I have never been more excited for it to be Friday. Not that writing these newsletters doesn’t give me a break from the chaos that is being a student journalist. I just really enjoy being able to sleep in.

But before you go off and enjoy your weekend, take a scroll at these we have for you.

Stay golden,

Jamie Nelson’s ready to reunite on the ice with Minnesota State University Mankato

Five years in one program builds familiarity that is hard to shake. Through 124 games with Minnesota State University, Mankato, graduate forward Jamie Nelson had 103 points, third all-time in program history. Her name is all over the history books. She was also the program’s first-ever WCHA Rookie of the Year.

Nelson meant a lot to the Mavericks, and the program shaped her just as much. When she entered the transfer portal last spring and ended up with the Gophers, another conference team, she knew the season would inevitably bring a reunion.

“When I went in the portal, I knew this game would happen,” Nelson said. “Technically, I’ve been thinking about it since April. The anticipation has been a long time coming.”
