2️⃣6️⃣ days until Opening Night Muskegon's Finn McLaughlin and Waterloo's Teddy Townsend and Carter Casey made 2025 the 26th-straight year in which the Clark Cup Final featured one or more future #Gophers. It was the second year in a row both teams had at least one future Gopher.
2⃣7⃣ days until Opening Night The #Gophers have iced 27 first-round NHL Draft selections, all-time. Matthew Wood was the first first-rounder to join Minnesota via transfer and became the 24th of the group to play in an NHL game when he debuted on April 6.

2⃣8⃣ days until Opening Night Former #Gophers combined to record 28 points (10-18=28) in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Nate Schmidt led the way with 12 points, tying Joe Micheletti (1981) for the highest-scoring NHL postseason by a Gopher defenseman.
2⃣9⃣ days until Opening Night Matthew Knies led all former #Gophers with 29 NHL goals in 2024-25. Knies' goal total was the highest by a former Gopher in the NHL since 2017-18, when Phil Kessel (34) and Erik Haula (29) hit the mark.

3⃣1⃣ days until Opening Night Connor Kurth's +31 in 2024-25 tied for the third-highest single-season plus/minus rating for the #Gophers since the statistic began being tracked in 2005-06. In 2022-23, Matthew Knies was +31, while Logan Cooley was +38 and Jimmy Snuggerud was +35.
3⃣2⃣ days until Opening Night Jimmy Snuggerud finished second in the Big Ten with 32 points in conference play in 2024-25. Snuggerud had the third-most career goals (40) and fourth-most career points (83) in Big Ten history—both totals were the highest among three-year players.
3⃣4⃣ days until Opening Night Nathan Airey became the 34th #Gophers goaltender to record a conference tournament win with his 21-save effort versus Notre Dame in March. Airey was the first underclassman netminder to win a playoff game for Minnesota since Eric Schierhorn in 2016.

Sounds like Minnesota commit Gunnar Conboy will make his USHL debut in early October. He broke his ankle at the U17 Four Nations Tournament but will only miss a handful or so games to start the year. Great news for a really exciting player!
