I had heard speculation that he might indeed just call it quits.  Not saying that's the mostly likely outcome but it sounded like something that was definitely being considered.

I hope not. He was not a bad goalie. This transfer environment is tough though. An underclassmen calling it quits for putting up avg numbers. Let’s go Hobie, time to shine!

I also hope he gives it another shot someplace else. It just didn't work out here; that happens sometimes.

Yeah, even more mature kids of college age just don't have the depth of life experience to deal well with discouraging or disheartening experiences.    Hope he gives it another shot and that he's got some good support people close to him.

Goalie situation set for a few years now:

Quote

UND's 2025-26 goalies will be Arizona State transfer Gibson Homer, Špunar and Minnesota Duluth transfer Zach Sandy of Fargo.
Committed recruit Caleb Heil will return to Madison in the USHL for one more season, then come to campus in the fall of 2026.

Homer has two years of eligibility left, but UND has to be prepared for the possibility of him signing after one. At 6-foot-6, he's an NHL-style goaltender and his career save percentage of .924 is attention-grabbing. Homer also is expected to have a degree by then.

Either way, Heil will be in Grand Forks in 2026.
