Yote 53 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I have read UNI being linked with college hockey several times on this board. I haven't heard a whisper about that anywhere but here. UNI, a Valley basketball school, adding hockey? No chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance. there are a lot of schools that have added d1 hockey recently that a lot of people said "no chance" and they didn't even have 1 junior hockey programs in their state much less 5...... i think the first iowa school to add d1 hockey will look back on it and say they were correct in doing so.....

I've played against the ISU club team at Hilton back in the early 90's when I was on Team Midwest HS All-Star team. We regularly played the ISU club team and crushed them. That turned me off of "club" hockey as I thought it was garbage seeing as how a bunch of high school kids could kick the crap out of them. Played football out of HS instead as that is what was being offered in front of me. That or a tryout for a junior team in Kalamazoo, MI. I chose college football. Iowa not only has a conference home waiting for them they also have a D1 hockey level arena sitting there begging for them to move into in Coralville. I'm to the point where (as a big Hawkeye fan) I am actually getting really negative of my views on their athletic department for their short-sighted refusal to start D1 hockey. Oh, and USD and SDSU are going to rue the day they let Augustana beat them to the D1 hockey punch. That program is taking over Sioux Falls. I'm watching it happen in real time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm watching it happen in real time. couldn't you say the same kinda about uni and adding hockey.........set yourself apart from all the other d1 programs (especially the non 2 big ones) in the state of iowa? yes...they don't have the arena but having schools like University of MIinnesota and UND and Wisconsin, and Arizona State AND Augustana (haha) coming to town for hockey would be a huge huge draw imo..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXFAN97 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Would fenton have more of a chance of grabbing UNI and or Drake if the MVC loses MSU (already did), Belmont (possible A10 invite to replace UMass), and UIC (possible Horizon invite to even them at 12)? MVC would be losing two of their biggest media markets in Nashville and Chicago. Plus if Fenton got St Thomas and Youngstown to joing Summit Football UNI wouldn't be happy with whatever football teams would be in whatever the MVFC would offer.....UNI, ISUr, ISUb, Murray St, SIU...need 1 more...Drake moves from Pioneer? MVC would be down to 5 FB / 9 oly UNI Drake Bradley ISUr ISUb SIU Murray State Evansville Valpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXFAN97 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 i see 3 possiblilies that the MVC could do to replace those 3 and it would kill the Summit League..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXFAN97 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 let's say omaha accepts an invite to the MWC and Fenton evokes the "either you with us or against us mantra" and he evicts the Mavs and they accept a CCHA membership... is a watered down MWC/CCHA membership better than a Summit/NCHC membership to Omaha's fans? this goes back to someone's post of here where Fenton can hold or use hockey membership inthe ncha/summit over the heads of schools that want to leave for greener olympic sports pastures...........like St. Thomas will try to do down the road (sooner than later imo)...... lock em up fenton! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised if they have already been in talks with the NCHC to be the 10th. New arena is on the way. They also already play Denver and Omaha in basketball.
