Will there be 6 this period.

Well that was fun. Do we have a young untested defense or a young defensive coaching staff or “a failure to communicate”?

That would be great. I do feel sometimes there are to may passes and the pass gets to be predictable and the opponent cleaves off the pass and transitions the other direction.

Wow those UND defensemen developed quickly.

I have been happily against NDSU winning for over 50 years. That was back in the days of Gus to Gus.

Not NDSU winning but have UND winning the game this year and every year from this year on into the future.

Have not been in Grand Forks for some time. Not since my last child graduated from UND. Is the Townhouse Motor Inn still in operation? Seems like just yesterday I started as a freshmen student at UND. Moving off campus and shopping at my corner store at First Avenue North and Washington. It was a Hugo’s store and I also met Hugo himself who was very elderly and carefully stocking shelves. I saw that lot become the Townhouse Motor Inn and I was there on the opening day as the first night auditor. Enjoy your time at UND and your time in Grand Forks, time and life go by quickly.

Yes it would be nice how short practices are going - BUT CAN NOT WAIT to see Manitoba - HOCKEY IS ON ITS WAY.

UND - Mind set when things escalate down hill.

How much would we have to pay just to get Dr. Amy for one game.

Hopefully these games are not replacing Lindenwood University Lions games. I would rather see Lindenwood in the NCHC before St. Thomas.

Oops forgot to mention the exciting new coach is Defenseman Dillon Simpson.

I agree. The good news is that this coaching staff has a track record of turning out quality defensemen. Starting with Brad Berry’s Defensive skills that paid dividends in playing at Division 1 and NHL. Add in Dane Jackson’s experience playing at Division 1 and NHL as a quality forward helps defensemen develop communication and execution in transition between forwards and defensemen. The same can be said about the outstanding skill and experience of goalie Karl Goehring helping the defensemen and goalies work constructively together. Then the brilliant move by Brad Berry and the rest of the coaching staff to invite a highly experienced professional and former Sioux player to join the coaching staff. This should be a bonus to helping develop the defense.

For defense it is going to depend on how long it takes for the defense to accept playing Sioux hockey defense.

When Hastings went to Mankato he forced a few players off the team “telling them they were not his types of players”. One ended up finishing his career at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire.

My feeling is how quickly we get the defense mirroring what we expect in UND defending.

Being in Tucson I would love U of A to start a Division 1 hockey program. More chances to catch the Sioux for some live in-person games.

May have to do if Arron Rodgers has a Lisfranc injury or something like that which could keep him out for up to two months.

Maybe a Hawksignal. With burning green eyes. Tech could likely do it. If not, have submissions from students.

I am guessing the goal was to put second team in and give them experience at shutting the opponent down. Well they got experience and we got a very interesting later half fourth quarter game.

What about Lindenwood and Bemidji State.
