Plante

Forwards Max Plante and Jayson Shaugabay and 6-foot-5, 207-pound defenseman Adam Kleber, signature players in Minnesota Duluth's 2024-25 incoming freshmen class, will play for Team USA in the 2024 World Junior Summer Showcase. The four-team event – also featuring players from Canada, Sweden and Finland – will be held from July 26 to August 3 in Plymouth, MI. (USA roster, game schedule).

Plante (Hermantown, U.S. National U-18/USHL) and Kleber (Chaska, Lincoln/USHL) are 2024 NHL Draft eligible, and Shaugabay (Warroad, Green Bay/USHL) was a 2023 fourth-round selection by Tampa Bay.

Howie: Hughes trade, DECC to host World Junior Championship exhibitions

This is a bet that Hughes ages cleanly, that his body cooperates, that the cap continues to rise, and that the surrounding cast can be managed without suffocation. It’s a bet that Minnesota can finally pull off the superstar contract that doesn’t end in regret.

There’s something quietly magnetic about Jason Watt on a Bulldogs hockey broadcast. He’s not trying to sound like anyone else. He doesn’t force energy or jargon. He just explains the game — clearly, comfortably, and with the kind of authenticity that comes only from having lived it.

Howie: Monsters to move to Amsoil

Duluth has always supported teams that show up honestly and invest consistently. The formula hasn’t changed. Don’t overpromise. Don’t disappear when things get hard. Build something people can recognize as theirs. When that happens, this city responds — not with blind loyalty, but with earned trust.
