## Resource

NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING HAWKSIan Engel didn’t take the straight path — he built it. Grinding through the NAHL with the Bismarck Bobcats, earning every shift, every opportunity… and finishing it the right way as a Robertson Cup Champion.Originally committed to Division III — a path many would’ve accepted — but he didn’t settle. He stayed patient. Stayed committed. Believed in something bigger.That belief turned into an opportunity at the University of North Dakota — one of the top programs in college hockey.This is what it looks like when you trust the process. No shortcuts. No guarantees. Just work, resilience, and self-belief.Your path isn’t always clear — but if you stay with it… it shows up.
