Interesting? More like deeply concerning. 

Yeah, that guy was a turrible official.

If he’s not the worst official I have ever seen he is at least in the top 1.

I was wondering what happened to Todd Anderson.

He retired the year before.

Schloss latest podcast went over all the other teams in the NCHC, and unlike the SCSU podcast, he actually seems to know what he's talking about when discussing other teams and their losses and incoming players.   

They're gonna cover UND in more detail on the next podcast, but he did take the time to mention...once again...how great Perron looks in the practices.
He seems genuinely excited to see what he can do once the season actually starts.
So I'll take that as a good sign.

It's about mid September and we really haven't heard a lot about how things look during these short practices they've been having. And the Manitoba game isn't that far away.

Yes it would be nice how short practices are going - BUT CAN NOT WAIT to see Manitoba - HOCKEY IS ON ITS WAY.

UND set to play two series against Clarkson in a couple years:

UND and Clarkson have signed a contract to play a pair of future hockey series.

The Fighting Hawks and Golden Knights will play in Cheel Campus Center in Potsdam, N.Y., during the 2025-26 season. It will mark UND's first trip to Potsdam since October 1999.

Clarkson will make a return trip to Grand Forks during the 2026-27 season to play a two-game series in Ralph Engelstad Arena. Clarkson's last time in Grand Forks was November 1998.

Outside of those series, and the Winnipeg game, the teams have only played one other series — the 1982 NCAA tournament in Grand Forks.

I listened to it last night as well and the deep level of knowledge Schlossman has about the other 7 programs is simply impressive. Being I follow CC pretty closely as well, to hear him talk about their players, their incoming players, the guys who left or graduated, if you didn’t know any better, you’d think he was the beat writer for that program! Much appreciated analysis by Brad and his two co-hosts.

Having known Schlossman for a little while, the guy works non-stop, you can text him at three in the morning and there's a good chance he'll answer.  I feel they don't pay him enough. The guy has built a network of sources and is very good at his craft. I think UND fans are lucky to have him as the UND hockey beat writer. I hope he continues to work for the Herald. Brad also does a great job covering other stories and sports. I like his River Cities race coverage. It's been really good.

Are we catering to them too much?

Right about now someone usually wonders if it's possible UND goes undefeated this year.  

I'm thinking they lose two, maybe more.

I guess the only open question, then, is if we get scored on.

In that scenario, who wins the Hobey?  Blake with his 91 goals or Persson with his 29 shutouts?

I hate to be the wet blanket on the optimism, but I just don't see Persson with more than 20 shutouts. Just calling it as I see it.

I guess it would come down to whether Persson has more goals than Blake has saves.

Dam.   Somebody always has to toss out an anchor.  

[SiouxForever]

Wha't the true height on our new tender? College hockey news has him @ 6'1 and hockeydb has him listed at 5'11 and undsports at 6'0.

I hope he's at least 6 feet tall...

Is this where we start speculating if we put the team on a school bus and entered it into the Indy 500? 

[brianvf]

Play both #1 and #3 in the first month of the season.  Hope the boys find their legs quickly.

Da Hawks.

When does Brad and the Herald come out with their special hockey issue pertaining to this year's tem/season?
