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. 2 Quote
brianvf Posted April 30 Posted April 30 https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/schlossman-ncaa-teams-are-running-into-roadblocks-with-some-chl-players 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. 2 Quote

I think if he finds an under the radar kind of place in the CCHA or Atlantic hockey he could have some success. Wherever he ends up, I'll follow the kid. 10 Quote

Yes, and we have all seen that he has had flashes of brilliance, otherwise we wouldn't have seen people calling for Berry to be putting him in the net rather than TJ. Goaltending is all about confidence, and when he had it, he was good. "Hey, rookie! You were good." - Field of Dreams quote Wasn't a rookie, but always love referencing Field of Dreams. 2 Quote
Wilbur Posted May 1 Posted May 1 I know he's probably not coming in next season, but watched a bit of the U-18 game vs. Latvia and Garrett Linberg impresses me so much every time with his hockey sense. If you go to the 45 second mark right away in the highlight package the first goal that Potter scores is all about the indirect pass that Linberg makes when he doesn't have a great lane to the net. 1 Quote

brianvf Posted May 2 Posted May 2 https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-ranks-first-in-north-american-hockey-attendance-outside-the-nhl Quote UND drew more fans per home game last season than any North American hockey team outside of the NHL. An average of 11,614 attended UND's 18 regular-season home games in Ralph Engelstad Arena. It ranked No. 1 among college hockey teams for the 11th consecutive season. It also ranked ahead of any American Hockey League, ECHL, Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League team. The Cleveland Monsters of the AHL, the top affiliate of the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets, were second at 11,438. The University of Wisconsin was third with 10,461. UND also outdrew one NHL team — the Utah Hockey Club. Utah averaged 11,131. 4 Quote

Forwards (13): SR - Strinden, James, Rickwood JR - Menghini, Gordon SO - Swanson, Littler, Croal, Andrew FR - Zellers, Klee, Zakreski, Kernan Defense (7): SR - JR - Zmolek, Livanavage, Wiebe SO - Emery, Strathmann, Jubenvill FR - Laurila Goalies (3): SR - Sandy (RS possibility) JR - Homer SO - FR - Spunar Other current committed recruits that could come in this fall: D - Lindberg, F - O'Neill, Schultz, Simpson Captains: James, Strinden, Zmolek, Livanavage?

UND has only 2 forward positions open. Would think that they'd be at least trying to land a high-scoring CHL player for 1 of them. Quote
