UND defenseman Tanner Komzak, a sophomore, has entered the NCAA transfer portal after playing two seasons for the team. He appeared in four games as a freshman and 17 games as a sophomore, primarily serving as the seventh defender. With limited playing time expected next season due to the return of six top defensemen and the addition of new talent like Sam Laurila and Garrett Lindberg, Komzak's decision to transfer was likely influenced by these roster changes.
Komzak, a 6-foot-4 right-shot defender from West Kelowna, B.C., came to UND after a successful final season in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. His departure marks the fourth UND player entering the transfer portal this offseason, with forwards Sacha Boisvert, Owen McLaughlin, and Jayden Perron also making commitments to other programs. In contrast, UND has brought in new players like Anthony Menghini and Gibson Homer from the transfer portal to bolster the team's lineup for the upcoming season.
