Tickets are sold. Thanks for all the interest!

I've got four tickets together for Friday night (October 13th) against Army in Section 306 Row C. Great view of the ice and player benches. Easy to watch plays develop with no obstructions. UND shoots on this end twice. Easy access to beverages (organ bar right next door and beer/drink stand right outside our section) and the Red Pepper stand. These seats can't be beat! Looking to get $100 total for all four. I would also consider splitting into two and two. I can accept PayPal, Venmo, or cash and can transfer the tickets instantly. Please reply below or send a text if you're interested. Here's to hockey! Dave Berger Mobile: 218.779.9872

If UND knocks off a #1 seed in Fargo, that would feel like more than just "meh" to me. Dave

One key storyline next weekend is that Denver is absolutely locked in (100% of all scenarios) as the #3 overall seed in the NCAA tournament and St. Cloud State is nearly locked in (98%) as the #7 overall seed. By contrast, Colorado College and North Dakota need to win two games at the X to keep playing. Dave

I know that was the stat displayed inside the arena on Saturday night, but it's actually the 2nd time in 21 years (or the 3rd time in 28 years)... March 8-9, 2002 at Minnesota (2-7 L, 3-4 OTL) March 15-16, 2019 at Denver (0-2 L, 2-4 L) Prior to 2002, the last time UND was on the road for the first round of the conference playoffs was in 1995. The last time UND had home ice and did not advance to the league semifinals was in 1996. That means that from 1997-2022, North Dakota hosted the first round 22 times and advanced 22 times. During that stretch, UND went on the road twice and got swept twice, missing the WCHA Final Five in 2002 and the NCHC Frozen Faceoff in 2019. (There was no NCHC tourney in 2020, and the format was modified in 2021.) Dave
