EAST GRAND FORKS, Minn. There are certain things that are still vivid in Bob Peabody’s mind even today, 75 years after his bout with polio.
Senior tallies UND’s first five-point game since 2014
GRAND FORKS, N.D. –-(UND Athletics) It didn’t take long Friday night for Miami University hockey coach Chris Bergeron to know his Redhawks were in trouble.
University of North Dakota senior center
Collin Adams finished a 2-on-1 break with linemate
Jordan Kawaguchi just 14 seconds into the game with his backhand goal to ignite the fire in UND’s 6-2 victory over Miami in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference playoff quarterfinals at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
The early goal by Adams, the fastest by UND this season, triggered a flurry of three goals in the opening five minutes, 36 seconds as league champion North Dakota (19-5-1) eliminated last-place Miami (5-18-2) and advanced the Fighting Hawks into the semifinals on Monday. Adams finished with his first career 5-point game (2 goals, 3 assists) and the first by a UND player since Mark MacMillan had 5 points on Oct. 18, 2014 at Colorado College.
In the decade from 2000 to 2010, North Dakota cracked the code in the Bakken, setting the stage for the United States to become the worldâs top oil producer. We put the right legal, tax and regulatory environment in place, commissioned the North Dakota Geological Survey to collect data on the Bakken reserves and set up the North Dakota Oil and Gas Research Fund to help advance the technology. Then, the entrepreneurship of our private sector made it happen by developing and refining horizontal drilling and other innovations. The results have been incredible.Â
Now, with multiple extreme weather events demonstrating the need for a reliable electric grid, we need to do the same for our coal-fired electric industry and crack the code on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). Hereâs the good news â we didnât just start on this herculean effort in North Dakota, rather, weâve been at it for more than a decade.Â
