She'll be a Sophomore this year.

I was happy to find this thread dusted off this morning. I was just thinking last night, trying to recall who had posted a thread about keeping the faith and through it all, St. Louis is where we would end up. Funny enough, here is that thread and off we go to St. Louis. You gotta like it! Go Sioux!

I'm heading to the cities to spend some time with friends and was maybe thinking of leaving GF early to take a spin by Sensers if some Sioux faithful would be around to watch the game.

siouxcrew87 has the right initials. Makes sense in my mind. As a general wrap up to having remained out of this thread for a while I just wanted to say a couple other things. First, I'm glad to see other posts backing up some of the things I tried to say early on about things happening behind the scenes and for a while. Sometimes persons actions speak much louder that a persons words, even should they remain anonymous. Second, thank you and best of luck to Shantel, the hard work and consement professionalism are greatly appreciated. I wish the best of luck to Coach Miller and hope a clean start after a Christmas break will hopefully provide a nice spark the rest of the way. To the team, keep up the hard work and playing as hard as you have been! To those fans who go to games and have been supportive, thank you. To those that are starting to come in the fold, come join the fun, at some point this thing will take off and the sky is the limit. You'll be glad you were in at the beginning. Go Fighting Sioux!

I've heard a more fitting name mentioned, more fitting in my mind given certain ties more related to womens hockey.

Its working! wOot.

I get the same message.

Exactly my thoughts. It doesn't matter if they should beat a team by 4 or lose by 4, go out, play your game and give it all you have and see what happens. I think some conference splits this year, more non-conference wins and we'll have a season to build on. Go out, give it your all and see what happens. GO SIOUX!

I think that might be it, not that version obviously, but to the best of my recollection that is correct. Anyone else agree or disagree?

I don't know it but I know what you're referring to, it almost reminded me like something you'd hear in a movie ala Gladiator. If you find it, keep us posted!

I do understand different musical tastes, and I do understand the players selecting the music that is played, however, it seems as though it isn't quite the same feel without hearing "Right Now" by Van Halen. Here's to hoping REA can at least get that one back, the rest is fine. While this is different this year, it works for me, though definitely a change from previous years.

Am I completely off my rocker or did I hear that Sheperd's brother will now be doing mens games as well after previously doing womens, anyone?

Awesome work this weekend. Another come from behind victory (same in Manitoba Exhibition game) and that builds character. As Hockeymom says, Duluth will be tough, but in order to be the best you have to play the best right? Awesome effort ladies, keep it up and everyone keep up the great comments of support!! Go Sioux! Hockeymom, how have the broadcasts been?

I'm not going to argue with most of what you say, but people can support a program while still being critical of the coach. I have no first hand knowledge of the women's program, so this is a generic statement rather than any sort of indictment.

An open letter to all the disgruntled Sioux Women

Per the first two, it is nice to see some positive support around here and those who appear to be more plugged into the truth than others propose they are. Let us put it all aside and see what happens this year. With plenty of support, who knows what'll happen. Per fightingsiouxfan57, the games will be on 1440 AM. I have yet to hear who will be calling the games. Go Sioux!

Props to the Bison on a nice come from behind victory on the road! Look out Goooophers!

Great effort and an even better win! Go Sioux! Salute to the Fighting Sioux getting it done today when few thought they could! Go Sioux!

Froats is headed home, Canada, to work with Marketing, Communications and Player Development with her former high school Athol Murray College of Notre Dame in Wilcox, SK. After many years of being away from numerous friend and family happenings in Canada, Dawn wanted to get back home. The hockey seasons, recruiting and school kept her away from being there for a lot of things and life is too short to miss out on anymore of those events. She strongly believes in this program here at UND, coaches, players and the future to come. Dawn will continue to stay in touch and be a key supporter even from Canada. As a friend of Dawn I'm sad to see her leave, but completely understand wanting to be closer to her family. She did many things in helping build this program and won't be forgotten. The rest of us must emdody her spirit and dedication to make this the most successful women's hockey program we can! Dawn's request! Thank you Dawn for eveything you've done. We will miss you. Best of luck!

I was just going to post that. I'm still shaking my head in disbelief.

Mike, As I told you yesterday when you were so gracious as to sign autographs with the rest of the team, best of luck in all your future endeavors. You have given us more enjoyment and memories in watching you than we could ever begin to hope for, or to try and say thank you enough. Great stories will be shared with younger generations and those visiting a Sioux hockey game for the first time about Mike Prpich. Your dedication, sense of team and class act will be greatly missed but is deeply appreciated. Best of luck and thanks for the salute after the Holy Cross game! We will miss you, but always welcome you wherever there is green and white!
