Shame on me 🫣
Seriously though, really excited for this coming season. It’s been a while since we’ve brought in a group as exciting as Primerano, Mlýnková and Morrow at the same time.
Was going to post some stuff on Sydney Morrow for those that follow the women’s side a bit, but not in depth and don’t know why this has got some of us excited. I decided not to as the Gopher Sports story did a nice job, I thought. Better writing than my crap. In talking about Sydney’s hockey family they did leave out her younger siblings. Younger sister SOPHIE will be a senior on Shattuck’s Prep team this coming season and then will play at Penn State. Younger brother SPENCER was a senior defenseman on Shattuck’s u18 team this past season. Not sure what his future plans are. Four Morrow siblings through the Shattuck program. Hopefully there was a volume discount.
The 2024-25 roster is up. No pictures for the newcomers yet.

What's with the football numbers? Don't like it.

Welcome to the 21st Century. These players have been watching NHL and PWHL players wearing high numbers for years, of course they are going to follow suit.
I think they're kind of cool for a change of pace.
Mlýnková (Vermont) and Clark (Etobicoke) are wearing the numbers they wore on their previous teams. Parkkonen wore 14 (Maggie Nicholson’s number) last year at Vermont and Graham wore 4 (Audrey Wethington’s number) last year at Rink Academy-Kelowna.
Notable that there are 11 non-MN players on this year's team. 15 Minnesotans.
@outofstateoutofmind I would bet that is the highest % of in-state players on any major power in women's hockey program. WI and OH only have a handful.
With the Sox season this year hopefully they don’t sign her.
Chloe Primerano and Gracie Graham are among the players mentioned here….
From “The Hockey News: “Who is the team to beat in NCAA Women's Hockey?”
As a fan that doesn't pay attention nearly as close as Iceburg and others above, this team should be pretty dang good, correct?

Unfortunately I still see a substantial gap between Wisconsin and the field, but this should be one of the most entertaining Gopher squads at least since Heise and Zumwinkle were here.
The Gopher’s five European players will be playing in tournaments closer to home starting this weekend.
Pretty much unheard of for 🇨🇦 to consider someone this young for the senior women’s team.
EDIT: Of course after checking out the ROSTER for the camp, maybe the Canadians are changing their ways a bit. Chloe is the youngest and the only 2007 birth year, but there is a 2006 and a 2005 also.
