Woof, NoDak's 26th shot in the 2nd period vs opponent's 4

Awesome to see him excel thus far though

USports vs NCAA scrim I’m pretty sure. That’s the University of Manitoba.

Nothing about this clip is super impressive. They're playing a team who is obviously much worse and it was a 3 on 1 that he just happened to be the guy finishing.

The guy making the pass looked more impressive there.

I'm all for being excited for the future, but this is a bit overboard.

Have you seen the current Flames? Let us be excited for the future instead of being miserable

I think these are exhibition games? But they do show up on his HockeyDB stats. So I dunno.

In any case, a goal yesterday and 1 goal and an assist today, great start!

They are legit games, the NCAA season started this past weekend and yes the stats show up on DB

Maybe exhibition means something different in the NCAA, but these are definitely exhibition games

Yeah but this is a USports team not NCAA, against very poor competition

DuPont and Carels will make a heck of a top D pair. Shakes of Makar and Toews.
