Any other for-sures? I can now confirm that our late good friend @sprig‘s son and wife will be there along with Mrs. @sprig. She knows that Tim had many friends on this board and is looking forward to seeing some of them on Saturday!

@Wilbur @Goon

Alright, let’s do it. 11:30 am on Saturday at the Hoggsbreath in Little Canada. It’s typically pretty quiet around that time so we’ll have the place to ourselves mostly. Good food, good eats, good storytelling. Can I get a head count so I can give the owners an idea of how many are attending? Right now, it’s officially 1: me.

11 am isn’t better for those who are 40 miles from home with nothing to do until 7:37 pm LOL!

Noon? 1 pm?

If you’re in, @Wilbur, then I am too! Let’s do it, folks! Now the question is, what time? I get that some folks are taking in the Wild game, but 11 am is a bit early given the 7:37 pm championship game time, no? Noon? 1 pm?

Sounds like @sprig’s family will be making an appearance. I have a special presentation for them — long overdue as these gifts were to have been given to Tim’s grandkids two years ago. You won’t want to miss this.

I need some more commits before putting this together. We used to get 20-25 people in a good year and in 2013, I believe we had over 75.

Well, the Hawks are coming to town next weekend…thats 1/2 of the battle. Anyone else interested in reviving this tradition?

For playing the Malcom in the Middle “circle game”?

They’re just a tiny Iron Range school - suburban Duluth’s Miracle on Ice every single year.

Just gonna throw this out there… After a two-year hiatus, I’m pondering bringing back this formerly-annual WCHA Final Five/NCHC Frozen Faceoff tradition. Is anyone interested in seeing this happen again?

Shameless bump. I have mock-up artwork available for a look at if you are potentially interested.

Anyone else interested in some sublimated Sioux jerseys? I have a list going for 3 different styles.

Points taken. I was there several weeks ago for the 2nd game against Michigan. There were several dozen folks walking around with hand-held signs reminding people to wear your mask.

National champ and Olympic bronze medalist. Time for a new statue out in front of REA?

Juwaan’s not going anywhere. Nice “suck it” chop by some third rate assistant from WI too. Classy. Back on topic, did anyone check on @DrunkHockeyGuy on the way out of town? I’m sure he’s still blowing up Twitter.

Not sure how much he did to help…just sayin’

REALLY? What’s LIU’s secret? Maybe Minnesota needs to call them and ask how to double their usual attendance at Mariucci.

I’m old enough to remember being told that leaving the WCHA was the cure-all for bad officiating.

I was initially opposed, but have come around on the idea. I think it’s high-time that the NCHC formally extend an invitation to the Arizona Coyotes to join the conference.

No better time to ask than right after a big road sweep, right?

Don’t want to get ahead of myself, but after a two-year absence, is it possible we might have a SiouxSports.com reunion st the Hoggsbreath in a few weeks?

@brianvf is using the art of sarcasm well.
