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.

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?

I do think those types of players are coming back to ND though, at least I hope so by the way people talk of some of our recruits. Eichel is a phenom for the east coast.

Tough loss and a tough way to end a great season. We out played them for most of the game but they had more of the puck luck tonight, we did not. Everyone here needs to step back and calm down. We had a great season. Good job boys!

Yeah and the 19U team in Bismarck is very strong and I believe they would probably be top 5 in the high school state this year. I believe the time has come. But without pressure from Fargo, Grand Forks, WF and the likes, I don't know if it will happen.

I'm sure if they included 9th graders in Bismarck they could very easily have 2 girls teams. I agree with Sioux Rube, that it is about growing the sport.

Central looking pretty good..

Yes game on.. watching it now.. 5-1 GFC. Final

Live Stream of the GFC/Mandan game from wday.com right now

I think the only way they will make 2 teams in Bismarck is if the rest of the state forces them to. NDHSAA needs to force them along with Grand Forks and Fargo/West Fargo.

The girls 1st round is not on TV and I can't find anyone carrying it on the radio. Bismarck is up 3-0 end of 1 BTW. For the Boys 1st round it is being carried on WDAZ extra channels. http://www.ndhsaa.com/news/1213/state-hockey-televised-channel-lineup

Any one at the Bismarck vs. Dickinson Girls game? Or does anyone know if that game is on the radio anywhere? I know that the Boys games will be on TV starting at noon but I don't want to wait that long.

Yeah that is very true, but there are some scary good teams hanging around that 14-20 PWR right now. I'm sure it will all shake out. I am also hoping for the Sioux to be playing 3 non-traveling fan bases in fargo so I can pick up some tickets.

The B1G may be bad this year but it doesn't make me feel to comfortable in this scenario. Minnesota hovers around where they are now for the rest of the season, they go into the B1G tourney and win it. That will get them a 4 seed and they get placed in the Fargo regional, setting up a first round game with the Sioux... I'm not sure I like that first round match up.

Friday - Nick S Saturday - Drake

Looking for 5 tickets for Friday night Dec. 5 against Lake State. I know its a long shot for 5 but I figured I would try.

Huge matchup, need to show these east boy how we rock the Ralph!! It needs to be packed and loud! Should be a good matchup and probably low scoring. I agree we need to stay out of the box in order to win.

Probably shouldn't be #3 after the way we played Friday...

LETS GO SIOUX!!!!!!! Need to have a better effort against CC. I think the boys weren't expecting as much from BSU as they got and it bit them. Need to use that loss as a motivator and get these points.

Scholss was saying on his Tuesday chat that he was hoping to hear something about the FCS and airing hockey games this week yet. One can only hope!

Friday - Parks Saturday - Stecher

Wow, I'm surprised this is so dead. First game of the regular season and nobody is really chatting much about it. COME ON GUYS... SIOUX HOCKEY!!!!!!

I wonder also with the fees associated with transferring tickets, if students aren't going as much because the style has changed a little? Nothing gets the students more into the game or cheering than a big hit or a fight. When was the last time we had a fight at all? I'm not saying we should go out and fight or anything just a thought of why students aren't coming as much. You all know it as well as I do some people want to go to a hockey game to see a fight.

FINALLY HOCKEY IS BACK!!!!!!! Excited for this year.. No slow starts.. Dominate the entire season boys... GO SIOUX

So who is on the hot seat, after your GOBC annual meetings?
