brianvf Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Listening to Schloss' podcast for this week. They didn't spend too much time discussing practices and whatnot, but what he did say when asked about possible line combos from watching practice was all about how great Perron has looked. "unbelievable" "unpredictable and creative" "instant impact player" He said that Perron will be his vote for pre-season NCHC RoTY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brianvf Posted September 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2023 Got my tickets for the Manitoba exhibition game today. Excited to see the team! I'll be in town from AZ for "not fun" circumstances (my dad's burial service...he died last year, but the service is Oct 6), so my aunt (my dad's twin sister) and I decided to stay another couple days and go to the game as well. It'll be my aunt's 2nd game that she's gone to since her college days at UND. She met her first husband, Larry Dobson, at UND...he was a forward on the UND hockey team from 66-69. I have worn #15 on almost all of my hockey teams because that was his # at UND as well. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After they got married, they moved to Banff and got some farm land. Last I heard he was still there (they divorced 20+ years ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of October for Frozen 4 tickets for my priority points, I’m sure there are a bunch that can purchase sooner. Middle of November for Regional tickets. We aren’t hosting this year, I believe UNO has the West in Sioux Falls this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Strinden wins the Annual Ironman competition: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/ben-strinden-wins-unds-iron-man-competition?fbclid=IwAR2kRis1eUe3Q3Vt-yKc3TAEhK8FMPLi7Uy5iHHBPGr7CyOOahbx5BFDh1w Quote Strinden, the winger from Fargo, won UND's annual Iron Man competition — an event that uses 12 tests to determine each player's level of fitness, agility and strength. Freshman forward Jayden Perron finished second, followed by Jake Schmaltz, Dylan James and Louis Jamernik V. James, a sophomore forward, led the competition going into the last event, but he was unable to participate in it. Quote "He got off to a good start," UND coach Brad Berry said. "He got hurt in the Hall of Fame Game in Las Vegas and was out of our lineup for a while recovering. He came back and it took him a little bit to get going again. In the second half, he got back to form. I know he's excited. He got a taste of what college hockey is about last year. He's stronger and faster. We're looking forward to big things from Ben." Perron's strong performance in the Iron Man also raised eyebrows. The 5-foot-9 freshman and Carolina Hurricanes draft pick is expected to make an immediate impact on the ice. "We're seeing his off-the-ice and on-the-ice competitiveness — along with his quickness and strength," Berry said. "He's not the biggest guy, but he's very, very strong, very quick and very agile. He has high athleticism. That's what really showed in Iron Man." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Asking a lot but it'd be cool to get the results for each year so you could compare performances across classes. Like how does Strinden stack up to Cole Smith? Or how does Perron stack up with Toews as a freshie? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing we were voted that high because our group of forwards in comparison to those ranked behind us, were just significantly better on paper than other forward groups, to the point that it outweighed the lack of returners on D. (Like Western lost their entire top line, SCSU lost some producers up front also.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’d say the same for most teams in our league considering the top 5 teams in the poll all had at least one first place vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five teams with at least one 1st place vote and UND leads the way with 12 but still finishes #2 in the poll. I think it'd be hard to ignore the amount of forward talent on this UND team, and the pollsters agree...if the Dmen can gel early and Persson plays up to potential, this team has the skill on paper to compete for some trophies at the end of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year some things went “off the rails” quickly and the team underachieved significantly. As you noted, hopefully the group gels and they get expected results. Last year they were so unlucky. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
