I believe in giving second chances but based on everything that has been reported and his "apology" doesn't come off as genuine when he never personally apologized to the victim. If he honestly still thinks the court-mandated apology letter is enough then he still hasn't grown at all and I am conflicted on whether or not he deserves that second chance. UND, Mitchell, and @schlossmangfh terribly mishandled this. Instead of being reactive and waiting for this whole thing to blow up they could've been proactive. If they would've got ahead of this and Mitchell actually apologized to the victim that would've at least shown that he was trying to improve himself and be a better person. Everything being said now doesn't come off as genuine at all.

Yes, you absolutely can. Especially if you were the victim. Many kids who are on the receiving end of being bullied will live with that trauma for the rest of their lives. I feel like many of the people here have never experienced being bullied. Mitchell Miller never personally apologized to the kid or family. He was forced by the court to at least write an apology letter. He could’ve and should’ve done more. If he wanted to actually show that he wanted to be a better human he would’ve gotten ahead of this before it became mainstream by personally apologizing to the kid. Everything being said or done now is just trying to mitigate the fallout.

Right? Honestly, I hold Brad up to such high esteem but he really !@#$ed up as well on sitting on this story. Gotta make sure to throw in those token statements at the end to make sure UND brass don't get mad at him for having to actually write about it.

The link to the article no longer works but luckily there is the internet archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20160630165121/http://www.toledoblade.com:80/Courts/2016/04/26/Judge-slams-pair-s-role-in-bullying-case.html

Agreed. It looks terrible optics-wise that UND and @schlossmangfh have ignored it. It's a dramatic difference on something like what Bochenski did vs what Miller did. It might've not made a difference if they addressed it head on but I'd say it is certainly better than not addressing it all. Brad actually tweeted about it finally. Looks like @AlphaMikeFoxtrot was right.

I just want some damn college hockey to be played. Let's. Go.

@MoSiouxFan Edit: Looks like Toledo Blade website is having some website issues.

Quite the vitriol for Mitchell Miller by NHL fans on HFBoards after he was drafted by the Coyotes. Which I do understand since what he did in the past was reprehensible but I also gotta believe that people can change and learn from their mistakes(small and egregious). I do find it weird how the resident beat writer @schlossmangfh seems to be willfully ignoring or avoiding the subject though. Has written some amazing stories, feel like there is an opportunity there for Mitchell to address it and dampen some of the heat. Cause right now the narrative is that he is a remorseless ***hole.

I always thought it was a jelly donut that's been bitten into.

Who cares about the Pioneers...especially in a thread that’s suppose to be about UND. You know their fans didn’t give two shits about UND losing the Sioux nickname. Which is how much I will give if they lose theirs.

Wisconsin recruited him pretty hard before Rizzo made his decision to commit to UND. Wisconsin also has lost some players due to transfer. Maybe just a coincidence...

Some speculation that Mitchell Miller might drop in the draft due to a bullying incident when he was 14. I believe you have to give benefit of the doubt. He's older now and have to hope he learned from what he did.

Yep, that’s it. Hoping someone here still has it. Is @AZSIOUX still around? Maybe I’m wrong but I swear he had a pretty good archive of games. Pretty sure he was the one I bought dvd copies of old games from years ago.

I would really like to rewatch the 2005 Frozen Four Semifinal against Minnesota. Anyone have a copy of that game?

I think it is similar issue that YouTube user Virgil Moody ran into. They had quite a collection of old UND games uploaded but now most if not all have been removed from their channel.

Some of the games I live streamed this season got flagged/blocked for copyright claims after streaming was completed. YouTube would give options to unblock the video such as trimming out sound or footage that contained the copyright claim. However, some of the companies making the claim are just outright ***holes. I streamed the Friday UND/Minnesota game but it is blocked from being viewable cause of a claim and no option to resolve it. The flagging of copyright seems to be automated because the live streams I did were always private and unlisted yet claims would still be made. I usually waited a month before making the streams publicly viewable(otherwise would need link to stream).

At least he didn’t go to Duluth. Omaha? Meh. I hope he has a successful career there other than against UND, of course.

If he gets drafted within the top 10, can see him as a one and done after UND wins #9.

Re-watching this games reminds me of how fun it was to have Brett Hextall on the team. He was so damn good at agitating the opposing team into doing something stupid.

You need a Worst Sioux hockey memories thread.

Really unfortunate deal. I really feel like Tychonick progressively got better as the season went on. Honestly, as I said during one of the game threads, I wouldn’t blame him if he decided to look elsewhere for playing time. Now if he transfers to Duluth or Denver....

Man, is it nice to read good news for a change!!

Gloria! Gloria!
