Notes: Sam Warning, who signed with the Gophers last month, helped Cedar Rapids set a team record for victories (42) and tie its record for points (90). The RoughRiders won the Anderson Cup, which goes to the USHL team with the most points during the regular season.

Travis Boyd helped the U.S. national team win the IIHF under-18 world championships in Germany last month. He had two goals ans four assists in six games. The U.S. beat Sweden 4-3 in overtime on April 24 in the title game. 

Adam Wilcox is the only Gophers' recruit whose team is still playing in the USHL playoffs. Wilcox is the backup goalie for Green Bay which faces Dubuque for the Clark Cup. Wilcox has not played in any of the Gamblers' playoff games so far.  It appears Wilcox will play another season in the USHL and the Gophers will bring in Mike Shibrowksi who committed to the U of M last month.

Chris Rial of Kenai River, the Gophers' lone NAHL recruit, is from Las Vegas, Nevada.
