Four teams still have a shot at the NCAA Division One Men's Hockey Title, including the tournament's lowest seed...

and on Bemidji State's roster is a player from the Peace Garden State.



Freshman Defenseman Tyler Jundt is a native of North Dakota...growing up in Williston.

Prior to joining the Beavers, he played with the North Iowa Outlaws in the NAHL, and also saw action in the USHL.

Jundt skated in 19 games for BSU and can't wait to lace 'em up next week in Washington D.C.



"(Tyler Jundt:) It is a big deal. Bemidji is a small town and that is what makes it even better because in a small town like this, people know you and they know who you are and they know you by name and that is what makes it great, because people come up to you all the time and say 'we are pulling for you' and even people that aren't from Bemidji, maybe even people who are Sioux fans, who say 'we are rooting for Bemidji, we want Bemidji to pull it out. "




The Beavers will battle Miami of Ohio in the semifinals of the 'Frozen Four' this coming Thursday.
