  1. They've been making BC's stuff for at least a few years now:

    Does Under Armor make anything other than jerseys for Boston College, that would be a no. Until Under Armor starts making gloves, shoulder pads, shin pads, sticks, etc. I don't see the CEO of Under Armor funding Maryland to start a hockey team.

  2. Don't assume he didn't I suspect this was a mutual decision for the benefit if Jim.

    I'd say once Stecher commited Senkbeil was told he wouldn't be coming back. Hakstol being the nice guy he is found a place for him to transfer to. In all honesty Senkbeil was a last minute replacement for a decommitment and if it wasn't for all the injuries his freshman year he probably wouldn't have played.

  3. best of luck jim, but could you have not announced this 2-3 months ago to allow hakstol to replace you.

    He was replaced, there are the same number of guys on the team this year as last year. He was replaced by one of the incoming defenseman.

  4. Publications handicap ND’s chances among places vying for UAS test site

    Very good news for North Dakota and UND, although you wouldn't think so if you just read the Jamestown headline of the same piece.."N.D. test site chances hindered". They tried to change a word on the original headline make it original, but the same, but in this case handicap and hinder aren't the same thing. A little hint....maybe you should read it before changing the headline.

    Since Grand Forks AFB has Global Hawk drones good chance they will be a testing site, which would help keep Grand Forks AFB open. Most likely Alaska would be the main testing area for extreme winter testing on drones.

    After looking at the map of areas that are being looked at for drone testing locations. Good chance NAS Pax River could be one, because that is where the X-47B is being tested by the Navy.

  5. FS2 is on 618 currently. Is it moving later to the golf channel?

    I just typed in my zip and provider and it said 218 for FS2.

    Edit: You are right I miss read what it said 618 FS2

  6. He already visited as in his tweet he put a pic of the Ralph up as well saying how sweet it was.

    Or actually did you mean greenway? My bad if so. Isn't greenway a shattuck kid as well??

    Yeah, Greenway is a 6'5" forward that played at Shattuck now he plays for the NTDP U17. His brother plays at Shattuck also.

  7. Isn't this USA squad the players that aren't currently on a NTDP team?? I may be wrong on this but seems to make sense if so. This class is crazy good if they all roll into GF!

    I only found two that are on the NTDP U18 Jack Dougherty and Blake Weyrick.

  8. I'm sort of shocked that Gersich isnt playing for the US Ivan Hlinka squad. Looks like schmaltz is killing it and Austin P is on the team. I always thought Gersich was better than Malmquist, just played on a worse team.

    I'm sure there is a reason, but he'll be playing for the NTDP U18 team this year.

  9. The EIU Club Hockey tweeter says his tweet was about Illinois moving up to NCAA DI, not EIU.

    With the Big Ten paying out $2 mil per season per team, any new Big Ten hockey team is almost immediately in the black.

    U of Illinois is renovating its State Farm Center (formerly Assembly Hall) for $140 million. Bet it includes ice capability when it is done in 2016.

    Bet U of Maryland will also announce a B1G hockey team within a few years. Its former basketball home, Cole Fieldhouse already has the dimensions for hockey / arena football, but is currently standing empty. Maryland dumped a bunch of its non-revenue sports before it joined the B1G. With a lot of depth and the backing of Under Armour, Maryland is going to be pushing for more revenue generating sports.

    Still believe that DU and Omaha are working behind the scenes to help fortify the Summit. Any of Minn St-Mankato, Duluth, or St Cloud would be mutually beneficial, especially if football is dropped to non-scholarship.

    After looking at the State Farm Center's renovation renderings it looks like the lower bowl seating is going to be permanent and not retractable, which would allow the ability to put a hockey rink in the area.

    The Cole Fieldhouse doen't have ice making abilities neither does the Comcast Center, if Mayland was to join B1G hockey it would be more likely that the team would use the Verizon Center in D.C. (only 24 minutes from the College Park). The only way I see Under Armour backing Maryland's hockey team is if Under Armour started making hockey equipment.

  10. Simple questions:

    Where would EIU play? Their club team travels to Danville, IL, to practice and play home games. There's no rink in Charleston, IL. The trip is 70 miles one way.

    Who else would play "Summit Hockey" besides DU and UNO? EIU? That's three. Then ... who? St. Cloud? Duluth? Can either of those two make the jump to full Division I status to join the Summit? I guess I'm not seeing the numbers. Please explain how the numbers could work.

    My guess? EIU is moving from ACHA DII to ACHA DI.

    It looks to me that EIU was replying to a tweet by @USCollegeHockey, when @USCollegeHockey was talking about Illini Hockey's big anouncement that turned out to be new jerseys.

  11. Dillion Simpson's brother Riley had a pretty good year in the AMHL in 34 games he was (26-29-55) he also played 10 games for Spruce Grove Saints (2-3-5). It looks like he'll be playing next season for the Spruce Grove Saints in the AJHL.

  12. The shootout is an abomination to the sport. Period. It has no business in any level of hockey. And I do not care how exciting they are. Settling ties in basketball with slam-dunks contests would be exciting, but it would also be a colossal joke. Or using field goal kicking contests in football to break ties. I do not care if fans in Montreal, Quebec like shootouts (this is Hakstol's excuse for adopting them), I do not want them anyplace in college hockey. :angry:

    I agree, the CCHA proved it didn't help if you won a shootout because the NCAA counted it as a tie anyway.

  13. The Big Sky has very strict rules: every addition must offer the Big Sky's 14 core sports (perhaps not so coincidentally identical to Montana's) including football. UND had to agree to offer men's tennis to be accepted. Last summer, non-football WAC schools announced that they would be reviewing the ability to sponsor football when the WAC and Big Sky were talking about merging. Without having football, guess the fear is that DU would pour money into basketball and dominate Montana and Weber St (so those two probably very much opposed changing the rules). Obviously, Denver and Seattle rejected the idea of FCS football, with Denver moving on shortly thereafter and the WAC proceeded to invite the rest of the former Great West.

    Have to believe that Denver did want the Big Sky (schools like SUU and Weber St were bigger issues than UNC was however) over the Summit, but the Sky wouldn't allow in a non-football school.

    Denver can compete in 7 Big Sky sports now, if I remember right there was talk on Let's Go DU blog about bringing back football to get into a better conference.
