  1. This game was a let down. My question is when are we going to stop reverting over the summer? Bad first game last year, bad first game this year. I would think we should have been able to build on last year and be better out first game this year.. Maybe I'm wrong?

    Tsiouxnami,

    Hockey age of 14 is 9th graders, so I'm sure there are at least 5 girls on the 14U team that are 8th or 9th graders which would mean they have 30 girls to make 2 teams.  That's plenty for 2 competitive teams, Minot took 5th 2 years ago with 10 skaters and a goalie 

    The 14U team in Bismarck, with 19 players on it, is comprised of only 8th and 9th graders. Anyone else younger is on a 12U team. I believe the problem in Bismarck from what I've heard is that the growth there has mostly been north, making one team have a much larger number base than the other (South). They didn't want to entertain drafting teams each year and wanted to keep it boundary driven. That causes a problem when you may have 26 girls up north and only 8 or 9 down south. They deemed that NOT SUSTAINABLE because you can't field a team with 8 girls. Total overall numbers, it sounds like they have enough. If they were interested in 2 teams they would've been creative and tried to make co-op teams or something. I honestly believe that the only way Bismarck will have 2 teams is if we in other communities force it somehow.

  3. Blais is going to have his guys ready to go for sure. To me it seems that UNO always play UND tough, maybe they treat it a little special because it's UND?? Anyway I can't wait. As for the other thread, we need to wake up here and focus on our team that is playing in a huge series this weekend.

  4. I feel the same way about Stenehjem, he was the one that negotiated that we needed to get both tribes approval. This is the only case where a school needed to get more than the closest tribes blessings. The rest were able to keep their names by just going to the closest tribe and getting their approval and they were done and off the sanctions list.

  5. I'm glad you guys have more faith in our offense than I do, I hope your right. But I'm thinking more along the lines of:

    Sioux-14

    Davis-10

    Win on the backs of our D, with 1 of our 2 scores coming from the D side. Again I hope I'm wrong.

  6. I agree, this TV deal doesn't feel like what the NCHC, the premier conference in the nation, should have. But I want to switch gears a little and ask what you all think will Sanderson's role be on this year's team? Does he sit in the stands most games like the rest of his career or does he step up like a senior and provide some leadership? Also if he does step up who does he beat out?

  7. While I am not opposed to going with no nickname, I believe that Kelly will try to push for one. That being said there are a couple, and only a couple, of nicknames on the remaining list that are tolerable. Those name being: roughriders, cavalry, north stars. My question is has there been enough time for people to not associate North Stars with Minnesota? I don't want to be known as the school that thinks they are in Minnesota or wishes they were in Minnesota.

  8. Well what a shocking day, congrats to Hak and congrats to Brad. Now he needs to fill an assistant position. I realize he was the D coach and now moving up you would think that would mean to hire a D coach to replace him. I, however, would like to see the hiring of an offensive coach, Dane to me seems more of a player development coach as in developing a players game one on one, working on their shot, release, one-timers, etc. I would love nothing more than to see an offensive systems guy who can work on entry zone and plays off of the cycle, nice cross ice one timer plays that open up the ice and allow our skill guys the opportunity to make those plays and to finish them. That is what I would like to see, not that that is what Berry is going to do of course... Thoughts?
