice pull

Have to continue to build on it now, get back to consistently landing the top tier guys instead of 1 here or there

Perron, Swanson, Strathmann is a damn good pipeline on its own. I think many, rightfully so, are seeing us miss on some guys we all wanted without remembering what we have. Those three could all go first round. They will all likely play together soon. Obviously this isn't the whole story and we can't (and won't be) done, but it's a helluva group already.

Let's take an updated look. I want to break this into a few categories.

Forwards (On track)

  • Perron (05) - Chicago: 8-13-21 (17GP) -- Tied 4th overall in USHL in points
  • Swanson (06) - Fargo: 6-11-17 (15GP) -- Tied 12th overall in USHL in points
  • Croal (03) - Muskegon: 3-8-11 (15GP) 
  • Boisvert (06) - Muskegon: 5-4-9 (11GP)

Forwards (Need another year, potential)

  • Slipec (05) - Chicago: 0-5-5 (17GP)
  • Klee (05) - Waterloo: 1-1-2 (13GP)

Forwards (Concerned)

  • Panzer (04) - 2-1-3 (16GP)
  • Singleton (04) - 0-0-0 (16GP) / Playing for Vernon in BCHL

 

Looking strictly at next year, the issue becomes only Perron is a lock (as far as is eligible and ready). I'd prefer Croal plays another year, but he might be ready. Still need at least one or two Forwards for next year's class. The following years forward class could be special.
