what about the costs that fans spend to go to countless conference tournaments, regionals, FF or specialty games? get the F outta here with those stupid remarks

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. UND is D1 across the board, its time they start raising ticket prices to cover some of the athletic budget. The administration cannot afford to be North Dakota nice any longer and expect to be a major player in D1 athletics. The ticket prices will have no effect on how the players play, the could care less, to them its just another game. You people will honestly b$%^H about anything!

awful! there is a reason the blackhawks went away from the barbershop pole jerseys.

Not only did they charge a bunch but they tried doing the same thing that other schools did in the past, make you purchase 2-3 other games to get the UND game. The problem with the gophers is, they cannot sell out their games.

I don't see a problem with charging that much for a game of this magnitude. UND is a premier D1 hockey program and it is not out of line to charge this. Go to any other D1 school that has a premier sports program and you will see that the prices are about the same.

I count 5 on the black jersey and 5 on the whites. The way the ND with the bird logo gets on the jersey is by being on the shoulder patches. It will not be a main logo on the front of the jersey because its not really a logo you would put as a main focal point on a jersey. I still say get rid of the numbers in the middle of the jersey and move them to the upper left of the jersey. They will probably use the new style lettering and do somthing with the words "Fighting Hawks", "Hawks", and "North Dakota".

There is a lot that can be done. Reebox could totally redesign the jersey and have less stripes, no black armpit, etc... I would be willing to bet that there will be no logo on the front. I wouldnt mind seeing the number get moved to the upper front shoulder and seeing the word "Hawks" go in a diagonal way. A lot of times, less is better.

anything by collisum will look nothing like what they wear on the ice.

again, it is not a typical move from the twins. if you have watched the twins front office all season you would see that everything they (the new GM) are doing is nothing like the twins of old. i am willing to bet that there will be more moves all the way until the Twins season is done. For the twins to be successful they need to implode first and you will see it with some smart moves in the next coming weeks/months.

Not a typical twins move because they moved him right away for better/younger prospects. You need to remember that the new GM is working with a deplated farm system and old players that are not that great anymore. The new GM is making moves that Terry Ryan would never even think of.

It's going to be nice and hopefully the NCHC keeps the event at the Target Center. This league isnt the old WCHA, it's time to let the good old days of the Final Five die. Moving the league tournament to the Xcel will do more harm then good.

Lammy probably has more than enough money to live off of for a little while, he has a family (young kid probably getting ready to start school), just won his league's championship, what more does he have left in him? I think he would sit down with his family and discuss it if it were brought to his attention. Again, it may be a volunteer position in the eyes of the NCAA but they get paid. He also runs helps run his own hockey school.

He's was a volunteer in the NCAA's eyes but he got paid. For Brandt to take over the position he would need to get paid pretty good as he has a nice insurance business in Brainard. I could see it come down to Kollar, Eidsness or Lammy (this could be the job that gets him to retire from playing overseas).

i was going to say 1.50 pitchers at the DownUnder

I don't think so. The landscape of the conference realignment has changed so much that a venue change wouldn't do much for attendance. If they bring it to the Xcel, are we automatically going to get an extra 4-5000 fans? Very doubtful. A lot of these teams need time to develop a good rivalry between them before the NCHC takes off. I also believe that the NCHC wants to be known for their OWN tournament, not be known as a spin-off of the WCHA.

As long as UND is playing, I'll go watch. For people wanting it at the Xcel because of the atmosphere, I hate to tell you but that atmosphere that we once knew is not coming back. You could play any tournament at the best hockey arena in the country but you will never get that same feeling you get when you used to watch the old WCHA.

Are you kidding me with that garbage post? Hakstol brought a new level of hockey to the program and with that, he brought a lot of NHL talent. Hakstol was/is not arrogant, I have no idea where you would think that. Also, why would the ice be "thin" in Philly? They had a huge roster problem before he got there and they are in the midst of changing it up.

Ya, the Wild are missing more than one piece but Oshie would be a great piece to add. Not sure whos numbers you are looking at but Parise's numbers have pretty much stayed the same except for the two years in NJ (08-09, 09-10). He's also never played a full season here in Minnesota.

The NCHC is important as we saw this year. Yes, the regional is important due to making it to the frozen four but if you lose on Friday, you're done. At least at the NCHC you get to watch two games for sure.

If I have to choose between the NCHC at the Target Center vs a regional in Sioux Falls, I'm taking the Target Center all day. I have abosolutly no desire to go to Sioux Falls for a 1 game guarantee. The Target Center is not horrible people. The ones who are complaining the most are the ones who currently do not go to the NCHC tournament. The TC is a decent arena for hockey and all the establishments around it make it a fun time.

shouldn't there be a mob of people with pitchforks and torches? instead of having the civil rights people on UND's campus, why dont they just do the whole NDSUS system? ya know, to save some time... Signed: Non-Management

What direction did the hockey team take? String of conference regular season and post season titles? Consistently in the running for a National Championship? Attracting high end talent for many years? Could you please give me detail? Thanks *non-management

No, they have not been great ambassadors for UND. UND was forced to change their nickname from the Fighting Sioux but yet every where they go they say they are #FightingSiouxProud or they rip off their USA jerseys to show them wearing a sioux jersey. If they were such great amassadors for the University, they would've helped UND with the nickname transition instead of fighting them on it. For me, its always been about them and their agenda and frankly I am sick of it. Now my school is getting drug through a worthless claim about female civil rights because some ladies can't get over that their damn program was cut. It has shown that these kids (not just the twins) have been handed everything in life and if they don't get what they want, they stomp their feet/cry and then they sue.

Well you weren't missed.
