So did Cansius have a record good team? What about BSU? They may have had record good years, but we have been inconsistent at best the last 2 years. That being said, I'm optimistic for this year and I'll cut the team some slack for the last few years given how close they were to making the playoffs, but Berry needs get things done this year.

They may just have to outlast their governor https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/455900-group-launches-effort-to-recall-alaska-governor?amp To be clear. I'm not being political nor am I saying the governor was right or wrong. But people are mad at him. Funding issues aside, lacking a conference would hurt them. It'll be interesting to see what the New WCHA/CCHA does as I doubt they want to stay at 7. There will likely be a lot of conference shifting in the next few years. I'd be surprised if AK dropped hockey all together so i wouldn't be surprised to see them make a club team or join Canadian hockey if they fold their D1 teams.

Don't get me wrong, I love our hockey team. But big screens have never done much for me.

Maybe so, but the REA getting a new scoreboard was probably about 100th on my list of issues and desires for the hockey team.

Not going to lie, I kind of forgot he went to UND after he transferred...nonetheless I wish him the best.

Which op ed are you talking about?

Yay for NCAA rules making things worse!

I forgot about that. Honestly I thought the idea had died out

1. Minnesota 2. Wisconsin 3. Minnesota St 4. ASU 5. Michigan Tech 6. Air Force 7. BSU 8. Notre Dame 9. BC 10. BU

Hopefully they learn they can actually make plays and not just rely on puck luck from long range shots.

Call me spoiled but I expect that every year.

Bring any sport onto campus would be good, but I don't think a new single sport stadium is a wise financial investment at UND right now. Now if they could find a way to make a stadium on campus that could host multiple sports that are currently off campus, I'd be on board. Otherwise they might want to wait on new stadiums until they have few more years of stable funding from the staten Also, didn't they just agree to partially fund upgrading their existing stadium?

The Armory that houses AF ROTC and Army ROTC was the basketball arena prior to Hyslop. I heard a rumor that they want to move ROTC and give the Armory to the Art Museum but that was from a student so who knows how accurate it is.

How so? We left the Big Sky.

Also, most of the natives I know hate the cartoonish native logos. The other logos were controversial as well but I doubt the school wanted to bring out their most controversial logo, especially if it is true that it was never the primary logo.

I can't say for certain, but I suspect it's the feather and spirit cloud referenced in the graphic.

Wait...seating? Fans aren't just suppose to sit on the grass/snow?

So when do we change this from Twins? to Twins! or at least Twins?!

Ah man. I didn't include that I'm a servant leader in my application. Guess that's why I haven't been contacted yet. Not because I'm still in the AF, live in KS, applied on a forum, and have no experience in academia.

Certainly hard to see both hockey teams surviving when they are talking about closing entire schools down. Not sure what AK politics look like but I suspect there will be some hot seats in 2020.

I mean ECAC routinely sends more than one team but I agree that the size is too big for an easy schedule. I agree that Hockey East has some tradotionally strong academic schools as well but Hockey East is getting pretty big too. I think an Ivy Legaue hockey conference could add value to the east coast. However, that does increase the number of total autobids by 1 or 2 (depending on the WCHA's ability to survive). At what point does it become realistic to discuss expanding the tournament again?

Saw this today. Not sure who they would join if they could get it done. https://www.thedp.com/article/2019/07/penn-hockey-endowment-club-ice-varsity-bonachea-siegel-alumni-ivy-league-ncaa

What about Southwest Minnesota State? A large school like that certainly could make the jump right? (Sarcasm)

That's my point. Adding anyone beside Illinois would give them 9.

Illinois is going to have a team in the near future and they want an even number so ASU is probably going to be in NCHC. Otherwise they will have to join the new CCHA or the WCHA until more PAC teams make teams. That being said, MSU is a better fit in the NCHC then some of our existing members. I say we should take ASU and MSU but that's just me.
