Gophers freshman goalie Brennan Boynton, a third-stringer who did not see game action in 2021-22 while dealing with injuries and illness, has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. The former Champlin Park standout played two seasons for Fargo of the USHL before joining the Gophers.

Boynton's exit leaves the Gophers with two goalies on their roster: starter Justen Close, who'll have two years of eligibility remaining, and Owen Bartoszkiewicz, a freshman in 2021-22.
