NCHC Snapshot: North Dakota
As difficult as it had to be for a loaded North Dakota team to see this spring's postseason canceled, almost all of the cogs from last season will dress for the Fighting Hawks again in 2020-21. Add to that a small-but-talented freshman class, headed by a pair of U.S. National Development defensemen drafted by Ottawa, … Continue reading NCHC Snapshot: North Dakota

CC wins, splits with Miami
For the first two periods, it looked like the two teams that played the previous night had switched sweaters.

Miami already opened its season last weekend vs. Bowling Green, but New Hampshire has yet to play a game in 2019-20.
