Bemidji Pioneer The Pioneer has been informing northern Minnesota in the First City on the Mississippi since 1896. Welcome to the Bemidji Pioneer page!

We've been informing the community since 1896. Back then, guys like Paul Bunyan chopped down trees to deliver you the news every day (OK, maybe that's a little off.) Now, we're looking to do the same for readers in the digital age. Our aim is for this page to be a hub for breaking news and community interaction for Bemidji, Beltrami County and the rest of North Central Minnesota. We like to talk to readers and welcome discussion, but we have some rules: Don't use profanity, abusive language, racial slurs or personal attacks and stay on topic. In other words: Use common sense and don't troll or else we'll delete your comments. To subscribe, visit https://allaccess.forumcomm.com/allaccess/bemidjipioneer or call the Pioneer at 218-333-9200.

A back-and-forth battle tilted UND’s way when Cole Reschny scored his second goal late in the third period.

10/10/2026

For 55 minutes, the Bemidji State men’s hockey team and North Dakota were destined for an overtime game again for the ninth straight year.

Except Cole Reschny wasn’t.

With four and a half minutes left in regulation, Reschny scored his second goal to give the Fighting Hawks a 3-2 lead. And even after Cody Croal took a late penalty to give the Beavers a 6-on-4 situation with the goalie pulled, North Dakota closed out the final 23.9 seconds to hand BSU its first loss this season.
