Colin Grubb (2009, Minot, ND native, Shattuck St Mary's AAA) has taken an unofficial visit to North Dakota per Ryan Sikes of Puck Preps on Instagram. August 1 2025 commitment eligible.

Guessing Colin Grubb won't be committing on or shortly after August 1. But certainly someone we all should have on our checklist

Can’t lose this one. Would be nice to add a Nodak native.

Would expect many of the top (normal bday) US 2009s will commit pretty quickly. I think all of the late bday US 2008s will commit right away since they've been waiting awhile. Guys like Wyatt Cullen, Tyler Martyniuk, Luca Jarvis, Kade Meyer.

That's nice but we need someone for this upcoming season too.

I guess I’m more curious about next season too…however my hunch is the last spot will be a depth add…senior like the last one.

C'mon now, where are all of you with the inside scoop!

Is this a big get?

[Goon]

He's a D-man. UND still needs one more forward.

MacKenzie is for next year.

Not projected to be a high draft pick, but should bring a lot of energy and skill.  Someone mentioned a Stecher-like player.

Curious if we kicked the tires on this guy. Big, C, older and is familiar with the Ralph so won't struggle to handle it like transfers sometimes do. Only thing that gives pause is we haven't had success with Euros for a while now.

Undrafted his first two years of eligibility…small chance he’ll get drafted next summer. Maybe though, he’s dealt with a ton of injuries.

Would be nice if Dayne Beuker (2008) made up his mind about where he'll commit. Was elite in minor hockey in Saskatchewan, had a very good, but not elite u17 year with the NTDP. There's been speculation on if he'd leave the NTDP and go to the Dub (Lethbridge owns his rights), and it's been quiet on the NCAA recruiting front for him.

Forget if I or someone else posted this, but here's the 2025 US U17 Four Nations Roster, all of them non NTDP 2009s. Some of these mid-later born guys are only going into their sophomore year of HS, thus not eligible to commit until August 1 2026, but a lot of good targets on here.
