He is 311-154-42 (.655) in 13 seasons as a college head coach. Blais staff includes associate head coach Mike Hastings (St. Cloud State 93) and assistant coach Brian Renfrew (Western Michigan 00). SERIES HISTORY: UND and UNO have split their four previous meetings, all of which came last season. The two teams split their November series in Omaha and a January series in Grand Forks. Corban Knight (Jr., High River, Alberta) is UND s active leading scorer against UNO with three points (all assists) in four games. Aaron Dell (Jr., Airdrie, Alberta) started three of the four meetings last season, going 2-1-0 with a 2.83 goals against average and an.889 save perecentage. UND S LAST ACTION: The Sioux are coming off of their second straight WCHA sweep, winning 5-2 (Friday) and 4-1 (Saturday) last weekend in Alaska Anchorage. Sophomore Brock Nelson (Warroad, Minn.) and freshman Brendan O Donnell (Winnipeg, Manitoba) each scored twice in Friday s win, while Carter Rowney (Jr., Sexsmith, Alberta) added a single tally. Corban Knight (Jr., High River, Alberta) chipped in with three assists. Brad Eidsness (Sr., Chestermere, Alberta) stopped 26 of 28 shots for the win. Nelson added two more goals on Saturday, with Ben Blood (Sr., Plymouth, Minn.) and Danny Kristo (Jr., Eden Prairie, Minn.) each adding a goal and an assist. Aaron Dell (Jr., Airdrie, Alberta) stopped 19 of 20 shots. UND s power play went 5-for-11 on the weekend, while the penalty kill thwarted 11 of 13 UAA chances. POLL POSITION: UND is ranked No. 19 in the latest USCHO.com poll after being unranked the previous two weeks. The Sioux remain unranked in the USA Today/ USA Hockey Magazine poll. UND is ranked 20th in this week s INCH Power Rankings. BROCK N ROLL: Sophomore forward Brock Nelson (Warroad, Minn.) continued his torrid production with four goals and an assist at Alaska Anchorage, resulting in his second straight WCHA Offensive Player of the Week honor. Nelson has 11 points (7g, 4a) during a current 4-game point streak and has four 2-goal games in his last six outings. Nelson leads the WCHA with 12 goals during league games and has a team-leading 14 goals overall. His nine power-play goals lead the nation and are more than halfway to the UND single-season record of 17, shared by Ryan Duncan (2006-07) and Doug Smail (1979-80). KNIGHTLINE: UND s line of Brock Nelson (So., Warroad, Minn.), Corban Knight (Jr., High River, Alberta) and Danny Kristo (Jr., Eden Prairie, Minn.) combined for 11 points at UAA and now has 49 points in the 11 games in which they ve played together. UND has won seven of those games, with the unit combining for 41 points in those seven wins: 7 Wins 4 Losses Nelson 12-5-17 1-2-3 Knight 4-10-14 1-1-2 Kristo 4-6-10 2-1-3 Totals 20-21-41 4-4-8 The trio has combined for 62 of UND s 126 points this season, which equates to 49.2 percent of the team s offensive production. ODE TO ODIE : Freshman forward Brendan O Donnell (Winnipeg, Manitoba) was named WCHA Rookie of the Week after his two-goal performance in UND s 5-2 win at UAA on Friday. O Donnell scored both of his goals, including the eventual game-winner, in the opening 9:42 of the first period to propel the Sioux to victory. Since returning to the lineup from a six-game injury absence, O Donnell has three goals and a plus-3 rating in six games. NATIONAL TREASURE: Sophomore defenseman Derek Forbort (Duluth, Minn.) was one of 29 players named to the United States national junior team preliminary roster by USA Hockey on Tuesday. Forbort is a repeat invitee after helping the U.S. win the bronze medal at the 2010 IIHF World Junior Championship in Buffalo, N.Y. Forbort will attend camp beginning December 17 in Alberta, with the final roster expected to be named on Dec. 22. If Forbort makes the final roster, he will miss UND s regular season games against Harvard (Dec. 30-31) and will rejoin the team when the Sioux face Clarkson in Winnipeg on Jan. 7. Forbort is bidding to become the 32nd player to represent UND on the U.S. National Junior roster dating back to 1979. The Sioux hockey program has had 45 participants in the prestigious World Junior Hockey Championship, representing the United States, Canada and Slovakia. In 16 games this season, Forbort has a goal and three assists. ON THE OFFENSIVE: The Sioux have scored 20 goals in their four games since being shut out 1-0 at Bemidji State on Nov. 20. During that same stretch, UND s power play has gone 9-for-22 (41.0 percent). UND is actually averaging fewer shots per game (26.5) during its four-game winning streak than it did during its 4-7-1 start (28.5).

DEC. 7, 2011 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING SIOUX MEN S HOCKEY GAME NOTES PAGE 3 However, UND s shooting percentage is 18.9 percent over the last four games, compared to 8.5 percent over the first 12. CHILLIN LIKE DILLON: After being held without a point through the first nine games of the season, sophomore defenseman Dillon Simpson (Edmonton, Alberta) is riding a four-game point streak and has reached the scoresheet in six of his last seven games. Simpson has four assists during his four-game point streak, and has seven assists in his last seven games. Simpson had two goals and eight assists in 30 games last season as a freshman. THERE WILL BE BLOOD: Simpson is not UND s only defenseman enjoying a hot streak. Senior Ben Blood (Plymouth, Minn.) is also in the midst of a four-game point streak, logging a goal and five assists during that stretch. Blood has a pair of two-point outings in his last three games. Blood has also appeared in 116 consecutive games, the longest such streak among active Sioux. EIDS WIDE SHUT: Senior goalie Brad Eidsness (Chestermere, Alberta) stopped 26 of 28 shots in last Friday s 5-2 win at UAA to earn his 53rd career victory. That moves Eidsness past former NHLer Jon Casey (1980-84) and 1997 NCAA champion Toby Kvalevog (1993-97) for sole possession of fifth all-time at UND: Rk. Player Wins 1.

Brad Eidsness (2008-present)...94 Eidsness also ranks fifth all-time at UND in goals against average (2.44), sixth in save percentage (.905), tied for eighth in shutouts (four), ninth in saves (2,077) and 10th in winning percentage (.661). In five games (three starts) this season, Eidsness is 3-1-0 and leads the team in goals against average (2.43) and save percentage (.918). IT S HOW YOU FINISH: UND enters the week with an 8-7-1 overall record and a 6-6-0 WCHA record that is good for a fourth-place tie in the league standings. However, under eighth-year head coach Dave Hakstol, the Sioux have typically played their best hockey after the Christmas break: Year Before After 2004-05 13-7-2 (.636) 12-8-3 (.587) 2005-06 12-7-1 (.625) 17-9-0 (.654) 2006-07 7-10-1 (.417) 17-4-4 (.760) 2007-08 8-6-1 (.567) 20-5-3 (.768) 2008-09 9-8-1 (.528) 15-7-3 (.660) 2009-10 9-6-3 (.583) 16-7-2 (.680) 2010-11 13-5-2 (.700) 19-4-1 (.813) 2011-12 8-7-1 (.531)? Totals 79-56-12 (.578) 116-44-16 (.705) GET CARTER: With four goals and eight points through 16 games, junior forward Carter Rowney (Sexsmith, Alberta) is off to the most productive start of his collegiate career. Rowney scored his fourth goal of the season last Friday at UAA, eclipsing the career-high three he scored in 28 games as a sophomore. It was also Rowney s eighth point of the year, matching the personal-high he recorded in 39 games as a freshman in 2009-10. All four of Rowney s goals this season have come on the power play. He did not register a power-play goal through his first two seasons at UND (67 games played). KNIGHT MOVES: Last season, center Corban Knight (Jr., High River, Alberta) broke Zach Parise s single-season school record by winning 59.9 percent of his faceoffs. This season, Knight appears to be making another run at the record. Knight has won a team-leading 59.6 percent of his faceoffs through 16 games, which is only slightly off of last year s pace. In last weekend s sweep at UAA, Knight won 14 of 24 draws on Friday and 16 of 29 on Saturday, making it 15 of 16 games in which he has won 50 percent or better. NICK OF TIME: Freshman defenseman Nick Mattson (Chanhassen, Minn.) has emerged as one of the most productive rookies in the WCHA through the first two months of the season. Mattson has collected nine points (3g, 6a) through 16 games, which ranks second among WCHA rookie defensemen. Only Denver s Joey LaLeggia, with 11 points in 14 games, has more.

PAGE 4 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING SIOUX MEN S HOCKEY GAME NOTES DEC, 7, 2011 Mattson is both UND s top-scoring defenseman and top-scoring freshman. ASSISTANCE PLAN: Junior goalie Aaron Dell (Airdrie, Alberta) has four career assists, a total topped by only one goalie in the history of the program: current volunteer assistant coach Karl Goehring. Goehring amassed a school-record seven assists from 1997 to 2001. SUPER DAVE: UND s series sweep over No. 4 CC last weekend gave head coach Dave Hakstol his 194th and 195th career victories. Hakstol enters this weekend with a career overall record of 195-100-28 (.647). His 195 victories rank third all-time at UND behind only John Gino Gasparini (392 wins, 1978-94), whom Hakstol played under at UND, and Dean Blais (262, 1994-2004), whom Hakstol succeeded as UND head coach. With 32 wins last season, UND has reached the 20-win plateau in each of Hakstol s first seven seasons behind the Sioux bench. It was also the third-highest win total in progrma history. Hakstol s streak of seven straight 20-win seasons is the second-longest in UND history, behind only John Gino Gasparini s 13 in a row (1978-79 to 1990-91). MARIO S MILESTONE: When senior captain Mario Lamoureux (Grand Forks, N.D.) scored the game-winning goal on Nov. 19 at Bemidji State, he entered the UND history books by scoring the 10,000th goal in program history. Perhaps it was fitting that Lamoureux would be the one to score the milestone goal, considering he is from Grand Forks, and his extensive family ties to UND hockey. Lamoureux s sisters, Jocelyne and Monique, are junior forwards on UND s women s hockey team. His father, Pierre, played goalie for the Sioux from 1979-82 and was a member of two NCAA championship teams. His brother, Jean-Philippe, was a goaltender at UND from 2004-08 and was an All-American as a senior. Another brother, Pierre-Paul, is currently in his third season on UND s coaching staff as assistant video coordinator. Finally, his uncle, Roger Lamoureux, was a four-year letterwinner at forward for the Sioux from 1973 to 1977. SUPER MARIO: In addition to the 10,000-goals milestone, Lamoureux s tally on Nov. 19 was significant for another reason. With the goal, UND improved to 13-0-0 alltime when Lamoureux scores. THE EAGLE SOARS INTO THE HALL: Fighting Sioux legend Ed Belfour made history on Nov. 14 when he became the first UND product to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Belfour parlayed a historic 1986-87 freshman season into a distinguished professional career that saw him become the third-winningest goalie in NHL history. Only Martin Brodeur (627 wins) and Patrick Roy (551) have won more games than Belfour, who won 484 from 1988 to 2007. A native of Carman, Manitoba, Belfour won a UND-record 29 games (since broken) in 1986-87 and was named an NCAA All-American after leading the Fighting Sioux to the 1987 national championship. He was the backbone of the famed Hrkac Circus team that won a then-ncaa-record 40 games. Belfour twice won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL s best goalie and helped lead the Dallas Stars to a Stanley Cup championship in 1999. A six-time all-star game participant, Belfour ranks third in NHL history in wins (484), fourth in games played (963) and saves (24,750), and ninth in shutouts (76). He finished his career with a 2.50 goals against average and a.906 save percentage. Belfour also excelled on the international stage, winning a Canada Cup in 1991 and an Olympic gold medal in 2002 for Canada. WE WERE MERELY FRESHMEN: Forwards Rocco Grimaldi (Rossmoor, Calif.) and Mark MacMillan (Penticton, British Columbia) were both ranked among the top 20 freshman forwards in the country by InsideCollegeHockey.com in October. Grimaldi was ranked No. 5 and MacMillan was ranked No. 11. UND s overall freshman class was ranked No. 2 in the nation behind only Miami s. LOWE S AND BEHOLD: Brad Eidsness (Sr., Chestermere, Alberta) is one of 20 national candidates for the prestigious Lowe s Senior CLASS Award. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence community, classroom, character and competition. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Lowe s Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities. On the ice, Eidsness is a two-time All-WCHA selection and is one of only two goalies in UND history (with Karl Goehring) to have won 20 games in each of his first two years. In the classroom, Eidsness was the 2010-11 men s hockey recipient of the NCAA Elite 88 Award, given to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade point average at his or her sport s championship site. Already in graduate school pursuing a master s degree in business administration, Eidsness received his bachelor s degree in entrepreneurship last spring.

DEC. 7, 2011 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING SIOUX MEN S HOCKEY GAME NOTES PAGE 5 An active member of the community, Eidsness has logged significant hours of community service with a variety of organizations in each of his first three years at UND, including the Sioux Kids Club, the National Honor Society, the Northlands Rescue Mission, Pucks for Plates and more. The 20 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, Division I men s coaches and fans who will select one finalist who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition. Eidsness former teammate, Chay Genoway, was a finalist last season for the Lowe s Senior CLASS Award and was named to the 2010-11 Lowe s Senior CLASS Award All-America first team. NORTHERN EXPOSURE: UND will travel to Winnipeg on Jan. 7 to face Clarkson in a nonconference game at the MTS Centre, home to the NHL s Winnipeg Jets. Dubbed the U.S. College Hockey Classic, the game will be UND s first game on Canadian soil in 59 years. It is being held in partnership with Ralph Engelstad Arena and True North Sports & Entertainment Limited (TNSE). Former UND football letterwinner Mark Chipman is the president of TNSE. The last time UND played a men s hockey game in Canada was Dec. 29-30, 1953, when the Sioux lost a pair of games to host Fort Frances (Ontario). The last time UND played outside of the United States was Dec. 26-29, 1982, when the Sioux competed in the Spengler Cup in Switzerland. CALLING ALL CAPTAINS: Senior forward Mario Lamoureux (Grand Forks, N.D.) was named team captain at UND s annual preseason media day luncheon. In 43 games last season, Lamoureux established career highs in points (17) and assists (14) while earning his second straight WCHA All-Academic selection. In 109 career games, Lamoureux has amassed 13 goals and 22 assists. Interestingly, Lamoureux s younger sister, Jocelyne, was named captain of UND s women s this season. Mario Lamoureux joins Steve Johnson (1987-88), Jeff Panzer (2000-01) and Andy Schneider (2003-04) as the only Grand Forks natives to captain their hometown team. Senior defenseman Ben Blood (Plymouth, Minn.), junior defenseman Andrew MacWilliam (Calgary, Alberta) and junior forward Corban Knight (High River, Alberta) were named assistant captains.

Oshie, Taylor Chorney and Brian Lee, as well as 2006-07 Hobey Baker Award winner Ryan Duncan. FEELING A DRAFT: The 2011-12 Sioux roster boasts 15 National Hockey League draft picks, including 2011 selections Rocco Grimaldi (Fr., Rossmoor, Calif.) and Dillon Simpson (So., Edmonton, Alberta). Grimaldi was taken in the second round (33rd overall) by Florida, while Simpson went in the fourth round (92nd overall) to Edmonton. Simpson s father, Craig, won two Stanley Cups with Edmonton during his 10-year NHL career. He is now the lead color analyst on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation s (CBC) Hockey Night in Canada. UND s current collection of draft picks features two 1st-rounders (Derek Forbort, Brock Nelson), two 2nd-rounders (Rocco Grimaldi, Danny Kristo), three 4th-rounders (Ben Blood, Mark MacMillan, Dillon Simpson), four 5throunders (Brad Eidsness, Corban Knight, Michael Parks, Derek Rodwell), two 6throunders (Nick Mattson, Brendan O Donnell) and two 7th-rounders (Joe Gleason, Andrew MacWilliam).

DEC. 7, 2011 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING SIOUX MEN S HOCKEY GAME NOTES PAGE 13 Now in his eighth 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. Through his first seven seasons, Hakstol has compiled a 187-93-27 (.653) overall winning percentage and a 113-64-19 (.625) WCHA record. Already a six-time finalist for the prestigious Spencer Penrose Award as the national coach of the year, Hakstol guided the Fighting Sioux to the NCAA Frozen Four in 2010-11, giving UND an incredible five Frozen Four berths in Hakstol s first seven years as head coach. He also led UND to a second MacNaughton Cup in three years as WCHA champions, giving the Sioux 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 and the Sioux turned in the third-winningest season (32 wins) in the program s illustrious history. Three of Hakstol s players garnered All-America honors in 2010-11: 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. Genoway was named the WCHA s Most Outstanding Student-Athlete, while Dell won a schoolrecord 30 games, toppling a 24-year-old record previously held by Hockey Hall of Famer Ed Belfour. In the classroom, UND placed a program-record 16 student-athletes on the WCHA All-Academic team and boasted five WCHA Scholar-Athlete honorees. In 2009-10, Hakstol and the Sioux added another piece of hardware to UND s championship lore with a Broadmoor Trophy as the WCHA Final Five champions, the second Broadmoor Trophy of Hakstol s distinguished tenure. Hakstol led the Sioux to a 25-13-5 overall record and a 15-10-3 WCHA mark, landing an eighth straight NCAA postseason appearance, the third-longest streak in the nation. The Fighting Sioux went 24-15-4 overall and 17-7-4 in conference play in 2008-09 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. Hakstol joined rare company when he took the Sioux 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 (2004-05) as head coach, he led a team with nine seniors to the Frozen Four. In his second season (2005-06), 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 2007-08, his fourth season, Hakstol led UND to a 28-11-4 overall record and 18-7-3 WCHA mark (second place). A key in Hakstol s success has been surrounding himself with an outstanding coaching staff. His first two seasons, he was joined by associate head coach Brad Berry and assistant coach Cary Eades. Eades has won championships on every level at which he has played or coached. Berry s outstanding work at UND resulted in him accepting an assistant coach position in the NHL s Vancouver Canucks organization in the summer of 2006. To fill the vacancy created by Berry s departure, Eades was promoted to associate head coach and Hakstol hired former Sioux and NHL player Dane Jackson as an assistant coach. Jackson, who had an 11-year career as a professional hockey player, has became an integral part of the coaching staff by working individually with each Fighting Sioux player on developing their skills. The trademark of the Fighting Sioux during Hakstol s first seven seasons has been UND s ability to play its best hockey at the most crucial time of the year in the playoffs.

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 year, Toews led Canada to a gold medal at the Olympics in Vancouver and was named the tournament s top forward. In the last seven seasons, 33 UND players have been selected in the NHL Entry Draft, including six in the 2007, 2008 and 2010 NHL Drafts. UND men s hockey players are also outstanding students.
