2022-23 University of North Dakota Hockey Season

[SiouxForever]

Losses will come and go. Just want the team playing well in March into April. 

Should have beat Norte Dame last year but the scoring wheels fell off. 

Funny looking back, Pinto and Sanderson both played in a few natty playoff games only. Yikes! 

[KCSioux]

Saw video Schloss posted on Sanderson at Sens Camp, would have been nice having him on the ice last post season.

Covid screwed Pinto’s chance at maximizing his impact at UND. Cancelled post season and then limited fans next  season for us to see how good he is in person. Obviously disappointing post seasons in his 2 years, dude was a stud.

Agreed.  Both of those players were a joy to watch at UND even if both had less of an impact due to circumstances outside their control.
Pinto with the COVID cancelled post-season and Sanderson with his injury-riddled 2nd year.

Good thing about preseason is that you can be optimistic 

As a Vikings fan, I can relate to this. ;)

Wonder if the NCHC poll will follow suit with this poll.  That should be out soon (Came out Sep 15th last year). If that's true, the top hald would look oike this.  Seems pretty accurate.  We shall see

1.  DU

2.  UND

3.  UMD

4.  St Cloud

5.  Western Michigan

I feel like conference polls tend to differ at times significantly from national preseason polls because the voters for conference polls know more about the teams they are voting on. So nothing would shock me.

Do you have a link for this? I cannot locate the official poll.. thanks!

[FightingSU]

We have a lot of good talent, and upperclassmen coming back and some amazing new talent. Considering how far we went last year with certain key players missing from the ice and all the hick-ups/offensive woes/Saturday night bummers we had.. I think this is going to be a great year for some North Dakota Hockey! Let's hang a banner!!

I expect we will hang one during the Manitoba exhibition game. Three NCHC in a row is quite the accomplishment. 
 

The “next man up” part of UND hockey culture served them well last year.  I hope this year our best guys stay healthy.

Agree. It really paid off and suited us well at for the season. Now we need to keep that alive and all those younger skaters have a whole year under them of more experience, along with a year of skating together to work on chemistry. We have a lot of the first year issues knocked out for a good chunk of the team. I think we will be a force to be reckoned with this year. Along with that, you have a lot of the covid year super seniors now gone at schools like Western Mich. where they had some old men out on the ice lmao.

[Wilbur]

No Frisch ehh.....

[gfhockey]

Or Kleven 

[The Sicatoka]

I'll say my opinions again:

- top to bottom UND has the best group of eight defenders in college hockey; some may have better top end talent, but as a group of eight I'll take UND 
- UND's bottom four defenders would be top four on about thirty college teams 

[The Sicatoka]

Pre-season All NCHC?
Meh.
Let DU wear the bullseye for a while.
