UND85

DU 4 WISCONSIN 3 FINAL

TRUPP

I just finished watching the dvd they sent with the tickets. They gave a review of the 1950's decade of the history of the league. My favorite line was when someone was remembering going to "The Barn" at UND. They said that 'two things hit them when they walked into the arena,how cold the air was inside and the smell of booze on the breath of the fans.' They followed that up with saying 'you could hear sounds of bottles getting knocked over as people stood up to leave after the game. Great memories it sounds like.

I got mine too! I haven't watched the dvd yet they sent with the WCHA tickets. Remember to enter the contest to win tickets for next years event by correctly guessing which 5 teams make it this year. Which teams play for the title, and how many total goals scored in all the games. Enter online at www.xcelenergy.com

Maybe we can vote to see which is the worst away webcast, Choices could be: Harvard's empty arena and the no knowledge of hockey announcers, CC's scary Tiger head that appeared every few seconds, (still believe it was someone's screen saver that somehow got hooked up to the live feed.) Feel free to add to the list. I'll be taking a nap Friday afternoon and staying up for a Sioux victory on Friday night.

Here is the info regarding the 2009 College Classic in Florida ( I just got an email from the person in charge of it for this next year.) Dates: Tuesday, 12/29 Wednesday, 12/30 Participants: Cornell University University of Maine Colorado College Princeton University

Do you have to sign up or just show up for these buses?

Thanks for bringing back some great memories! Great outfits on the guys. In case anyone wants something like that I know a place in Beijing where you can find them. My wife bought me the black version of those threads.

Sounds like we have a place to tail gate before the games Sunshine and the Sioux in the winter sounds good to me!

Here's a link to past teams. TEAMS Maine goes each year. I know the sports writer from the Bangor Daily News. He said it's a great tourney.

That's what I was thinking too. That was the tourney that SCSU played in this year (DEc.27-28). I emailed the person in charge of the tourney down there and asked him what the dates were and who was playing for 2009. If I get an answer I'll post it here. It's held in Estero, FL which is close to Ft. Myers. If so.... I'll be wearing a Sioux hockey jersey on the beach next Dec.! The Florida College Hockey Classic is a college Division I men's ice hockey tournament played annually around New Years at the Germain Arena in Estero, Florida, .

Is the Notre Dame tourney the one they hold over the Christmas break near Ft. Meyer?

No it wasn't you unless you like to wear purple and you were carrying a cow bell. He was a Mankato fan. We have come a long way since October. Go Sioux!

I hope the guy that I spoke with on Oct.17th in our first conference weekend, in our 3rd game of the season, after one period of play in Mankato, said to me, "It looks like the Sioux aren't going to have a good year," is at the game this weekend! (How's that for a run on sentence!) Sioux will be ready for a good series. I'll be there and look for a Stick Salute on Saturday.

I thought for sure we would see Hextall in the background still floating at the end of the show! It's also fun to see the training room, weight room etc... I kept thinking of what recruits must think when they see our building.

I see that those that ordered the season tickets for the Final Five will be getting them in the mail soon! February 9, 2009 - Ticket Packages mailed.

Watched the morning skate today. Guessing Blood and Toews will sit tonight . That might have already been noted somewhere. SCSU was on the practice rink while we were on the main rink. Guys looked focused. Today is Brad Miller's birthday I believe. I'm hoping it will be one to remember for him!

You are right on AZ. There were a lot of shots that were pretty easy saves. We thought the same thing. My buddy does the stats in the press box and he said the same thing.

Just got back from the game. Very frustrating to see our team get beat. No fire in the legs. Very subdued crowd. Even the famous "Dog Pound" was pretty tame. Not scoring on the 5 on 3 really hurt. After watching the Sioux practice on Thursday night I thought we'd come out on fire.

TICKETS HAVE BEEN SOLD. GO SIOUX!

I just got back from watching the Sioux practice at the NHC in St. Cloud. Everyone looked sharp and Kozak was full speed. They ended practice with a shoot out competition. Everyone who scored went to one side of the ice and those that missed went towards the bench. Last two still scoring were Toews and Zajac. Even the coaches get to play. After it was all done they all dog piled the two goalies and pretended to beat them up. Pretty funny.

JUST GOT 2 MORE TICKETS FOR FRIDAY'S GAME VS. SCSU. At the end The Sioux shoot at twice. Lower Bowl. $30 a piece (face value) PM me if interested. We can meet before the game to make the exchange.

Pre-game social at Holiday Inn, corner of Division St and Hwy 15, 4PM to 6PM. on Saturday. I went last year, free food and some good conversation with Huskie fans.

ALL TICKETS ARE SOLD.

Just two tickets remain. The upper bowl, a bonus to these is that it's the end UND shoots at twice. I need to know tonight, Monday or they go to a Huskie woman!
