Looks like a few more High School head coaching jobs opened up. Saw Mayville and Dickinson both posted on facebook about them. Dallas Kuntz had been thw Dickinson head coach for 10 years I believe. Haven't heard who got or if the West Fargo or Fargo South Shanley jobs had been filled.

Pretty rare that once these hires are established they willingly relinquish their "need" Much more likely they just continue to find ways to evolve the focus to keep the grift going. I need to find ways to be compensated for the perception of the past in today's worldview.

So its a payoff. That's all you had to say.

Grand cities Mall is exponentially more interesting. GF has to grew some testicular fortitude and make something happen to the Columbia mall, it's a sucking chest wound to the city and providing nothing but a tax writeoff for..... whatever holding company has it now. If there was ever a valid cause for eminent domain... it's the Columbia Mall in Grand Forks.

ASU would be a temporary addition to the NCHC. The eventuality of a western or Pacific based conference will make that so... But I think they would be a very good partner for the next ten years or so.... then...... As has been talked about here before, there will be a different landscape in college hockey

He's an absolute tool in my opinion, he knows exactly what he did, why and how to do it to avoid actual being accountable for saying it. He's the slithering jealous worm of the college hockey media world.... I categorize him as basically a meth'ed out dubay with a spellchecker and the login to a Twitter account.

Answered it yourself. so your saying their team 2 years from now may be remotely competative... Facilities open 2 years (barring delays) from now 3- 4 years at least from there for recruiting to benefit the on ice product (even with portal supplements) They have current conference obligations ..... and in the meantime that's 6+ years of changing college hockey landscape... As much as the alumni and location benefit... its not the type of draw that ASU has and I don’t believe it's realistic to compare the two's ability to draw recruits as equal. All things being said does anybody think they can win a battle vs Gophers for the MN kid?? No that's not reasonable to believe. but by 10 years time.... its fair to see an established program be nationally competitive and fit within the structure (that we know today) that the NCHC is. So to say St Thomas is 10 years away is a very rational and reasonable assertion.

This might be the stupidest conversation these boards have seen in years. St. Thomas is a minimum of 10 years away from being a NCHC addidtion consideration. And by that time there's going to be a completely different world in the college hockey landscape.

The only switch that will happen is MIAMI out to CCHA ASU in to NCHC That's the only realistic change in the 5 to likely 10 year future. NCHC under summit or a summit league is not going to happen, it would be foolish and absolutely not in the best interest of UND DU or UMD.... and frankly that's who matter and swing the biggest..... sticks. Out past 10 years from now.. who knows, that all depends on the growth of D1 programs in the west, and a different conversation. UND etc, isn't going to allow the NCHC to be watered down into an afterthought sport in a plucky low level also-ran league like the summit is in the grand scheme. It's not happening, foolish to take it seriously.

So long Winnipeg.. hopefully the disgruntled 'peggers don't get too stab-happy on Portage tonight. Things seem quite glib up there, hopefully they can all just mellow out at the forks a bit and relax this summer, come back strong.

BC is well represented to day the least.

The Qu team that played in the fall was a terrible team compared to the team by the time the tourney rolled around... its foolish to toss that out there as "validation" for the season. In fact... I'd say it validates the anti-Berry crowd (of which I am not a part of at this time FWIW)... Both teams DID NOT play good hockey that weekend but, one team progressed and improved to the point of being the Natty Champ.. One team regressed and repeatedly under-preformed...

Gf is like a damn war zone right now. There's a pot hole on the south side of the Columbia mall lot that's so deep and wide I'm pretty sure it's cashing my alimony check.

Berry's contract (and I could just say any Mens Hockey Head Coach now and into the future).... Will not be bought out by the University of North Dakota...... Ever. Whether people think that good bad or indifferent is irrelevant.

This is just a pretty normal occurrence, the staff is usually quite accomodating (as they can be) to requests for tours for teams while in town for various youth tourneys. It is an a great thing to expose kids to the facilities. Never know where the next diamond in the rough can be found.

Bingo. And as evidence........

In what way? Would love to hear this pontification....

I believe the current cases the AGs office is involved in will have some major shifts on how the entire landscape of charitable gaming in ND operates going forward. I would be willing to bet you won't see alot of changes or moves made until after the dust settles. Some big knockers are under the microscope right now.

It's just such a bad take to think this thing is controllable any more. It's on the level of betting on the BetaMax and then sinking the retirement on LazerDisc players in the DeLorean

Maybe we tamp down the expectation mound a wee bit for now....

18U Prep is the top team. "Varsity" The 18U AAA lands those that dont make the prep team as well as those 16 yr olds that dont make the 16U team.

He's a heck of a hockey player, great hands, great speed, and can get an absolute piss missle of a shot off very quickly. A prospect? maybe not right now but if puts a bit more size on and follows the path, who knows. Easily one of the top kids in the NDAHA 05/06 group at the HP camp this past weekend. Fun kid to watch play hockey.

Pretty sure after Chicago taxes that amounts to $43 left in the tank.... Canadian dollars.

Ahhh....... Debatable. Me thinks the jury may still be out as of now.

A coach needs experience.... Volunteer assistant at UND while finishing a degree? He'd not going to make it far in life without a degree......
