i, for one, am glad to NOT see the U18 team...it is a no win game.  let them play the ushl teams

If there is any recruiting value in it, they should schedule them.  I don't know whether there is.

I just don’t see much, if any recruiting value. The U18 team is nearly all committed to schools by the time we typically play them. Most are committed prior to, or near the start of joining the U17 team.

How many NTDP kids transfer? Much more recruiting value in the current landscape than before.

It’s fun watching them play, many are going to be good NHL players in the future. NTDP > Manitoba in a landslide. Guessing NTDP chose not to come here.

it may be fun watching them play, but it probably isnt real fun to play them...if you play them hard, and they get hurt, youre the bad guy; if you get beat by them, you feel like crap, and your fans are pissed; you blow them out of the barn, and you are the big mean school...tell me what the upside is to playing them?  i mean, sometimes it is 16/ 17 year olds playing against 24/25 year olds

It's scary that the Regional is in Fargo.  Not a good track record recently of taking advantage of the "Home" regional.    Looking at our schedule early, we could definitely be behind the eight ball after the first month and a half of the season.  Maybe a good thing the HOF game isn't a destination game.  

Didnt they move the Fargo regional to North Wood?

I already did :)  It’s 17-18 years olds vs 18-23 years old. The skill is super fun to watch…ask anyone on the hockey world and it’s a no brainer tbh.

Yeah that is a tough start to the season.  We'll see how we measure up against some quality Eastern teams right away with Prov, BU, and Cornell.
Would immensely help out the PWR if we can get a winning record out of those 5 games.

Come Dec 1st, the boys will be at 11 and 4.  Glass aways 1/2 full............. or in this case .7333 full !

Dec. 1st hasn't been the problem.

Except that early losses to teams they should have beaten has been a problem, though not last year.

You are correct also - losing to teams we should have beaten cost us a close regional and got us a first round game with Michigan.  Don't know why we lose focus every year.

We didn't lose focus nearly as much as DU.    At that time.

Looks like they finally pitched a tent over Brad Berry’s circus…

I'm actually glad to not see the gophs on the schedule this year. I may be in the minority on that but I like a variety of non-conference teams. I'd like to see BC or some other big-name Big 10 teams like Wisconsin. But I think a year off from UMN makes the years we play them even more fun. 

agreed....maybe 4 less conf games and 4 more non conference games against Notre Dame or bc bu Maine, Alaska?

David Klee will be returning to Muskegon to captain that squad. Will come to UND 2025.

Nice. Another year to improve and gain experience. Will help him be ready to make an immediate impact in 2025 at UND. 
Littler coming this fall then? Or another portal forward?
