All Spengler Cup Games Will Stream on YouTube - https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2025/12/11_All-Spengler-Cup-Games-Will.php

With the U.S. National Junior Team coming to Duluth next week, the Bulldog Insider Podcast begins its preview of the 2026 World Juniors. We recorded two episodes this week with the two defending gold medalists at UMD. Podcast and Q&A with Adam Kleber: www.duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulld...

Second to Max Plante is his older brother, Zam Plante, who had been No. 1 for awhile. Ty Hanson is No. 5. He's the second highest defenseman behind No. 3 Cole Hutson.

Today's media conference update: UMD women's senior MK O'Brien is still trying to get her TikTok account back after it was hacked. Teammate Tova Henderson seemed upset when MK mentioned she might have to start over with a new account.

The Hobey Baker Memorial Award of UMD’s Bill Watson became the first to ever be auctioned off this winter. It went for over $27,000. Watson's 1983-84 Bulldogs jersey was also sold, for more than $12,000. Story: www.duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulld...

As if the Teddy Bear Toss wasn't enough reason to attend Friday's UMD-Arizona State game, here's another: Unless multiple people have the math wrong, Friday is Scott Sandelin's 1000th game as UMD head coach.

UMD men drop one spot in the USCHO poll from No. 4 to 5, behind North Dakota, which is probably correct since the Hawks won the series in Grand Forks. UMD women maintain at No. 5. Both teams are ranked No. 5. That is helpful for those of us who struggle to remember multiple numbers.

PODCAST @mattwellens.bsky.social talks Packers-Bears, then Bulldog hockey. UMD athletic director Forrest Karr drops by and answers your questions (and some of mine). omny.fm/shows/the-br...

Airport first: TSA searched my backpack because of a hockey puck.

Someone woke up WAY too early to get to the airport.

Another Saturday ends in defeat for UMD after the Bulldogs were unable to build on a pair of one-goal leads they took into the second and third periods. Recap from UMD’s 3-2 OT loss at Lawson to Western Michigan: www.duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulld...

Broncos win it in 3x3 OT 3-2 Final.

Gajan with another highlight reel save, then a more important stoppage forced after Max, Zam and Ty were caught on a long shift.

End of the third. 2-2 Bulldogs and Broncos going to 3x3 OT. UMD gets at least four points in KZoo. Still no six point weekend in NCHC play, but UMD has won another league series.

No penalty on the play. My eyes did not decieve me. Western thought something was there, as they challenged after a TV timeout.

This play is being challenged by Western for a potential major penalty.

WMU's Sharp, who scored the game-tying goal, just got in an awkward collision with UMD's Pierce on the wall. He's slow to the bench, but seems OK. 8:08 to go in the third. 2-2.

Tied. 2-2 14:23 to go Gajan was fighting off a screen and the puck appeared to hit someone on the way in.

Looked like Siepmann tipped this shot by Hanson, that Arnott then put away. Heck of a play on that goal.

End of second period UMD 2, Western 1 SOG 20-16 WMU

2-1 UMD as Arnott knocks in a rebound. 5:59 to go in the second.

Bentz and Anderson nearly connect again on what's been UMD's best scoring chance (maybe only?) of the second period. Anderson wanted a penalty on the play as WMU may have hooked or slashed him.

12:58 2nd, 1-1. Shots 15-10 WMU. Broncos have absolutely upped their level tonight. UMD needs to respond.

WMU's Spicer just took a hard shot off his head from UMD's Hanson. He's beeing looked at on the bench but seems OK. His helmet may have taken the worst of the hard shot.

Tie game Whitelaw gets behind the Bulldogs and beats Gajan 1v1. 14:17 to go in the second. 1-1

GAJAN'S ON

End of the first period. UMD holds off a late push by WMU, thanks in large part to Gajan. 1-0 Bulldogs. SOG 12-9 WMU

Gonna wanna clip that glove save by Gajan, @umdmenshockey.bsky.social.

WMU gets its first kill of the weekend. PP1 had good looks late in its shift after a slow start.

UMD gets its first PP of the night leading 1-0 with 4:06 to go in the first. UMD was 3-for-3 on PPs last night. Stay tuned.

Scout Truman out there making friends again on faceoffs.

BENTZ IS BACK! 1-0 UMD!

6:33 1st, 1-0 UMD. Shots 9-7 WMU.

Pierce on crossbar hat trick watch after catching iron again.

1-0 UMD as Bentz and Anderson force a turnover, then convert. Bentz finishes off dish in front from Anderson. 10:35 to go in the first.

Just the cross bar after a second look. So close.

Pierce had a shot from the blue line go off the crossbar and post, I believe. Puck looked like it was heading it. Great shot by UMD captain. 0-0 SOG 6-3 WMU.

Bulldogs take another stab at finishing off a six point NCHC weekend. Round 2 between UMD and Western slated for 7 p.m. Lines:

UMD goaltender Eve Gascon made 20 saves while forwards Thea Johnasson and Rae Mayer continue to put the puck in the back of the net.

SOG: UMD 10, BSU 6 Goal: Mayer (O'Brien 3:05)

Hello from Lawson. Adam Gajan vs Hampton Slukynsky again. Lines on the blog.

Eve Gascon made 30 saves and the Bulldogs women came back after falling behind in the first period to beat Bemidji State 4-1 at Sanford Center. Recap: www.duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulld...

Senior wing Scout Truman scored two of UMD's three power play goals on a perfect night for the Bulldogs' special teams. Max Plante gave the Michiganders who came to see him a reason to celebrate. Recap of UMD's 4-1 win at Western Michigan: www.duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulld...

FINAL: Minnesota Duluth 4, Western Michigan 1 Two goals for Scout Truman. UMD a perfect 3-for-3 on the power play. Win No. 13 for UMD, tying last season's win total.

Game one win ✅
