Wasnt Hakstols first year as coach on that 05 Denver title game?

Combined goal differential for those three games. 14-3.

Yeah you're right. Its been three times.

The east has much better hockey than the west.

What year did he announce the new Ralph "98? I thought I read ralph wanted to host a frozen four when he announced the building but realized at that time that the NCAA was currently implementing a 15,000 seat mininum.... He still visioned it though when it was announced.

Ralph built that sucker to host a frozen four...RIP.

This year I think the Fargo Dome would have sold out. But yes "ice issues".

Why was the NDSU football coach at a UND hockey Game?

Well sorry by bad. Was not aware. Thought you might have numbers. Im in no way doubting there were plenty of "rabid" Bison football fans there. They are good and have done things no other FCS teams have ever done. Kudos to them. I saw very minimal Bison gear that weekend. The ones I did see were in the suites...the suites were also packed with Sioux Fans.

Easy to say he probably wasn't at Scheels arena.

How many non suite tickets did they get? Still not close to "half". Easy to assume UND fans living in fargo have a suite to Force games to get their hockey fix...like the Sioux head ive seen in the suites.

I highly doubt half those fans were Bison football fans. And if they were its not the "passionate fans" but more like the go North Dakota any thing. Like my mom. Ill get a text "go bison" even though she works at UND...Im like ok whatever mom...haha.

Ive think youve lost it son. Those were the utmost die hard UND fans around. There was only two ways to get tickets. Be a UND champions member or wait outside scheels arena since 430 am like me and that was for only 150 out of 5,000.

Could the FargoDome not host a regional? They've had ice in there before.

Clear roofs are definitely the future of stadiums.

Oh stop it.

Is it thursday yet?

Id call it a fringe sport since theres no professional league...oh wait nevermind.

You cant have your cake and eat it too.

People care about wrestling about the same they do swimming and diving. Im not even sure if UND hockey got invited to the Big Ten they would join.

Good quote by Dean, “When it comes to arena, facilities, investment in the program and fans wearing that green and following their team anywhere, there’s no doubt North Dakota is at the top of the list as the No. 1 hotbed for college hockey in the nation,” Blais said.

"It was great but we struggle to avoid what just happened in Fargo." So lets just scrap neutral sites and go to home rinks? Im not sure thats the answer. Lots of college rinks are pretty small with little time for fans to plan. Isnt this the best compromise we currently have vs completely neutral rinks with no host teams vs home rinks. Apparently college hockey had already decided they didnt want home rinks a few years ago. *Their coach is a jackwagon. The Cornell coach will tell you that. Hes been on the committee before and if theres anyone like him on their now. They might say no to Fargo..."too much of a home crowd for UND." One less way to "struggle" with what just happened.

St Cloud was probably thinking that same thing along those lines last weekend. Or Maine vs the Gophers at the X many moons back.

Except its been this way for years and years. What does he mean its "a struggle to keep neutral sites"? Is he new to college hockey or have sour grapes. Is he advocating not having "host" teams and not guaranteeing them a spot there if they make it. Sounds like it.
