The Razorback Hockey team is excited to announce that C-Ethan Moder will be attending the University of Arkansas this fall. Moder, a 5’8”, 160lbs. center comes to Arkansas from the Affton Americans 18U program and Eureka High School.

Moder, a native of St. Louis, MO, was a key player for the 2021 Founder’s Cup Champions Eureka HS. Moder was the 2^nd-leading scorer with 5 goals and 10 assists in 14 games in his senior season. Moder played for many years in the Affton Americans youth hockey program. The Razorbacks have a long history of recruiting from the organization, with current Razorbacks Cameron McAtee and Kyle Crews being alums of the program. Along with the 2021 Founder’s Cup Championship, Moder was also a member of the 2019 championship Eureka team.

Moder most tries to resemble Patrice Bergeron’s 2-way style of contributing on both ends of the ice. Moder plans to major in Business Administration at Arkansas. When asked why he chose Arkansas he said, “I loved the campus and the town.”

The Razorback Hockey team is excited to announce that G-Noah Goodwin will be attending the University of Arkansas this fall. Goodwin, a 5’8”, 200lbs. goalie comes to Arkansas from the Oklahoma City Oil Kings U18 program.

Goodwin, a native of Oklahoma City, OK, helped backstop the 18U Oil Kings to a 3^rd place finish at the 2021 USAHockey 18U AA National Championships. In 2019, he was selected to the All-Star team at the TCHC Recruitment Camp. Goodwin began playing hockey when his Canadian-born father got him on the ice at a young age. When asked who he believes he most resembles, Goodwin chose Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros because he makes up for his size with lateral speed and great puck tracking. His favorite hockey memory is stopping all three Dallas Penguins shooters in a shootout to win a tournament championship.

Goodwin plans to major in Business Administration and continue on to get his MBA. When asked why he chose Arkansas he said, “The hockey was very appealing, and I was instantly drawn to the campus. The small-town feel with all the advantages of the many programs offered was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a school that had a hometown feel while allowing me to spread my wings and experience new things. The University of Arkansas offers all the things I was looking for.”

The #25 DI Razorbacks (10-10-1) head to Oklahoma City this weekend for a rematch with the #5 University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos.  Game times are 7:30 pm on Friday and Saturday nights at the Arctic Edge Ice Arena.  Both games will be broadcast live on FastHockey.com (PPV).

The Bronchos and Razorbacks last met on October 9 & 10 of this year when UCO visited Springdale.  The Bronchos swept the series by 4-1 (ENG) and 4-2 (ENG) scores.  UCO enters the weekend riding a seven game winning streak–a streak that most recently includes a pair of wins over #8 Colorado in Colorado.

Arkansas comes into the weekend after splitting a pair of games against Midland University–again in dramatic fashion.  Last Friday, the Razorbacks earned a come-from-behind overtime victory over the Warriors despite trailing for much of regulation.  The result changed on Saturday when the teams traded goals during regulation until the third period when the Warriors notched the game winner en route to a 3-2 win.  Last weekend’s split dropped the team two spots in the national ranking–to #25 overall.

Meanwhile, the #5 DIII Hogs (17-1-1) return home for a pair of games against Division III Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.  The two teams have not met since January 11 & 12, 2013 when the Hogs collected dominant 16-1 & 17-1 wins.  Southern Illinois has not played since October 16 & 17 when they were blown out 13-2 and 13-1 at the hands of Missouri State.

The DIII Razorbacks picked up a pair of wins last weekend, defeating Augustana by 6-3 and 6-2 scores.  Puck drop this weekend is 8:30 pm on Friday night and 4:00 pm on Saturday afternoon.  Friday night is Cancer Awareness Night.
