If anything, I think the NCHC needs to work on its own branding first. They don't need to jump at the first team that wants to join. They hold all of the cards. All I keep hearing what a great hockey trip. They don't have an arena and Allegiant flights to Mesa, AZ, are relatively cheap. 1 Quote

But yes, would love to see non-conf action each season vs Minn State. I wouldn't mind swapping out Bemidji for an occasional series vs. the purple cows. Quote

You say they don't have an arena which seems to be a negative but then follow it up by saying flights are cheap... which seems contradictory because it is a positive. Am I missing something? 2 Quote

Some had said they want the NCHC to add ASU because it would be a great trip during the winter. In other words, the NCHC doesn't need to add ASU to have an excuse to travel to Tempe. Quote

Cratter Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 People want the Sundevils to NCHC because it's a school well known school across the country. Hockey or not. It's better to take a first time non UND hockey "fan" to a game vs Arizona State than against, "Who? Where are they located?" That seems to dominate the college hockey landscape. 1 Quote

lawkota Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Tentative schedule from Schlossman Pretty much as UND85 previously posted Also I think banner raising will be the exhibition game. Quote

At the Frozen Four last year a UMD fan, college student age, came up to us and got all over us about how racist our Fighting Sioux gear was, the most racist thing he has ever seen. As soon as we challenged him about racism and UMD fans doing their "Smallpox Blankets" and "We Stole Your Land" cheers,he quickly changed the subject and asked if the Red River was flowing north yet this year (2015). I said it flows north during the odd months and south during the even months. He accepted that and moved on. 2 Quote

Bob Dylan dissed the town's commercialization of it in the song Desolation Row. Pot meet kettle. Two decades from now they'll be clinging on to their one championship as the greatest moment of their lives. 2 Quote

The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against Siouxman when UND hockey is on the line!" 7 Quote
