So using that as the criteria, Bowling Green and Northern Michigan have noteworthy programs while UNH does not. Colorado College’s last NCAA title came in 1957, but they make the cut, eh? UNH lost the 1999 NCAA title game in OT to Maine by a score of 3-2. In 2003, their star player was injured in the semi-finals and unable to play against Minnesota in the championship game. The result there was inevitable, unfortunately, for the Wildcats.

Oh, he had a plan to fix Maine and he wanted fo be in Orono badly. Montgomery would have been to Maine was Dean Blais was to North Dakota.

UNH hockey dates back to 1926 and the Wildcats have 20+ NCAA tournament appearances along with 7 Frozen Fours since 1977. Just because they have not won a national championship doesn’t mean they lack history and tradition.

Schools that I would enjoy seeing make a return to the upper echelon of the college hockey landscape: 3) UNH. The Wildcats have a storied history and have just never been able to get over the hump. The last few years of the Dick Umile regime were rather painful to watch. Let’s hope things are on the upside soon. 2) Lake Superior State. The glory days of 1988, 1992, and 1994 are a long ways back in the rear-view mirror. It would be nice to see this school make a comeback sometime soon. Those jerseys, too, with the anchor on them...beautiful. 1) Maine. Oh, man, Paul Kariya has been gone a long time and this school really missed the boat on hiring his teammate Jim Montgomery as head coach when the opportunity was theirs for the taking. The Black Bears simply need to return to being a top tier program - and the sooner, the better.

Well, we can’t all be as cool as Notre Dame and the legendary stories of...Manti Te’o and the dead girlfriend Heisman Hoax campaign...

“No poppin’ the jersey...obviously.”

I believe that’s a helicopter partially covered up by the NCHC and W patches...kind of overkill on the design.

Gotcha. They’re a little gaudy for my taste too.

It was the anniversary of Pearl Harbor...what’s the problem?

How could we forget? I knew you were handy to have around here for something!

RIGHT! As @ringneck28 can attest to, we like mimosas and happy endings around these parts.

Your thoughts on the infamous Blake Wheeler jersey pop from 2007?

Speaking only for myself and my position of right wing with Red Army of the Roseville co-rec league, I can confirm that I have no defensive responsibilities. I’m not sure that that’s typical, though.

I’d be curious to know what NHL opportunities assistant coach Matt Shaw “passed on” in that time frame...

Bush League.

Nice to pull out a win last night in KalamaZZZZoo.

Must be the dark beer you’re drinking...

Sooo disappointed in this, cberkas. You’re better than that.

Sad news out of Dickinson yesterday...God bless you, Coach Flaherty, and thank you for the memories each summer at Badlands Basketball Camp. https://www.thedickinsonpress.com/news/accidents/4806691-NDHP-identify-man-killed-in-fatal-accident-on-State-Avenue

Interesting theory...sounds like a tough job.

It's only a matter of time before he controls everything and the only way you can buy a box of cold cereal and milk is to pay him $100 and have him ship it to you.

It's unbelievable what has happened at malls all over the country since the glory days of the 1980's and early 1990's.

With all due respect, Midwestern Hawk, are you REALLY surprised that a kid would pick North Dakota State over Rutgers?
