02/23/26: A native of Warroad, MN, Dave Christian entered UND in the fall of 1977and was one of the most accomplished hockey players from UND. He left UND to play for the 1980 gold medal U.S. Olympic Hockey team as a defenseman. After the Olympics, Christian signed with the Winnipeg Jets and set an NHL record for a rookie scoring only seven seconds into his first NHL game. Dave's family has a strong history in U.S. Hockey, and just watched his nephew, Brock Nelson, play in the Italy Olympics, adding a third generation to the family's Olympic gold medal collection. Brock ended up with a huge role to play in this tournament, helping key a penalty kill while contributing two goals and an assist across six games.
