Our Lady of South Bend kept their rights to their NBCSN deal so they get nothing.
And are probably better off for it. Is their move to the PIG10 just hockey?

This was the year for both them and Denver.
Because, our guys feel that there is unfinished business. IMHO the loss of Tucker for the NCAA's sat wrong in a lot of players heads. They knew that they had a special thing going and had to wonder what he would have meant in that BU game. I guess this team learned, albeit late in the season, what it took to win night in and night out. Next year is going to be special, 180 days till puck drop.

Think about the economic impact for GF of this move, it has little impact to the local economy. How many people travel to see any of the given sports? I would say that the major 4 of M/WBB FB and MH draw from more than the city. People like me actually make a trip to GF which includes hotel stay, food, gas and some other local money spent all to go to a hockey game on my part. This happens with the 4 major sports and the rest of the sports I would say are peripheral. Kennedy definitely gets it, but apparently people are skeptical that he does get it.

Did they say which conference the officials for last night's game were from?
It was the same crew that worked the game between UND/BU

You're talking NBA and NFL...what about the NHJHL?
I am sure I am going to pay for this, but NHJHL, OH, I just got it, never mind. In all reality, the success that Hak had in taking the team to the playoffs in year 1 and just being eliminated from contention in the last week says a lot. Philly was supposed to be a rebuild and he has accelerated their success.

It's rare for a college coach to jump right to the NHL...and the jury is still out on the Hakstol experiment.
Larry Brown and Pete Carroll did real well, oh you mean in the Saturday morning mimosa league.

Lots of talk on here about the 2017-18 season, Who are the opponents? Who do we only see once in conference?

your kidding right?
nope, not one bit, but lets just go down this road a little. Big 12, who moves A&M, Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri. Where they go, SEC, Pac 10 and Big 10. So there are 4 conferences that had movement. Big East, Which one do you want? ACC minus SC and Maryland, Stable? Conference USA, again, which one? Do you get the picture, there are going to be changes. I could go on and on, Summit, MVC, Big Sky, they have all had changes and will continue. The days of having a conference be the same teams for 20-30 yrs I fear are gone. UND is doing what it choses is the best for UND and there are a lot of North Dakotans who have been clamoring for UND and NDSU to be playing against each other in more than one or 2 sports. Well, I for one applaud UND for making these moves.

You need to spend more time following college athletics if you've never heard of the AAC. No, it doesn't have the name recognition of the B10 or any other major conference but the teams in the AAC are much higher profile than the alphabet soup that is the MVC:
Cincinnati, UConn, East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, South Florida, SMU, Temple, Tulane, Tulsa and Central Florida
or
Bradley, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Loyola-Chicago, Northern Iowa, Missouri State, and Southern Illinois.
Is this the old Conference USA? Cause that is a revolving door too, so may be a bigger name schools, but I see teams that have all been in other leagues in the past 4-5 year. Get used to it, there is movement in college sports and will be until the P5 split off and do their own thing. As far as following college sports, doe kay.

This was reason #1 many were not in favor of moving to the unstable summit, and mvfc. We're not even in the conferences yet and already need to be concerned about major changes as the ever revolving door keeps turning.
Unstable Summit or MVC? First of all, the Summit is actually quite stable for Basketball and the MVC for football is also stable. Am I missing something? The reason that UND left the Big Sky was travel. This is going to make the Summit and MVC more stable with teams closer. Wichita is a one trick pony and losing them in the MVC basketball is going to hurt that conf. but that isn't UND's problem. The move for Wichita is head scratching because they are moving from a conference that is a great bb conf. to one I don't think I have heard of.

call me stupid but if you have your best player blow a skate...don't you take your timeout to buy yourself some time or at least have your goalie adjust a strap deep in his breezers for a minute or two?

Sorry, after Duluth pulled the dirty plays out of the bag in the championship, I can't pull for them. Think about it, 1st series we play against them Soucy takes out Boesser. He had to sit for a while after he tried gutting out a series in Minneapolis to follow. Second series we play them Soucy takes out Jost. Then the championship game because Soucy is out, Pionk takes out Tucker and for good measure, runs Cam. For one minute, you can't tell me this is coincidence. I thought they took out a few other players this year too. If that is what you have to do to win, then watch out next year, paybacks are a bugger.

Are there guys who are drafted who don't go on to play pro hockey? What round was he drafted in.

This was funny, if maybe a little concerning. Will be wary of anyone drinking mimosas at all future UND hockey games I attend...
Thanks, I get it that it is tough for some to follow our inside jokes. In all seriousness, don't think that we are all anti women sports on here. We all love UND and want what is best for UND. I don't know if you a resident of ND, but I am and I ask that my tax dollars be spent wisely. In the case of women's hockey, that wasn't being done. Sorry for being so blunt, but I call a spade a spade. If the Olympians think this is a great way to grow the game, then I think USA hockey needs to pay for some of the continual loses.

Well-said, @ringneck28, but you're quoting Rule 6, not Rule 7. Rule 7 pertains to the "Traditional Circle of Sticks." Easy to confuse with that, ahem, "other" circle.
Oh Darn, I think I have the 1997 rule book before the rules changed in 2012. All these circles around UND hockey have my head spinning. Speaking of circles, do we have that October date that we can circle for the start of the season of MENS HOCKEY?

I hate to interrupt the circle jerk in here, but the point you guys are missing is that some people think it’s important that college hockey be available to girls->women. I agree with them. I may not have ten years ago when I was saltier and a little more conservative, but now that I have a slightly different worldview and a baby girl I absolutely think women’s hockey at UND shouldn’t go down without a fight. I’m sick of career administrators making the “tough decisions” while making a buttload of dough and then retiring to Colorado or wherever and not giving two sh*ts about the tough decisions they made.
It’s easy to point to the dollars and cents and say that hockey needed to get the axe – but the opinion of the people wanting to save the program is that a $1.3M deficit can be made up a number of ways, and eliminating a program at what we like to consider the premier hockey school in the country isn’t how they would have done it. Does the women’s team live a little large for the revenue it brings in? Absolutely. Do we need to prioritize Olympians (some foreign) over local players and budgets? No. Could we cut the WH budget by 30% and make some deeper administrative cuts to make up the difference? I think so. Doesn’t take too much senior-level “reorganization” to free up a decent chunk of change to allow UND to provide an opportunity for girls to grow up dreaming of putting on the green and white.
This website has gotten hard to read for someone with different opinions. There is rarely true discussion; it’s all piling on, name calling, and mildly-to-moderately flawed logic getting passed around between the same 10 usernames. I think the nickname situation just has all UND fans itchin’ for a scrap, regardless of topic! Go Sioux!
Per Rule 7 of @MafiaMan handbook, there will be no circle jerks unless there is a Friday win by the Men's Hockey team and they must include a mimosa. This must happen on the Saturday morning following the Friday win. Article 3 of this rule is that this event can't happen at the Hoggsbreath, per his trying to get a clarification of this rule and the waitress forth giving a slap of the his face. (Poor Mafiaman just wanted a clarification and left with a pack of ice on his face) So with this being said, guess we will have to wait until sometime in Oct. to get the Mimosa and talk further of this subject.

Just re-read that letter to Kennedy. Gotta say, those two are really proud of themselves. They love to talk about the fact they played in the Olympics and play for the national team any chance they get. Arrogant.
What else do you expect from someone who has never known the word budget?

How do you mean?
I mean taking it to twitter in response to their tweets. Social media with people like goon and every other apologist of the program is tough to beat. They had a victory in the Olympic women's team issue and now they feel this is their next endeavor. It's time to get their stuff out of the Sioux Shop, let raise their money in their own.

Good God, the Avs are bad. Why did Jost leave early to play there? And because of his age, playing this year doesn't even burn a year off his entry level contract. I know he's a very special player and we were happy to get him even if it was for just one year. But it couldn't have hurt his development to play here next year instead of in that mess.
We all know he Jost went for all the wrong reasons. Watching today was Jost painful, thinking of all the growth he could have had next year. Jost shaking my head.

Oh, but they are a great hockey school. what a sham of a fan base. I think that they actually have more people from other schools cheer for their team than they have themselves.

Here's a question. Why cut S&D if cutting women's hockey alone made the financial goal?
The reason they cut S&D was because the summit league does not have S&D.

Were you in MSP the year that Bison made it to the Dance the same weekend as the Final 5? I was and I saw either UND or NDSU fans all over down there. So I beg to differ about them traveling. 200 fans to Sioux falls is actually good considering USD and SDSU fans buy up the tickets to the Summit league tourney games, just like UND buys up tickets to the Frozen Faceoff.
