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.

HAHAHA THIS ^^^^ FTW!

I agree with this 100%. I understand the Hawks crowd (this seems like I'm anti-Hawk, which I'm not) has adopted the "get over it", mantra. That way of thinking doesn't seem logical, to me. I've said from the beginning that I believe the logo will take time to fully become accepted. I see this scoreboard change as another step.

I don't think it's pandering whatsoever. They (REA) just don't want to do it. Simple as that.

It's literally going to be shown at ALL TIMES during the game, by the score, which is the most important part. C'mon.

Keeping something would be on the side of holding true to the history while adding the new logo and name, like they did throughout the scoreboard, is what would help the tradition. Getting rid of it would have ticked a lot of. Just one man's opinion. I think this scoreboard shows a lot of Hawk logo.

Feels like a good mix, to me. Hawks logo right there on the scoreboard next to the score. Prominently displayed at all times. Fighting Hawks name itself right there, too. The Sioux name and logo are indeed an important part of our history, is it not? Feels like a nod to both and important to continue the transition away.

I love it. Makes me happy to see some optimism around here.

Of course, but the ones that are drafted are the ones specific NHL teams care most about. I guess I may be missing your concern.

All things considered, bringing in a 2nd rounder (damn near a first) and two 5th rounders for this season is a nice influx of talent up front.

Rizzo to the Canes at 216 Frisch, Rowe, Bast, Scheel, Budy go undrafted.

192 to Boston.

On the plus, sounds like Blaisdell and Pinto are indeed those kinds of players.
