    Great list! It's amazing how many big time players we have had over the years. So many NHL stars, Stanley Cup Champions, All-Americans, NCAA Champions, and Olympians. Hard to believe we only have one Hobey Baker Award winner out of all these greats (Many other great players with overlapping numbers also).

  2. I just sent an email to ESPN requesting they do a story on Bina. I think it's just amazing the kind of play he is presenting us with this year. Everybody else should do this too.

    I just e-mailed PTI so maybe they can fill in a few more details tomorrow.

  3. During the down time before the next series, I thought it would be interesting to think about who was the best or most influential person to wear numbers 1-35 at UND. Here is the small list off the top of my head (names off top of head not statistics and not all numbers filled obviously):

    1- Karl Goehring (NCAA title, Most wins, highest win %, lowest GAA, highest save %, most shut-outs)

    2- Curtis Murphy (NCAA title, Most GWG defense, 2nd goals defense, Hobey Baker finalist)

    3-

    4-

    5- Jason Blake (NCAA champ, Hobey Baker Finalist, NHL All-star)

    6-

    7- Brad Bombardir

    8- Mike Commodore (NCAA title, 3rd in penalties and penalty minutes, Wisconsin fight, NHL Stanley Cup)

    9- Greg Johnson (Hobey Baker finalist, All-time UND points leader-272, Assist leader, NHL)

    10-

    11- Zach Parise (Hobey Baker finalist, 116 points in 2 seasons, WJC gold medal, 1st round NHL draft, Young Stars Game MVP)

    12- Terry Casey (Only Sioux number retired or not used except Engelstead, Great player who died while at UND)

    13-

    14-

    15-

    16- Ryan Duncan? (If he stays 4 years at this pace he will climb many all-time UND marks, 20 goals already this year)

    17- Jeff Panzer (Best GF player at UND, Multiple hobey baker finalist, NCAA title, 3rd games played, 3rd points, 3rd Assists)

    18-

    19- John Noah (Olympic Gold medalist, All-american)

    20- Bob Joyce (Hrkac circus line, Most goals in season, 3rd in goals, NCAA title)

    21- Tony Hrkac (Only UND Hobey Baker Winner, Hrkac Circus line, 116 points in 1 season, 70 Assists '87 season, 8 shg '87, NCAA title, best ever at UND in college?)

    22-

    23- Ralph Engelstead (No one has done more to support program, 2 arenas, number is retired)

    24-

    25- Phil Sykes (98 career goals, NCAA title)

    26-

    27-

    28-

    29- Ed Belfour (NCAA title, 29-4-0, NHL All-star, Olympic Gold, Stanley Cup Champion, Most well known alumni)

    30- Darren Jensen (NCAA title, 46 wins)

    31- Jeff Lembke (Only goalie with wins wearing this number...pretty weak criteria)

    32-

    33- Nate Ziegelman (Only goalie to wear this number?... pretty weak criteria)

    34-

    35- Jon Casey (2nd wins, .711 win %, .910 save %, NHL)

    What number did Dave Christian, James Patrick, Ben Cherski, Mark Taylor, Doug Smail, Nick Naumenko, Ian Kidd, and Dixon Ward wear?

    As you can see, I have a lot of number left. Please give me your top players at specific numbers with a reason you feel they are the best for that number. I would like to eventually compile a complete list. Thank you!

  4. I thought I heard these just aren't going to be sold to the public. Nike only made enough for the teams and aren't producing them for sale.

    If they are going to bring back old school jerseys, they need to bring back the old Indian head jerseys that they wore in the 50's I believe. It's not the Blackhawk jersey, it's different. Says North Dakota with an Indian head under it.

    I e-mailed Siouxshop after the Dartmouth tournament and was told they would be available to the public only if UND decides to use them next season as a regular or alternate jersey. At 2-0 in them, there is a reasonable chance we will see them in upcoming important games.

  5. I like these jerseys but would like to see them only used in place of our current black jersey as the alternate jersey. I will be buying one as soon as they are available.

    Would look good in green as well.

  6. Will UND be selling game-used football jerseys? It seems that a lot of money could be raised by selling the jerseys just like they do with the hockey jerseys. Grand Forks and UND by a lot of hockey jerseys and I am suprised that the Siouxshop sells hockey and basketball jerseys but no football jerseys. I am really tired of the Colloseum jerseys that look nothing like the real football jerseys.

  7. But do you really believe that retiring the logo and name will make all of your problems cease to exist? We have learned from Dartmouth this week that it has really done nothing in the last 34-36 years to improve their problems. Maybe it would be best to seek the blessings and ask for help from the Sioux tribes in honoring the Sioux name and logo in the most fitting way.

    The whole Sioux name issue is getting old. I personally am in favor of the name. I feel it is used respectively and is in itself a logo designed with thought and good representation of the university and Sioux virtues. On the other hand, I feel it is begining to discredit the university. There are few days that something new is not written about changing the name and the people often encouraging these articles are graduates or faculty still closely associated with the university. It often makes me wonder how many opportunities the Sioux name has afforded them in relation to their university lives. I believe that few universities support specific groups as much as UND has supported American Indian education on campus. There are specific professional programs that provide additional support, there are large numbers of scholarships, there are specific degrees and of course a beautiful building. I believe that many of these programs are at least partially derived from UND's use of the Sioux name along with the American Indian population in the state. I hope that those opposed to the name have also considered that some of the positive opportunities may never have been so widely supported if not for the awareness the Sioux name created on campus.

    If the name begins to take away from the university by dragging it through the mud one one-sided article at a time it may be time to separate the name from the university. I love the Sioux name but I love the university and it's athletics more. If it is dropped, I for one do not want to hear about all of the backhanded hostility from the same people currently claiming how hostile the campus is currently.

  8. A couple links worth checking out.

    here

    and

    here

    Second link is a petition that is, theoretically, done in support. It is clear by reading the signatures and comments that Dartmouth is out of touch with any reasonable understanding of those in favor of the Sioux name and those opposed to the name. Hopefully, we are well represented and can cheer the Sioux on in a way that expresses our respect for the name and what it stands for... as we roll to a 7-1 victory.

  9. I am a lifelong Sioux athletics (especially hockey) collector. I am interested in knowing what others collect of the University and of Sioux athletics.

    My favorite pieces of my collection are a personalized team signed 85-86 Sioux hockey stick and a signed green Tony Hrkac '87 replica jersey that he inscribed "Hobey Baker 87".

    Just thought this would be interesting as I have not really seen many Sioux collections outside of my family

  10. I have an autographed jersey collection that I would like to display with pictures of the players in the same jersey that I have signed. The two Sioux jerseys I have signed are a 1987 green Blackhawk style Tony Hrkac jersey and a white Zach Parise jersey. If anyone has pictures of the 2 players in their respective jerseys and would be willing to post them here it would make my day. Thanks
