Bemidji State men’s hockey fifth-year Kyle Looft exercised his option to play a fifth collegiate season and will captain the Beavers in 2023-24.

‘HE’S THE SHERIFF’

Forever tied to Beaver hockey, Kyle Looft’s decision to stay is rooted in his love for Bemidji By Jared Rubado The Bemidji Pioneer A year ago, Kyle Looft put his gear on for what he thought was his final Bemidji State men’s hockey season opener. Hosting Arizona State at the Sanford Center, Looft blocked seven shots in a 3-0 loss. The Beavers turned around the following night to earn a 5-4 overtime win, the first with Looft as their team captain. He finished the

2022-23 season with a career-high five goals, three being gamewinners. However, after a gutting first-round sweep against Northern Michigan in the CCHA Tournament, Bemidji State’s commander stood at a fork in the road. “When you’re making life decisions, you go to your family, friends, anybody who’s been there to support you,” Looft said about

considering returning for a fifth season. “You always have to weigh those options. But you know the people that you trust are going to give you good advice. … In my heart, I felt like coming back was a really good option. Everyone that I talked to felt that it was best for me, too.” Because Looft started his collegiate career in 2019, he had the option to exercise a fifth year,

which was granted by the NCAA to athletes during the COVID19 pandemic. He was voted a captain for his senior season and was a no-brainer choice to lead again for his fifth and final year. Looft is the sixth twoyear captain since BSU jumped to Division I in 1999. He’s an athlete who prides himself on leading by example on the ice, in the classroom and in the community.

“He’s the man around here. He’s the sheriff,” sophomore Lleyton Roed said. “He’s back for his fifth year, and he’s a great leader. You know what you’re going to get from him on the ice and off the ice. He’s just a great resource for everybody else.”

Decision time

Looft admitted there were multiple stretches where he thought 202223 would be his last

run for the Beavers. But as the season progressed, culminating in a disappointing finish, he felt like there were no other options except returning for a fifth year. Following his collegiate career, Looft has a desire to play professionally. But when those opportunities were limited after last winter, fate brought him back

to Bemidji. “Once we lost in Northern Michigan, (BSU head coach) Tom (Serratore) had a conversation with me about what my future held,” Looft said. “Ultimately, he asked if I wanted to come back. He said I could take my time with it to think it through. I didn’t need a lot of time. Like I said, I knew in my heart that I was coming back.” Looft informed the coaching staff and his teammates that he was sticking around. It was a casual sigh of relief for junior goaltender Mattias Sholl, who is now one of Looft’s roommates. “He’s been great,” Sholl said of Looft. “It’s not even just for that goalie relationship with the defenseman. He’s been great for the whole team. He’s a great communicator and a great leader. … He has us in check. It’s our third year together on this team. We live together. You want your D to have your back. He has mine, and I have his.” Not all seniors are given the opportunity to return. The extra years granted to players force each coaching staff to crunch numbers. Looft and Jones are the only fifth-year players for BSU this season. Serratore waits until the season is over to start having those conversations, saying it’s “bad karma” to discuss the future before it’s needed. “With those guys who have an extra year of eligibility, you have to have immediate meetings with them to find out where they’re at,” Serratore said. “You want to get under the hood a little bit. Is there an interest in coming back? Do they want to go out into the real world? Do they want to go pro? There are so many things that play into it, but you also need to look at your own roster and figure out how many spots you have.” In 137 games played over his first four seasons, Looft has amassed nine goals and 16 assists. He’s a power-play staple and

While his point totals won’t jump off the page, Looft is a model of consistency that Bemidji State needs. For a team that’s fizzled down the stretch in each of the last two regular seasons, he hopes he can set a level tone in his final campaign. “You have to find that consistency the whole year and figure out how to win games,” Looft said. “As returners, that’s something that’s going to be in the back of our heads. It starts right now. That consistency comes through off-ice training, in practice, in the locker room. Everything that converts to winning games is something that you have to find consistency in every day.”

has taken him around the Midwest, and the transfer portal opened doors to add another destination to his resume. But while other players surveyed around to find new teams, there was only one place where Looft felt at home. “My heart is in Bemidji,” Looft said. “I couldn’t even imagine playing anywhere else. If I was coming back (to play college hockey), it was always going to be here. …

Once I committed here, that was never going to change. I love my teammates, and I love playing for this team. I trust the coaching staff to develop me as a player and as a leader. … Not once did it cross my mind to play anywhere else. Not even for a second.” As Looft heads into his last dance, he’s finding more ways to be the leader his team voted him to be before the season. His approach is rooted in his confidence

in doing the captainlike duties for a second time. Hosting preseason practices, helping younger players find their footing and being the face of a Division I program adds weight on his shoulders that he’s equipped to carry. But Looft is the Beavers’ stoic force, and he does it with his heart on his sleeve. “This community means everything to me,” Looft said. “It’s been so cool to me to build relationships in

the community and see the support that we have. … Knowing that when you’re done playing here, you’ll still have the camaraderie with all of the alumni, the fans and having the pride and security of being a Beaver hockey player, it’s just really cool to me. It’s a special place to play hockey.” Jared Rubado is the sports editor at the Pioneer. Readers can reach him at (218) 316-2613 or jrubado@ bemidjipioneer.com. Follow him on Twitter @JaredRubadoBP

Home is where the heart is

There’s an added layer to Looft’s decision to come back. The Mankato West High School graduate played two seasons for the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders in the USHL prior to playing for BSU. He also played 12 games for the Austin Bruins in the NAHL. Looft’s hockey career

The Beavers congratulate Jackson Jutting (27) after he scored to put Bemidji State up 2-1 during the second period against St. Thomas on Dec. 2, 2022, at the Sanford Center.

‘CHOMPING AT THE BIT’ Leaning on its foundation, BSU aims to make noise in wide-open CCHA

By Jared Rubado The Bemidji Pioneer BEMIDJI – Mattias Sholl learned that nothing is promised in college hockey. He backstopped the Beavers to a runnerup finish in the CCHA Tournament during his freshman season in 2021-22. A year later, BSU was bounced in two games after a firstround defeat against Northern Michigan. “We were chomping

at the bit to get back here after last season,” Sholl said before he kicked off his junior goalie campaign. “We feel really good. We lost a lot of guys, but that’s how it is. Guys move on, and we have a lot of freshmen that came in. There are expectations for them to step up and help out any way they can. It’s all hands on deck. We all have to be in this together.” Bemidji State’s

departures from its 2022-23 team are significant. Iron-man defensemen Elias Rosén and Will Zmolek left a pair of big holes on the back end. They both now play professionally – Rosén in the Swedish Hockey League with the Växjö Lakers and Zmolek in the AHL with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Ross Armour led the team in goals before signing with the

Savannah Ghost Pirates of the ECHL. Other departures like Mitchell Martan and Kaden Pickering added to the Beavers’ offensive void. BSU head coach Tom Serratore also stood pat in the transfer portal. No players fished offers from other programs, nor did Bemidji State bring in existing college-level talent. So, where do the Beavers stand? While BSU didn’t

receive a first-place vote from any CCHA coach or media member, one preseason consensus is that the league is up for grabs. As Bemidji State heads into its only preseason exhibition against Minnesota at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 8, players and coaches alike feel like they have the goods to get over the hump.

Roed’s sequel

One of the bigger

surprises for the Beavers last season was the emergence of Lleyton Roed. The freshman forward from White Bear Lake had a teamhigh 31 points in 36 games during his first collegiate season. His efforts earned him a bevy of CCHA honors, including an All-Rookie Team selection. “Lleyton is our guy up front,” Serratore said.

“He’s our go-to guy, and I have no problem saying that. We don’t have a crystal ball. None of us have one. We can’t sit there and say he’s going to have this type of year or that type of year. We just know he does things the right way. He competes hard and trains hard. He’s your constant, prototypical, high-end hockey player.” Despite nearly a point-per-game season, Roed didn’t receive any preseason CCHA honors. However, now that he has a year under his belt, his confidence has never been higher. “I don’t know if I prepared differently, but I’m definitely more comfortable coming in this year,” Roed said. “I have a lot more confidence. I know the guys on the team, and I know what to expect from (the coaches), too. This is probably the most excited I’ve been for a season in a long time.” As high as Roed’s ceiling is, he can’t play 60 minutes each game. That’s where Serratore hopes he can lean on veterans who are eager to seize bigger roles than they previously occupied. “Carter Jones has good offensive instincts,” Serratore said. “Jonesy probably hasn’t gotten the ice time that he’d like over the course of four years. But he’s getting it now, and we’re going to rely on Jonesy. Eric Martin has a lot of talent. He got injured last year, but we feel he’s ready to break out. I don’t know if there are many guys in our league (who can skate) like Jere Vaisanen. He’s got great agility, and he can bring you out of your seat. Jackson Jutting is all about hard work, and he could be big for us.” Serratore also noted that he expects to see some guys turn the corner as they become upperclassmen. “You need some wild cards,” Serratore continued. “Every team needs them. We’re looking at a guy like Jakub Lewandowski. He scores a lot of goals in practice. He’s got a big-time shot, and we saw that early on in

with that. But if you want to constantly bring in eight, nine, 10 guys every year, that’s a lot of stress in my book.” BSU’s lack of presence in the portal comes from the belief it has the talent in the room to make a run in the CCHA. Even without any transfers, BSU hired two new coaches – Andrew Magera and Brock Kautz – who will bring a younger perspective to the hockey operations. “You have to adapt and have the ability to change,” Serratore said. “You better stay on top of current trends, and it helps to have a young staff. You can’t be the same person 10 years ago, 15 years ago. You have to evolve if you want the players to evolve. “I tell our players Madelyn Haasken / Bemidji Pioneer that we have high Bemidji State’s Carter Jones (9) controls the puck during the first period against Michigan Tech on Feb. 3, expectations of them.

RIGHTING THE SHIP

After a discouraging season, Beavers head into 2023-24 with a ‘fresh-start’ feeling By Jared Rubado The Bemidji Pioneer Make no mistake about it, the Bemidji State women’s hockey team is eager to turn the page after a frustrating 2022-23 season. It was a winter that featured the Beavers finishing with a 5-30-1 record and a last-place finish in the WCHA. Then, in the summer, BSU lost six players to the transfer portal, four of whom committed to other WCHA teams. Bemidji State also lost assistant coach Emma Sobieck to Minnesota Duluth late in the offseason, throwing another preseason hurdle in the way of the Beavers. But as the summer heat fizzles into a chill autumn and a new sheet of ice freezes at the Sanford Center, opportunities for change are aplenty. “We acknowledged how tough last year was, and we moved on from it,” senior captain Taylor Nelson said. “We’re ready to move forward. We’re taking this thing day by day. We are trying to grow and learn. … This is the WCHA, which means every team will have ups and downs. But we have to stick to our core values. … It starts with the little things and going back to the basics.”

‘Freshmen are going to play’

The first step was filling out the roster, one that features 14 forwards, six defensemen and four goalies. Of the Beaver’s 24 rostered players, eight of them are freshmen. Head coach Jim Scanlan plans to rely on his youth for big minutes, especially at defense, where three newcomers – Moorhead’s Olivia Dronen, Minneapolis’ Ana Davis and Woodbury’s Riley Reeves – are going to log a bevy of minutes. “It’s going to be a situation where the freshmen are going to play,” Scanlan said. “They’re going to have their moments and their growing pains. Having (veterans) Khloe (Lund), (Makenna Deering) and Kendra (Fortin) there, all three of them have played a lot of hockey. “The experiences they’ve had are going to help them. We told them about what our situation was, and they’re eager to take on the challenge that’s presented with having a smaller number back there.”

Madelyn Haasken / Bemidji Pioneer

Bemidji State’s Gabbie Smith (20) faces off against Lindenwood’s Sarah Davies (7) during the third period on Sept. 23, 2022, at the Sanford Center. Lund was named an alternate captain for her senior season. Her heart-and-soul persona paired with a more productive 202223 season on the ice when she logged seven points and time on the power play. “Khloe didn’t play a lot in her first couple of years, but she’s always had a tremendous attitude,” Scanlan said. “She’s always been extremely popular in the room with her teammates. Last year, she just got better and better as she started playing consistently. She had a great summer. She stayed here in Bemidji and worked extremely hard, and you can tell. She’s had a great preseason camp.” Scanlan noted that there are no current plans to transition any of the 14 forwards to the blue line. However, if the occasion calls for a player to move back, he will look to Shelby Breiland, a former defenseman in high school who played sparing minutes for the Beavers on the back end. Offensively, the Beavers have more depth, but Scanlan and alternate captain Gabbie Smith noted their excitement for Warroad freshmen Talya Hendrickson and Kate Johnson’s first games. Fresh off of winning a Class A state championship, two of the newest BSU women’s hockey players could make a significant impact early. Hendrickson and Johnson combined for 76 goals and 123 assists in their senior seasons. “With our freshman class that came in this year, we have a lot of speed,” Smith said during WCHA media day on Sept. 12. “We’re young on defense,

but throughout these practices, we look fast. We had a lot of skilled freshmen come in, and hopefully, that will lead to more scoring.” Goal-scoring confidence will be vital for a team that lost its top-four point-getters from a year ago. BSU will have to make up the 15 goals and 19 assists lost to the portal. “These are long seasons, and they can be draining if it’s not going the way you want it to go,” Smith said. “In practice, our coaches have been really good at preaching (the importance) of doing the little things correctly. If we keep doing those little things – driving to the net, making the (right) plays – I think we’re going to (build confidence) in our goal scoring.” Of the Beavers’ 36 games last year, Hannah Hogenson started 30 of them in goal. She posted a .881 save percentage with a 4.05 goalsagainst average. Now, the Scanlan is looking for one of his four goalies to fill those skates and is keeping his options open heading into a season-opening series in Lindenwood, Mo., Sept. 23-24. “We’re inexperienced back there and we’re young on defense, but all four of the goalies are looking good and working hard,” Scanlan said. “Abbie Thompson is the returner with the most minutes and she’s another one that came in after a tremendous offseason. You can just see her leadership skills and the team definitely respects her.” Thompson, a junior, is battling with Minnesota State transfer Emerald Kelley, sophomore Madison Faucher and freshman Eva Filippova from Khanty-Mansiysk,

Russia. “I’m not sure if we’re going to be able to try all four, but the competition is open,” Scanlan said. “We’re going to see how things play out with them. Our freshman goalie, Eva Filippova from Russia, she’s played in Canada for five years. She’s very talented, too. Somebody will emerge, and everybody will get that opportunity throughout the camp.”

Return of two Beavs With the roster filled out, Scanlan turned his attention toward filling a couple of coaching vacancies. He decided to stay local, checking in with one of the best players in the history of the women’s program to gauge her interest in coaching. “When the opening arose, she was the first one I thought of,” Scanland said of Amber Fryklund. “I might’ve caught her a little off guard. We had a great relationship in the six years we worked together, and I was sad to see her go when she did. … When she said she was on board, it turned a tough situation into a positive one. Everything happens for a reason.” Fryklund served as an assistant and an associate head coach

for the Beavers for nine years after becoming the highest-scoring playing career of any Beaver. She left before the 2020-21 season to pursue a career in teaching. Now she’s back with some of the seniors she helped recruit over four years ago, returning as an associate head coach. “Fryklund, I can’t speak (highly enough) of her,” Nelson said. “Whether it’s been her coaching or her (work) as a professor, we’ve loved her since we were freshmen. She actually recruited me, so it’s nice having her back. She’s so intelligent, and she looks for those little details that sometimes are missed. I think our whole coaching staff has meshed really well. It feels like a fresh start.” “She recruited my class, but I never had her as a coach until now,” Smith said. “I’m (studying) elementary education, and she was in the education program here at BSU. I’ve gotten to connect with her in the classroom. Having her on the ice is phenomenal. She makes going to the rink even more fun.” Alexis Joyce also came back to coach the Bemidji State defensemen. She played four seasons for the

Beavers from 2014-18, totaling 81 career points to rank as the program’s second-highest-scoring defenseman. She’s back as an assistant coach, previously serving as a co-director of hockey operations while simultaneously being a firefighter. “With the addition of Alexis Joyce coming on to our staff and watching her work with the group, it’s just been fun to see her with them and give her those little pointers that only a defenseman would know to give,” Scanlan said. If the Beavers turn over a new leaf, it will likely come with a spark from the figures in leadership positions. Nelson added that “it means the world” to her to be voted as a captain. But now she’s focused on turning her appreciation into action. “With us having to go through all of that adversity and learning what that feels like, I think we’re coming into this season with a new perspective,” Nelson continued. “When we go through those ups and downs, when we have to address things, we will address them right away with our leadership. Our leadership is going to be really good. It has to be, and it has been so far from the feedback we’ve received.” Scanlan’s admiration for his captains and assistant coaches was matched by his honesty about the 2022-23 season, saying he takes full responsibility for a burdensome run. “It was an awful year, and that’s on me,” Scanlan said. “We just have to be better. That’s on me. We’re going to take this thing one game at a time. The Beavs are going to show up every night and do their best to get a win. How we measure that is something we will know in the future. But the Beavs are going to show up to play every single night.” Jared Rubado is the sports editor at the Pioneer.
