Goon Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 He's at home watching his 19 inch black and white, convincing himself that HD is overrated, and does not actually make hockey better to watch. LOL, that is funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I don't think we need a new thread for this. I received this email and thought I'd share it with my fellow SS.com members. UND Athletics And Ralph Engelstad Arena Address Fan Behavior Initiatives In an effort to continue to make Fighting Sioux men's hockey games the best fan experience in college hockey, the University of North Dakota and Ralph Engelstad Arena have combined to institute some new fan initiatives. "After much public discussion through e-mails surveys of our season ticket holders and communication with our students, we feel we have put together some measures that will enhance the atmosphere at our home men's hockey games," said UND Athletics Director Brian Faison. "The overriding sentiment from our fans is that they love the energy in the building, but we need to make sure the passion of all of our fans is directed in a positive fashion." To that end, several steps will be taken this weekend for the home men's hockey series against St. Cloud State and additional measures will be implemented throughout the remainder of the 2009-10 home men's hockey season and beyond. Some of the initiatives that will be implemented include a series of positive sportsmanship videos on the scoreboard, communication and enforcement of the new University of North Dakota and Ralph Engelstad Arena Fan Code Of Conduct, proactive alcohol enforcement measures and increased promotion of the Guest Help Line. The Ralph Engelstad Arena's Guest Help Line allows fans to text or call the Ralph Engelstad Arena Guest Services department during a game to report the location of inappropriate behavior. "We feel it's in the best interest of all parties to continue to create a positive, safe and enjoyable atmosphere in the building," said Ralph Engelstad Arena General Manager Jody Hodgson. "We're committed to improving the fan experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I agree with all of this except, 'We will cheer for the Sioux, not against our oppponents'. Does this mean we can no longer do the 'arm point' and sieve chant?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodcon Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 That's the Chamber of Commerce version, they could have just said "Don't drop the F bomb or we'll throw your ass out, everything else we can live with." I believe in the direct approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Way to take the atmosphere out of the building the second we get to loud, we get kicked out Good Job Faison!!! e I don't think that's what it's saying at all. It's just saying to avoid chants with profanity and instead of saying F THE GOPHERS, say something like GO SIOUX GO or something like that. Not too difficult. Atmosphere retained.

Most people playing in the game don't spend much time listening to the crowd. They will hear and even feel the volume, but they don't pay attention to the words.

Sundog Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Under the new policy, I suggest the following cheer: "Repress them! Repress them! Make them relinquish the puck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 "Repress them! Repress them! Make them relinquish the puck! We came up with this cheer 'cause we can't say f... f-forget this idea. Nevermind. A simple rafter-rattling, thunderous "Lets go Sioux" is the most intimidating thing to the opposition. It makes it very clear they aren't playing against 20, but against 11,020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could care less if people swear at hockey games...heck, I've done it before...but profanity can't be the only thing that "throws the opponent's game off". And who said you can't sieve the opposing goalie? Sure, it's directed at the other team, but the Sioux scoring is what caused the sieve chant to occur in the first place. I think you're reading too much into this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it very clear they aren't playing against 20, but against 11,020. No doubt. I remember the story that Woog has told before about visiting the old Ralph. The Sioux mounted one of their usual 3rd period comebacks against the Gophers, so Wooger called a TO. The building got so loud with the Lets Go Sioux chant that Woog couldn't even hear himself let alone his players. He just stood on the bench...

stickboy1956 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Besides "Gopher Rejects" (better yet Bulldog/Maverick Rejects) and something clever for Roe, what are some ideas for this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjriv Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Besides "Gopher Rejects" (better yet Bulldog/Maverick Rejects) and something clever for Roe, what are some ideas for this weekend?

siouxforeverbaby Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Something to the tune of "Roe, Roe, Roe your boat" would be great. Not sure if this is allowed per the Code of Conduct anymore, but Husky Women was always a good chant...PS: If you go to women's hockey and we are playing the Huskies..please don't use this chant as it makes no sense in that context!
