Guessing we'll hear a bit more today about the injured players...hopefully a few of them are able to make the trip to UMD.

Berg is playing, everyone else still out. Per Berry’s press conference today.

Glad to hear Berg is playing. The team really needs Zmolek back too.

Yep, good to hear that Berg is back but sucks for the d-corps having three out still.
Monty dressing as a dman again.

No timetables on returns for Zmolek, Strathmann, Croal, or Komzak in this article...that's probably not a good sign.

Right?!  He got in one game and then has been out the rest of the season.  Need him back sooner rather than later...

Yeah Berry’s comments a couple weeks ago about Zmolek needing ongoing testing was some dark foreshadowing that it’s either very long-term or season ending

So once a roster is set for the year (15-8-3), a team cannot add to it if there is a season-ending loss to a D or F during the year, but a team can bring in a goalie from a club team for a goalie injury? 

And can a team carry more than 26 or 27 players in a year, or is there an NCAA regulation against that? If so, what is the maximum number of players a team can have?

Too lazy to look....how games played and games missesmd for Zmolek so far at UND?

The team could add another player, but they would have to enroll in school by a certain date in order to be eligible this semester.  That's why the new goalie from the club team is eligible, because he was already enrolled at UND.
If they added a player before semester break, then that player could start playing during the 2nd half of the season.  UND has done that before (Siembida, etc).

Looks like he played 28 of 44 games his 1st season at Mankato (not sure how many of those missed games were due to injury though).
Then missed his entire Soph season.
Last season at UND he played 33 of 40 games.
This season he's played one of 7.

I love the way the kid plays the game, but it sure leads to him sustaining a ton of injuries.

Good to know, thanks.
