I love UND hockey and wouldn't change a thing about it but......
The UND hockey program seems to be more 'out there' than the football program. I mean, there's meet the team night with autographs given until the last little guy/girl is out the door (if the football team has one, I don't remember hearing about it), there are the auctions, media coverage is way more for hockey than football, after the games the hockey players are at the Moon or elsewhere giving out autographs with a smile and a 'no you're not bothering me' attitude, etc.
Oh, and I bet lots of hockey players played football in high school in addition to hockey. I know Bina, Fuhr, Schneider did because my son played with/against them in both sports. So I can only surmise that this is a case of 'Marcia, Marcia, Marcia'??
