GeauxSioux Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Minnesota-Crookston Drops Hockey Despite Expensive New ArenaIn Minnesota, the budget issues are no secret to anyone. A multi-billion dollar deficit is facing the state, and the pain is being felt everywhere. At the University of Minnesota-Crookston, economic issues are forcing sad but necessary changes. Even though they recently broke ground on a new, $14.5 million facility that was to house, among other things, UM-Crookston's men's hockey program, the school has decided to do away with the sport.

bigmrg74 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 UMC had hockey? *shrugs* Truthfully they were more like GOONS on ICE. I saw them when they were playing at Adrian, which is pretty close to where I live. They looked like they could have skated for the Syracuse Bulldogs from Slap Shot. Nothing but dirty hockey from those guys. But the rumor was that they were told that weekend before the bus pullled out of town that after the season, they would be folding. I would see that making them rather upset. Quote
