In order to build an epic team the objective is not to seek out players who love to win (lots of these type are available and they are mostly soft) but rather select a team comprised of players who have a visceral hatred of losing .... The level of talent needs to be varied (lunch buckets with finesse players) thus reducing systematic weaknesses and coupled with coaches who will sit anyone who holds themselves above full sacrifice - no matter what the circumstances. Crossing our blue line should instill fear in our advisories. We have never followed (playing style) ... We have always dictated terms. This is the North Dakota way .....

If a player does not get physically ill at the prospect of losing there is no place on the team for such a player. I did not see anyone physically ill on our side ... at any point in the game!

Did anyone tell our guys that this a regional final?

Wake the F up ... gentlemen or it will be another fail. Winners hate to lose ... losers love to win.

Ryan Martens - WCHA Nominee http://www.fightingsioux.com/ViewArticle.d...;ATCLID=3717508

Cartwright - pop about 300 (on a good day) Cartwright has produced over 50 Junior A players over the last 30 years (a couple of Junior Natioanl Champs) , a (Major Junior) Memorial Cup Champion and 3 NCAA level players (Sioux, Michigan State and Maine) - one NCAA champion. Town lives for hockey (I know I grew up there and played for the Sioux)

Is Bob Norton like the Doug Woog of the east? That would be an insult to Woog - he knows something about hockey.

That's fine with me ... Erwin (Ryan's uncle) - member 1980 NCAA Champions ... Chorney, Lamoureux and Martens the next generation!!

Please do as he asks ... the situation is not good

Like any performance measure (including those used outside sports) - the idea is get a sense of the player's level of consistent contribution. Ice time % is an average over the season (some games more and some less). Clearly the coaching staff has the best stats on exact game specific times - the times are approximations over the year. Change the numbers and re-run the analysis if the numbers don't seem right. The idea is measure approximate ice time and what was the average contribution per player during that ice time.

Here is a look at 2006/2007 Games played x 60 min = Max Min Game Time = % on ice Actual Playing Time = Max Min x Game Time(%) Pts per Time = Total Points / Actual Playing Time Rank 2006/2007 Max Game Actual Pts per Rank Player POS YR | GP G A PTS Min Time Time Time Ryan Duncan F SO | 43 31 26 57 2580 40% 1032 0.055 5 T.J.
