Obviously everyone noticed the not-so-subtle hint that UND's logo is not in step w/NCAA policy. From the black and white Sioux head on plastic cups to the interlocking ND on t-shirts for sale at the Frozen Four, it was more than noticeable. I did find some long-sleeve and short-sleeve t-shirts on the ECAC web site that show a small logo on front w/the school logos on back, including the Indian-head Sioux logo. Just thought I'd post the link here for those interested. Frozen Four Merchandise w/Real Sioux Logo

Vhat?

Anaheim's attendance was not good, but if memory serves me right, 3 of the 4 schools couldn't have been on more opposite ends of the USA (BC, Maine, and UNH). I was worried about Columbus and even though tickets were easy to come by, it was still the 7th-highest attended Frozen Four. Not too shabby, Columbus!

Yea, after slogging thru a winter in North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, New York, or Massachusetts, who would want to go to Miami in April anyways?

In defense of Josh, North Dakota was still the Dakota Territory when PCM was a junior in high school.

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I'm pretty sure the girl in the back row on the right in the second pic was working at "The Fox" in Columbus last Friday night!

Wearing my team's green Pizza Factory jerseys? Does that make me GM?

Girl you know it's true...guh guh guh girl Ooh ooh ooh I love you yes you know it's true...guh guh guh girl

Hey, isn't that George Gwozdecky's senior class photo?

Cheater! Well, uh, er, I guess I should fess up, too, then. I had them written on the inside pocket of my white sport jacket, which I was wearing over my pastel blue t-shirt, white pants, and boat loafers (no socks). (If you don't get the joke, cue the Miami Vice theme in your head right now and it should all come back to you).

Actually, cfm, I just looked at my CD collection, pulled out Vanilla Ice, and read the lyrics from there. It was right between Milli Vanilli and Richard Marx.

No...he just drove by Kept on pursuing to the next stop He busted a left and he's heading to the next block

I think I just saw Hak drive down 7th Street in St Paul...rollin' in his five-point-oh with the rag top down so his hair can blow.

VOTE FOR MAFIAMAN!

Wow. That's some serious ice.

"Midget strippers"? Did I leave The Platinum Fox a few minutes too early last Friday night or what?

Lefty McFadden Tournament? Miami and Michigan State? Someone get on the phone w/Al Pearson...it's time to fire up the Sioux bus for a return trip to Ohio!

Forecheck, what did you give away at this year's Frozen Four?

Thanks for the pics, PCM. I'm sorry I couldn't be there. You know what was really great about Columbus? Meeting Sioux fans from all over the United States who came out to support the team. I met alumni from New York, Columbus, Michigan, and Colorado, just to name a few places. We're not necessarily from Grand Forks, but some of us will always have a piece of our heart there.

I think we all say some things we regret later, DamStrait. I noticed the bump on the AA series thread and wow, we had quite the go-round there ourselves (meaning you and me). I agree w/what someone else wrote earlier. Pretty big of you to post this. I think we can both agree that we're already looking forward to next season.

My favorite funny of the season was up in Houghton. This series was over Thanksgiving weekend, one week after the UND/Michigan Tech football playoff game. During the Saturday Sioux/Huskie hockey game, things got out of hand near the end of a lopsided Sioux victory. Some fairly obvious penalties went uncalled and some of the locals were getting a bit ticked at the official and were pretty vocal about it. The Sioux brought the puck into the zone with about a minute left and a Tech defenseman literally tackles the guy (sorry, I can't remember the names). The referee blows the whistle (no penalty) as the puck was under the two players now laying on the ice. All is quiet and I stand up and yell: "Hey Schmidt, the football game was LAST Saturday" in reference to the nice tackle he made on the Sioux player. Again, I'm not sure what the kid's name was now, but I had the correct name at the game. I just put Schmidt 'cuz it's the first thing that came to mind here. Anyways, I heard several Huskie fans around me chuckle and looked below to the Sioux bench right in front of me and saw a few players bust out laughing. On a more personal note, it was also the weekend Jordan Parise spent his Friday night on the bench teasing my three year old by making scary faces at him and putting a piece of chewing gum on the boards for him to come and get. He also tossed me a puck after it deflected into the bench. I was pretty happy, but my son wanted to give it back and started crying, saying, "dad, they need it to play hockey." I pretended to toss it back, then put it in my bag for later. Every fan, security guard, and ticket taker I saw the following night walked by saying, "hey, there's the Sioux kid who didn't want the puck." Yep, that's my boy. Five months later, I still ask him who his favorite hockey player is and he shyly responds "Jordan Parise."
