The University of Minnesota Duluth announced the 2013-14 team roster yesterday. Some changes were made to existing players and incoming freshman were issued their sweater numbers during their hockey careers at UMD.
It was a big day for the University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs family. Two future Bulldogs were selected in this year's NHL draft, giving the Bulldogs a grand total of six NHL prospects for this year's season.
Incoming freshman Carson Soucy was the first commit to be drafted, going to the Minnesota Wild in the 5th round. Soucy, the 137th pick overall, will join the Bulldogs this upcoming season.
Future Bulldog Blake Heinrich, picked 144th overall in the 5th round, was selected by the Washington Capitals. The Sioux City Musketeer (USHL) will mostly likely join the Bulldogs for the 2014-15 season.
These two recruits will join Joe Basaraba (Florida), Caleb Herbert (Washington), Tony Cameranesi (Toronto) and Andy Welinski (Anaheim) as Bulldogs whom have been drafted by NHL teams.
Pictured below is both of these two recruits. Congratulations to them both on their career accomplishments. We at Bulldog Country look forward to watching their talent grow in Pup sweater!

Happy Draft Day!
For today's draft, which starts in a matter of minutes, actually, I'll give you a few links in which you'll be able to follow along if you'd like.
First off, the draft can be viewed on NBC Sports Network and TSN. Although I believe to view those channels one must have either cable or satellite tv, it is an option none the less.
Follow Western College Hockey's live blog for great quotes and coverage here.
I'll be tweeting the action here, while Western College Hockey will tweet it here!
Questions or comments? Feel free to ask!
The University of Minnesota Duluth lands Hill-Murray freshman, Joey Anderson, for the 2017 season.
Although Joey Anderson has yet to skate with Hill-Murray as a high-schooler, the future freshman recently tweeted that he is committed to skate wearing a Bulldog sweater in the future.
I am excited to announce I have committed to play my college hockey for the University of Minnesota Duluth #Bulldogs #dreamschool

Bare with me here folks...
I'm in the middle of transitioning the blog to a website. Although I am still going to keep the blog as a portion of the page, I thought a new face of Bulldog Country could be a fun summer project for myself, as I enjoy web design as a past time.
Feel free to comment ideas on what you'd like to see, or any other questions that pop up. Until then, I'll be posting (hopefully) weekly from here on out, at least for a few weeks until I can find more time.
Thanks for the patience :)
I took some time to figure out where UMD has been getting their commitments from over the last 10 years and put my results into a couple different tables to get a better look. The first table simply looks at the amount of players each junior league has given UMD. The USHL, to no surprise, leads the way in this category.
I found some interesting facts when going through this as well, for example, did you know that UMD received goalie recuits Matt McNeely, Alex Stalock and Brady Hjelle from Cedar Rapids? Our faith in the Rough Rider's goalie coach must be pretty high, aye?
Listed below are the players that are either committed to attend NCAA universities or uncommitted prospects that have potential to become recruited. The list descends from each individual's final ranking from NHL's Draft Prospect Rankings.
