Greg Johnson, Chad Johnson, Scott Dub, Marty Schriner, and Scott Brower all gone far too early. I feel like I am missing a few as well. Really makes you realize how short life can be. My heart goes out to all their families for such early losses.

Yeah, was curious if it had to do with the hereditary heart abnormality the article said was his reason for retirement.

Would be nice to make room for Brett Murray this year should he decide not to go pro.

Bruce McCleod was a joke.

I agree. Doesn't UND try to get that trip as often as they can because they get to play a couple extra games on the schedule because of the Alaska rule.

I find when people say “it’s not me it’s everybody else”, it is most likely you.

I just find it funny that the people that are so insistent that the logo be prominently displayed had no problem when the Sioux logo wasn't on the field in football or were barely noticeable on uniforms and such in other sports.

Some people who are not big hockey fans just are looking for any reason to dump on them.

Yes, apparently the moderators too!

They need to "get over it", as finding a reason to whine over a spectacular new scoreboard seems petty.

Wow, the instigation sure did work!

I guess if there is another stretch of rehab to be done, I guess we can see why he dropped so far in the NHL draft.

Curious about Ty Smilanic who is also mentioned. Did he decommit from Denver because he plans on playing Major Junior, or is he reopening his recruitment, or maybe a wait and see where he is drafted scenario, then decide.

It may work out for us in that a few players may have a bit of a chip on their shoulder if they feel they were slighted. Some may work themselves into the draft next year should they have good years.

Hopefully that will be the day we are finishing off our revenge sweep of Canisius!

I am not so sure the minimal decreases compared to other teams is all about winning. I think it is more about the product not being as exciting. A lot of Hakstol's teams were hovering around .500 midway through the season, but attendance was pretty consistent. Hopefully the excitement comes back this year which leads to better attendance ... and winning!

As some suggested, Jay O'Brien is going to stay on the East Coast with Boston University after his year with Penticton.

With a part time mayor that has only increased cost of living in the city while the wages haven’t kept pace, is it any wonder why Grand Forks is stagnant right now. Like you say we need to get aggressive, but I don’t see that with a mayor that has no concept of economic development.

Was thinking that since he is 16 he would only be a sophomore in high school last year.

Is Halliday a 2020? With Ness, Gaber and Randklev and Mancinelli, it certainly would seem something has to give.

I could see Costello and Mancinelli flipping because I would guess they would be the ones getting pushed back.

Would guess this would rule out getting Jay O’Brien after he spends a year in Penticton.

On the positive side, it gives Minnesota another excuse for bad attendance.
