GRAND FORKS If all goes according to plan, Cole Reschny will sign with the Calgary Flames at the end of the 2026-27 season and begin his pro career.
But Reschny made it clear to everyone in Calgary that he intends to do one thing this year at UND win a national championship.
Reschny repeatedly mentioned his desire to bring a national title back to Grand Forks during his media availability at Calgarys development camp last week.
I think one more good year at North Dakota to help me develop as a player, as a person, off the ice, with my body in the gym and nutrition-wise, Reschny said about his timeline to turn pro.
Thats the goal: hopefully win a national championship, then make the jump at the end of the year and hopefully get a couple (NHL) games in and get that experience.
UND lost 2-1 to Wisconsin in the NCAA Frozen Four semifinals last season in Las Vegas.
After the game, Reschny said the programs standard should be Frozen Fours, and that he was driven to finish it off in 2027 in Washington, D.C.
College hockey is getting very strong, Reschny said.
There are some powerhouse teams.
You see Michigan, you see Michigan State, Denver obviously, us, Minnesota Duluth is coming.
Its going to be a grind.
Whoever comes out on top, its going to be tough.
But I think weve got the team to do it.
Its always tough in those one-off games but thats college hockey and youve got to play it.
But I think weve got a very good shot ourselves.
Reschny had a strong freshman season at UND, scoring six goals and tallying 35 points in 36 games.
He was named the National Collegiate Hockey Conferences Rookie of the Year.
Reschny said there were some growing pains early in the season, coming from Victoria of the Western Hockey League.
The first month was hard, Reschny said.
You dont realize how hard college hockey is until youre playing it.
You go from playing 16- to 20-year-olds to..
there are 24-year-olds out there.
I think the time and space was the biggest thing.
No one takes a shift off.
Every night is going to be hard.
Youve got to grind it out and find a way.
But that was very good for my game.
Im not the biggest guy but I play strong and play hard.
So, just learning to play against those bigger guys, putting my time in the gym, nutrition-wise, too.
Were very lucky at North Dakota.
I used that to my advantage.
It was very good having Dane Jackson as my head coach.
Hes played pro.
He understands.
It was a good year, we had a good group around us.
We just fell short, so hopefully we can do it this year.
A Calgary media member asked Reschny why players coming out of North Dakota always talk about how special it is.
Were so lucky there with the facilities, the people, the environment, Reschny said.
Every day its so fun to go to the rink and just try to get better and push each other on the ice, in the weight room and were always battling with little things, too.
The ice is always available for us.
Were always going out, playing games, shooting pucks, doing things like that.
The environment, the culture, the rich history, the pride of the program and the facilities are second to none.
Its a special place to be.
Im very excited to go back there another year.
I think weve got an extremely good team again, so it will be good.
One of the players UND is adding to its roster also was at Calgary Flames development camp.
Carson Carels, the No.
6 overall draft pick, is slated to be a freshman defenseman.
I think UND is going to shape me to be a more complete player and continue my maturity as a player, Carels said.
I think its going to be a good step and Im really happy going there.
Carels was asked if theres temptation to sign an NHL deal right away and try to make Calgarys roster.
Theres obviously temptation to hop in this, Carels said, but in the long run, you dont want a five-year career.
You want to get to the 15- or 20-year mark.
I think that extra year of college is going to set my body right and set my mind right for a longer career.
Carels and Reschny were teammates at the World Junior Championship last year in Minneapolis and St.
Paul.
Weve played together a lot, Carels said.
I think were going to play together for a long time, just going to North Dakota, and then, obviously, hoping to play on the Flames together as well.
Were going to have a long relationship and hopefully a long career together as well.
Reschny also had high praise for Carels.
Very, very, extremely good player but hes even better off the ice, Reschny said.
Hes so easy to talk to, to get along with.
He understands the game.
He understands what it takes.
Being around a guy like that is huge.
You push each other.
Any time you get a chance to add a guy like that to your team, its great.
Hes going to be huge for us.
Hes going to play a lot of minutes this year.
Just having him come in, alongside (Keaton) Verhoeff, theyre going to be two young D-men, but theyre going to be very big and play a lot of minutes for us.
It will be big and its exciting.
Weve got a good team this year and I think we can go for it.
Reschny said he watched the NHL Draft a couple of weeks ago and saw Carels go No.
6 and Verhoeff go No.
9 to the San Jose Sharks.
Its exciting, Reschny said.
You obviously have buddies in the draft.
I lived with Verhoeff all year and played with him the last few years.
Its exciting to see guys like that.
I know Cars, too.
Its great.
You play with guys like that at World Juniors, big tournaments like that.
To see him come this way was very exciting.
a D-man like that, of his caliber, its very exciting.
This is a group thats coming up.
Their next stop is Grand Forks.
Players will begin gathering this week to go through voluntary offseason workouts together.
Carels said there were a few reasons why he chose to spend this season at UND.
One thing that stands out is how close it is to home, said Carels, who grew up on a Manitoba farm.
Its only two-and-a-half hours away and thats awesome.
I havent really played that close to home in a long time.
Getting family down there would be awesome.
But I think its more about the people and the organization as well.
When I went down there, it felt like home.
It felt like it did in Prince George.
Its going to be a second home.
Thats what jumped out to me.
Armstrong, Strinden celebrate grand opening of Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora MEDORA, N.D.
Gov.
Kelly Armstrong and Lt.
Gov.
Michelle Strinden today celebrated the grand opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora with local, state and federal officials, praising the new facility for bringing Roosevelts impactful legacy to life for current and future generations of Americans.
Armstrong quoted the Independence Day remarks delivered by a 27-year-old Roosevelt in 1886 in the governors hometown of Dickinson, in which Roosevelt expressed his affinity for big prairies, big forests and mountains, big wheat fields, railroads, and herds of cattle, too, among other things.
Roosevelt said, we must keep steadily in mind that no people were ever yet benefited by riches if their prosperity corrupted their virtue.
The values T.R.
carried away from these Badlands hard work, conservation, and active citizenship these are not historical artifacts.
They are North Dakota values, Armstrong said.
And they are exactly the values this library will showcase to the world.
The 96,000-square-foot library will be open year-round, with interactive exhibits offering an immersive experience for citizens young and old, from North Dakota and beyond.
If this was just a library built in remembrance of our 26th president, that would be enough.
But it is so much more than that, Armstrong said.
With this grand opening today, we honor the spirit of one of the most consequential figures in the 250-year history as the greatest country in the history of the world.
The spirit of resilience, honesty, bravery.
The spirit of big dreams and big ideas, and the perseverance to do the hard work required to turn them into reality.
Roosevelt sought solace and healing in Medora after his wife and mother died on the same day in February 1884, writing in his journal, The light has gone out of my life.
He established the Elkhorn Ranch now often referred to as the cradle of conservation and would later say that he would not have become president if not for his experience in North Dakota.
Now, people from all over the world can come to this exact place, stand where T.R.
stood, and feel not just understand, but feel how it changed him, Armstrong said.
Thats what this library makes possible.
And North Dakota is genuinely proud to offer it to the world.
