Who are the 08's from North Dakota going to Buffalo besides the Johnson kid from West Fargo?

I was being a little sarcastic. But for an event that usually requires 20 athletes I find it a little strange that the average D1 roster is 47 athletes and schools like Iowa and Wisconsin have 70-80 members listed on the teams. Just saying it seems to be a good way around one of the title 9 prongs or requirements. Just think at Wisconsin where they had 80 listed on their roster last season, someone is like 65th string.

It's not. I have said this for a few years, or at least going back to when we dropped women's hockey and I did a little research. The A.D.'s office probably breaks into a cold sweat whenever they see 4-5 females coming into the office to discuss opportunity...whether it be Hockey, Rugby, Wrestling or something else. Looking at some of the bigger schools in the country it seems that women's rowing seems to be the way to even out the participation prong. Looking at the sheer numbers on B10 rowing rosters and I would wager there are 20-30 girls walking around campus who are unaware they are even on the team.

To paraphrase Rahm Emanuel "never let an opportunity to redistribute other people's income go to waste"

I get emails every year about these events. Have only golfed in a couple over the years as it usually hasn't worked out with my schedule, but know several people who do golf in 1 or 2 of them every year.

Probably not for the $50 we paid for the current logo.

Looking to sell my Friday night tickets again this season. Would also include the two exhibition games and Sunday playoff game if necessary. The person who has purchased them the last 2-3 years has decided not to this year as his kids activities are taking up a lot of time and weekends. Section 106. $1000 for the pair.

Yes. Happens all the time. They just never offer them a contract.

Johnson should be entering his freshman season this year after two additional years in USHL which were needed. Mistakes were made by coaching staff and the player and his advisors. Moore was wildly inconsistent and did not handle aggressive forechecks very well.

Wasn't great to start the year. Frisch and Kleven were solid most of season. Jandric's improvement on D from the previous season was great. Once we got Sidorski in the lineup that helped. Farmer was less than advertised but not terrible and Moore was messy quite a bit. That said, an overhead picture of our goals given up early in the year would show 3 forwards above the dots or trailing a guy into a scoring area. That also improved as season went on.

Reminds me of when I was at UND and Gunther was still coaching. The joke was that he could walk through Gamble Hall and grab 8-9 guys and still beat Erv and the bison.

Sadly, unless you are a very hands on, let's review the day everyday kind of parent, it is getting to the point where you may want to get your young kids out of government schools.

Actually. I believe he does but there will be lawsuits and he wanted more money and believed they had to get the bill right the first time and does not believe they did.

Here is what I have come up with.

Heard that Tyler Kleven is heading to Finland to join Team USA at the IIHF World Championships.

Hell of a shift for Gudas on the game winner. Picks off the puck, snaps a great breakout pass, busts his ass up the ice to get in the play, interferes with the Leafs player and grabs his stick to pull him off balance and sets the screen on the goal!

Too bad for Ottawa. Sounds like Reynolds group wanted to own the Ottawa Senators and Snoops group wants to own a professional franchise. Not that the other group would be bad but maybe won't be as interested day to day as far as the "celebrity" and promotional part of the ownership does.

He is also very good friends with Hastings....may have even been in each others weddings.

If I recall, Sandelin's name was in the mix the last time the Rangers job was open.

Him starting the year injured was unfortunate but even so he was starting the year as our 4th Left handed D in the pecking order as Sidorski was brought in to be our 8th defenseman and Farmer was going to be our #2 or 3 right handed D man. If Bast had been healthy he could have supplanted Cooper Moore who held the job by default early in the year because Bast was inured. I was far more comfortable with Bast being in the lineup over Moore at the end of the season but maybe his injuries were holding him back a bit.

* we had an incompetent offensive coordinator who had 3 ridiculously talented weapons on offense and he had only 1 on the field at a time for 85-90% of the time.

What is definition of and who is doing the tampering is probably a fair question. Player talks to his advisior and says I think I would be interested in entering the portal if I knew a certain team or teams was interested in me. Advisor makes a few calls to find out if their is mutual interest and reports back to his "client". Coaches did not initiate contact with player who is not in the portal and simply answered phone call from a Family Advisor(future agent) who he has probably dealt several times over the years....not tampering? Coach gets a call from an advisor who has a client in the portal to gauge if they have interest and if it would be a good fit and Coach inquires about another player that he knows the Advisor works with who isn't currently in the portal...Tampering?

I would be shocked if they don't have skating instructors come in once or twice a year and have all the training, drills and video instruction that go with it and several players also may do it on their own over the summer as well.

True. I think the process of a player entering the portal and calling around or having his advisor(assuming he has one) make some calls to find a new home or better fit is pretty standard even if done in reverse where a player reaches out to his advisor and has him check the temperature ahead of his entering the portal so a player has destination ahead of entering the portal technically. I am guessing the accusations come in where some feel that schools are reaching out to an advisor and inquiring as to whether a player would be interested in entering the portal or having players reach out to their former USHL or other Junior league teammates which some players could potentially do on their own. "Hey coach I was texting with my old buddy and linemate X and he said he was thinking about entering the portal but there are really only 1 or 2 places he would want to go and doesn't want to enter the portal unless he can land at one of those schools and feels if he enters the portal he is pretty much committed to leaving...what do you think he should do?" I am guessing that many of these guys who have played on travel teams and in juniors with 100's of different players have pretty extensive contact lists touching most of the college teams in the country on their phones and could easily conquer 6 degrees of should I enter the portal?

Correct. Question for the rest. If you want the NCHC under the Summit Banner and St. Thomas moves all their programs besides Football and Hockey to the Big East do you still want them as an affiliate member of the Summit?
