I have 5 tickets in the 2nd row of the upper level (corner), and will only be needing 4. If you have 4 tickets but are looking for 5 together, would be open to swapping seats. PM me or email fargosioux@cableone.net.
My predictions:
Fargo
North Dakota vs. Providence
Michigan Tech vs. St. Cloud
South Bend
Mankato vs. RIT
Omaha vs. Minnesota
Manchester
BU vs. Quinnipiac
Duluth vs. BC
Providence
Miami vs. Yale
Denver vs. Harvard
The Big Ten brackets show Minnesota playing the winner of the Penn State/Ohio St. game. They must not re-seed after the Thursday games? If Wisconsin beats Michigan, you would think, as the lowest seed, they would play Minnesota.
I'm just happy we won't need to be sweating out the results of other games at the Pour House on Saturday night again this season. Will be much more fun scoreboard watching to see the fate of UMTC.
Still looking for clarification on this. Did anybody else receive their tickets in the mail? This was in the communication I received from the ticket office:
Tickets may be picked up starting immediately at the UND/REA Ticket Office at Ralph Engelstad Arena. We will NOT be mailing out any of the ticket packages. We are asking you to pickup your tickets as unlike traditional UND Hockey tickets, NCAA regional tickets have no way of replacement if lost, damaged or stolen.
Mankato wouldn't have to play St. Cloud in this scenario. With 6 NCHC teams, the NCAA won't worry about first-round NCHC match-ups. They did it a few years ago in Wisconsin, and they'd do it again.
