North Dakota Hockey Welcomes in St. Cloud State for Top-20 Clash – KVRR Local News
UND, RANKED 16, AND ST. CLOUD STATE, RANKED 9, CLASH AT THE RALPH THIS WEEKEND FOR AN NCHC BATTLE.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (KVRR) –Fresh off a sweep over Miami of Ohio last weekend, North Dakota is looking to bring that momentum into the Ralph Friday against number-9 ranked St. Cloud State.
North Dakota trails the Huskies by just a single point in the NCHC standings coming in and a big emphasis this weekend is special teams. NoDak with a top-5 power play in the country, and St. Cloud State with a top-5 penalty kill. The team says their focus this weekend is on that and getting off to a fast start.
“Obviously our power play has really been clicking,” said recently named NCHC defenseman of the week Abram Wiebe. “It just starts with good puck movement, moving the puck fast and they got a good PK. It’s always, for us, outwork the PK and the PK is outwork the power play. So, it’s going to be a battle going into this weekend. Obviously, just use that last weekend as confidence and then try to win this first 10 minutes against St. Cloud and just kind of go from there.”
North Dakota is ranked number-16 in the most recent USCHO poll,their lowest ranking of the season thus far.
Part of their early season struggles can be attributed to their health. This past weekend, UND was without five players including its captain and two alternates due to injury. Head coach Brad Berry says he expects at least one player back in the lineup this weekend and credits his players for having the next man up mentality.
“Caleb McDonald will be in the lineup,” said Berry. “What I love about our group right now is there are some guys that aren’t wearing a letter, that are older players, that are in leadership roles right now. And I think that’s going to serve us well in the second half.”
This weekend’s series with the Huskies will be the final series of 20-24. North Dakota will next return to the ice January 4 for an exhibition with Manitoba before returning to conference play January 10 and 11 vs. the newest member of the NCHC: Arizona State
Puck drop Friday night with St. Cloud State is slated for 7:07 P.M.
Saturday night’s game two will be at 6:07 P.M.
North Dakota is 4-3-3 vs. the Huskies in their last 10 battles.

The North Dakota Attorney General issued an opinion to the ND State Auditor – North Dakota Attorney General

BISMARCK, ND – It is the opinion that federal law does not prevent the state from auditing P&A and even though P&A possesses confidential records, N.D.C.C. § 54-10-22.1 and 42 C.F.R. § 51.45(c) authorize the state auditor and the employees of the auditor’s office, to review the records without detriment to P &A.
Also, whether Rule 1.6 of the North Dakota Rules of Professional Conduct for licensed attorneys prohibits P&A from disclosing to the State Auditor the contents of a client file for the purpose of conducting a non-financial performance audit under N.D.C.C. ch. 54-10 when the requested file includes information about individuals and businesses in the private sector who chose to contact P &A.
This issue was already addressed in a 1995 opinion of this office regarding P&A. The 1995 opinion highlighted that P&A has authority to contract with private attorneys to represent private individuals. 17 During that performance audit, auditors asked to see billings from the contracted attorneys. 18 P&A redacted the names of the individuals represented by the contract attorneys under the rules for attorney-client privilege or attorney-client confidentiality. 19 The names of individuals seeking services of P&A are protected under N.D.C.C. § 25-01.3. The opinion stated:
Thus, P&A’s records which indicate to whom its services were provided are available to the State Auditor for performance audit purposes. The State Auditor has
been given access by P&A to its records other than the attorney’s billings. Therefore, the State Auditor already has access to the names of the persons to whom P&A
provides services. State law requires that the State Auditor and his employees must keep such information confidential.
Here, P&A has not identified a specific record. Given that, I rely on the past opinions declaring that records made confidential by N.D.C.C. § 25-01.3-10 are available under N.D.C.C. § 54-10-22 to the State Auditor and the Auditor’s employees for audit purposes.

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – A Wisconsin angler may have reeled in a new North Dakota state record yellow perch on Devils Lake.
Alan Hintz of Stevens Point, Wis., caught the fish while fishing with Perch Patrol Guide Service’s Tyler Elshaug. North Dakota Game Warden Jon Peterson weighed the perch at 2.99 pounds and measured it at 16.5 inches at Woodland Resort.
The current state record perch of 2 pounds, 15 ounces was caught by Kyle Smith of Carrington, N.D., also on Devils Lake, on March 28, 1982.
The catch is still considered unofficial. The North Dakota Game and Fish Department requires a four-week waiting period to verify all details before officially recognizing a new state record.
Steve Dahl with Perch Patrol Guide Service confirmed the details to Valley News Live. Dahl said overall perch numbers on Devils Lake are down this year, but anglers are seeing more fish weighing over 2 pounds.
Devils Lake is one of North Dakota’s most popular ice fishing destinations, known for producing trophy-sized perch.
