***UND Fighting Sioux Thread***

A top UND hockey prospect is set to play in Fargo | Grand Forks Herald

 

The North Dakota incoming freshman captained the U.S. Under-18 Team. He led the team in defenseman scoring with 29 points. He won MVP at the BioSteel All-American Game. He has moved up NHL Draft boards and is a contender to go in the top 10 overall.
In the meantime, he accelerated his education, finishing three years of school in the past two calendar years, to graduate early so he can attend UND in the fall.
All of that added up to yet another honor: Sanderson won USA Hockey's Dave Tyler Junior Player of the Year Award, the organization announced Thursday.
He is the fifth UND player to win it.

One year ago IIHF.com interviewed Brandon Bochenski in Nur-Sultan, the capital of Kazakhstan. He came out from a one-year break to play his eighth season in Kazakhstan with KHL club Barys and finished the season captaining the Kazakh national team at the 2019 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Division I Group A on home ice. He helped the team win the tournament and earn promotion to the top-16 nations for the next Worlds.

Not good

 

Lotta that goin' around these days.

 

True. Was really looking forward to going there. Have only drove through Nashville so was excited about going there for 5 days. Oh well. Another time

 

That would be a very good excuse to spend time in Music City. My wife & I attended the 2-day Div I women's Country Classic tourney in a western suburb last Thanksgiving weekend, and I'd hoped we could attend the "second annual" version this fall so we could see more of Nashville. I don't see that event happening, either.

Delay to college hockey season will be announced soon, but officials optimistic one will be played | The Rink Live

 

The NCHC says it hopes to start college hockey season on or after Nov. 20 | The Rink Live

 

"The release specifically said that it hopes to start the season 'on or after' Nov. 20, giving the league some wiggle room ..."? That "after" gives them LOTS of "wiggle room."

Rest In Peace Reg Morelli. I coached with his son Matt, who also played for the Sioux, when his son Mason and my daughter played on a AAA summer team for 2 years. A wonderful family. Reg scored the overtime winner in 59’ for the Sioux’s first National championship
