SPEED KILLS

[Anderson2200]

What does it mean and where did it originate from?

I'm not sure. The football team uses if too. Maybe they were inspired by those old anti crank commercials?

First time I remember hearing it used at UND was in reference to the 1996-97 championship team. Guys like Jason Blake, Jay and Jeff Panzer, and Dave Hoogsteen (among others) played fast and attacked with speed. The 1997 team steamrolled to the title with a pair of 6-2 victories over Colorado College and Boston University. In the final, the Fighting Sioux overcame a two goal deficit with a five goal second period, highlighted by a shorthanded goal and a power play goal (both by Matt Henderson) and a dagger with six seconds to go in the middle frame by David Hoogsteen, his second of the period.

(Sung to the tune of Hong Kong Phooey):

Hoogsteen Phooey, number one super guy

Hoogsteen Phooey, quicker than the human eye

He's got style, a groovy smile, and a shot that just won't stop

When the going gets rough he's super tough with the Hoogsteen Phooey Chop (huh!)

Yeah, that it where I believe it originated. Think they have a "speed kills" sign in the locker room.

I believe the saying appears on the '97 team NCAA championship rings.

Great memories of that Frozen Four, especially when the final horn sounded and a guy about 20 rows up behind the Sioux net hoists up a giant sign that said: I JUST PEED MY PANTS
