Here is some insight as to how Porter and Toews are doing in the camp. http://supportive-hawkfans.blogspot.com/ I found the link through the Chicago Blackhawks message board. Both Porter and Toews scored in the scrimmage. "3-2 White today, Goals from Porter (off a faceoff win from Lagerstrom), Toews (beauty 1 on 1 w/Crawford and Toews Schooled him), and Antilla.Brouwer scored on a penalty shot (nice move) and Auger (i believe) Poked home a rebound off of a nice effort by Dowell"

Don't forget that Porter is drafted by the Blackhawks as well...

Just thought I would share a neat experience with everyone. I was just outside walking my dog; and I live in Madison, WI; I have my Sioux Crew shirt on and a Sioux hat on... one of the people that passed me noticed and was asking me questions about going to school at UND. When we parted ways he said "I hope you get to keep your logo." I thought that was really neat. Rivals in the WCHA, allies against the NCAA...

Last week they had girls camps and guys defensive camps (I believe)... based on the number of campers that we checked into the halls, there were a lot of groups and different ages. So basically someone was on the ice all day. You could also find groups playings games outside or walking around campus on their way to eat or the pool...

I checked in some the campers last week when I was still in GF so I stopped by the Ralph to watch them play. You can just walk right in and watch. They play both on the Olympic and Main sheets of ice. Basically there all day until like nine at night (not sure). It was neat to see the Sioux player interactions with the kids, and some of the kids are absolutly hilarious to watch! If you have some free time, I'd recommend it... it will make you smile.

Thanks! Those are really awesome to see. Not to try and change the topic of the thread at all, but in the "Focus on Toews" clip there was one quote that made me laugh. "Do you think that if Chicago didn't have Jack Skille they would have taken Kessel?" There is some obviously some bad blood there. Either way, Congrats to Jonathan! Hope to see you in a Sioux jersey for one more year

Thanks!

I don't know a whole lot about the hockey drafting process... seeing as Jones went undrafted, what does that do to his future? Does it mean that he's more likely to stay all four years? (or was it never predicted that he would leave early)

Here is a more detailed report of the GPA breakdown. Student Athletes It goes sport by sport and season by season. It also lists the 29 students that had 4.0 for the entire year

I laminated seating charts for the athletic office today for the Alerus, Betty, and Ralph... none of the student seating has changed at all.

They talked about doing that this offseason, however I think that there were a lot of objects from the season ticket holders that sit there and do not want to move. Personally, I love being at center ice.

I'll admit that I don't know a lot about giving our surveys, but 132 students (not to mention 37 percent being American Indian) doesn't exactly seem like a sample population of the student body. For this survey to be accurate at all, I would think that they would need to include a few hundred more students...

I'm not sure about the history of UND athletics, but I'd have to think that there have been some athletes on some of the teams that are Sioux. Wouldn't it be a good idea to have some of them give a statement on their opinion of the logo and the school environment?

From the USA Today: N.D. to sue NCAA over Fighting Sioux name It's the same article every time, but I sure do love to see it everywhere

Thanks for the post! It's always great to hear that we have support from "outsiders" as well. I am curious as to how a copy of his letter got on the Mississippi State forum...

Yeah I was thinking TJ, but then I checked his birthday, and saw that he was too old...

2006 USA Hockey National Junior Evaluation Camp Looks like our defense may be taking a big hit again... however, it seems like they are missing some of our forwards that they might be interested in...

I'd love to see Kaip continue to score. Hopefully his first goals as a Sioux opens up the flood gates and we can get some offense out of him.

Here is a cool article from today's Herald NHL Playoffs: Big Man Battle It's pretty cool to hear a little bit about how Greene got to the NHL and that he's having a similar impact up in Edmonton that he had in Grand Forks.

First penalty of the night... Matt Greene... tripping. I saw a replay, didn't look that bad too me...

The plan for student tickets isn't offical yet. However, I have heard that the students will not be moving and that they will remain where they have been.

I'm a little behind on contacting my representatives, but I finally did. I am from Wisconsin so I was able to send message to three people: Tammy Baldwin, Russ Feingold, and Herb Kohl. Seeing as Herb Kohl is the one that built the Kohl Center in Madison (where the Badgers play) I will be interested to see what his response is.
