    Agreed that it would be cool to play with your brother; but do you think these decisions were also fueled by a lack of playing time this year? This leaves us with quite a hole in seniority. Though we didn't get to see a whole lot of either player this year, no doubt both individuals were talented. I think more than anything this news effects Taylor Dickin and Carter Rowney, I think either could possibly fill in the roster. It will be really interesting to see how the team shakes out in the next couple weeks here.
    Obviously losing Cichy and Bruneteau will leave us a bit thin at Forward, but I think we should be alright depth wise. Cichy was very highly thought of coming in, and never lived up to that. Some even thought Cichy would be a better player than Kristo. Bruneteau, I'm not really sure what happened there. I hope they both are able to get plenty of playing time and succeed. Cichy could wind up being a steal for wherever he winds up. He's more of a top-6 forward, and could very well flourish if given that opportunity. He was probably never going to get that chance at UND. Bruneteau should get good playing time as well. I don't blame either kid for leaving. They came in to play, and weren't getting a ton of playing time.

    As for Dickin and Rowney, I thought Rowney was going to be an every game player regardless of what happened with Cichy and Bruneteau. He was playing more than either of those guys last year, and I think he could have a very solid year this year. Dickin, I just don't know what to make of him. He can definitely skate at this level, and can play very well from time to time. He's a bit inconsistent, but that isn't surprising given that he was a freshman. I think he'll probably be a regular player on the 4th line.

      First off, thanks to whoever put Harvard on my list for season schedules. Also, you're the only WCHA team where I don't have a full schedule lined up (still have 4 games left, assuming you're allowed the exemption on the Icebreaker this year). Any information regarding your non-conference play, aside from Harvard, Maine, and the Icebreaker?

          If it's one game in Winnipeg against an ECAC team, I would predict it's an ivy league. If it were a weekend, I'd predict a non-ivy. (7 NC vs. 12 NC, although it'd be a good filler for a non-ivy if they have a one-game stint with an Atlantic team.) I don't have the schedule in front of me, but it can't be Dartmouth or Harvard because they're playing RPI and Union that weekend. There's another 4 teams involved in a weekend of league games then. Brown and Yale are already full (actually Yale is overloaded according to ivy rules, as they have 30 games, since one exhibition counts against them, unless the ivy league is weird about exhibition rules).

              You would make a much better case for not caring about UND hockey if you did not troll in here as much as you do. BTY I think it's funny what goofer fans have to come up with to make fun of UND, anything to take their minds off of their last 3 seasons I guess...

                Now we await decisions from Gregoire and Eidsness. Hopefully there won't be any surprise departures.
                Best of luck to these guys as they move on. Not too often that you see a guy transfer so he can play hockey AND go to grad school!

                    Nah, we are just interested to see how UND is going to choke 7 straight FF in a row. 6 chokes in a row has to be the record, but 7 chokes would be awesome.

                      You can set your watch to your tired trolls... us Sioux fans are just interested in how NCAAs minny is going to miss in a row. At least they do their choking during the 1st round of the WCHAs (against UAA).

                        Not directly related to UND hockey but I thought it might be of interest to UND hockey fans that next season is the inagural season of the Minot Minotauros a new NAHL juniors team.

                          Also you can set your watch to the end of the Gopher's season.

                          Will the gophers ever play in another WCHA final five before their exit to the BTHC?

                          And with only 6 teams in the BTHC will the gophers find a way to miss the BTHC tournament also?

                          Maybe with a 4 team tournament they could continue their new pride on ice tradition of ending their season early.

                            Update: If you are playing an ECAC team on January 7th in Winnipeg, it would have to be Clarkson. Everyone else has something scheduled on that particular date. Whether it will be just one game or an entire weekend, or even if it's completely another league, I don't know.

                              Minnesota "choked" 8 times in a row, over a period of 23 years. I would have thought you would have been familiar with that.

                              BC has the record with 14 Frozen Fours without a championship...over a span of 52 years.

                              New Hampshire has 7 "chokes" without winning, same with Clarkson, Harvard went to 10 Frozen Fours before winning it in their 11th try over Minnesota, and St. Lawrence has been to 9 without ever winning.

                              Nice try though.
