North Dakota vs. Minnesota in Las Vegas - October 2018

This is nice but to have to wait for UND/MN to resume playing only to have it be in Las Vegas is kind of a bummer, hope at least it will be televised.

They resume the rivalry next season:

The rivalry will resume next season with a two-game series in Mariucci Arena. In 2016-17, they will play a two-game series in Ralph Engelstad Arena. The following year, it will be the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game in Las Vegas.

The teams will play next season (2016-2017) in Minneapolis. They will play in Grand Forks the following season (2017-2018). This Las Vegas game is in fall of 2018.

I knew we played them at Mariucci for a series but wasn't aware of the one in GF. That's great then the Vegas game won't be so bad but I still hope it's televised.

 

It most likely will be televised by FSN, but I could see the B1G Network wanting to televise that game.

This WILL be a lot of fun, one of the greatest ideas ever. I cannot believe the people that are actually complaining about this,wow, must just be a bunch of scrooges, are u kidding me!

Agreed combining two of my favorite things: UND Hockey and Vegas.

I try to convince my friends to get engaged just so I can go to Vegas for a bachelor party.  Now only a short 3 year wait until this game!

I thought Vegas was getting a new Arena?

Las Vegas' new arena will hold about 17,500 for hockey and will be finished in the spring of 2016.  http://arenalasvegas.com/about/quick-facts.aspx   It will be a fantastic facility and would be a great venue for the ND v. MN rivalry, but is owned by a different company (MGM Resorts and AEG) than the Orleans Arena (Boyd Gaming).

I have been to many hockey games in the Orleans Arena and it is also a good venue - all seats have good proximity and view of the ice and has luxury boxes.  There have been many Division 1 basketball games held there over the holidays, with big name programs, like North Carolina having played .  

It will be a great event for ND hockey and the City of Las Vegas - who will likely have an expansion NHL team playing in their first or second season by that time.
