andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!!

To bad he left but I hope he has the best of luck in the future. Go Sparky!!!!!

I think your idea has some merit. Look it how well Minnesota state did against the Sioux. They were a much older team and had more expeirence; plus, they have only lost one player to the NHL so far in David Backes, a Jr.

Maybe if the restrictions were put in place there would be more talent to go around because the powerhouses would not have so much turnover and the smaller teams would have more of a chance at good players. Sure the powerhouses will most likely still be better but at least Tech, for example, could probably get some decent players.

I like to do lots of things but especially sailing and motocycle riding. I also love to watch Formula One racing!

This seemed like the best place to post this. Anyone know of a Holy Cross forum? Thanks!

Thanks guys for the info!

Glad to read that there apparently is good support among the local restraunts.

I am not familiar with all the "UND support" that is in Grand Forks. I do get through there every now and then and I don

That is to bad. I hope they win the national title considering they are D1, I think, and the Sioux are not. I hope they get plenty of fan support too. GO Illinois!

Any ideas on who the Sioux are going to have for a starting goalie after Parise leaves? Parise will probably be back for next year but after that who is it going to be?

I think Parise will be back for next season. I sure hope he can help bring us national championship #8 and in having a good year, get himself drafted into the NHL. What do you think though, will Lamoureux still back him up?

Sweet!! The pictures have their own thread!! Thanks!

Sorry about the crap, but I'm not realy bothered by the pics being posted that way. between your pictures and the highlight clips from Siouxdonyms, the off season will be way nicer. Thanks again!!

I am so mad at the ncaa right now!!!!! It is not even a logical argument the ncaa is bringing to the table! Just because somebody is offended by a nickname doesn't mean you should be forced to change it! I could be offended by my hometown Minot High School Magicians but I am not and it would be crazy to be offended by it! Heck! there are probably loads of nicknames that somebody could get offended by that were not included in their list! University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Illini too!!!!!

I don't know If this has ever been brought up before but oh well! Thanks Moderators for all your work!! With out you guys (and who ever else makes this site work!), this site would not be nearly as cool!! Keep up the good work! Thanks!! And by the way, I like not having any smack/bash threads.

I didn't know which one of these threads to post this on, so I hope this is a fine place for it! I am so MAD at the stupid insane ncaa (they deserve lower case!). I could run on for quite a while but I realy don't feel like it right now because it so late. I can say though that I hope the U drags this out intell they get to use the name and logo! I don't care how long it takes! If I had a trillion $, I'd do like D-1A football does and start a new national hockey turnament with the ncaa having no part in it! University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Siouxdonyms, Thanks so much for the highlights. They are wonderfull! Summer won't be as long!!

A bit late but oh well! Happy birthday Mr. Toews!

Thanks for the Pics. (I'v done a lot of thanking so for any other pics just know I thank you UNDintheNHL!) Nice captions too.

Enjoy? You bet!! I just love lookig at those pics. Thanks!

Thanks for 4 years at UND Marvin! Good luck for the future!

Definitely interesting. I wonder what kind of effect it would have on Major Junior hockey if a bunch of Canadian schools joined the NCAA and fielded decent D-1 hockey teams. If it happened it would provide more regional competition for UND and the Minnesota schools. It would also probably benefit college hockey as a whole, too.

I would definitely like to see one last game played at the old Ralph. It is even kind of sad that it might be torn down; but it is just taking up space right now as far as I know. I wonder what kind of shape it is in to play hockey though?

While it is sure nice that the Standing Rock and Spirit Lake Nation Indians have given us their support, which they should, we should still be able to use the "Fighting Sioux" name with out their permission. I hope Illinois (along with all other schools with Indian nicknames) also get to continue to use their respective nickname. Just because some people think a nickname is hostel and abusive dosen't give them the right to ban it. I don't care whether they have a majority or not.

Thanks a lot fighting sue! Also thanks for posting the link, I love to look at that kind of thing.
