A little off topic but possibly going to a game in St Cloud and wondering which end North Dakota will be shooting/scoring on twice.  I'm guessing that it's the end with 119,120, and 121.  Any of you experts out there confirm that for me?  Thanks in advance.  Edit:  Sorry for the crappy seating chart.

 

It says in the chart what bench is St. Clouds. The left end is St. Clouds (looking at the chart. Looks odd to me because I never noticed seating behind St. Clouds net unlike the visitors end.

The crumminess of that picture is the perfect symbol to represent how crummy their rink is haha. Although I’ll admit it’s a solid college atmosphere.

I’ll be there as well; bringing my 6-year old to his first away game so really hoping for a win. 

Series there are always fun because of the big green contingent and the hatred St. Cloud fans have for us.

I don’t believe there is seating directly behind the goal. I bought tickets near the st clown penalty box. It should be entertaining…

The practice rink is behind St. Clouds net, so not sure how there is seating there according to their seating chart

The future of both the CHL and college hockey, how they relate to each other, and how they feed into the NHL, are changing. Reschny, though, has advice for players debating between the CHL and college hockey.

“I've actually thought about this,” Reschny said. “With the rule change, we're very lucky. It's kind of a step, a stepping stone in the path to go play in the NHL. But I think if you're able to go play in the CHL for 2, 3, 4, years, whatever you need to, and then go play college hockey for however many years you need to before going pro, I feel like that's such a good opportunity.”

Lots of fun snippets in this article:

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/friday-rewind-ben-strindens-big-month-continues-in-bemidji

• Strinden's 1.83 points per game in November leads all college hockey players for the month.

• Reschny has 10 points in six games during the month. He's two off the national lead and trails only Wyttenbach among freshmen.

  An interesting twist is that Reschny's production is almost entirely coming at even strength.

• Will Zellers has scored six goals in the last six games. Michigan State's Porter Martone is the only freshman in the nation with more November goals (seven). Martone has played eight games, though.

• UND's power play is up to No. 7 nationally (27.3%) after going 2-for-5 against the Beavers.
   
• Freshman goaltender Jan Špunar has started his college career 5-0. The last two UND goalies to do that: Hobie Hedquist (2023-24) and Jordan Parise (2003-04).

I am still amazed at the pace with which this team continues to play throughout the game.  I wonder if that plays into the 2nd period struggles as they expend a lot of energy and then have the long change.  Yet, they don't seem to get gassed or tire out in the third.  They did tone it down a bit on the PK last night and weren't as aggressive toward the puck in their own zone.  

The focus on moving north quickly is very evident and I think the style fits the team makeup.  Excited to see what this team can accomplish!

Really helps to be able to roll 4 lines. The top two lines on the other team aren't as fresh in the third period.
