No post game interview with Jackson on the radio broadcast? Did I miss it?

Not sure but I just googled when AF’s Cadet Ice Arena was opened and it’s gotta be up there at 1968.

I loved it. The novelty of it is probably why I liked it. Does it have the modern amenities of a place like the Ralph? Absolutely not, which is probably why they’re building a new barn but the Lunatics were as advertised. I also walked around to where the Lunatics stand outside a few hours before the Friday game, wearing my UND jersey and BS’d with several of the kids. They hazed me when I was leaving but all in good natured fun. I visited with several Western fans inside as well during the games and they were all cool too. Fun seeing Livanavage and his OT cele near the student section when he scored, that was a lot of fun.

You’re right-2015 around Thanksgiving. I’m still kicking myself for not going. We swept the Spartans that weekend.

I got to Lawson Arena last year. It was a huge bucket list barn for me before they relocate to their new one. I saw UND play at Conte in the game that got called due to fog and then saw UND at Matthews Arena against Northeastern and that was such a treat. I’d love to see UND at Yost and Munn but likely will never happen because those teams would never return the favor.

Mildly off topic but Penn State fired Franklin today. Over $49 million buyout. Makes Berry’s buyout seem minuscule.

Hard to say how good CC is, Bentley looked very small physically compared to the Tigers who’ve gone out and gotten some size and grit. Tigers started 8-0 last year at this time but all home games against weak opponents and then once league play started came back down to earth. That said, they look fast, aggressive, and creative offensively and Mbereko has looked awfully sharp.

I’m going to the CC/Bentley game tonight. Bentley lost their stud goalie, Connor Hasley, who had a really good season last year. He transferred to ASU. Bentley put a scare in the number one overall seed Boston College last March in the regionals.

During CC’s formative years 1996-2011) they picked up a ton of local Minnesota talent. Seems there was such an abundant supply of talent, Minnesota couldn’t monopolize them all. UND, Wisconsin, Duluth, and many others benefited from this. Haviland got away from recruiting Minnesota and the result showed.

I’ve seen more fans at an old man beer league game

And what moves were those?

Thanks!

Late to the party. I’m having trouble loading any game from nchctv. Just a blank screen. Anyone have any tips.

11 goals and he couldn’t even muster a secondary apple???

Coach Jackson wearing a bubble mask!

Thanks for sharing! It was a good listen! I appreciated their observations about Penn State historically having a very weak non-conference schedule and this year is no exception. They have road trips to ASU and RIT so that ASU trip is tough but then six home games against LIU, Clarkson, and Stonehill. Looks like McKenna can boost his Hobey resume playing some weaker opponents.

I had a blast when I went to Kalamazoo last season! If you can, hit Lawson a few hours early and go visit with the Lunatics that will be standing outside. They were all really cool but they will have to haze you just a little bit!

My wife has the Vikings defense on her fantasy team and I think she said she got over 30 points from them today. I don’t play fantasy football but I think that’s okay.

At the CC season ticket holder fan fest today, the team captains were announced by Kris Mayotte. Senior Kaiden Mbereko was named one of the captains, along with juniors Max Burkholder, Owen Beckner, and Grand Forks native, Drew Montgomery.

Was the team not permitted to wear them previously? Last guy I recall wearing an iTech was Sanderson from the ‘16 title team. Don’t know why a player wouldn’t be permitted to wear one over the bird cage if that’s what he preferred.

I will gladly trade someone my CC/Simon Fraser tickets for your UND/Minnesota tix.

They’re not all phishing though. -I clicked on one and have been awarded a million dollar gift from the King of Nigeria!

I might be in the minority but I miss the old days of Mazzocco and Woog. I just re-watched the 2010 Final Five games with UND and have fond memories of setting the VCR back in the early 2000’s and recording the UND/Minnesota or CC/Minnesota games on the Midwest Sports Channel and later on, Fox Sports North. Those two guys were clearly homers for the Gophers, as they should be, but always quick to give praise to the opponent when due.

I’d love to hear Jordan Schmaltz behind the mic if nothing else for the intermission analysis. That guy is really good.
