How about the 5 guys in front of Scheel. Standing around and not moving your feet.

Prayers to Al and his family. Very sorry for your loss.

Participation award. No thank you.

Sucking is bad enough but no heart is way worse.

Team is a disgrace. No pride. I miss Fighting Sioux Hockey.

I live in Sioux Falls and had been waiting for this event like a kid waiting for Santa at Christmas. Sadly...the Grinch stole something..... Going begrudgingly.

The USPHL is a Tier 1 league such as Shattuck, Little Caeser's, Honeybaked, Compuware, Omaha etc. and they will have certain kids tendered to play in the USHL. It is the top league in the country for kids in High School to play against other programs all across the country with the USA National Championships occurring in April. (and other age groups such as U14, U16 and U18). Obviously, a state like Minnesota and High School hockey is a very big deal and great hockey but the Tier 1 league provides many more games and provides exposure to kids on a national level that they otherwise would have not received unless you are an exceptional hockey player at the High School level in a state that garners a lot of attention. The NAHL also has a NAPHL league in which kids are tendered to NAHL teams as well.

Tomek just drafted in 2nd round of USHL draft.

Stay home then....you won't be missed.

Great choice. I think people will be surprised at how nice a community Sioux Falls is, great restaurants and bars and a real passion for hockey.

More of just a reader of the site these days! Safer that way, HA!

It is a great venue! Plus it is only 5 miles from my house. Very excited for this to be in the hostile and abusive city of Sioux Falls!

Great game. SIOUX dominated the play. Not one individual to blame. They played their hearts out and deserved a better fate. It happens in playoff hockey. Hats off to BU to capitalize but it does not diminish the effort by the team we call Fighting Sioux.

Seriously?

Seriously?

Great game. Bad fate. It happens. Proud of the fight they displayed left it on the ice. Plus NCAA hates us.

And yes....total cross check.

Shots on net and good things happen.

Gentlemen, you don't have enough talent to win on talent alone.

Good points along with the fact that Sioux Falls now has a Tier 1 team at the U16 and U18 divisions and has done respectable against some very tough competition.

Wilke with a big game tonight with a very heavy heart. Parents, players and coaches of the U14 Omaha AAA program involved in a tragic accident. Their assistant coach did not make it. The hockey community isn't all that big and we all cross paths so prayers and thoughts to all involved.

Can 22 get points for that? Use your head.

The culture that has been built within the men's hockey program is nothing short of exceptional from the early days of John Noah to Reggie to Gino, Dean-o, Hak and now Berry. What a privilege it is to be able to watch these young men compete at the highest of levels of college athletics while building a life-long bond to the program, to a brotherhood and to its storied history. That alone goes way beyond a logo and nickname. I WILL always cheer for that culture that so many people have given so much to make and I will always cheer for the University of North Dakota hockey team!

Allegiant out of Omaha to St. Petersburg was less than 300/ticket. What I thought impossible last night is now going to happen. Just need tickets but Tampa here we come!
