Big A HG

Everyone should be all for Moorhead starting a program. The more teams the better right now in college hockey. With the strong possibility of schools dropping the sport over the next few years, we need to support schools adding it as much as possible...even if they are small schools like Moorhead.

I haven't placed an ounce of blame on Minnesota personally. I know how much the school and fanbase wanted to stay in the WCHA. This definitely comes down to Alvarez in the end.

How about something like "Northern Rangers". I know Rangers isn't completely unique by itself, but there aren't many good, unique options out there. I really like the name Rangers, and you could get a good logo out of it.

These final two "normal" WCHA seasons will be filled with some severe animosity each and every week. -We will have hate towards Minnesota and Wisconsin as usual, but especially for ditching the WCHA to start this whole process. -The teams in the leftover WCHA will hate us for leaving for a new conference -The teams joining us in our new conference are some of our biggest rivals anyways. This will be 2 full seasons of blood baths.

Matthews Arena is close in terms of a metro area, but it's not really "close". It's within walking distance, but it's a decent hike. Then again, it was the middle of the night and I had a few in me when I made that walk. Apparently there was a park inbetween Matthews and Fenway you shouldn't walk through at night, but me and my buddy survived nonetheless.

Who's the greatest Sioux player to wear #4 in history, in honor of July 4th? Lee Goren? Ian Kidd? Will it one day be Derek Forbort?

"Ralph Engelstad Arena will self-destruct in 5, 4, 3..." Maybe the place IS rigged because of the potential loss of the nickanme.

I don't disagree and when I say Hak is on the short list, that doesn't mean he'll be gone soon. There are a lot of good coaches out there at all levels, especially assistants already at the NHL level, so in a way it's a bit surprising to see Eaves get the head coaching opportunity in the NHL despite his well-accomplished past. It could be two years, it could be 20 years, but there's no doubt that if an NHL club is looking to pull a coach from the college ranks, Hak is on the short list.

Wow, as much as I'd hate to see Eaves leave Wisconsin, in a way I'm slightly rooting for it if it's because of the BTHC. The scary part about this is that Hakstol is on the short list of potential college coaches moving to the NHL, in my opinion. I know he loves UND and has some unfinished business, but he plays the most similar system to most NHL squads in college hockey, and he's a perennial winner. It's hard to turn down an NHL salary as well.

In honor of Bill Steenson, here is my Steenson jersey... I also have my own write-up giving my own personal, short perspective here.

Sioux-Jersey.com There are now three Collections posted in the Collect section I have added the second jersey to the Encyclopedia, and don't forget to read the Blog entry "From Good to Great" that tells the story.

If I took all my classes online, I would have missed out on: -Meeting the girl I am marrying (maybe online option isn't so bad haha) -Sioux hockey games -Puking my brains out after a night full of over-endulgence -Meeting many awesome people, both on and off campus -Red Pepper -Learning how to live on my own I can see the benefits of it, but there are some things you can't replace, like the hands-on learning and group projects. I did take a few online classes during summers while attending when it was a relatively new concept, and all I really got out of it was memorizing definitions and concepts...no REAL learning. Some things are irreplaceable. I'd say the majority of degrees out there are impossible to properly learn by doing online courses only.

The only part of the game the Sioux really struggled at was the Power Play. Yeah, they had some inept moments at points throughout the game on offense, but they still had a high shot count with plenty of good chances. The defense was stout and the goaltending w/ Dell was superb. It was just one of those games where the puck doesn't bounce your way. Sad, really, because the Sioux were the better team by far. It's what can make hockey frustrating at times...the best team doesn't always win. It's the same case for other sports as well, but more common in hockey, in my opinion. I've said this for a couple years now around friends....it's the curse of the new logo. This school has had so many great teams over the past decade that have come so close, but just can't win the title.

Thanks for the help Jim. The site is awaiting confirmation. I had some computer issues over the past week, but they are straightened out and I'm getting back to work. Updates: -First Encyclopedia entry is posted with some neat info, and a Blog Feature that highlights that jersey. I think you'll enjoy it. -First Collection posted on Collect page -First item is posted in Buy/Sell section Again, please let me know if you own any game-worn Sioux jerseys. I'd like to add you and your collection to the Collect page. Please contact me and I'll let you know what I need from you! I will also continue posting all updates on Twitter as soon as they happen @SiouxJersey

I have a GAME-WORN Matt Greene jersey for sale from his days in Edmonton for sale for a nice price ($375). It's a very sharp jersey, comes with all documentation, etc. For all details including a bunch of pictures, head over to my site: http://sioux-jersey.com/#/buysell/4551922795 ***If you have any jerseys for trade, I may consider a trade deal. I am looking for any Sioux game-worns or authentics. I will consider cash+jersey for a jersey, if one of ours is worth more than the other. Please PM or email me.

Well, the intention isn't to focus on game-worns, just to document each aspect about each jersey worn by the team. It just so happens that game-worns are the best venue for that because, well, it's the actual stuff the team wore. Replicas vary quite drastically, hence the reason to not focus on them.

We're not comparing whose got bigger you know what's, I just think it'd be cool to index where all the game-worn Sioux jerseys are out there.

I would love to have your collection posted on the site with your permission. If you're interested, PM me.

It's a long off-season, and had some freetime, so I decided to put together a website I always wanted. It's a work in progress, but I feel comfortable releasing it to everyone today. WHAT IT'S ABOUT: I wanted to a create a site all about Fighting Sioux hockey jerseys that would encompass all aspects of it from buying and selling, to research, photos, etc. I dubbed it the Encyclopedia of Sioux Hockey Jerseys. There is a section called "COLLECT". This is where I'd like to post a picture or two of every GAME-WORN Sioux jersey out there. I know a lot of you own at least one, so I'd love to get some pics from you. The Collect page will ultimately lead to a small profile page for each collector. That way, collector's can contact each other about possibly making trades, or giving compliments, etc. I will update you as it progresses further. The Buy/Sell section will be a place where people can put Sioux jerseys up for sale. There is currently a Matt Green Game-worn Oilers jersey for sale at a very nice price. The Encyclopedia itself will always be evolving. I am adding jerseys in one at a time, and with each entry, I am doing a blog story (blog is also found on site) about some cool stories related to each piece. Keep in mind, many things that are there now will change and evolve the further I get. FOLLOW ON TWITTER. I have a Twitter Account set up so every time I add something new or have something cool to share, I will send out a Tweet. Follow @SiouxJersey There's much more info on the site and it's all self-explanatory. I just wanted to share with you the new website I created. I've done so much research just on my own fun, I thought I'd share what I've come up with over the years. Some stuff you might already know, soem Jim Dahl, and others: For starters, I'd like to have a link on the main page here at SiouxSports when I post a Feature Blog story at my site. For other sites, like Goon's for example, I'd love to post a link on my page if you'd kindly do the same on yours. Please check back often for updates. I'd love to hear any thoughts/suggestions.

I think a general idea of numbers will be decided right around now, but won't be officially released until later.

Did you get your sweater?

I can't view the pic because I'm not a member of the forum, but by his description I would say it's a fake jersey, and if it's a fake jersey there's a decent chance it's a fake autograph to boot.

I've been trying to confirm through the University who does the actual team customization. I'm about 99% sure I know who through my own research, but just wanted that confirmation...still waiting, though.

It was the Green Bay regional as a whole for me. It was very close to home for me and to see them playing in Wisconsin, and then winning, was an awesome moment. Myself and about a half dozen others tailgated at Lambeau both days and had a great time the whole weekend.

Unless they gave the higher seed the choice of venue...not forcing them to play in their normal home arena, but allowing them to choose where they'd like to play. Then, Yale can still go to Bridgeport and pack in way more fans.
