Been awhile. read the article posted on this thread today. Being close to the Canadian market is key. Played a huge factor in getting in in Grand Forks. Buffalo has the WJC next year. Next time it will be in the US will be 2022. If another city besides Buffalo is going to bid on it, I would say that Detroit has the best shot with their new arena being ready this year.

Report: Gophers to consider Klieman for head coach position http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4192139-report-gophers-consider-klieman-head-coach-position Craig Bohl is a trendy pick, but didn't really think this was an option. Don't really see a P5 school hiring straight from the FCS, but who knows!! That fact that Klieman and AD Coyle went to High School together makes things interesting!!

Waiting to buy a green North Dakota hockey jersey at Scheels for myself. Want to buy one when the start putting the FH logo on them!!

If the team finishes with around a .500 record and finishes in the middle of the Big Sky, Jones is done. Anything short of a regular season title or at the very least a tournament Championship game appearance and he is gone. Jones probably knows this. Tough spot to be in as a coach when you are coaching for your job.

Has St Paul and the X ever put in a bid for the WJC?

The unfortunate comparison to NDSU is always looming. Especially given their success. But in the Past 10 years you have zero conference titles, zero NCAA tournament appearances, and zero 20 win seasons by Jones and UND, and 3 conference titles, 3 NCAA tournament appearances, and six 20 win seasons in that same time span by a team 70 miles down the road. That is unacceptable.

It's amazing how much stock a couple conference tournament championships from a now debunked conference as well as a few CIT tournament bids (all loses) carry these days!!

Will he though? With Olivera back there and Johannesson transferring in, is there room for all 3? I would think you would want to get all 3 of those guys in as much as possible. I would really like to see Santiago be a slot guy and catch some short passes with the opportunity to rack up some good YAC.

Sacrificing one program so other can succeed is definitely not what any AD wants to do. Sure hope that is not what Faison is thinking.

It's time. Been said here before...UND needs to hire Chad Walthall. http://www.msumdragons.com/staff.aspx?staff=84 His resume speaks for itself. What he has done at MSUM is pretty impressive. Programs that turn it around that quick and then stay there don't just happen because of luck or a few good players that carry the team. Walthall is a great coach and will probably be offered bigger and better jobs very soon. That bigger and better job needs to be UND.

The only thing that can save Jones' job right now is a Big Sky regular season championship or a tournament bid. Anything less and you have to think his days are numbered. Is that setting the bar too high for someone to keep their job? Maybe for a new coach. But for a guy that has been here this long and continues to product mediocre teams year in and year out, its time to actually accomplish something other than making a crap tournament at the end of the season because you barely made it over .500.

That being said, in the last 30 years, the totals are as follows: Grand Forks Central State Hockey Championships - 5 Red River High School State Hockey Championships - 15 The term "What have you done for me lately" comes to mind!!

Comparing titles won by GFC when RRHS was not even around yet is pretty meaningless. Comparing them since both have been competing for Championships makes a whole lot more sense. Since RRHS openes in 1967, The comparison for Championships is GFC - 18, RRHS - 17. So Central has the edge. But barely.

5 titles in the past 30 years......GFC is probably due

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Jones currently in his last year of his contract with no extension right now?

I agree with this. However, not shaking hands looks much worse than stealing the ball with 3 seconds left down 11. Had McCaffrey and the rest of the Iowa team just shook hands after the game like normal, I doubt anyone woule be talking about Balwin stealing the ball.

Looking for idiot Bison fans? I would start here: http://www.bisonville.com

"I feel bad about it. I have a lot of respect for Brian Jones. I wish it didn't happen. I wish I shook hands. ... I shouldn't have done it. I feel terrible about what happened." - Fran McCaffrey He knows he screwed up and overreacted. End of story.

"A lot of people go to college for 7 years"

Would it surprise anyone if Bubba took a slighly lower pay raise so his assistants could get a raise? Just the type of guy he is.

FYP!!
