Veteran UND forward with size, grit, and a blue-collar edge
In the 2012-13 season, Dan Stockdale was a low-usage North Dakota forward who averaged 0.6 points and 0.6 rebounds per game, but his value was less about box-score pop and more about a 6-8 frame, toughness, and dependable team-first minutes. UND’s own notes show he was a fifth-year senior with 22 career games and no starts, part of the program’s foundational Division I group. That profile screams role player: physical, selfless, and experienced, with a bent for steady locker-room value rather than headline stats. If you need polish and energy, not shot creation, he fits.
