GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- No. 6 North Dakota will take a rare break off from regular season action for an exhibition contest with the U.S. Under-18 Team on Friday night at 7:07 p.m. from Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks, N.D. 

All UND men's hockey games, home and away, can be heard on stations across the Fighting Hawks Radio Network, as well as through the iHeart Radio app, with longtime broadcaster Tim Hennessy, who is in his 46th year on the mic for UND hockey, and Mike LaMoine calling the action. Friday's game can be heard on 96.1 (The Fox), the flagship station of North Dakota hockey.  

Friday's game can be seen on Midco Sports with Alex Heinert and Jim Scanlan calling the action. Taylor Budge and Dean Barsness join the crew as the pregame, intermission and postgame hosts. Fans will also be able to stream the contest on NCHC.tv, with a subscription.

Friday will be the 14th all-time meeting between North Dakota and the USNTDP, with UND leading the series 11-2-0.

Friday is believed to be the program's first exhibition game played in the month of November.
