He does not. 

No idea if he would want to play another year or not if he did? Would love to have him if he did(could). His improvement from last year to this year has been amazing and he was pretty good last year.

I wonder if he would not have a case to file a hardship appeal? Many players were given an extra year of eliigibilty due to the Covid season(19-20). Alaska shut down their program due to COVID and other reasons for the 20-21 season. Not sure why he did not enter the portal for the 20-21 season?

If I recall he was in the portal the entire year Alaska didn’t play. I think he was trying to finish his undergrad degree so he could easily grad transfer so he stayed in Alaska. I think this may have been when transferring as a non-grad transfer required you to sit out a year. 
 

Players on teams that sat out the Covid season still had that season count towards their eligibility. Sidorski is the same situation.

Makes sense...but at same time seems like a good case could be made for a hardship case ....although in the past in other sports if a request for a special hardship comes from the UND Athletic Derpartment it usually gets denied without even being read.

It may come down to the wire, so it isn’t a given that opportunity will happen at the end of the year.  

They’re playing good right now. I think they make it

For sure gone (no eligibility left): 2, 3, 7, 10, 19, 34.
I'll be surprised if they're back: 6, 25. 

Guys with one (Covid) year still available: 13, 15, 28 
The class behind them: 4, 11, 17, 27 
And 17 could sign.

The former captain checks in. 

 

The comments are hilarious! --> He took more flak for "Hawks" than the bold prediction!

People tried to shame a former captain with a ring, and cancer survivor, when the team he won with was officially known as the "Fighting Hawks" (but no logo yet).

Unless Gaber is getting his degree in May, he should be back.

Hopefully.   He's a Danny Kristo with Andrew Kozek's shot.

@burdand @stoneySIOUXare not allowed to answer ... for now.

Forgot one of your favorite players #18

18 is not a member of any of those classes. 

He's part of 1 5 6 8 18 20 24 29 32
Next is 9 21 22 26 

And the problem I see is not a "who" as much as a "what".

I would add an extra category.

Potential Portal Guys: 5, 11, 18, 21, 29

I think Berry did an exceptionally bad job with his roster management this year. 

[The Sicatoka]

Given the "find new home" success rate of portal guys (under 50%), players would do well to take pause before jumping into that pool. 

Maybe 5 goes to play with his brother at CC, or 11 goes to ASU to be with his brother.

You got really close to the hidden problem I see.

Can 5 even play hockey right now? He’s been injured the entire season.

I don't think 18, 21 or 29 would have problems finding a new home. Hope all three return, really talented young players. I wouldn't blame any of the three though if they left.

Fair, we can remove him from the list.

I would add #24 and #32 to the possible portal list. This program is not going to look good if 3-4 guys hit the portal. Especially NHL draft picks.

Watch what you say. Some here are logging those comments into their "Dear Diary...." to bring up down the road.

[SIOUXELEVENS]

But we won three regular season championships in a row, what floors me is it took Berry and co. Almost the whole season to make changes to right the ship not good IMHO.

So basically guys that didn't play as much should consider the transfer portal.  That about sums up society today.  Don't work harder or work on your weaknesses, just find someone who will accept you as is.

And what changed?

Poor play should be fixed in the room by holding teammates accountable. Why'd it take this long? I've noticed I've seen less of the C and more of one of the As in media lately. It nearly coincides with the better play.
