FANTASTIC. Those look so awesome.

I expect a playoff run, this year.

Yes. Of course there are examples either way, but production is and always has been, a very good indicator of success.

Fair, but Stratton is neither of those types of prospects. I don't think it's "good" that Stratton isn't coming, I just don't see it as a big problem.

I'm not worried about our goalie situation at all, right now. I think with Scheeler's injury he'll likely be here three more years and unless something massive changes, at minimum, two. He played as well as any goaltender I've ever seen at UND last year. I'm disappointed about Rowe, but it sounded like he was never a for sure thing anyway. With that said, our D-corps is going to continue to be absolutely stocked for the next few seasons and pairing that with Scheel could lead to an impressive run defensively for our boys. Think 2015-16. Sucks that we will only get Keane for three years. I agree with you and his locker room status. Stratton. Meh, I agree with the numbers. Don't think there was a very high ceiling there. It is what it is.

Sound like there's possibly one final "decision" to be made. Not a last minute recruit. Albrecht was always coming in.

Freshman + Michaud officially announced: https://fightinghawks.com/news/2019/7/3/mens-hockey-und-adds-six-newcomers-to-2019-20-roster.aspx Albrecht, Blaisell, Caufield, Frisch, Pinto, Michaud I like it.

I see this as two potential happenings: 1) The remaining schools are trying to elevate their standing and creating a stronger conference top-to-bottom -- this wouldn't necessarily mean the end of UAH, UAA, UAF, they'd just need to find a new home. 2) They see another restructuring coming with a new team (or two? or three?) coming into the fold by 2022. We'll see.

Whoa, indeed. So, that means the Alaska schools and Huntsville are going bye bye?

Perfectly said, sir.

We'll definitely get there and I think it'll be soon and as soon as it happens, no one will care, IMO.

I'd say it's not that slow especially having it on the jerseys and right near the score, but it's getting there. Plus, the mascot. I wouldn't mind more logos added, though.

C'mon, man. Let's just be cool about this. Both sides have completely valid points. Let time run it's course and not huck names like that.

It's on the uniforms, it's on the scoreboard next to the most important part of the game... seems like they keep building it in. Maybe, like they are progressively doing this?

Meh, I won't go that far. Most people on here feel like they are a big part of the hockey program.

Fair. I'm just not in the camp that believes it's a big deal. I also feel ike the Sioux logo and name has a stronger connection to the hockey program, IMO, for whatever reason.

He just doesn't like the name lol. Oh well?

I think it would make sense. Seven years, man. We had the Sioux name for way more than 7 years. My thought is that it'd take a generation.

And it'll happen. I've seen many players wear Hawks gear. I feel like it's silly to think it's going to happen right away and it's clearly not happening right away as we are talking about this all the time. I don't see the problem with recognizing that it'll take time for many people to "get over it".

While I can see what you're saying, I guess I just don't see it that way. It's transitioning away (some think it's too slow, but so be it) from the Sioux logo. Like Darrell and I talked about before, we just need to stop both arguing who is right and just realize we're all UND and cheering for the same team. The transition will absolutely happen.

HAHAHA well done.

You're moving away from UND hockey because they show the Sioux logo? Goodness. I just don't understand this.

At least 42 on the ice during the game! But, those aren't near the scoreboard.

How many Sioux logos are directly next to the score?

How about that scoreboard, though? Pretty nice, huh? PRETTY. NICE.
