Publisher's Note: Fanatics Jerseys – Made in Canada - The Hockey News

JohnsonsJerseys is not selling knock-offs. I know the guy (actual last name is Johnson, hence the name JohnsonsJerseys) and he only deals with game worn jerseys.

Mankato paid Hastings very well, as they knew if they wanted to be a serious hockey program they were going to have to pay. I think it would be more of a lateral move pay wise for him to go from UND to Mankato.

YES!!!!!

Have you seen our fanbase lately? Take a look at that garbage facebook group "all things fighting sioux". We used to be a knowledgeable fan base but now we are just a bunch of whiny babies who want to get drunk, fight, talk crap and pop our counterfeit chinese sioux jerseys.

Now that Barry Alvarez is no longer the AD, I doubt it will take him long to turn that program around. They see the success that Penn State, Minnesota and Michigan have going on in hockey and they won't stand for it.

Small market or not, Berry still needs to respect (and I am sure he does) all the questions Brad would ask.

That's an honest take and actually I would agree with it. No one really knows what is going on behind the scenes, but what we do know is that this team underperformed BIG TIME this year and some changes were/are being made.

Yes, they could've been great but they also could've regressed in their development. It's no different than a 1st round pick getting his deal and then never even making it passed the AHL and moving onto foreign leagues. I am just saying that the portal can work in both parties' interests. We all know that Berry isn't going to let his assistants go so why not let the player leave that isn't able to do what they are coaching. You are correct in the fact that our "favorite" beat writer should be asking harder questions, instead of giving us a some lame duck article on who is all in the transfer portal and how it's an anomaly.

There is a lot to read, and I honestly do not want to go back and read it all, so if this has been covered, I apologize. What if most of these players that are entering the transfer portal have been told by the staff that they should enter it? Let's be honest most of these players that are entering it didn't play or were not overly exciting as players and Berry think's that they aren't going to get better. The portal has been a detriment to college sports, but it also is a good way to clean house from players that aren't cutting it anymore.

75 schools that have D1 men's lacrosse and all of them are pretty much out East. You thought women's hockey was expensive, lacrosse at UND would more than likely have a huge cost just on travel alone.

anyone can retweet anything they want without thinking about it. The fact remains that ever since the Gophers went to the B10 any rivalry that was had with WCHA schools is no longer. If you and I were sitting at Willy McCoy's (enjoying 2-1 in Bloomington) watching the UND/Gopher game this past season, you could honestly tell me the players for the Gophers like you would've back in the day when Riddle, Potulny, Vanek, Tallackson, Guyer, Brigs, Martin Vannelli, Peltier Wheeler, Stoa, Chucko, Pohl, Anderson, Hirsch, Frazee?

This was not Cheer's and everyone saying goodbye at the end of the night to Norm (aka Eades), he made his own bed and was let go by Hak.

I'd be willing to bet that the intern who wrote that will probably be retracting that tweet...

I would say that we haven't been rivals since we went our different ways years ago. I remember watching the Sioux/Gopher games back in the WCHA and you knew who played for the UofM but nowadays, I am willing to bet majority of us UND fans couldn't name more than 3 players on the team.

Or how about the one's that are complaining about the pairwise and wanting to get rid of auto-bids because UND wasn't in the tournament...

These are the trendy things to wear nowadays

They certainly should have a larger media market to utilize but when majority of the metro does not give two craps about UofM hockey (and it shows due to fans not going to games), who's going to know these hockey players that are promoting products? The businesses in Grand Forks should be lining up an NIL program for UND's athlete's (be it hockey, BBall, Football). The athletes in Grand Forks are the closest thing to professionals Grand Forks will ever see on a regular basis and businesses like Hugo's, Rydell's, Italian Moon, Grand Auto Mart, Wahlen's, North Dakota Eye Clinic, Scheel's, etc.. should be wanting to utilize these athletes. UND cannot afford to sit back on this and not utilize this NIL to further our programs.

No way....

You are correct, Miami has regressed ever since that runner-up finish and it doesn’t seem like the school cares.

It's not like Miami of Ohio is making the league strong (8-24-4). Rico is only in his second year and needs another year or two to fully implement his system with his own guys. Let's also no forget that Augustana is going to have a D1 program here soon. Might not be the prettiest team to start out but I believe they are showing the hockey world they want to compete right away. They even have their own NIL marketplace for their student athletes. If the NCHC truly wants to this tournament to continue they need to start looking at local teams. This notion that fans from Western MI, and Miami are going to come to St. Paul (even if their teams don't make it) to watch the conference tournament is a pipedream.

For a school that pissed and moaned to get into the NCHC, they should be one of the biggest supporters.

I'm speaking about the fans. It's unbelievable that they couldn't get in their cars for the 77 mile trip to support their team

If they add St. Thomas you might as well go for Mankato

can't be any worse than St. Cloud
