The other three tournaments featured four-team classic formats. UND swept two-game series against Canisius ( ), Colorado College ( ) and Holy Cross ( ). UND has split series with Harvard ( ), New Hampshire ( ) and Cornell ( ), and was swept by Michigan Tech ( ). Please refer to page 6 for a complete look, including year-by-year results, at the Subway Holiday Classic. About the Saints St. Lawrence is coming off a series split at ECAC rival Rensselaer last weekend, taking the opener on Friday 5-3 before falling 6-4 the following night in the series finale. Senior forward Greg Carey, a Hobey Baker Award finalist last season, leads the ECAC in points (24) and assists (15) through 14 games and ranks second in the national scoring race. Fellow senior Justin Baker is the top-scoring defenseman in the ECAC with 14 points. The Saints rank fourth nationally in both scoring offense (3.86 goals per game) and power play (27.9%), but rank second-to-last in the ECAC and 52nd nationally in scoring defense (3.64 goals per game). SLU Coaching Staff Head coach Greg Carvel (St. Lawrence 93) is in his second season behind the bench of his alma mater and owns a (.538) record. Carvel s staff includes associate head coach Mike Hurlbut (St. Lawrence 89) and assistant coach Kris Mayotte (Union 06). Series History UND has won 11 of the 12 all-time meetings (and all six in Grand Forks) between the two programs, the lone loss a 7-5 road setback on Dec. 29, Since that game, UND has won eight straight matchups. The only meeting during the Dave Hakstol era was a 4-2 UND win on Dec. 30, 2006 at the Ledyard National Bank Tournmanet at New Hampshire. Poll Position UND and St. Lawrence were both unranked in the latest USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine national polls released on Monday. UND did receive votes in both rankings, while St. Lawrence garnered votes in the USCHO poll. Refer to Page 8 for complete poll information. Last Week UND settled for a Saturday tie in a nonconference series at Boston University despite racking up 96 shots on the weekend. In Saturday s 3-3 overtime tie, UND fired 58 shots on net -- the team s most in 13 years -- but BU goalie Matt O Connor turned aside a career-high 55 of them. Stephane Pattyn (Jr., Ste. Anne, Manitoba), Bryn Chyzyk (So., Virden, Manitoba) and Adam Tambellini (Fr., Edmonton, Alberta) each scored their second goal of the season for UND. Rocco Grimaldi (So., Rossmoor, Calif.) scored the lone UND goal in Friday s 3-1 loss. Hit Me With Your Best Shot UND s 58 shots in last Saturday s 3-3 tie at BU were its most since it had 65 in a 5-4 win over Princeton on Dec. 30, Twenty-five of those 58 shots came in the third period alone, UND s most in a period this season. UND entered last week s series in Boston averaging 28.4 shots per game before collecting a season-high 38 on Friday, followed by another season high of 58 on Saturday. UND s 96 shots in the series at BU marked its most in a single weekend since Dec. 2000, when it had 105 total shots at the Badger Showdown in Milwaukee. UND had 40 shots against BU on Dec. 29 the night before firing 65 against Princeton. Block Party Senior captain Dillon Simpson (Edmonton, Alberta) enters the weekend having blocked an NCHC-leading 31 shots through 12 games, including eight last week at BU. Simpson s 31 blocked shots tie him for eighth nationally. New Hampshire senior defenseman Eric Knodel leads the country with 43 blocked shots in 15 games. Simpson leads all UND defensemen with six points, on a goal and five assists.

3 NOVEMBER 27, 2013 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA MEN S HOCKEY GAME NOTES PAGE 3 Someday I ll Be Saturday Night UND is still searching for its first Saturday victory of the season. Following a 3-3 overtime tie last weekend at BU, UND is on Saturdays, on Fridays and on Sundays. Roster Reinforcement After missing five games due to injury, junior forward Brendan O Donnell (Winnipeg, Manitoba) returned to UND s lineup last Saturday and was named the game s second star after registering an assist and a careerhigh seven shots on goal. At the time of his injury, O Donnell had been tied for the team lead with three goals in six games. UND was without the services of injured forwards Mark MacMillan (Jr., Penticton, British Columbia), Derek Rodwell (Sr., Taber, Alberta) and Colten St. Clair (So., Gilbert, Arizona). MacMillan and Rodwell missed both games at BU with undisclosed injuries, while St. Clair has missed the past three weeks with a lower body injury. Freshman First Freshman defenseman Keaton Thompson (Devils Lake, N.D.) recorded his first collegiate point last Saturday when he assisted on Bryn Chyzyk s (So., Virden, Manitoba) first-period goal. Thompson played both games at BU after having appeared in just one of UND s first 10 games. Forward Thinking A pair of defensemen were forced to play forward both nights at BU last weekend due to injuries in UND s lineup. Sophomore Andrew Panzarella (Washington, D.C.) and freshman Gage Ausmus (East Grand Forks, Minn.) played the wing on a line centered by junior Stephane Pattyn (Ste. Anne, Manitoba). Panzarella and Ausmus each recorded three shots on goal in the series and both registered an even plus/minus rating. Parks and Rec With nine points (3G, 6A) through 12 games this season, forward Michael Parks (Jr., St. Louis, Mo.) has already eclipsed the eight points he had in 25 games during his injuryplagued sophomore season. Murphy s Law After being held without a point in his first nine collegiate games, freshman forward Wade Murphy (Victoria, British Columbia) has collected two assists in the last three games. Crowded House UND sold out both games in its most recent home series against Minnesota Duluth, drawing 11,810 on Friday and 11,974 on Saturday. UND is now averaging an NCAA-leading 11,850 fans at home in the 11,634-seat Ralph Engelstad Arena. That s on pace to break the school record of 11,756 set in UND is averaging over 2,200 fans more per game than any other school in Division I men s hockey. Minnesota ranks second nationally in average home attendance at 9,590. UND led NCAA Division I men s hockey in home attendance in , averaging 11,592 fans in its 21 home games, the only program in the country to average better than 10,000 fans per home game. Rocco s Modern Life Sophomore forward Rocco Grimaldi (Rossmoor, Calif.) had his season-best 5-game point streak snapped last Saturday BU. Grimaldi is the team leader in points (11), assists (7) and power-play goals (3), and is tied with linemate Drake Caggiula (So., Pickering, Ontario) for the goal-scoring lead with four. Famous Dave UND s 4-2 win over No. 20 Minnesota Duluth on Nov. 15 was Dave Hakstol s 400th game as North Dakota head coach. That s a milestone previously reached only by Hakstol s two predecessors, Dean Blais (410) and Gino Gasparini (664). Hakstol s 239 coaching wins also trail only Gasparini (392) and Blais (262). Cagg-Ooh-La-La Sophomore forward Drake Caggiula s (Pickering, Ontario) highlight reel goal against St. Cloud State on Nov. 1 received national attention when it was named the top play on FOX Sports Live later that night. The goal was also number one on the NCAA s Top 5 Goals of the Week and the NCHC s Top 5 Goals of the Week. Caggiula scored the goal one week after being stretchered off the ice after a mid-ice collision in UND s exhibition win over the U.S. Under-18 Team. He was released from the hospital later that night after all texts came back negative. USCHO.com DI Men s Poll (November 25, 2013) Rk Team (1st votes) Record Pts. PR 1.

13 NOVEMBER 27, 2013 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA MEN S HOCKEY GAME NOTES PAGE 13 Now in his 10th season as the head coach at the University of North Dakota, Dave Hakstol has established himself as one of the most accomplished and well-respected bench bosses in NCAA hockey. The only active Division I coach with a winning record in every season of his career, Hakstol has guided his teams to either an NCAA Frozen Four berth, a conference regular season championship or a conference playoff title in nine of his 10 seasons. Through his first nine seasons as UND head coach, Hakstol has become the third-winningest coach in program history, compiling a (.648) overall record. A six-time finalist for the Spencer Penrose Award as national coach of the year, Hakstol has guided UND to five NCAA Frozen Four appearances, four WCHA Final Five playoff championships, two WCHA regular season titles and has advanced to the NCAA postseason in each of his nine years. He was named WCHA Coach of the Year in Last season Hakstol guided the men s hockey program to its 11th consecutive NCAA postseason appearance, the longest active streak in Division I men s hockey. Seniors Danny Kristo and Corban Knight were both named Hobey Baker Award finalists and All-Americans, while sophomore defenseman Nick Mattson distinguished himself in the classroom by earning CoSIDA Academic All-District honors. UND also reinforced its reputation as the top draw in NCAA Division I men s hockey by leading the nation in average home attendance (11,592), the only program in the country to average better than 10,000 fans per home game. In , Hakstol led an injury-depleted team to an unprecedented third consecutive Broadmoor Trophy as WCHA Final Five champions and was named Inside College Hockey s National Coach of the Year. With eight players missing 110 games due to injury, UND was forced to dress fewer than 18 skaters on 14 occasions, yet went 11-3 in those games, earned the No. 1 seed in the NCAA West Regional, and advanced to the regional championship game for the sixth time in eight years. In the classroom, senior Brad Eidsness was named WCHA Most Outstanding Student-Athlete of the Year while also receiving postgraduate scholarships from the WCHA and NCAA. Hakstol, 35 years old when he was named UND s head men s hockey coach on July 9, 2004, is just the 15th head men s hockey coach in school history and only the program s fourth head coach in the past 44 years. Hakstol, who wore the Kelly Green and White from , is also just the fifth former UND player to also become head coach at North Dakota. Hakstol joined rare company when he took UND to the Frozen Four in his first four seasons as a collegiate head coach, joining Jack Parker and Doug Woog as the only three coaches to accomplish that feat. In Hakstol s first season ( ) as head coach, he led a team with nine seniors to the Frozen Four. In his second season ( ), he led a team with 13 freshmen and just two seniors to the Frozen Four. In his third season, Hakstol took UND to the Frozen Four yet again, and sophomore forward Ryan Duncan won the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as the best player in college hockey. In , his fourth season, Hakstol led UND to a overall record and WCHA mark (second place). UND went overall and in conference play in en route to their WCHA-leading 14th league championship. Hakstol was also recognized as WCHA Coach of the Year for the first time in his career. In , Hakstol and UND added another piece of hardware to the program s championship lore with a Broadmoor Trophy as the WCHA Final Five champions, the second Broadmoor Trophy of Hakstol s distinguished tenure.

In , Hakstol led UND to a second MacNaughton Cup in three years as WCHA champions, giving UND an NCAA men s hockey-leading 15 conference titles. UND also won its second straight Broadmoor Trophy as WCHA playoff champions. In the process, Hakstol s squad turned in the third-winningest season (32 wins) in the program s illustrious history. Three of Hakstol s players garnered All-America honors in : forward Matt Frattin (first team), defenseman Chay Genoway (first team) and goalie Aaron Dell (second team). Frattin, who led the nation with 36 goals, was also a Hobey Baker Award Hobey Hat Trick finalist and the WCHA Player of the Year. He would debut for the Toronto Maple Leafs on Hockey Night in Canada that same season. Genoway was named the WCHA s Most Outstanding Student-Athlete, while Dell won a school-record 30 games, toppling a 24-year-old record previously held by Hockey Hall of Famer Ed Belfour. The trademark of North Dakota hockey during Hakstol s tenure has been UND s ability to play its best hockey at the most crucial time of the year in the playoffs. During his first nine years, Hakstol has led UND to an overall postseason record of (.714) that includes a WCHA playoff record and 13-9 NCAA playoff mark. UND s 45 combined NCAA and conference playoff wins the last nine seasons are 15 more than any other WCHA team during that time. UND has also furthered its reputation for doing an outstanding job in preparing players for professional hockey careers and careers beyond hockey. Last season, more than 50 products of the program played professionally, including 13 who played in the National Hockey League. Among the 13 was former All-American Jonathan Toews, who captained the Chicago Blackhawks to their second Stanley Cup in the last four years. In the last seven seasons alone, 12 of Hakstol s former UND players have debuted the NHL the year after completing their collegiate careers, including Chay Genoway ( ), Brad Malone ( ), Matt Frattin ( ), Chris VandeVelde ( ), T.J. Oshie ( ), Chris Porter ( ), Taylor Chorney ( ), Brian Lee ( ), Brock Nelson ( ), Matt Smaby ( ), Drew Stafford ( ) and Travis Zajac. In , Toews made the jump directly to the NHL s Chicago Blackhawks after playing two years at UND. He was a finalist for the NHL s Rookie of the Year Award and in the summer of 2008 was named the captain of the Blackhawks, becoming the third-youngest captain in NHL history. Toews was 20 years and 79 days old when he assumed the role as Chicago s captain. In 2010, Toews led the Blackhawks to their first Stanley Cup Championship in 49 years, capturing Conn Smythe Trophy honors as playoff MVP in the process. Earlier that same
