    Anyone else think that we need to add one more forward before the start of the season? 

    Right now we are rolling with:

    Juniors (3):  Poganski, Simonson, Olson

    Sophomores (6):  Boeser, Gersich, Gardner, Janatuinen, Wilkie, Gornall

    Freshmen (5):  Jost, Hoff, Bowen, Yon, Smith

    Two extra forwards is pretty light, especially with a lot of underclassmen, and interchangeable players in the bottom 6.

    My friend does not think they will be adding anyone.

    Agree 100%.  Another interesting one (not a soph however) is Pogo.  There were time last year he really stuck out.  Something many people forget is that these guys are young and (most) will continue to develop and get better year over year.

    Yes, I also expect Poganski to be a team star.  I have been thinking about what a Boeser, Schmaltz, and yes, Poganski line might be like.  Puck possession!

    A buddy of mine said Nick is waiting for us to decide the best four-year player question before he releases his decision.  Says he wants our full attention. 

    Tell your buddy that it will be Nick, if he stays four years.

  4. It is too bad we don't have "North Dakota" (no nickname as an option).  The best alternate choice is "North Stars."  North Dakota North Stars!  It does roll off your tongue.  And, it could be "Stars" for a short version.  Too bad Minnesota is known as the "North Star" state.  But then again, Grand Forks Red River High School is known as the Rough Riders.

  5. Why is it so difficult to choose a nickname?  I think this is why:  Nicknames are silly, stupid, lame, passe`, and even politically incorrect. All animal names are lame.  We aren't hawks!  We are not weather phenomenon!  Do we really need to use the nickname of a Grand Forks high school?  Where does it say a school must have a nickname?  We are North Dakota!  We are proud hearty hard-working industrious intelligent good people. The interlocking ND is a great logo. We are North Dakota, period.  No silly stupid lame nickname can top that!  "North Dakota" has served us well for the last few years. Not having a nickname is classy.  It does not diminish us.  It elevates us. I wish we were not forced to have a nickname.
