The University of North Dakota men’s hockey season is still a couple of months away, but two players are already making an impact in the Fargo-Moorhead community.

Defenseman EJ Emery and incoming goalie Alex Scheiwiller recently spent time with young patients at Sanford’s main campus hospital, signing autographs, coloring pictures and having fun with kids in Cully’s Kids Cabin. The activity space was created through the foundation of Moorhead hockey legend Matt Cullen.

Both players said the opportunity to brighten the kids’ days was especially meaningful. Emery was drafted 30th overall by the New York Rangers in 2024 and is currently considered one of the organization’s top prospects. Scheiwiller joins UND this season after an outstanding year in the Alberta Junior Hockey League, where he was named Goaltender of the Year and playoff MVP.
