Engel is listed as questionable though due to an ailment. Quote "It's going to be all healthy bodies in," Jackson said. "Everyone available is going to play. We've talked a lot about our depth this year. We think we have good players sitting out. Some guys that haven't gotten to be in there much like Dalton Andrew, he'll be in. We have full belief that the guys we put in will be ready to go and be good players for us." Mercyhurst also battling with quite a few injuries. Quote Mercyhurst is expecting to get five of those 12 players back this weekend — forward Will Schumacher of Prior Lake, Minn., forward Noah Sedore, defenseman Kaden Muir, defenseman Caleb Price and backup goalie Salvatore Evola. The Lakers will still be without seven others and plan to keep defensemen Tyler Nasca and Jaryd Sych up front. Quote

jk Posted December 31, 2025 Posted December 31, 2025 Hopefully I don't regret this, and it usually bothers me when fans don't respect the opponents, but there's still a lot of talent in town and I'm expecting two convincing wins. Even with guys missing, the pressure game UND has been playing should be intact, and hard to handle. 1 1 Quote

Yep, hehe, they could get back, celebrate a dub with the team & catch up & still sleep in their own beds…….but am thinking Zellers will pot another winner instead. Quote

The others are Bentley (scheduled in 2026-27), UConn, RIT, Sacred Heart, Long Island and Stonehill.

Scratch Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Mercyhurst is as bad as Michigan Tech the last two decades of the WCHA. Expecting 14ish goals on the weekend Quote
atxsioux Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Schloss just tweeted his preview story. They got back to grand forks around 8PM last night. Which is sooner than I would have guessed honestly. They might still be sleeping hahah. Let them rest up until 5PM as far as I'm concerned. 2 Quote

brianvf Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago Quote The World Junior quarterfinals are scheduled for Friday, and UND will be monitoring the scores. If the United States or Canada lose in the quarters, those players could return to Grand Forks for the series finale Saturday. There's also a chance Zirnis could come to Grand Forks for the series finale if Latvia is done. Quote
