Great news for UND Hockey:
Bock Boeser took college hockey by storm as a freshman, tallying 60 points and leading North Dakota to an NCAA national championship.
He says he wants to do it again.
Boeser announced Monday afternoon that he was returning to UND for his sophomore season rather than signing with the Vancouver Canucks, who drafted Boeser in the first round last summer.
“I am looking forward to coming back to UND for my Soph season to defend our NCAA National Championship!” he wrote on Twitter.
Boeser’s return immediately gives UND one of the most dynamic players in the country.
His 60-point freshman season matched the production that Matt Frattin had during his Hobey Baker Award finalist campaign and was just one point shy of the total that Zach Parise tallied as a rookie in 2002-03.
Boeser was at his best in the NCAA Frozen Four, tallying six points in two games. He had four points in UND’s 5-1 win over Quinnipiac in the national championship game and was named to the all-tournament team.
A number of other UND players still have decisions to make on their futures, including Paul LaDue, Nick Schmaltz, Troy Stecher, Luke Johnson, Tucker Poolman, Gage Ausmus, Keaton Thompson and Cam Johnson.
UND only loses four seniors from this year’s team -- Drake Caggiula, Bryn Chyzyk, Colten St. Clair and Coltyn Sanderson.
