2025-26 University of North Dakota Hockey Season

[brianvf]

One more spot to fill now and we will have a finalized roster for this fall.
The addition of Young is nice from a depth and a class management perspective. 
Experienced forward that would hopefully be reliable when called upon...and as mentioned elsewhere, allows for another FR forward to fill his spot next season.
Almost there!

Forwards (14):
SR - Strinden, James, Rickwood, Young
JR - Menghini
SO - Swanson, Littler, Croal, Andrew
FR - Zellers, Klee, Zakreski, Kernan, Reschny

Defense (8):
JR - Zmolek, Livanavage, Wiebe
SO - Emery, Strathmann, Jubenvill
FR - Laurila, Verhoeff

Goalies (3):
SR - Sandy (RS possibility)
JR - Homer
FR - Spunar

Dang, that's a strong D corps.  

[SIOUXELEVENS]

And Livanavage  doesn’t need to play 40 minutes a night , keep him from getting worn out.  

[burd]

I guess an important unknown is Zmolek.

Ahhh ... yup. 

[nascar99]

Really interested to see Josh Zakreski. Older freshman, has some offensive touch, solid forechecker. Really want him to be able to play that Brad Marchand, Brandon Tanev, or to use a recent NCHC example, Jared Wright/Rieger Lorenz bulldog, relentless forechecking style. It's possible that I'm thinking too highly of him, but I think Zakreski can be a big time difference maker sooner rather than later.

Definitely making an announcement of some sort. My guess would be jerseys

[atxsioux]

Pretty much anything that doesn't include the god awful hawk logo I'm in favor for haha.

[nascar99]

There we go.

I have gotten over the whole nickname change.

Fighting Hawks wasn't a great choice. But it also wasn't a horrible choice.

We could have ended up with Sundogs.

Then hopefully a bat signal on Friday

[SuhakiYeahYeah]

You can just see the socks illuminated by the light. 

Its 100% going to be these.

[nodakgirl93]

I feel like the new jerseys won't be anything special judging for that little sneak peak we got a while back. I hope I'm wrong. I honestly just want them to stick with green gloves, helmets and breezers for both home and away. And make the gloves all green not a combination of white, green and black, like the ones they use with the NODAK jerseys. 

[sioux24/7]

I don’t think the jerseys need to be “special”. I just want clean jerseys that don’t look silly when you buy them without a number. Nashville jerseys, Nodak jerseys and you’re good. Color variations of both, of course. 

[beastandco]

Could be captains as well. Wiebe, James, Livanavage, and Zmolek are in the photo.

I care more about the players wearing the jerseys than what the jerseys look like.

I would like to see Livanavage and James as Cs and Wiebe and Zmolek as As.

Co-captains never ends well

Ahh, but the apparel oft proclaims the man.

Seriously, if there were locker room problems last year, like many here claimed, and those problems have the potential to spill over into this year, I trust that the players will pick a captain who is most able to fix or mitigate those problems.

I think a lot of the troublemakers are gone.

Rule 6 - Captain and Alternate Captains
6.1 Captain -
One game captain shall be appointed by each team, and shall be the only player to have the privilege of discussing with the referee any questions relating to interpretation of rules that may arise during the progress of a game.

Summary: Only one player can wear a C.
