    Bismarck and Minot will fight tooth and nail against that (as they should). If you want western North Dakotans to take to the streets with torches and pitchforks, that would do it.

    Grand Forks should get the original blueprints of the Old REA and build an arena based on them, just with more comfortable seating and state-of-the-art technology. This would be an almost perfect home for the State Hockey Tournament. It would also provide another ice sheet for teams looking for ice time, which seems to always be scarce.

    I would definitely chip in some money to make it happen.

    The old Ralph atmosphere for State was pretty spectacular.  If I recall correctly many Saturday nights had well over 5000 people, and some years it was damn near full.

    Ya know, years ago when I was playing high school hockey all the teams would come in Wednesday and practice and then attend a banquet on Wednesday night for all the teams.  

    What has happened to the state tournament experience for these kids?  It's sad that what was once a four day celebration has become what it has.  

    I dunno, I get the "teachers in the classroom" argument, but one day extra as an incentive if your team makes the state tournament is a nice way to end the year.

    Today's games move UND up to #23 in the PWR.
    The comeback begins.  ;) 

    Next weekend won't help much if we sweep other than get us back above .500.
    If we lose a game or two to #36 UMD, however, will only drill us down even more spots.

    The hole is just too big at this point.  Pulling out a win last night would've done wonders.

    How dare Sandy be 36 -time to burn that place down

    Caught Willy this weekend in the capital city.  They actually…just played the game, nothing egregious.  
     

    Speaking of Williston gotta tip the hat to their girls team.  They gave NS a heck of a game this weekend and beat WF.  They are in great shape to make the state tournament,  the final 6 weeks of the girls season is gonna be a brawl.  Besides Dickinson it appears any game could go either way.  Even DL…although they are thin they may have the best player in the state and another who is up there.  Regular season games are must win for some teams with no EDC/WDA or playin opportunity for state.  
     

    boys side…GFC over North was sort of a surprise.  Davies looks to be finding something they gave red river a run and torched Minot 5-1.  
     

    Big week of HS hockey coming up. 

    16 from DL is very skilled.

    Didn't look like it affected us too much.
    Still #16 after all of today's games.

    Providence tumbled pretty hard after their loss and tie against #57 Army and #49 UNH.
    Looks like they dropped 6 spots down to #20 in one weekend.

    I was going off of RPI on USCHO, we were at 14 yesterday and now at 15.  CHN pairwise had us at 16 before and after the games yesterday like you said.

    Both hits deserve higher level review because of "distance". They were lining it up a zone away. That is, for lack of a better word, premeditation. 

    I will also say, with the prevalence of cameras and video today, I'm glad I turned in my stripes long ago. 

    I hear ya.  Started in 97 working every level where I live and last season was the first season I didn't officiate anything.  I don't miss it all.

    Was curious how we didn’t land Makar and found a great article about it - I’m sure most on here have seen it.  He is so good - don’t think the Dogs would’ve shut us down with him like they did UMASS. Of course I mean in 2020

    And UMASS it is. Makar keeping his commitment sure has turned that program around.
