MDtoGF Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Great group of games at the Ralph yesterday with more on tap today. 1st 2 games were close all the way through with USA finishing strong winning 8-2. Post thoughts on any aspect of the tournament from atmosphere (was terrific yesterday) to games/anything in between. Quote

I plan on attending tonight's Canada match, but photos from the Herald seem like a small crowd for yesterday's USA match. However, lot of cool pictures on Instagram are floating around. Quote
MDtoGF Posted April 15, 2016 Author Posted April 15, 2016 The crowd last night was decent... more than the AHL game but less than full. A lot of people left as USA piled on more goals.For the opening it was a bit more crowded. Quote

UND1981 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I'm going to the Canada-Denmark game tonight to watch Tyson Jost and to see if Brock Boeser is there to watch him. Brock was at the USA game last night. Quote

MDtoGF Posted April 17, 2016 Author Posted April 17, 2016 Interesting Tournament so far... all Non USA Canada games have been one goal games. great games today at the Ralph as Russia won in OT and Canada won 3-1 over Czech Republic. Jost had a point. The turnout today was the best of any of the three days and Team USA looks awesome. Quote

Brock was at the USA game last night. He and several others are volunteers doing stats for the games. They go back and forth from press box to ice level media room. Quote

MDtoGF Posted April 21, 2016 Author Posted April 21, 2016 Here is a preview of all five games that are going to be played tomorrow. Should be a great day of hockey. https://seamoresports.com/2016/04/20/five-games-five-predictions-u18-worlds/ Quote
NoiseInsideMyHead Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I am calling out GF, Fargo, and beyond: get to the Ralph and support this event. Please. The overall quality of life here depends, in part, on drawing cool stuff, and drawing cool stuff IN THE FUTURE depends on whether people go to stuff NOW. Empty seats are ugly. For all of our fun and mocking at the expense of the B1G joke, the Ralph is now at risk of being the saddest show on TV. Prove to the WORLD that this is a hockey town, and not just a UND men's hockey town. 2 Quote
dmksioux Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I went to the U.S. game against Switzerland this week and the place was pretty empty. One thing they could have considered was to have a discounted price for kids, maybe have kids 12 and under free or maybe pay a couple bucks. Get the kids there and parents will have to take them and pay. My brother in law had to bring his 4 year old daughter with until his wife was done with an appointment and able to pick her up...had to pay $15 for her (same price as an adult) and she didn't watch any of the game.

Prove to the WORLD that this is a hockey town, and not just a UND men's hockey town. It's great hockey. At least half (depending on which mock draft you look at) of the projected first rounders in this year's NHL draft are in GF this week. Finland's Puljujarvi may go second or third. We have one committed recruit playing - Tyson Jost on Team Canada and he looks really, really good. Almost the USA's entire roster will play college hockey somewhere next year. USA vs. Finland at 3 p.m. and Canada vs. Sweden at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the semis. Tickets are lower bowl for $25, $30, or $35, and include both games. Same deal Sunday for the medal games. Quote

southpaw Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Today's game is on NHL network. First two sentences of the intro were essentially free advertising for UND and the hockey team Quote

I've spoken with some Canadians around town while shopping the past week and not one of them know about the tournament going on. For or the average joe I think it's been a struggle just to find out who is playing at what time. I know for me I had to go to the Ralph's site, click on a link to show me the game times, click on another link to find out the ticket packages, then decipher who is playing at what time. Google iihf u18 and the 2015 tourney link pops up above this year's. The herald has done a few write ups but i haven't seen much. I mean there's families that have travelled here from the other side of the world! There is top nhl prospects playing here! TSN has shown plenty of big names from the NHL in the stands and in the suites over the past ten days. Today Lou lamorello and Brendan shannahan are in the house but does anyone know? Quote
