UND hasn't had a down year in hockey since King Blais brought us that 16-19-2 winning season back in 01-02.
-
No, what I am saying is Hak kept this program at the top, every year he was here. I did say that other people would have a valid point for making the argument that BC was more successful. What your not understanding (due to your hatred towards Hak) is the kind of success he had. With all the parity in college hockey, what coach at UND or any University can say they were year in and year out one of the favorites to win, during Hak's tenure? You got your wish, Hak gone and a national championship. If UND has one season that is under .500 and miss the NCAA tournament, you better be calling for Berry's head (not that I see that happening).

Chuck Fletcher needs to be relieved of his duties...
-
Congrats to Hak on winning his first playoff game!
-
If we ended up being a lower seed, we don't go to Cincy and we sure as heck wouldn't have played Michigan or Denver.
-
I think Grimaldi was slightly overrated as a college player. Skated fast and moved around a lot but always was pounding his stick on the ice as if he thought he was going to score every time he touched it. Never really got the vibe from him that he was ever fully "on-board" at UND.

Jamestown does not have the infrastructure to facilitate a full fledged D1 program. I imagine D3 would be the highest they could go.

http://bringmethenews.com/2016/04/20/report-big-ten-football-basketball-moving-to-fox-sports-from-espn/ I know it is B10 football and basketball but does anyone think this might affect hockey? UND isn't going to the B10 unless it gets TV revenue and with the Midco contract coming up, does UND take everything in-house and sign a deal with Fox? I just saw this and it got 500 questions running through my head all at once!
-
I would start by contacting the University first and see what would need to be done. I'm guessing if they get enough requests for it, they would put in a request to ESPN (through the NCAA because lets not forget, the NCAA needs their share) to start the process.
-
I would be willing to bet that the NCAA has some licensing agreement with ESPN to sell championship DVD's if there was a high demand for them.
-
you obviously don't collect gamers and understand how it works. if UND enters the postseason as the number one overall seed, they will wear the home colored jerseys 9x out of 10, thus only wearing one color (could be more but unlikely). if UND enters at a lower seed, the equipment manager puts the FF patch on all the jerseys as they are not the team who dictates the color. this specific year they only wore the green jerseys because they played in the semifinal game. also, it wouldn't take you long to find out who this person is. he posted a picture of said jersey on this thread not too long ago.
-
Well written but in reality, it's a pipe dream. UND does not fit the B10 mold as a school; strike one. The B10 wouldn't give up any TV revenue to UND and UND would want some of it; strike two. UND does not need the B10 conference or any of those schools, they are doing just fine playing other out of conference games.
-
They changed their nickname 15 years ago, Fighting Hawks is not even a year old! Everyone always says that it takes time for wounds to heal and for most alumni/fans, it will take a long time.
-
Some would and would have a good point. I'm saying that in Hak's tenure, he never missed an NCAA tournament (BC did in 09) and was always challenging for a title. Without that consistency , I don't think you get Boeser (was going to go to Wisconsin) or Ausmus (was going to go to Denver) or any other talented player over the past few years. In closing, yes it is Berry who coached this team to a title but don't forget that it was Hak who really laid the foundation over the last 11 yrs to get to this point.
-
FACT: Hakstol kept the program as the most successful, consistent team over the past 11 years in NCAA Hockey. If he doesn't keep them at the top, none of these kids even consider coming to UND (i.e. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Denver). The big test for Berry (which I don't think will be a problem) is to keep them at the top now every year.
-
That's like me (or anyone else on here) saying that the hockey team will lose a few underclassman to pro contracts...
-
chalk up another wrong answer.... Do you ever get tired of being wrong?
-
Don't beat me up for this but if Zane stayed, do we win the title?
-
Coaching staff knows who is going and who will stay.
-
It will probably be good for Johnson to be gone. He was a good player but I think his development at UND has peaked and a change of scenery will be good for him.
-
Where does Johnson go? I said this yesterday, Aaron Dell's stock was high after 2011 and he could only sign with a CHL team.
-
Aaron Dell thought he was going to get signed after his Jr year but it didn't happen like he thought. Unless you are putting up Ryan Miller numbers, chances are you are staying. Not too surprised about Boeser leaving, there was a report I read that Vancouver even told him to stay. If given the opportunity, it would be hard not for the guys to leave. I mean you just won a Natty and now someone is shoving a big signing bonus in front of your face...
-
Low blow for sure but I get what you mean. He is a typical Gopher rube who thinks the Gophers do no wrong, there is a reason (outside of his drug problems) that he does not work for any major news outlet. Not sure what game he that he saw but I did not see any illegal hits on Saturday night, it was nothing but a fast and physical game both sides played. On top of that, he is the one with no class; what did he expect when he wrote that after UND won? What a frickin moron...
