Here's a new spin on things. Instead of wanting to cry because you saw Sparky somewhere, why don't we all be happy for him. He spent two wonderful years at UND, but now he has chosen to "go home" to Europe to play and to be with his family, and to start a new life for him and his his fiance. I too, am sorry to see him leave, but he is doing what he feels is right.
Good luck to you Sparky, you will be missed, but I hope to hear good things about your career in hockey.
Godspeed.
