Official news release - NCHC Names Jim Scherr first commissioner

Via Schlossman That doesn't surprise me considering it's tough to travel to Canada without a Passport. A friend and I are traveling to the game. Anyone else from SiouxSports going?

Via Brad Schlossman on twitter: New WOMEN'S hockey jersey. Apparently the men's hockey jersey will be different.

Out of curiosity, where would you rank Cichy and Bruneteau in the lineup if we had St. Clair and Miller like the coaches had expected? Honestly, there wasn't much out there for the coaches to pick from in such short notice. There were a handful of unexpected circumstances leading into this season and they did the best they could to fill spots.

Via twitter Geeze, the Sioux have been bitten hard by the injury bug this season.

Per twitter, Forbort is out for today's game against Canada I really hope his injury is not serious

No surprise there. I can't believe it took him so long to announce it.

Merry Christmas, Sioux fans!

Clint Lewis (NTDP U-17 Team) is looking at a handful of colleges and lists UND among them He sounds quite high on the Gophers, but you never know.

Lol! Reminds me of the folks in Fargo who think the Force would dominate the Sioux. Delusions of grandeur.

Schlossman tweeted that he will decide in the next few days on his future.

According to the official seating chart, the students will be in Section 112. Sioux fans normally travel really well (estimated 14,000+ Sioux fans were at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul last season for the Final 5 Tournament), but I get the feeling that ticket sales aren't very strong for this game. UND Head Coach Dave Hakstol was in Winnipeg a few days ago hoping to drum up interest for the game, and last night at the UND hockey game they gave away a couple pair of tickets. I think the biggest hurddle for most people is that you need a Passport or Passport Card to travel to and from Canada. A lot of people I know don't have either one. If fans decided at the last minute to buy tickets, there isn't enough time to allow for a Passport or Passport Card to arrive unless you pay quite a bit extra to have it expedited. It's too bad UNO had to back out of the game as I think people would have been more willing to buy a Passport and travel if the Sioux were playing a well known opponent. On the Canadian side, there were reports a few months ago that they were hoping to make it a double-header with some Canadian junior teams playing prior to the Sioux game, but I guess that idea never came to fruition.
