There will be a lot of competition for the 5 and 6 spots. We are in good shape to absorb an injury on D. Goalie is unknown, but with that D corp much less of a concern. 

Victoria ∆ GF ∆ NHL pipeline begins now

Like the pipeline comment.  We need to build trust with locations and get our coaches out to these areas.  Nothing is better than personal communication.

This seems like a return to Hakstol - Blais era style of play.

No matter your year, you earn your spot.  Freshmen, have as much right to play based on their effort, quality of play, attitude, skills, lack of stupid plays, and readiness.  We also need to get playing time for younger goalies to get ice-time. Give goalies starts or at least time in third period.  Only exception for play is Senior night.

This is exactly what was missing the last couple of seasons under Berry. Playing older guys that couldn’t score over younger ones with a high ceiling ended up hurting us.

When do they announce the Captain & Asst. Captains?

A sign of things to come. A hawk eating a gopher on the UND campus.

Nice photo, better title!

For the St Thomas vs UND game at the X.

 

Trying to get some tickets but not 100% sure what side UND will be shooting at twice? Not sure if anyone has already asked the ticket office?

 

Looked back at the Gopher games the past few years and noticed they actually take the Wild's "Home" bench. But not sure UND can pigeon toss St. Thomas to the away bench like the Gophers did hahah. The bench names on ticketmaster dont align with the "St Thomas attacks twice" notice when you hover over a ticket....

108-112 is the end where UND will shoot twice

Are “Captain Practices” taking place.  If so, has anyone heard any rumors of how the players are bonding and who is making big leaps since last year (or for new players who is exceeding beyond expectations)?
