It means if you are a Hawk fan you will get lucky!

Found the Combine Fitness results. Lists the top 25 in 14 different fitness categories. Mittelstadt cracked the top 25 in one category (fatigue Index) test. Which tells me he has a pretty good motor and has good endurance. How much these fitness tests correlate with being a successful NHL player is up for debate I guess. https://link.nhl.com/centralscouting/public/

I'll be back in GF as well this summer. Will definitely be going to Scheels to get F'Hawked up!!

This is the most Gopherist hockey player I have ever seen!!

Scheels. I live in the Cities and my bro was sending me pics from the Fargo Scheels. Assuming GF Scheels has similar merch. I really like he black and white logo on green apparel. Heading to Fargo this weekend. May have to stop at Scheels!!

The merchandise is getting better.

Looks like it is him. HA!! http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/look-top-nhl-prospect-casey-mittelstadt-cant-do-a-single-pull-up/

Casey must have missed the weight room at Mariucci during his official visit. Does he need to be able to do a pull up to be a successful hockey player? Probably not. But I hope re realizes that strenth conditioning is a vital part of being a hockey player. Especially at the college and even more so in the NHL. Talent has gotten himself this far, but in the NHL, everyone is good. He should have asked his hero Sid if he can do more than one bench press!!

Stumbled on this nice little website that sells logo printed rugs for college teams. Some good looking stuff here!! http://www.everythingdoormats.com/content-categories/cat-183_265_224/university_of_north_dakota.html?rpp=96

I didn't yet. Saw the pic online. Here's the website. http://www.fightinghawksmagazine.com/ Looks like Champions Club Members will get the first issue mailed to them.

The new Fighting Hawks Magazine is ready to hit the shelves!!

Athlon Sports Preseason FCS Top 25 for 2017 https://athlonsports.com/college-football/athlon-sports-preseason-fcs-top-25-2017

The 3 headed monster of Jahanneson, Oliveira, and Santiago is going to be really fun watch. If the running game clicks like most think it will, it is really going to open things up for Studsrud and make things a lot easier for him. In the world of high flying passing offenses in the Big Sky, I like our pound the rock style to wear out opposing defenses every game. Our offense definitely struggled out of the gate last year. Hopefully this year they can hit the ground running (pun intended )

UND leads the series 61-29-5, and we have won 22 of the last 26 games played. Sitting Bull is has pretty much has resided in Grand Forks for most of the rivalry. Wait, isn't one of the main factors of a good rivalry that both teams go back in forth in winning the game? Otherwise it is just a yearly, one sided beatdown....like UND has been doing to the Yotes for decades!! Wouldn't mind seeing a new trophy starting in 2020 when we start playing conference games. That waqy the new trophy can take up permanant residence in Grand Forks much like the Sitting Bull trophy did for years and years and years!! HA!! (All smack talk aside, I am excited that UND will soon be back in the same conference with USD and the other Dakota schools).

Not as obnoxious as he previous articles. It's a good article laying out the history of UND Womens hockey. It's an article the team deserved to have written. But hopefully the last we have to hear about the story.

And Weber is ranked above both of them!! Not your typical Big Sky power rankings!

Not surprised if that is what is going on. I'm sure Faison had a contract sitting on his desk for Jones to sign months ago. No doubt they are going back and forth in the negotiations. Jones' last contract was for $100,000 a year. does he deserve more? Absolutley. Does he deserve $250,000? Probably not. A realistic number for Jones should be around $180,000 with incentives for conference championships, wins in a season, and NCAA tournament bids.

So the Big Sky is going to find 6 schools that can afford to jump up to FBS? Good luck!! Only schools that have a remote chance of being able to do it are Idaho (because they have done it before) and Montana. No other school is even close to baing able to afford it.

Is there anyone that actually thinks that Jones will not get a contract extension? Does Drick (or any other current MBB player at UND) actually think that Jones will not be the coach next year? I don't think this played any factor into his decision.

Looking on UND's website, it lists his major as 'General Studies'. So I am not sure what area of study he is looking to get a graduate degree in. For me it looks like the main reason he is trasnfering is he is using the grad transfer rule to play basketball somewhere else. His choice. Maybe he wants to play closer to home. Whatever the reason is, he has to deal with it. Whether good or bad for him.

Brad E. Schlossman‏ @SchlossmanGF 1h1 hour ago More NCHC will decide on future of Frozen Faceoff location later this summer. Currently at Target Center. Xcel is possibility.

I am wondering if the delay in signing a new contract has less to do with Faison being out and more to do with Jones trying to negotiate a better deal. With the budget cuts affecting every decision the athletic department makes now, it wouldn't be a surprise if Faison is low balling the offer he is giving Jones. Ironically, not signing a deal last year may end up working out in Jones favor given last seasons results!

Side note: I really like the smoke that shots down from the scoreboard after the Penguins score. Would love to see this at the Ralph!!
