    It’s usually early in the season. It is an opportunity to evaluate new guys and line pairings. We need to be able to win games against teams that play their style. How many times have our good teams been knocked off in games where we can’t get a needed goal? It’s an early measuring stick as to where we are and what we need to work on.
     

    If we are reluctant to play Bemidji or similar teams, then we might not be that good. I read goofy comments about “setting the bar”. We as “keyboard expert critics” don’t set the bar,  but if we have any qualms about playing Bemidji, then that’s an awfully low bar.
     

    A small part of it is helping build college hockey. A part of it is regional interest. I like playing Army. I would guess they are usually lower than Bemidji in the pairwise. Heck we play Miami every year. 

    I see that both games are in GF this year vs. the usual home and home.

    Anybody else not like this non loyalty and transferring so easily? I know you need to play the game to keep up, but I feel like there isn’t as much heart in coming to the place you first wanted and they wanted you playing with that purpose. When I was a student getting to know the players for the 4 years they were there made you want it so much more for them. Gone are those days I guess and maybe because I am getting older and further away from the game but it is just very different now when I took my 4 yr old to that St Cloud game at the X. Haven’t been to GF for about 15 yrs so maybe that might bring back more passion but I just don’t connect with the stories of these players anymore though Schloss does a great job trying to get us all to connect somehow. I know people say the name change and logos have nothing to do with lack of success lately but I beg to differ because we aren’t as intimating with that image and history on our side because we don’t know who we are and are reaching for pieces just like others.

    I am an older fan also (have been to games in all 3 arenas at UND). And I totally agree with your statement.

    As we say goodbye to another year of Sioux hockey, a big thank-you to the proprietors of siouxsports.com for hosting the best college hockey forum on the internet. (And there's not really a second place.) Sioux hockey without this forum would be like a grinder without the white sauce.
