Of course, remember Lucia's famous quote that their traditional rivals were Bemidji, St. Cloud, Mankato and Wisconsin? Quote

I just got the email for their Pick-your-packs this morning and those are on sale July 20th. Doubt at those prices our games will sell out until single game tickets go on sale. Just another way of UND losing tickets away from home. We'll still be roaring louder at Mariucci than they will. Quote
Bleedn Green Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 The price doesn't bother me. Sioux fans will pay it. Only the die hard Gopher fans will pay to see their team get their a$$'s handed to them on home ice. It puts more Sioux fans in the building. 4 Quote
4evrSIOUX Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Does anyone know which End UND will shoot at twice? Quote
4evrSIOUX Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Where is the information on the two game packages? Quote
tho0505 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Looks like a generic rink. Any thoughts on us having the new logo on the rink or will we go with the interlocking ND (despite it being in the legacy collection)? Quote

snova4 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 I could see it being North Dakota, like on the jerseys also. 2 Quote

This will be a huge stance on their approach. The administration will push hard for the new logo to be there. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 OK, you can find a photo of the 2015-16 hockey cheer team here. You can see the interlocked "ND" at center ice. You can also (almost kinda) see it already says "North Dakota Hockey" already. I'd guess there'll be pressure for the new logo. Now, for today's amazing stat: In the picture is ... Leigh Jeanotte's granddaughter. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 New logo needs to be at center ice. The hockey team has the most national attention of any team. UND is going to want to develop brand recognition. The hockey team can be the best ones to help that. Many of their games are broadcast nationally. Having the logo at center ice is going to get the Fighting Hawks brand out there. 3 3 Quote
Big Green Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Like it or not New Logo will be at Center Ice. Booing the Ice would be a new low. Best way to get Fan's used to the logo is to force them to look at it for 2-1/2 hours twice a week a couple times a month. 4 5 Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Another thing that the hockey team could do would be to put a Fighting Hawks sticker on their helmet. Looks jsut awful and boring with nothing on there. 1 Quote

Yes, that's a good way to make people like something by forcing it down their throats. That's gonna make me hate it even more than I do now!!! GO SIOUX!!! 7 Quote

Unfortunately, UND and the Ralph aren't going to check with the Sioux Forever crowd before they decide to use the logo in any capacity for any sport. Including hockey. If you don't like the new name and logo, you may want to avoid going to any UND games for a very long time. 3 8 Quote

Hopefully the old interlocking ND but not sure what they will do. Really wouldn't mind North Dakota wrote out like on the jerseys either. Would rather go no logo at center ice than use the new one. 1 Quote

That's gonna make me hate it even more than I do now!!! GO SIOUX!!! I'm a die-hard Sioux fan. I've hated everything about the new nickname and logo process. What I hated even more, though, was being a fan in the seats at the Ralph and hearing the booing when Looker announced "..Fighting Hawks.." in any capacity. We got attention for it and while most see it as the resistance and slight rebellion against the adoption of the nickname, it makes us look terrible. Some people are never going to be okay with the Fighting Hawks deal. I'll always have a bad taste in my mouth because of how poorly everything was handled. But what we need to keep in mind is that there's nobody forcing anything down anybody's throats. Our public image is important, and we are blessed to have the diamond in the rough that the Ralph is. By putting the new logo at center ice, along with Fighting Hawks around the faceoff circle, branding can take off. It's as simple as: if you don't like the nickname, don't support it. Many have preached this from the beginning, but it speaks to the volumes of crowds that have dropped their support completely from the University. Continue to support the traditions that our historied sports program have built for over a century. It'll never change. We're still going to recruit high-class athletes, especially so with the hockey program (because it is part of the mission of North Dakota hockey) and build off of what we've made thus far. 7 Quote
Popular Post AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted July 13, 2016 Popular Post Posted July 13, 2016 I blame everyone who didn't vote rough riders. But I'll take a national championship and guaranteed blue chips for years to come over the best logo in sports. 11 Quote
NoDakFan Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 So my thought is it'll be the interlocking ND for this season. It's still a logo until after this academic year right? Only way the new logo is on center ice is if Kennedy tells Jody that it has to be. 1 Quote

I've been a season ticket holder for hockey for the last 7 years and I'm going to continue going and support the team I'm just not going to support the name. I don't yell the Fighting Hawks name, like I've said before it honestly doesn't feel right, but I've never booed it 1 Quote
