Yah, Joe Paisley wrote about it in his column in the Gazette. I guess the rule they went with was, first one to score. So, Ohio State shot first and missed and then AF went and scored and that was that however the refs didn't realize that at first and they set the puck up for the OSU player to shoot next and it was the scorekeeper who blew the horn and notified the officials of the rule so the game ended.

It was a weekend for the birds! UND Fighting Hawks, Air Force Falcons, and the BC Eagles all won tonight! Particular shout out to the AF Falcons for their huge weekend beating BC and Ohio State to claim the 2016 Ice Breaker Tournament!

I'm going to the two games at Magness today.....so tempted to wear my UND gear. Should I do it???

Home games against seemingly "inferior" opponents have tended to be closer in final score (not necessarily on-ice performance or SOG)....Recall Huntsville last year? I'm going with a 3-1 final score, UND, but doubling up Canisius College (the other CC) in shots and a significant territorial advantage.

Here's a good preview of DU.... https://letsgodu.com/2016/09/30/2016-17-university-of-denver-hockey-season-preview/

Sadly, CC has participation banners up in World Arena. I really wish they'd take down all of them except for the NCAA and WCHA banners.

Wow. Not exactly enough to cover the University of Manitoba's annual athletic budget.

Things that make you go hmmmm.... Question: when these Canadian universities travel down to the States to play exhibition games, who pays their travel, food, lodging costs? Is there a similar arrangement as college football where the bigger power schools pay the little FCS schools a big chunk of change to play the game?

Cool video man! As you and every fan of whoever their team happens to be should be pumped up!

I'm new to NCHC.tv but was wondering what the easiest way to watch the UND game online is? I was watching the WMU/Toronto game but then stopped it to go to the UND game and now it's saying, "cannot view from this device." Thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

http://www.uscho.com/2016/09/21/simon-fraser-minot-state-making-cases-to-join-division-i-lineup/ Something else Simon Frasier should think about is how attached they are to their nickname. If they joined the NCAA, they'd likely have to drop that nickname.

As tempting and easy as it would be to pin this all on Torts, this lethargic play has to be at the feet of the players.

On the NHL Network yesterday afternoon they reported that Alex Ovechkin said he intends to play in the 2018 Olympics regardless of the NHL will allow players to participate.

I think it's pricey too but I'm one of those who collects stuff like this so they probably priced it accordingly for suckers like me.

Has there been anymore chatter down south in Fargo about starting D-I hockey? Also, has there been any talk or consideration of adding hockey at either of the South Dakota schools?

Good to hear! Thanks for the feedback! Thus far, my experiences at road games for UND or CC at such places as Huntsville, Vermont, Duluth, and Omaha have all be quite positive. Looking forward to Miami.

Any thoughts as to why Adam Rockwood transferred from Wisconsin to Northern Michigan?

Would you give them to some DU fans? Oh wait....they don't have any fans!

Awesome! My wife and I went to the Vermont series too and that was awesome. The only bummer was how out-matched UVM was compared to UND.

I just got my tickets for the UND/Miami series out in Oxford next March. I can't wait! Anyone been to a game out there? Is the atmosphere as fun and intense as it appears on television?

I loved that goalie! I remember him skating out to center ice before the drop of the puck and staring down the opposing goalie! Classic.

Here's a preview on Letsgodu website of their incoming freshmen class. Clearly the kid from Finland is the prize recruit coming in. https://letsgodu.com/2016/09/06/denver-hockey-incoming-freshman-class-profile/

Maybe what you're suggesting is already in place? I believe ASU has series against DU, St. Cloud and Omaha this coming season.

Here's a good scouting report on Mr. Dillon Simpson. I hope he gets called up to Edmonton this season. http://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/cult-of-hockey-dillon-simpsons-versatility-gives-him-an-edge-as-he-pursues-a-job-with-the-oilers

Great scouting report on Mr. Caggiula... http://oilonwhyte.com/2016/08/28/edmonton-oilers-drake-caggiula-can-win-roster-spot/
