Transfer Portal 2026

Didn’t St. Cloud State just recently announced the elimination of many academic majors? Isn’t the school bleeding money? What exactly are they using academically to recruit players to the school these days?
The eliminated 42 programs, 50 different minors, 89 staff and 55 faculty.

I believe Siergiej is the main recruiter so if the head coach is cutting the players the associate coach is recruiting then something going to change there as well.

There's a lot going on there that we just don't know about one way or another. I'm not going to make any negative assumptions about what the coaches and players are doing there.

she is actively fighting to keep a few of the portal players. A very good person and coach. My understanding is that if not for her wanting to spend more time with her young children, she would have taken over for Brian. That program can only benefit from her influence.
 
If you are a Canadian citizen and you are transferring back to a Canadian university do you really need to enter the portal? Isn't this just a NCAA thing?

Maybe hoping another NCAA will pick you up?

Unless scholarship money is replaced by another NCAA school, it’s a no-brainer to return to Canada. Only 1/3 the cost, and in many cases significantly better education.

Also, many USports coaches in Canada look to the portal as a source of players instead of from high schoolers in club programs because of both playing experience and maturity
 
Sadura going in from UMD is interesting. Not a ton of points but she was a gritty noticable player on the ice.
She's indicated as a grad transfer, which I've always felt was a great part of this. One last year of hockey while pursuing additional education, team knows what they're getting and so does the student. When done right, it can be a great thing.
 
The Tommyettes are bleeding badly, having lost 63 pts. So much for their accent to fight for 4th place. With her I'd bet the deal is done already.

How much rope do you think Brausen gets? She's been on the staff recruiting this group from the start. Will give her kudos for landing some great recruits, yet the record remains stagnate. This team should be top 5 in the WCHA with how popular the schools is, new facilities, etc....
