First off, don't ever refer to me as a drunk "eh-es-es holes" especially when I hold both bachelor and Masters degrees from UND (obviously-no longer a student). And don't call the current students that either. They are the same kids giving you a job and a place to live. Grand Forks would NOT be there without UND!!! Just curious what it costs to run the new FREE arena with beer gardens and every seat having some kind of monetary contribution vs. the old ralph which was still being paid for while roughly 2,500 seats were free to the students. The same students that raised hell for opposing teams. You obviously know the financials-maybe you can give us all a run down between the two arenas?... By the way, if you want to sell your season tickets. let me know...I'll take them off your hands and maybe even buy a few 21 year old students a beer while I emabrace the fact that they are 'oh my God-having fun' Sorry to tell you that

My problem with the whole situation is the students are supposed to come first! People can cry about percentages of seats the students are or aren't getting in the new REA, but no matter how you look at it the students are getting nowhere near the percentage of seats as the old REA. In the old ralph it was nearly 50%!!! In addition, the student behavior was not an issue because they had nearly half of the old arena and were really only bothering each other (if it even was a problem). IMO, residents should be happy they even have season tickets. The Ralph was a gift to UND Hockey, which is made up of: 1. Hockey players 2. Students 3. Faculty 4. Alumni 5. Everyone else

I concur...Steve Johnson was robbed!!!

Thanks for the quick info...since he hasn't been drafted (even late round) I think he will be a strong candidate in the next two years, if he stays healthy...

I believe spirko is the most likely Sioux player to win the hobey. Like Panzer he dominates play and looks very likely to play all four years. I don't know where he's drafted (if at all) but not being a first rounder should mean playing through his senior year. Spirko for hobey 2008! Does anyone know if he's drafted and where?
