-



         Good Morning and Happy Friday January 30th, 2026 UND Fans! I hope you have a fantastic and enjoyable Friday filled with wonderful moments, exciting opportunities, and positive experiences that bring you joy and happiness throughout the day. May this Friday be a great start to a fantastic weekend ahead! Since it's a Bye Week for UND Hockey, there's no Hockey Pregame and Score Prediction blog. But I am still going to share about UND Hockey today. 


        What a remarkable week for North Dakota Hockey, as three players have been recognized with prestigious National Collegiate Hockey Conference awards. Ellis Rickwood distinguished himself by earning the Forward of the Week recognition, showcasing his exceptional offensive skills and contribution to the team's performance. Defenseman Keaton Verhoeff was acknowledged for his outstanding defensive talent, securing the Defenseman of the Week title. Additionally, Will Zellers made a significant impact as a newcomer, being named Rookie of the Week and highlighting his potential as a rising talent for UND Hockey. These awards underscore the depth of talent and competitive spirit within the North Dakota hockey team, demonstrating the team's commitment to excellence on the ice. Congratulations to Ellis Rickwood, Keaton Verhoeff and Will Zellers on getting recognized by the NCHC! From The Stands To The Spotlight is super proud of you!
