brianvf Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Short blurb with Homer about why he chose UND. Listening to him, I get the feeling it may be like others have mentioned...that he may be at UND for one year (even though he has 2 years of eligibility left) and then sets up Heil to come in 26/27. So Homer/Hedquist/Huson this year and then Hedquist/Heil/Huson the following maybe? 4 Quote

So Homer/Hedquist/Huson this year and then Hedquist/Heil/Huson the following maybe? Expand I doubt Hedquist is going to sit for a 3rd year. I’m betting he’s in the portal sometime soon. I have a suspicion that the coaching staff is vetting if Heil is ready or if they could bring in another transfer goalie with 3 years remaining like Knapp from Duluth or Musser from CC to take over after next year and then have Heil come in behind them. 1 Quote
farce poobah Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Put two things together: (1) Goehring departs, and (2) UND brings in a 6'5" goaltender. Question: are these two events linked? I have no information either way. Quote

brianvf Posted April 10 Posted April 10 That's interesting. I would have thought he'd ask him about his experience. Quote Homer said he did not lean on Semptimphelter during the recruiting process. "I didn't reach out to him during this process, because it was kind of a no-brainer decision," Homer said. "This week, I'm going to shoot him a text and we'll laugh over this — that it just happened to be that the ASU goalies of the last couple years ended up here." Expand Quote "It was the first game I've ever played at Mullett that felt a little bit like an away game," Homer said. "That's an environment I'm really excited to be a part of, always having the support from (UND) fans makes every single game that homefield advantage feel." Expand 2 Quote

Popular Post brianvf Posted April 11 Popular Post Posted April 11 https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/forward-anthony-menghini-commits-to-und According to the article, he's been a huge UND fan his whole life and his grandparents still live in GF. Tons of pics of him in Sioux gear. Quote Menghini's phone began buzzing right away with teams looking to sign the forward, who scored 12 goals as a sophomore for Minnesota Duluth. More than 20 teams reached out. Some were offering Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deals. But Menghini got the one call he had hoped for. "Once North Dakota called, I knew that was the place I wanted to be," Menghini said. Playing for UND has long been Menghini's dream. He grew up in Baxter, Minn., as a big UND hockey fan. Expand Quote UND showed interest in Menghini while he was playing junior hockey, but did not offer him a spot on the team. The 5-foot-10, 187-pound winger committed to Minnesota Duluth. "(UND) told me they didn't have room," Menghini said. "I was a little disappointed, but Duluth was a great place for me, too." When Menghini entered the portal Monday, new coach Dane Jackson called him and said, "We missed on you the first time. We're not going to let this slip again." Expand 1 5 Quote

Haven't you been following the stories that have come out regarding Berry's lackadaisical approach to recruiting? I have seen several instances of players not being offered because "we are full". Meaning that keeping a home town boy (Montgomery) on the team was more important than making the team better. There is a reason Berry is no longer in charge of this program. 2 Quote
