      I sure hope this proves to be just an isolated incident and not the start of a trend. I feel so sorry for the players...

          To add insult to injury, North Dakota had one woman commit over the weekend (she tweeted it), and TODAY had a player land at 12:30 CDT at the airport for a recruiting visit to North Dakota, according to Brad Schlossman, whom I trust. You CANNOT make this crap up. North Dakota administration is a bunch of idiots

            There will be so many players leaving that I doubt they would be able to field a competitive team.

              Wow! Sad state. Definitely not the way to conduct things.

                Headline in the Grand Forks Herald, yet we are all still sitting here waiting to be told that it is official. Awesome job @UNDsports

                    They call UND a hockey school for a reason... that includes men's and women's. #Ridiculous
                    Current sophomore on the men's team; that is an impressive tweet.

                      Hearing that this is effective immediately and NoDak will not field a team for the upcoming season.

                        Awful news all around. What does that mean for their players and players at other programs who may be out of their spot if their current team brings in a former North Dakota player? Does this turn into musical chairs between now and next fall or will the ND players not be able to find a home for 2017-18 and sit until 2018-19?

                          The players will be able to transfer for this coming season, but I imagine scholarships will be few and far between at this point.

                          As for musical chairs with players losing spots due to NoDak players transferring in -- I'm guessing that'll be a problem, yeah.

                            Official now per the press release -- team has been cut effective at the end of the '16-'17 academic year, so they will not field a team next season:

                              Not only that, they would need to redshirt a year first if they transfer to another WCHA team. Eastern teams could get a jolt.

                                First they change their name to something lame like the Fighting Hawks and now this?! This is terrible.
