I looks like the early departures have finished, and the roster is being finalized. Moving forward, the University of North Dakota has picked their leadership group for the 2017-18 season. I think you’ll like the selections.

According to a release from the school, UND head coach Brad Berry announced on Tuesday morning that senior-to-be Austin Poganski has been selected as team captain of the men’s hockey program for the 2017-18 season. Additionally, forwards Rhett Gardner, Trevor Olson and Johnny Simonson have been named assistant captains. (UNDSports.com)
