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......

Al was just an absolute gem when I interacted with him and he was a true gentleman when I introduced my kids to him. Just an absolute legend. Any idea when a funeral for this man will be?

This is the reality, but we just had to try and keep up with the Jones... and for what to be constantly jealous of their tier 2 pretend D1 titles? This "one year" is not an anomaly If a person can not see the past and future trajectory, there's really no hope for them...

Every organization has a culture. Making sure it tracks with the mission and objective is the pickle. It's also very easy for it to derail

And a portion of the fan base already is burning her at the stake for existing. This is 100% accurate. NIL collectives are competition to the organizations you mentioned. It is and will continue to grow to be a big issue.

Speculate this possibility Player goes to a school where he can get NIL money to the effect that tuition and scholarship isn't needed. Scholly dollars go to other talent recruits or portals to fill out team? Could scholarship "limits" basically go the way of the vcr?

Calm down...

And I could make a real argument for an 8th too..... Dang good team they had there.
