  1. I know the Thurs is probably a package and I don't think I would get through 2 games with him, so not sure if it could be done only for the night game, but a better option could be the Sat. if available then if anybody has that as an option?

  2. I have never been to a frozen four and thinking about possibly going and taking my 5 yr old since our favorite team didn't make it to the Faceoff or this. If anybody has 2 tickets out there you might not be using for Thurs or Sat. let me know. Thanks

  3. Anybody else not like this non loyalty and transferring so easily? I know you need to play the game to keep up, but I feel like there isn’t as much heart in coming to the place you first wanted and they wanted you playing with that purpose. When I was a student getting to know the players for the 4 years they were there made you want it so much more for them. Gone are those days I guess and maybe because I am getting older and further away from the game but it is just very different now when I took my 4 yr old to that St Cloud game at the X. Haven’t been to GF for about 15 yrs so maybe that might bring back more passion but I just don’t connect with the stories of these players anymore though Schloss does a great job trying to get us all to connect somehow. I know people say the name change and logos have nothing to do with lack of success lately but I beg to differ because we aren’t as intimating with that image and history on our side because we don’t know who we are and are reaching for pieces just like others.

  4. Yes!!! I am the person who never wins raffles or anything like this ever. Took a whole minute to make picks just like when we are in it and always pick us all the way. Just did the same with my next favorite team since I like Sandy and taught JT Brown back in his high school days so why not Dulute!

  5. * Crossing Fingers * I haven't posted much lately, but it is fun to be in the running here after being an original board person from the beginning (just didn't start an account right away), but it is fun to look back through the archives at old names from back in the original years! This site is much appreciated and a great way to connect and keep updated!

  6. There is the mental aspect of the game when opponents line up and if you don't have the same look and feel it might take some time to get that back again with intimidation that we have built up over the years with a little birdie on the front of our jerseys. Once people are seeing that we are beatable that can go a long way so we need to rebuild that again.

  7. Is our program too big that these smaller schools are where they draw players that are more likely to get it done now? Look at the bigger more traditional teams from the past with rich traditions that aren't making it now. I personally don't think it is old time North Dakota hockey and think that line is just a way to keep the traditions they know are slipping away.

  8. I am not giving up on the team and didn't intend for this conversation to go this way, but doesn't anybody else feel this huge change with the overall program since the new arena, conference, name. Just feels like there is less passion in the program, definitely not questioning us fans though but with everything so much bigger it is simply going through the motions and thinking winning will come easy and then it doesn't and college hockey is more of a stepping stone for the next level which us fans are okay with but us die hards want the UND to win more than anything else.

  9. Name change and WCHA breakup nothing feels quite like Nodak hockey anymore. Not making excuses, but not playing for the history and honor of a name as we used to things are out of whack and we are just like any other team out there now.

  10. The adding color might be the way to keep more people happy on both sides of the fence. How do we get this out to the important decision makers higher up than us? Would they even listen? Mafia could make me want to buy one like this if we could get this thing going! Just like the game worn logo, only with a twist that everyone would want!
