Ding! Ding! Ding! I wondered how many hints I had to give. Funny thing is, when I once interviewed Noah, I asked him about the "Johnny Apollo" referencess used about him used in the Dakota Student. He was completely unaware of them. Al Finkelstein, the newspaper's hockey writer who came up with the nickname, played goalie for the Sioux. Noah also said that they were friends in college. But apparently either he didn't read the paper much or the nickname never caught on.

Another hint: He was the first Sioux player to play in the Olympics.

Spearing does sound better.

You are correct. According to this USCHO article, Schmidt called Larose for butt-ending, not spearing as I stated earlier.

I remember all the conspiracy theories that call triggered.

A guess: Matt Henderson?

It was WCHA referee Mike Schmidt.

Mike Commodore Mike Commodore Cory Larose. And who was the referee who called Larose for spearing in the NCAA regional playoff game against Michigan? Craig Ludwig

I heard that Taylor was going to make a decision based on who won the argument on this board.

No. Another hint: He was a defenseman.

I just gave you a hint.

Hint: The full nickname was "Johnny Apollo."

Nope and nope. What's ironic is that the person who got the first part of the question right didn't get the second part.

It's the name a real actual former Fighting Sioux player.

That's a minor detail.

That's probably much closer to the truth.

Flattery will get you nowhere.

You got the first half of the question. Who got the first assist on the goal?

Nope. Guess again.

Which former Sioux great was nicknamed "Apollo" by the Dakota Student?

Bzzzzzz... He might not be quite that old.

Which former Sioux goalie did The Sicatoka score a goal on and who got the first assist?

Jay Panzer will be there to help people plan for their retirement and Andy Schneider will be there to provide advice on buying a home entertainment center.

Look at all the white stuff! Oh wait... That's sand.

Other than saying that I agree with The Sicatoka, that's about it. Now carry on with your little crusade against the polls and see where it gets you.
