Great article by Schloss recapping a decade long of covering UND hockey, not missing a single game. What a decade it was. Some great memories!! https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/4847701-Behind-the-scenes-stories-from-covering-all-436-UND-hockey-games-in-the-decade

I am hoping to see Hunter with his teammates on the sidelines at home games next year. Heck, why stop there.....I hope to see Hunter WALKING across the field before the game with his parents on Senior Day!!

UND is 14-1-2, #1team in the Nation. UAH is 1-14-3, #60 (dead last) team in the nation. UND has outscored their opponents 71-27. UAH has been outscored 77-31. I think we will manage without Pinto. Give him the weekend off.

Well, Brock Vandagriff is looking for a new school to commit to!! https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/28404845/qb-brock-vandagriff-pulls-commitment-oklahoma

Ahh, No considering he just played 5 games the last week and will be flying back from Europe tomorrow.

Nope

Another added perk to those attending Saturdays game.

Anyone got a free streaming link for the US game? When available, please post!! Please and thanks you!!!

Here are the links to purchase #PinkeStrong t-shirts, decals, and newly added wristbands. All proceeds go towards medical expenses for Hunter. Latest update from yesterday is Hunter is now out of the ICU and on the Neuro floor of the hospital. Recovering there until he will eventually move to the Craig Hospital which is one of the best in the coutry for spinal chord injuries and rehab. As always, keep prying for Hunter. https://pinkestrong.myshopify.com/?fbclid=IwAR3L1yzzDCVl7ph8t39YxzqALKIPjrSwEHffp46c2jpl4meHmWYizBFaWWI

It’s too bad the games with the Gophers are in Grand Forks next year. Would have been awesome to see one of the games at Target Field!!

https://fightinghawks.com/news/2019/12/31/general-north-dakota-mourns-the-loss-of-lowell-schweigert.aspx I will definitely be wearing some UND green on Monday the 6th in honor of great alum, fan, but more importantly a great man.

Shirts now available online for purchase. 100% of profits go towards Hunters medical expenses. How awesome would it be for for there to be a "PinkeStrong White Out" at the first home game!! https://shopbluco.myshopify.com/collections/graphic-tees/products/pinkestrong?fbclid=IwAR3eEZB_mlyGt_y19kw2XlgSzIj0IrcmUalohfuySeofakoCWpXxyE22Pjw

There is a Facebook group dedicated to Hunter now. Just search for #PinkeStrong. They are going to be selling t shirts with this logo and the verse Hunter picked out that is going to be his motivation thru all of this. 100% of the profit going towards Hunter's medical costs. More information tomorrow on how to order them.

He said, 'I want you to pray for the person who collided with me. I don't want him to feel guilty,'" Katie Pinke said. "And then he said, 'I hope I can meet him someday.” Can’t say enough about the character of this young man. It’s obvious why he is one of the vocal leaders on this team. Not sure what the future holds for Hunter. But one thing I am certain is that through all of this, he is going to be an inspiration and a witness to many. He already is.

Someone repping at the WJC. Sioux jersey and Old Glory. What a combo!!

WOW. you kidding me?!! What a pass!

Here is the latest update from Hunters mom. Continued prayers needed. katpinke Day two update: Nathan and I are sitting by Hunter's bedside as he rests. For three days, he is on strict bed rest, laying flat, healing from his spinal and back surgery. He sits up slightly 3x daily to slowly eat. He also is keeping up with football scores. His favorite to hear was the Dolphins beating the Patriots today! I also read him your comments, messages, and texts and if you don't hear back from us, just know your encouragement and most of all, the prayers are life-changing for Hunter. After tomorrow's day three of rest, we're praying for more positive progress and have some ideas of the next steps on the long journey ahead. Specific prayer requests: 1. Stabilizing his vitals to allow for next steps in his recovery 2. Comfort and pain management 3. Miraculous sensation in his lower extremities 4. The ability for Nathan and me to get some needed rest tonight 5. His medical team 6. To keep focused on the next thing and not worry about the future. We have more praise than we can list. Hunter has his mind, hands and arms, an ARMY of prayer warriors (that's YOU!) lifting him up for miraculous healing and people showing up for Hunter and our family in so many ways. We don't understand WHY this severe spinal cord injury has happened to our son but in the midst of trying, difficult times we see God's greater plan unfolding. Yes, we are sad. Yes, we want to wake up from this terrible dream. Yes, we want to trade places with Hunter. This is our reality now. Hunter isn't going to run out of this hospital. Something BIG is happening though and we feel it. God can take tragedy and pain and use it for good. When you're in neurotrauma ICU, you see patients and families with much worse circumstances than you. Today two strangers in the hallway asked to give me hugs. They shared their story and I shared ours. If you look for God's love, you find it. It's everywhere. I plan to get more organized in our #hunterstrong journey updates with a blog and FB group soo and will that here when ready. THANK YOU for your prayers, support, kindness, and love.

I don’t think there will ever be a man who loves and supports UND athletics more than Lowell Schweigert. But more importantly, he was an even better person. He will definitely be missed.

What a difference even just a small donation can make. I encourage all SiouxSports members to donate. How bout $36 in honor of Hunters number. Who’s with me?!! #HunterStrong

I have known Hunter since he was a baby and the his mom and family for even longer. I won’t get into the details of the surgery to honor the privacy of the family, but this is a very serious injury and and his dad said, a long and detailed surgery. If you are the praying type, please take a minute to lift Hunter and his family up in prayers.

Alright, you are convincing me. I think this has some potential. Also, there will be a time where NDSU isn't there all the time (hopefully soon). Looking at the location of FCS schools, Nashville is more centrally located for the majority of FCS schools than Frisco is. So the location makes sense. (Which is maybe why the game was in Chatanooga for so many years before Frisco).
