Men’s D-I: North Dakota

After leading turnaround season in 2019-20, North Dakota’s Berry tabbed USCHO Coach of the Year

by

North Dakota finished the NCAA tournament-less season first in the PairWise Rankings. It was some season for the Hawks, recovering in a big way after missing back-to-back NCAA tournaments for the first time since the mid-1990s. Because of that turnaround, UND’s Brad Berry has been voted as USCHO Coach of the Year (photo: Bradley K. Olson).

NCHC picks: Feb. 28-29

by

For a brief moment last weekend, I thought I’d picked up another two games on Matthew in our picks race, but alas, I misread the score of Friday’s game between Minnesota Duluth and Western Michigan. Instead, we had the same record, as I was wrong on that game but correct on the Omaha-CC game. Last … Read more

NCHC picks Jan. 10-11

Learning my lesson from the last time Denver faced a ranked Hockey East team paid off, as I gained another game in the picks race with Matthew by picking a DU sweep. Last week, I went 5-1-2 (.750), while Matthew was 4-2-2 (.625). On the year, I am now 53-39-15 (.565), while Matthew is 49-43-15 … Read more

NCHC picks: Dec. 6

Well, picking all NCHC wins last weekend did me no favors, but since I called the North Dakota sweep, Matthew and I had identical records last weekend of a dismal 2-4 (.333). On the year, I am 36-29-12 (.545), while Matthew is 35-30-12 (.532). Neither of us has done well this season :(. This is … Read more

Well, I am now in the lead over Matthew in our season picks race, though it took longer than I thought it might. Last week, I went 5-2-1 (.687), while Matthew was 4-3-1 (.562). On the year, I am 34-25-12 (.563), while Matthew is 33-26-12 (.549). Watch me give it back this week. Hmmm … … Read more

NCHC picks: Nov. 22

Well, I caught Matthew, thanks to picking North Dakota to win on Saturday. Last week, I went 4-3-1 (.562), while Matthew went 3-4-1 (.437). Neither of us exactly set the world on fire. On the year, Matthew and I are both 29-23-11 (.547). League games always make picking things harder, so let’s see how we … Read more

NCHC picks: Oct. 31-Nov. 2

by

Picking winners on the wrong night killed Matthew and I last week, and Minnesota Duluth continues to drive me insane. I almost picked them to sweep the Goofs last weekend, but was afraid I’d fall farther behind Matthew if I did after their Wisconsin series hurt me in our race. C’est la vie. Last week, … Read more

NCHC picks: Oct. 18

by

It’s one week in, but I have a one-game lead on Matt in our season picks race for the six pack of beer. Picking Minnesota to sweep worked out, as Matthew got the dates of the sweep reversed. This weekend’s action has a couple of big series. North Dakota will look to build on its … Read more
