This week, the focus is on North Dakota and its strong first half under first-year head coach Dane Jackson, who joins us. We also talk about how World Juniors is affecting college hockey schedules, and with the added wrinkle now of a number of big time players leaving even earlier for Team Canada's camp. That plus discussion of Matthews Arena closing its doors. 0:00 Intro 2:35 North Dakota, Team of the Week 9:10 The week that was 25:15 Dane Jackson, North Dakota coach 45:15 College hockey's vacation 54:58 Listener questions Please send feedback or questions to our BlueSky feed @collegehockeynews.com, or X feed @chnews.
