Happy Sunday,
The holiday season is upon us, yet many Gophers sports are not bringing me cheer. Though take a look at some exceptional athletes that we featured this week, they still are performing well even if box scores aren’t saying so.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving and go Gophers,

Chloe Primerano’s Olympic push
by Samantha Roering | Published November 18, 2025
A typical week for Gophers defender Chloe Primerano includes all of the normal classwork of a college sophomore, plus Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) membership, national team camps and the very real possibility of an Olympic roster spot.
“It’s been pretty busy,” Primerano said. “Obviously it’s so much fun, getting the opportunity to try out for the Olympic team, but also to play here with my college team.”
