Oh yea....Eades should be thanking his lucky stars that Hak brought him on board when he did. Again, this guy was an assistant at UND but then went to the HS ranks for a long time until Hak plucked him back and now he has moved onto his 2nd Jr team a few short years. You ever stop and wonder why his name never comes up as a viable HC when their are open positions available?

They are up in Richfield. Tailgate's airs all the games on tv and has good beer specials.

Your proud of when they lose? C'mon! I'll meet you at frenchman's pub or tailgate sports cafe and we can discuss it more.

Those early 90's teams were not talentless either. I am not saying we are getting out recruited either but whatever is not working needs to be fixed. Also, its not just their play either that upsets me. When the captain of the team says: “We’re struggling to find goals and it sucks, but I couldn’t be more proud of our guys. I’m more proud to be a Sioux tonight than some other nights when we win, because that was one of the most complete games I’ve seen us play.” That really grinds my gears!

You forgot to mention these: 16-17: Knocked out of the first round NCAA 17-18: Missed the NCAA, first non 20 win season 18-19: Lost and Tied to Bemidji State, Swept by Canisius and first and second loss to an Atlantic Hockey program, potentially missing the Frozen Faceoff, potentially missing the NCAA again. I am afraid that this program is going down the path of the LATE LATE 80's and early 90's programs. However, this is what people on this site wanted, ONE national championship and mediocrity for a few years. I don't think this is a Berry coaching problem but it's his team and he better fix it.

I like Eades as a coach (smart hockey guy) but there is a reason he is where he is at.

We all have spent a lot of money traveling the past decade. I never said anyone was clueless or that they do not know a ton about college hockey (not sure where that came from) but I am pointing out that this is exactly what some people wanted. Don't worry though, at this rate you nor I will have to spend that much money on regionals or FF for a long time.

As a captain, he should be more concerned about his teams play than referring himself as a Sioux hockey player (because he is not).

It's okay though, majority of posters on this site were willing to have bad years just win a national championship.

I know you are a troll but you don't decide %^&. I am so frustrated with this team that your annoying shtick is unnecessary at this moment.

You said good coaching wins nattys. So you basically implied that Hak was not a good coach...

the interlocking ND patch on the shoulder is what should be on this style of jersey, its just not a good ND patch. After reading your comment and looking at the pictures more, I think you are referring to a different jersey then what I was talking about

The Sioux logo isn't correct, the WCHA logo that is embroidered on the right shoulder is incorrect, the nike swoosh on the chest is incorrect and the tag on the inside of the jersey is incorrect. Also, authentic nike dazzle didn't go by sizing of XL, they went by the sizing of 52, 54, 56.

look at this one. first one i have seen with dazzle material

It doesn’t matter what you or the ticket holders say, the team is the one who chose it.

Biggest in conference rival or not, both teams need to play better. At this point I'd pay a premium for the Mankato series over this one.

What happened to the SSM pipeline? Are the players there not good enough? I do like to see local players on the roster but when some of them are not that great, what's the point?

Hak is 50 yrs old. You are talking like he is done coaching....

At least we were making it on a consistent basis. Unlike what we have now....

So winning one national championship followed by years of crappy seasons trumps 10+ years of consistent play and always putting us in a good position to win. I'm sorry but I'll take consistent play over 1 natty and years of missing the tournament. When your only argument is "hak hasn't won the big game as a player or coach", you really lose credibility to anyone who actually knows anything about hockey. Get out of here with your one point argument that has no point.

dynamite drop in...

Ron Hextall was brought in to do MAJOR cleanup on a roster that had no depth or farm system and a crap ton of bloated contracts. He was in the midst of it but his one fault was he never went after a solid #1 goalie and that is what has affected them the most in the past 4 years. I am afraid that Hak will be gone in due time and it doesn't have anything to do with her performance. He was given a !@#!$ team and was expected to turn them into champions.

This is what all the Fire Hak people wanted. 1 national championship and then years of mediocrity

Take your own advice and understand the power of the dollar. UND has all the leverage come 2030. They may renegotiate with the REA but I can guarantee that it won’t benefit the Engelstad foundation.

The current contract is supposed to be negotiated yearly. 11 years and 2 months, this will not be an issue.
