They should just let it go and move on. We don't know that. The article says that some people at St. Thomas feared that CCHA could kick them up. That could just be projecting after the MIAC booting.

Yes, in a sport like college hockey, it might be best not to burn the bridge, as everybody is looking for games at one point or another. The CCHA might need games against a conference like the NCHC to improve their Pairwise standing. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Did Potulny see the (Alston, NIL, full cost) handwriting on the wall and decided now is the time to leave NMU? Quote

The whole coaching staff left (Spratt is only one left), Potulny to the AHL, Pool to Dartmouth, Peruzzi to UConn. Maybe NIL a small part, but why would the whole staff leave? Potulny leaving for the AHL makes sense but the other two taking basically the same job somewhere else doesn't. Quote

With Augustina joining the CCHA and Arizona st joining the NCHC in 2025-26 it leaves both conferences with an odd number. Get St Thomas into the NCHC and both conferences should be happy. I see it more as letting St Thomas out of their last year as it is mutually beneficial 1 Quote

Wilbur Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Hammer is now a Bronco. Wonder what kind of scholarship they got for brother Grant. Quote

They are going to have 4 goalies Grant and Hampton Slukynsky say, 'Broncos country, let's ride,' and pick Western Michigan - The Rink Live | Comprehensive coverage of youth, junior, high school and college hockey Quote The Broncos goalie room for next season will include graduate student Cameron Rowe — who was the goalie of record in all but two games for Western last season — along with Slukynsky and two juniors. Owen Bartoszkiewicz played in the USHL and NAHL last season and transferred to Western after parts of two seasons at Minnesota. Kirk Laursen saw action in four games for the Broncos last season. Quote "It's kind of odd timing to be uncommitted and want to go in. Every team I was talking to had three goalies, so I knew that was going to be the case no matter where I went," he said. "I'm just going to go there, compete for the net in practice, support the team and see whatever happens." Quote
brianvf Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Will be interesting to see how they work the rotation with Rowe, Hampton, and that UMN transfer. Quote

Bartoszkiewicz was told by Motzko to go back to the USHL because he didn't want him to sit on the bench all season and he would come back the following season. But he was so bad in the USHL he was sent to the NAHL and he got replaced by a transfer. Quote

I think Rowe initially before Hammer figures out the pace and enters the rotation. I thought he'd back up Castro this year, but he took the bull by the horns and became the guy. Looking forward to a January start for him when the Broncos visit REA. Quote

That's the series that I plan on flying up for this year. Planning on trying to get tickets to the ASU series here in Jan (might be difficult) and then the next weekend against WMU at the Ralph.

Any chance you might have access to snag a couple more tickets for that series? I'm guessing that it's gonna be a popular ticket with a bunch of UND fans both locally and flying in. No worries if not...would be fun to meet up with you between periods or something either way! Quote

I get a student ticket and they only like to give one ticket out per game since it is the hottest ticket on campus (they only give students 2 at the most). They also release them the week of the game, so Friday is released Monday and Saturday/Sunday is released Wednesday. I have seen UND fans at the games, but I expect more when UND is there this season. I'm always standing above the student section by the band since you can't drink in the student section. Steve Peters has said he'll be at ASU games this year while working for PHNX Hockey, I have yet to see him at a game. Quote
