Lacerated Achilles

Oof.  Sounds so much worse that 'torn.'

[FerdaSioux]

Other than Zakreski coming in, any other CHL guys we might be looking at? There has been talk of Bear on here, but he has a significant injury. I know McKenna is the biggest fish, not sure if we have a shot at him, but hoping some other good players might like to come here.

Bear recovery timeline has been stated as 6-9 months.  If it's 6 months, he would be ready for fall...if 9 months, more like mid-season.  We'll see if the rumors of him heading here are true, hopefully they are.

I'd bet that we're looking at quite a few CHL guys, especially forwards/centers.

That's what I am hoping for, lots of talent to be had in the great white north.

USA Hockey Tier 1 Nationals start today...lotta talented kids playing.  Of interest at the 13O level is Team ND and MN Lakers (District 6 HP team).  At the 14U level you have Minny kids on SSM, Little Caesars, and MN Blue Ox (HP team with Moorhead and Warroad boys) Team ND is also in this tourney. 15O you have SSM and SF Power.  16U SSM is loaded (Diego and Fitzy are underagers and will be in red, white and blue next season), SF Power in the tourney as well.  Very talented 2010 playing up with his brother on the 16U North Jersey team (Will LaSouro).

Ryder Ritchie (2006, Medicine Hat Tigers, 2024 Minnesota Wild 2nd rounder) is still unsigned. He could definitely go to the NCAA for a year or two. He might be a Gavin McKenna package deal kinda kid, but definitely worth bringing up here. I saw a few Goofers fans brought him up a couple days ago as an NCAA target.

Ritchie + Bear. 
Let's do it.

I wonder if we are recruiting Adam Benak? Been missing for awhile assuming he is injured.

He's probably going to sign with whoever drafts him. It also looks like he played with a pro team in Czechia

[nascar99]

Clarke Caswell (2024 Seattle 5th rounder, unsigned, WHL, Swift Current Broncos, Brandon, MB native) would be someone North Dakota should at least call to see if he's interested in playing in the NCAA given the rule changes. Of course becomes moot if he signs with Seattle.

Mason Kraft to UND? I know nothing but sounds like something’s going down in Mankato.

Doubt it. Has BIG written all over it. Kraft to MN would make sense as well.

He could be talking about Tate Prichard as one?

I heard it involves another recruit flipping to Minnesota, per Twitter rumors.

Ugh, I wanted the Goofers recruiting woes to continue

Twitter rumors are that the Mankato recruit in question is Tate Pritchard. 6'2" Lakeville South product has 52 points in 53 games this season for Sioux City.
