Rickwood has been our most consistent faceoff guy, just over 60% I believe.

Yeah, he’s been a gift there too

17 year old. 

And he seems to be learning without becoming timid on the ice.  Another sign he’s mature beyond his years.

This is something I've thought about recently as well. Next year's leadership crew will be quite interesting as like you said very few upperclassmen. I could see Reschny wearing the "C" next year (obviously with the assumption Liv and Weibe are gone). Swanson and Emery as other possibilities. But in the meantime, let's hopefully enjoy a long postseason run this year! 

I think we’d see Croal with the C before anyone else. The guy is Sioux hockey through and through. Moot point for now but that’d be my guess.

Agree 100%.  He’s a total heart and soul guy.

Pretty impressive stuff from Rickwood:

Quote

The transfer from Clarkson is the NCAA's leading scorer since Dec. 8, the week he returned from a lower-body injury.

Rickwood has 16 points in 10 games during that span, one more than Arizona State forward Cruz Lucius, Michigan Tech forward Max Koskipirtti and Minnesota Duluth forward Jayson Shaugabay of Warroad, Minn.

Dominating 3rd periods:

Quote

UND has dominated its opponents in the third period this season. The Fighting Hawks have outscored their opponents by 12 goals in the first, eight in the second and a whopping 26 in the third.

"I think we play so hard and have such a great four lines and eight 'D,' we can just roll," Strinden said. "I think that wears on a team. Obviously, you see it in the third period."
