Dec. 4—ST. CLOUD, Minn. — UND gave up a goal on the first shift of the game.

Less than five minutes later, it gave up another on a two-on-zero situation. Then, it handed the nation's best power play an opportunity. St. Cloud State cashed that in for a goal, too.

Believe it or not, it got worse. ...

Players from Winnipeg have been a fixture in the UND hockey program.
From pioneer Bill Reichart to longtime NHLers James Patrick, Travis Zajac and Jonathan Toews to NCAA Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player Lee Goren, there have been countless greats from Winnipeg at UND.

It appears another is on the way.
Jayden Perron, who committed to UND in August, is having an eyebrow-raising rookie season for the Chicago Steel in the United States Hockey League.

The right-handed shooting winger has 21 points in 23 games (.91 points per game), an astounding total for a 16-year-old in the league.

Sioux get swept by Cornell at home. First time they’ve been swept at home since Denver did it in 2018. Blew a 3-1 lead in the third Friday and lost 3-1 Saturday. Now 11 in the pairwise. Not good

Jan. 27—GRAND FORKS — The last time they were on Ralph Engelstad Arena's ice together, they posed for a picture to commemorate the moment.

Mason Salquist, Dane Montgomery and Jackson Kunz all had bleached blonde hair, a longtime Grand Forks Red River boys hockey state tournament tradition. Montgomery had a mullet, too. ...

All three progressed through prep and junior hockey, landed Division-I college commitments and will be back together on that same ice sheet this weekend as UND hosts St. Cloud State in a matchup of two nationally ranked teams.

Salquist is a freshman for the Huskies. Montgomery and Kunz are rookies at UND.

"You never really think you're going to grow up and play against each other in juniors or in college," Montgomery said. "It's pretty awesome we get to do that."

Sioux put up 7 on the Huskies tonight winning 7-1. If you can figure this team out then let me know. Totally different from the last 2 series. Needed that badly. Tomorrow I expect to be a just a bit tighter

 

[JMCx4]

Scoring 3 goals in the opening period sure seemed to help.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Pretty entertaining game tonight at the Ralph. Huskies score 3 unanswered goals to take a 3-1 lead after one. Sioux tie it up and Sandersons beautiful goal and then win the shootout to get 2 points. The way they had been playing 5 out of 6 points from a dam good SCSU team I’ll take anyday

 

[JMCx4]

It's a rollercoaster season for you, eh @Dakota Sioux ?

Friday rewind: Riese Gaber beginning to rack up the points

The sophomore forward scored once and added two assists in the series opener against Omaha.

GRAND FORKS — On the first shift of the game, Riese Gaber blocked a shot in the defensive zone.

Then, Gaber picked up the puck along the right-side boards, skated it through the neutral zone, cut all the way across to the left-wing side, beat defenseman Jason Smallidge wide and centered a pass to Connor Ford.

The pass might have been a little bit out of Ford's reach, but UND coach Brad Berry knew right then it might be a big night for Gaber.

"When Gabes gets out of the chute and has a couple of shifts, you know he's going to have a really good game all night," Berry said.

That was the case Friday. ...

UND loses its shutdown line, a third-period lead and the series finale against Omaha

The Fighting Hawks lost when leading by two goals for the second time in a month.

GRAND FORKS — UND coach Brad Berry put together a shutdown line in the first half of the season.

Its purpose was to match against opponents' top lines and help grind out victories in close games.

Gavin Hain, Mark Senden and Louis Jamernik did just that over and over again for the Fighting Hawks.

But by the end of the second period Saturday night, Berry was without all three of them. Hain was injured in January and is out longterm. His two linemates, Senden and Jamernik, sustained injuries in the second period and didn't return.

Nobody filled their role and a three-line UND let a 2-0 third-period lead slip away. The Fighting Hawks eventually lost to Omaha 3-2 in overtime in front of 11,632 fans in Ralph Engelstad Arena. ...

Just what the doctor ordered. A sweep over Colorado College

Sure, beat up on the team with just 4 conference wins. You should've asked the Tigers to switch opponents with your team next weekend, so y'all could steamroll 3-14-1 Miami-OH rather than face the Bulldogs.
