You have five years to complete four seasons of college playing eligibility.
Most players (in football at least) practice with the team during the first year but do not play (and thus do not use up a year of playing eligibility).
Thus, the year after that is their second year as a college student, but their first year on the active roster. Those folks are normally called "redshirt freshmen".
The NCAA doesn't officially recognize the term "redshirt". It's a colloquial phrase to describe someone "on the five year clock but not using eligibilty".
Shall I confuse you further and talk about "medical redshirts"?
Sure!
Thanks for the replys. In light of learning what a "redshirt" is I will take a stab at it though. A "medical redshirt," I would guess, is an athlete who is misses one of his seasons of eligibilty do to a medical situation. He is then alowed another year of eligibilty, athough it still comes out to 4 seasons of acctual play. -
What level of hockey is this? And who are the teams, other than SS-M, and where are they from? Thanks. Well anyways lets hope the kids get a good impression of The Ralph.

Isn't Wisconsin a Native American name.
Yes.
"Wisconsin" is the English spelling of a French version of an Indian name for the river that runs 430 miles through the center of our state. It most likely means "River of Red Stone" or "River of the Great Rock." -
I am not an alumni (maybe someday...) but last winter I was in Denver and went to a Colorado Avs game. I wore a green (away) Sioux jersey and waiting to leave at the end someone hollered "Go Sioux" or something to that effect. It's pretty cool that North Dakota fans make their pressence known to one another.

Does the ability to watch the show on the internet expire after a few days? I watched part of it the other day and now today it will not let me watch it. Thanks.

Good grief...when I read the title of this thread, I thought that even though it's 85 and sunny in Minneapolis, that somehow, somewhere, someway, North Dakota was getting snow.
I thought the same- somewhere in North Dakota was getting snow. And I live in North Dakota.

How can a sports governing body ban teams from a certain state from hosting events because of something out of their (the school's) controll? This is crazy.
"I don't know that anybody is comfortable playing in a place where they fly the Confederate flag," he said by telephone Tuesday.Well I am!
-
As far as South's performance, I hope they enjoy the good run that they are on because once the third high school opens up, the talent will be diluted.
When does the third High School open? Also, can't a kid play for a different school (not the one they are going to) in Fargo? Thanks.

WOW
Thats incredible! I have been to the Marvin plant before and I know that it is a big cornerstone of Warroad. Well, I hope everything goes well there. And thanks for posting the news, PCM. -
Devils Lake isn't in the West anymore. They switched with Jamestown at the end of this last season. You're right about everything except that. Oh, and they will make noise in the East this year.
Devils Lake switched with Jamestown! I had heard that Jamestown was going to be in the West but I did not know that a West team was going to be in the East. I had just figured that the population out east was getting high enough that Jamestown needed to be moved to even things out. Well, thank you for correcting me. By the way, why would Devils Lake and Jamestown switch?
-
One thing is for sure, the East is a lot better than the West again.
Yea, thats pretty much a given. I just hope that at least one team out of the West will win their first game at state. Maybe Devil's Lake. I think they only lost four players to graduation and they were pretty good last year. I was at the came where they took Minot to OT and Minot was pretty lucky to pull off a win.
-
Which school has the strongest team coming back? I think Minot will be down in the west but it does not seem to matter at state, in the last 13 years or so, even if they do have a good team. Which team do people think will win it this next year? I would have to say Fargo North or Central but I could be way off base too.
Yea, from what I can see Minot is going to be way down this year (depending on how the other teams in the West have changed). They lost a lot of seniors and I don't think that they have to much talent coming in. I do think that their goaltending should be pretty good though.
-
I was wondering when a new North Dakota High School hockey thread was going to be started.
Well, here's hoping for a good season.

I was looking for some information on the re-districting done by USA Hockey but could not realy find anything, so thanks for any help. What will this do to hockey in North Dakota? Anything? How about Minnesota? What does the re-districting do?

It's not the West has no talent, it's the depth of the teams and overall ability of the team. Individually the West has produced some amazing talent, but with that talent usually comes little to work with becuase of little history and support. Teams from the West are generally weaker than East teams becuase hockey is a team sport, and the East has had the tradition and constant competition level to stay at a higher level as a team. If memory serves, BHS or Century, can't remember which, has easily outnumbered the amount of highly recruited players than anyone but Grand Forks in the East. Individual talent exists, but generally there is a lack of team ability to compete with the East on a regular basis.
What you say is pretty accurate. Minot does well in the West and then goes to state and gets beat, after leading the games, two years in a row by Central. From what I know, Minot out-talented Central but they could not beat them. Minot's State problems have to have something to do with history. I think if Devil's Lake had been at the top of the West this past year they would have beat Central. They don't have the same history of failure (at State) that Minot has and their team was very young.
Just curious here. What are the rivalries like out East? I know that the Bismarck-Minot rivalery is pretty good. Plus, Minot has been beating them. I was in Bismarck for the rabbit fiasco and it was quite fun. The Bismarck rink is nicer than Minot's though because it is smaller and thus you can pack the house. Minot's rink is just too big.
I would think that South and Red River are getting to be pretty good rivals. Thanks for any replies. -
Thanks for the pictures.
I see Commodore hasn't cut his hair back yet (at least no very much).

Well South beat Minot pretty handly (41-0 or something like that). Minot controlled and won the game against Mandan. I am looking forward to the Bismarck game.
By the way, I am glad to see someone started a High School football thread.
