Schaack will recruit student-athletes during the 2021-22 academic year and the team will compete during the 2022-23 academic year.
UJ plans to compete as a member of ACHA Division 1.

“I am incredibly honored and humbled to be named the first head coach of the University of Jamestown Jimmies women’s hockey program,” said Schaack. “I am looking forward to cultivating a competitive program that will build upon the successful tradition of UJ Athletics. I am excited to be back in my hometown and to have the opportunity to bring more competitive hockey to both Jamestown and the state of North Dakota.”
Schaack was an all-state performer at Jamestown high school scoring 132 goals, assisting on 43 more for 175 career points in her four seasons. During those four years the Blue Jays improved from seven wins to nine, then 13 and 18.
As a senior she was a first team all-state selection and named Miss North Dakota Hockey after accumulating 52 points and leading the Blue Jays to a best ever fourth place finish at the 2013 state tournament. During her junior year, the Blue Jays placed fifth at the state tournament.
While at Concordia she scored 27 career goals with 28 assists for 55 career points from 2013-17. She helped lead the Cobbers to a top-four finish in the MIAC league standings every season including a third place finish in 2015 and 2017, tied for the second best league finish in school history.

In world and national news…
(AP) President Joe Biden’s efforts to persuade Israel to halt its military strikes in Gaza have plunged the U.S. president and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into a difficult early test of their long relationship. The two have had other moments of tension over the years, especially when Biden was Barack Obama’s vice president. And their current differences over the war in Gaza create a challenge that Biden was trying mightily to avoid. Early in Biden’s term, foreign policy has taken a back seat. And he had hoped to avoid getting bogged down in an interminable effort to establish a lasting Mideast peace that has proven elusive for leader after leader.
NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) — President Joe Biden has delivered his first commencement address as commander-in-chief, praising new graduates at the Coast Guard Academy for excelling during the pandemic. He also stressed their vital role as the United States reasserts itself on the world stage. But Biden’s remarks in New London, Connecticut on Wednesday made no mention of several current global hotspots, including the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Hours earlier, Biden had issued a call for a cease-fire in the Mideast.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Top Republicans in Congress are working to stop the formation of an independent commission into the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Republican leaders are aligning themselves with former President Donald Trump ahead of a Wednesday House vote on the plan. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday morning that he will oppose the legislation to create the panel. House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy came out against the commission on Tuesday. Both men claimed the bill was partisan, even though membership of the proposed commission would be evenly split between the parties.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Conflict over the new federal health guidance for mask-wearing has reached the halls of Congress. Republicans are rebelling against the requirement that they wear a mask on the House floor. And that’s stoking tensions with majority Democrats who are still requiring masks despite updated guidance from federal health officials. The GOP lawmakers opted to keep their mask off during votes Tuesday. Some took particular care to stand in the well of the House to ensure that spectators and colleagues could see them. Seven Republican lawmakers will be getting a warning, according to a list obtained by The Associated Press. Three will be fined $500.
(AP) The operator of the nation’s largest fuel pipeline has confirmed it paid $4.4 million to a gang of hackers who broke into its computer systems. That’s according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. Colonial Pipeline’s CEO Joseph Blount told the Journal that he authorized the payment after the ransomware attack because the company didn’t know the extent of the damage. The FBI discourages making payments to ransomware attackers, because that just encourages criminal networks around the globe. But many victims of ransomware attacks opt to pay.
(AP) The Federal Trade Commission and six states are suing Frontier Communications for not delivering the internet speeds it promised customers and charging them for better, more expensive service than they actually got. In its complaint, filed Wednesday in federal court in California, the FTC said thousands of Frontier customers have complained that the company was not delivering promised speeds. Customers said they couldn’t use the internet service for the online activities they should have been able to. Frontier says the lawsuit is without merit and it will defend itself.
