Only hockey team, and ahead of Nebraska and Notre Dame football?  I'll take that!

I'm surprised they didn't say the...the...well, the "new name" about 10 times in the 20 seconds of video

True.  I expected to be behind them.

[cberkas]

They did leave out how other teams have started ticket policies to keep UND fans out of games.

Agreed, he points out a lot of positives like our 5 on 5 play.

However, quantifying Bemidji St as a "bad team" at 9-2-1 is a joke.

No doubt.  You're looking at the potential WCHA champs right there.
And if they keep having a good year, that sweep will be big for UND's PWR.

Just got my email about regional tickets, I moved waaay up on priority points, 1400 now! Not even sure how that happened, think I was 2900 last year???

Oh well, think I will give it a try. I see there are SRO in a club. Is there drinking in there?

Can you have drinks in there, just not in the seats if you are in the bowl?

Go Sioux!

It's probably like the last time.

Alcohol "allowed" in suites.

Limited number of tickets will be sold for the right to enter their bar and drink alcohol (which only has a view of the ice from the tvs).

Really? Well I will try for bowl tickets, if I don't get them I will have to watch from my chair...lol, thanks.

I will be in my buddies suite once again. I so want a Gopher/Sioux game.

This year it sounds like they're doing it up way bigger - using the other sheet of ice (didn't exist for last regional there) and setting up an entertainment deal like The Ralph did at the world juniors last spring, and calling it Fan Fest.  I'm still not paying $20 a person for the entrance fee, but it should at least be a little better for those who do.

$20 wouldn't be bad if it was essentially the pre and post party and saving a bus ride from the pool hall. Trying to get a bus back was a cluster anyway.

"Fighting Sioux". Cool!

So this is brewing to be beneficial for him to stay at UND longer....right? Didn't someone else reap the benefits of that recently?

Tyson Jost named to Hockey Canada world junior evaluation camp today

[yzerman19]

As it is the my favorite month...xmas and its bestie...the World Juniors, I was perusing team Canada's camp roster.  I watch a lot of WHL where I live, and I've certainly come to know who Carter Hart is.  For those who don't follow the dub, he is a super star goalie for the Everett Silvertips.  So far this year he is 15-3-3 with a .937 and 1.65 while pitching 4 shutouts.  Why should I care as Sioux hockey fan?  Well, he was drafted in the 2nd round by Philly in 2016...you got it..1 round earlier and 1 year later than Matej Tomek...Anyway, this Carter kid is likely to be Canada's #1 netminder for the tourney.  Let the speculation on the net continue...

Those stats are ridiculous....especially for the dub.  Philly has drafted a ton of goalies the past three years.

The WJC is one of my favorite tournaments as well.  Hopefully the US can get a gold this year. I'm also hoping to see the 3 Sioux players invited make their respective teams.  Even though it may hurt us against Union.

WJC:  Boeser, Jost and whom else?
