Word is that Canadian junior leagues are lobbying for it.   Does that post cross the line, Sic? Depends on if you’re MAGA enough. Quote

I looked at the top ten players’ commitment announcements and at least half were within the first couple of days. McKamey and Berchild waiting until October and September. The other seven commitments were made in August. Dayne Beuker is still uncommitted and was third on Schloss’ list. It’s going to be interesting to see when he commits. It seems like UND is hard after him. He does not follow any college hockey accounts that I had noticed other than Bryn. Of the NTDP 2008s, the only uncommitted players are Wyatt Cullen (likely to commit to Michigan State on August 1), Luke Carrithers (not a great goalie), Brady Knowling (not a great goalie), and Dayne Beuker. Everyone else of that NTDP team has committed now. Quote

He would be an old junior this year with a March 2008 birthdate. Quote

He's (essentially) Canadian as he grew up in Saskatchewan & all Canadian 2008s graduate HS in 2026. IIRC, Beuker & his advisor/family wanted to take a measured, patient approach about where to commit for the NCAA. Quote

They'd have to put up godly numbers in minor/HS/Prep hockey to really be on the radar of the mainstream 1 Quote

nascar99 Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Assuming DuPont does go NCAA, I'd be quite surprised if he doesn't end up at Denver, North Dakota, or Michigan. Maybe Michigan State, Boston College, Boston University, Penn State make a serious push for him, but I really think it's one of the 3 I mentioned. 1 Quote

His mom just follows CC and Minnesota State, which are non factors. I do not know about other schools that his dad follows because he is private. The big question mark for him and UND is Keaton Verhoeff, imo. That may help our chances, it may hurt our chances. 1 Quote
NoDak Hockey Nation Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago 5 hours ago, nascar99 said: The great thing now is that there really aren't any excuses to have down recruiting cycles. Talent pool is huge and North Dakota has tons of advantages in Western Canada. There's pressure knowing you have to hit home runs in recruiting every year, but you love having that high standard. New staff is poised to have a big August 1 cycle. I think we’ll still see those teams who recruit 4 year players have more success in the postseason. It’s more important than ever to balance your roster. 2 Quote

There's a reason why Denver has won 5 National Championships since Minnesota won their last. Quote
atxsioux Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago With the player pool of elite players growing now with the CHL, in the future I wouldn't be as surprised to see a team with more young talent be able to beat some of the older teams come tournament time. (IE if you have the team that BU did this year + 2 more high end players from say the OHL contributing, that could be enough to push a team over the hump to beat an older team like Western) Agreed though, that you still need a full complete roster built with the right guys each year to be a threat at a title. 1 Quote
