now that you mention it, I believe I did see a tweet about that during the season. I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Mann takes this opportunity as well. But I do believe he loved being a part of the team and the residency program.

Not sure if posted already. NCAA Regional Attendance Sioux Falls had a total attendance of 11,804 for the three games with 6,113 fans attending the regional final between Minnesota and Boston University on March 30. According to attendance numbers reported by the four 2024 regional hosting sites, Providence, Rhode Island had an attendance of 12,823 for its two sessions, while Springfield, Massachusetts had a total attendance of 9,659 and Maryland Heights, Missouri had an average attendance of 3,148. In 2018, when Sioux Falls hosted three Minnesota teams (St. Cloud State, Minnesota-Mankato and Minnesota-Duluth), the combined attendance was 16,007, more than the other three hosting cities. Sioux Falls will host another college hockey regional in 2026. Source: Keloland

Link to the Herald Story: Sanford Health to provide UND athletes with physician services - Grand Forks Herald | Grand Forks, East Grand Forks news, weather & sports Starts July 1. It appears that UND athletics is moving away from Altru as team physicians and official healthcare. Increased coverage in the Grand Forks metro and merging of Valley Bone and Joint has definitely made them a better option then whey they bid before the last 10 year (I believe?) contract with Altru who donated $10 million to the Indoor Performance Center at the time. Will be interesting to see what else comes with this, as I know in Fargo, Bemidji, Vermillion they end up having their name they have athletics facilities named after them and may bring in additional funding for these projects we have in motion. I haven't followed along recently but I assume the Family Medicine Residency in Grand Forks is still connected to Altru? I know Dr. Mann (Football) and Dr. Greek (Hockey) are part of the Altru FMR program. Will they change to Sanford or will UND transition from their long-time team providers?

4-2 BU

I also think that the Fargo game if it wasn't a overtime winning goal it woud've stood. Shouldn't matter which part of the game but it seems to. Also I am surprised the NCAA doesn't put temporary cameras along the bluelines.

BU and a offsides goal review. Center ice cam looks like he is still contacting, far end camera the skate blade cant be seen and you see white under the black of the skate boot.

I wish the score bug had SOGs.

They are keeping him in the game, on the PK, in 2OT. Looks to be moving okay.

Not sure how they didn't put that in. Denver goalie is being evaluated for injury.

NHL Hitz Golden Puck

Both Sioux Falls and Springfield have hockey all season, Did Sioux Falls take their ice out with the consecutive wrestling, summit league, and high school basketball? I know other events they just cover it. The issue that I have heard was more related to the NCAA makes them remove advertisements, and other logos from the ice by scrapping layers off, then they repaint and add the NCAA and host logo the week of. Be better if they could just let the rinks keep their ice way of and maybe just add a NCAA/Host badge in a few places like how the NHL now does with the Stanley Cup Playoffs logos along the bluelines?

I think the being sent out east argument would really only be valid if we were the #1 seed. UND also declined to be the bidding host school with the Sioux Falls Sports Authority after the last regional they hosted together and decided to focus on their Fargo bids.

Camera feels too zoomed in for the Sioux Falls regional, maybe its just after watching the wider angle from the Denver game, or maybe I am just imagining things.

BU vs RIT is started for those OT intermission viewing pleasures.

I would agree with that. It might be getting echoed wider now because of the reach of UND fans are largest mass in number as well as CHN, GFH, etc posting about the issue with having the largest traveling fanbase that could fill that rink by itself.
