  1. UNLV's club team played in T-Mobile Arena this season, so it must not cost too much.

    Rick Arpin, the entertainment executive at MGM Resorts International, is a hockey fan and donated $10,000 for UNLV to go to the ACHA National Tournament. This would be the guy to talk to if anyone wants the game at T-Mobile Arena or to see if they want the game there.

    Buying into the champions club this late wouldn't have gotten you tickets.  The allotment sold out.

    Precisely.

    How many UND fans were in MSG?  The arena was half-full.

    So 8,000 tickets at MSG isn't a recent and good look at history?  

    UND chose Orleans because there are significant costs associated with an event like this.  Costs that UND has to recover, especially with all of the budget issues surrounding UND.  As a fan, I'm disappointed UND didn't go for T-Mobile, but I completely understand why not the first time around.

    UND wouldn't put in Orleans Arena with T-Moble Arena there. Brad said USA Hockey didn't want the game to lose money so that's why is in Orleans Arena.

    DU defenseman Matt VanVorhis spent his first 12 years in Grand Forks.  His Grandfather, father and mother all have big ties to UND and he grew up a UND fan.  So how does he end up at Denver?  Watch the video from the NCHC:

    He's been a Denver fan ever since se saw them play at the Ralph when he was younger.

    This the last year the BTHC will have a post season tournament at 1 venue over a weekend.  Moving to on campus sites next year.  Anyone know how long a contract the NCHC signed with the Target Center?  I get their reasoning for initially doing it, but now that the X is available, I think that the NCHC needs to jump at the opportunity to move the Frozen Faceoff to the X.  Preaching to the choir here, but it just seems ridiculous promoting the NCHC as the premier comference in college hocky and then playing their premier conference tournament at a terrible venue.  

    2018 I think.

    Is it possible that coach Idalski is grooming the twins for co-coaches, and AD is in on this? 2 for the price of 1 so to say, till they turn the program around, then salary goes up? Really sounds out of the ordinary, but a group of us have casually been talking about this.  WH is here for the long haul, and there may be good plans for the not so long away future.

    Then they would be in positions that are assistant coaches, like a volunteer assistant. Ones a strength and conditioning coach and the other is a volunteer assist coach.

    I see that UND missed on two people that could have been the head coach here in the last two years, ones in Bemidji the other is the former Minnesota assistant now head coach at Ohio State.

    Saw that, but then said it would destroy bracket integrity. I'm glad he stuck with the best one in those terms 

    He was trying hard to get Providence in Providence in both brackets.

    Moy's Brackets this week:

    East Regional (Providence):
    14 Vermont vs. 4 Minnesota
    10 Boston College vs. 7 Union

    Northeast Regional (Manchester):
    13 Cornell vs. 3 Boston University
    12 Massachusetts-Lowell vs. 5 Harvard

    Midwest Regional (Cincinnati):
    15 Air Force vs. 2 Denver
    11 Penn State vs. 6 Western Michigan

    West Regional (Fargo):
    16 Bemidji State vs. 1 Minnesota-Duluth
    9 North Dakota vs. 8 Providence

    Again, not easy, but I'd rather face Providence in the first round than Minnesota. That East region is rough.

    He did create a even crazier bracket that had Minnesota in Fargo, just to put Providence in Providence.
