Four North Dakota hockey players accused of supplying alcohol to minors at a team party last September have changed their pleas to guilty.

Danny Kristo, Andrew MacWilliam, Carter Rowney and Joe Gleason reached plea agreements last week and were given deferred sentences.

Charges were dropped against a fifth player, Corban Knight, who is a candidate for the Hobey Baker award. MacWilliam, Kristo, Rowney and Knight are captains and were suspended for the first game of the season.
