Don't get fired now. Back to work! At least you will be home to watch the tail end of the gophers/CC.

Fuher on fire. Possibly another shorty now?

We need another quick start and the first goal to win this.

Who? Sioux underway.

Phil in goal, Murray in the there?

3-1 Denver.

Goal Denver 2-1. It's over now they are heavily outshooting Tech. SIOUX TIME!!!

2 man advantage Denver.

Good games. I wish I had them. Once our game starts we will need updates often, especially with all WCHA teams in action against each other this weekend.

Good it is working now and they are warmin up. At least it is something to do until our game starts in 30 minutes.

Not many people in attendance at Tech. I hope once they start play the camera angle does as well.

(Tech/Denver video link until our game starts, need to click on broadcast link) http://www.athletics.mtu.edu/huskiesradio.html Darren McCarty dropped the puck and Denver and Tech, score is 1-1 after 1.

I was just searching the net to find Sensers' phone number to see if I could make reservations and stumbled upon this, I hope these girls are there tomorrow! I really hope they can win because it would be awesome to arrange a viewing party at grandmas in Duluth next Saturday. I would think the football game would be during the day on ESPN2 and then go to the hockey game. We would probably be rowdier and a little more tipsy than the penalty box crew. That would be a first for them to be outdone.

Here is the Alaska audio link in case ours doesn't work again or the UND audio if it is working. Currently the music is working so hopefully the game will as well. I will be staying home and listening instead of going out so I can keep an eye on the UM/CC game later. I will be at the bar all day tomorrow watching Sioux football win and hockey do the same at night. For those of you watching dataflix or satellite at home if you could chime in every once in a while to describe what you see that would be fantastic! GO SIOUX!

What a strange ritual! A sign should be made. I remember when Kollar always needed to be the last off the ice after warm ups and at the final five one year St. Cloud I think had a few players waiting him out just to throw him off his rhythm.

They sold me each jersey for $80. If I was one of those idiots that buys Sioux jerseys just to resell on ebay I am sure I could get more. (i.e. Ferchick or Grosso) I probably shouldn't have said anything about this because now somebody will go and buy the rest of them and ruin it for the rest of us. I don't know if this is their usual rate or not but they had so many different teams jerseys there it was unbelievable. They said they had a few Sioux left. The Edina Hornets jersey was sweet! I told him that if they had the authentics next year they would probably sell very well. Although it does kind of ruin the novelty of having one if everybody does.

THANK YOU SO MUCH DAKID!!! I went to Gemini today and bought 2 authentic jerseys! They are unbelievable! The guy I talked to told me that they will more than likely be making the Sioux jerseys again next year due to unhappiness with Nike. The reason they started with Nike was because they received some free gifts but now are not. If they start making the jerseys next year, they are unsure if authentic jerseys will be on the racks. The jerseys they will have for sure, if the deal goes through are the ones at Scheels that don't have stitching on the sleeves and lack the WCHA stitching. The guy also said that these might be found at Home of Economy because they sold them a bunch awhile back. Their goal is to take over the WCHA and currently make for St. Cloud, Mankato, CC and Denver. Wisconsin and Minnesota would be tough though I am sure. They had the first geometric jersey they ever made for the Sioux which was a white Peter Armbrust jersey. Unfortunately not for sale but it was really neat though the stitching was poor and outdated. The guy said many players go in there still to get their own jerseys made because the schools don't let them keep any of them. I was surprised to hear this because they get everything else, i.e. 20 cases of beer at the G.F. airport upon return of their 2000 championship. One other note, they had a picture of the 2000 team autographed and said they enjoy it when the gophers lose.

I can't wait for Duluth! I could care less if it isn't a featured matchup because it will still be very entertaining with many Sioux fans in attendance. Just think of how much fun it will be to watch our football team in the championship game on ESPN at grandmas with many other Sioux fans on the road, then go watch hockey!!!

Thanks for the info. dog. I hope it is what I want. I was very dissapointed when I didn't get the jersey I bid for last year just to get the detailed Sioux face.

I have been looking for Gemini jerseys ever since I heard they weren't selling them anywhere anymore. I know that many of you have been doing the same, since next to the real game worn nike jerseys nothing else is the same especially the Indian face. i.e. Koronis or the mesh ones. Word was that Gemini quit making the jerseys because nike took over and the demand was down and could only be acquired through very large orders. I have called the sioux shop a few times in the past to find out if they have any shiny jerseys other than Koronis without any luck. But tonight, when I checked on another order, the girl told me to call Scheels because she knew of somebody who had purchased one a couple of months ago. Sure enough the manager said he had ordered a bunch a long time ago but was now out and he couldn't order anymore. He told me to check the Fargo Scheels and they had a bunch of each color still. She assured me that it said Gemini, but didn't have the WCHA logo or gemini logo on the shoulder. I have tried various searches on the Internet and have determined that Gemini might not be making jerseys at all now for any team because I couldn't find anything. I decided to order because I know they can't be found anywhere else. Hopefully when I receive the jersey it is what I am looking for. I couldn't believe it but it must be true. Just wanted to let you all know because I knew others were looking awhile back and weren't happy with how the Koronis looked. Fargo Scheels 3202 13th Ave. South (701) 298-2918

The past five years I tried to collect an official game puck from each WCHA team. I knew 3 players in the league that picked them up for me and I was hoping that each would have the WCHA logo on the back but Mankato and Alaska didn't. The only one with advertising on it was North Dakota otherwise the others had WCHA in white lettering or bronze on the back. The other thing that I thought made it a game puck was that it had a white ring around the logo on the front saying the name of the team, but Mankato, Alaska and Duluth didn't. I don't know if this has changed, but they are from the past years.

I noticed they have some new pucks on siouxshop.com. I don't know how to transfer pictures here. A neat Ralph Englestad and a 2004-2005 puck. I have a puck that is white and says 2002-2003, did they have one for '03-'04? Just curious because I didn't visit the arena last year and enjoy collecting different Sioux pucks. Perhaps they will be doing one for each season now. Anybody have one with the blackhawk logo they would be willing to sell? If so, send me message through this site. Just wanted to let collectors know!
