Pearson's Hockey Bus Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Desperately hoping for 14 more people to get on the bus to Omaha next weekend... Call/text Joanna 701-388-9825 If you are interested and want details. I am running around a lot and apologize as I won't get online to see messages as much. So calling/texting is the best way to ensure a quick reply. THANK YOU!!!! Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 If you are debating driving to Omaha, save yourself the energy and GET ON THIS BUS! 13 years after it happened, the 2005 Frozen Four trip to Columbus is still in my top five all-time Fighting Sioux hockey memories. 1 Quote
hky Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Doing a bus trip is a MUST for Sioux fans. The price is right, it couldn't be more convenient, but it's the people that make it so special. Quote
OgieOgilthorpe Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Sorry for not knowing, but where can I find the details on this bus? Lodging, pricing, time and place of leaving/returning. Thanks! Quote

franchise Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 This would be fun, if we didn't have to drive 2 hrs to get to the bus Quote

First funny story of the trip. I had loaded up on breakfast assuming we'd have a long ride ahead of us. The bus pulled over in Hudson, WI, about 10 minutes after I had hopped on and everyone piled off...at Perkins ...for breakfast. Quote

No, not really...but when it's 2 hrs minimum to EVERY game, minus the occasional game in Bemidji, it gets really old...plus I am too. The over and back two times in a weekend almost kills me now! 1 Quote
