Two loves in my life: Fighting Sioux Hockey and Metal.
I'm a '95 graduate of Colorado College. I bleed green and black so my 2nd favorite team after the Sioux is Colorado College.
I also play guitar. I love anything loud with lot's of distortion-Pantera, George Lynch, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Metallica, Megadeth, Disturbed, etc. As my username indicates, I'm a huge fan of the Boston-area band Godsmack. Devil Horns to the Sky!
I remember my only option for catching Sioux games remotely was listening to UND beating Wisconsin in the Badger holiday classic via dial up audio! Circa 1999/2000.
Last year was the first season I could recall where every team in the league was solid, even the last place team ASU. Miami seems to be on the rise and the other bottom half finishers were no pushovers. Cliche for coaches of their respective conferences to talk about how tough their leagues are from top to bottom but the NCHC really demonstrated that last year.
Penn State commit Alexander Karmanov is 7 foot, 1 inch, 280 pounds. Taken by the Sharks in this year’s draft. He’d be the tallest player on the Penn State men’s basketball team.
I was more referring to them accusing UND of buying championships and here every other blue blood breaks out the checkbooks. Although I would be curious how much David Carle has to spend given the success he’s had. Seems like they just load up on quality guys up and down their lineup and don’t seem to garner much media fanfare.
They probably fill the barn for UND, the Gophers, and maybe Duluth but they’re probably struggling to get butts in the seats for non-rivalry games against teams like my CC Tigers, Miami, Western, etc. But very cool you got to go see UND play there and that you had a good experience. The Herb Brooks Center is definitely on my bucket list.
I’ve done a google search and sadly, it wasn’t just Mitch Marner, Mike Commodore, and Mike Modano who’ve suffered the wrath of Babs. Just google Jason Spezza, Chris Chelios, and Johan Franzen involving their experience with Babcock. The Franzen situation was particularly disturbing.
