I was hoping JC would go on a run in the tournament and we would see an all North Dakota matchup at some point.  Good for them for making the tournament in season #2. 

This is season 3. Made it last year too

Got to see them play a GF team with former Sioux, including Panzers, at the Lumberdome.  Cold place but great old school hockey venue. 

The Lumberdome is the first indoor rink in the state.

A WPA project, I believe.  The smell of that rink, like all cold air wood rinks, in winter is unique and something that is difficult to recall but instantly familiar when you go back.  I can still  hear the sqeaky pulley on the door from the warming room out to the home side of the ice. 

A lot of the rinks in the small wheat towns over the border in Manitoba were built just like it, except they generally had a curling rink along side.  I always thought the curling rinks looked like baby whales along side their big  round mothers.

Wow, already?  Glad to see more college teams popping up in the state.

They are also having a ACHA Division 2 team for next season. Why I don’t know. Seems strange but it does bring in student/athletes I guess

Since UND isn't in the tournament.

I will cheer for Mankato and the Purple Cows.

Go Purple Cows!

I'm all in on AIC. When I saw Mankato at UND, I thought they were the best team in the country. Them and Clown are a toss up, for me. Definitely cheering for Mankato.

Without my favorite team in the running I always go for the underdog, but I do like to pick a winner.  Combine that with the ideal in my head that I would like a prize to be won by someone deserving and not having won before and Clown College it is.....  8>1

I actually picked Quinnipiac over UMass in the bracket. Not sure why, just a hunch? haha

I'm with you guys, I figure the Moos or Clowns are due to win because of karma for all the shots I've taken at them over the years. Anybody but Daloot or Denver really is ok though.

Anyone but Denver, IMO. Duluth has two. Meh haha.

Anyone but SCSU and well DU.

I am wishing for a St Cloud win. (not all that confident given their history, but maybe all they needed was a different coach) Four different NCHC teams, four years in a row - would be great for conference recruiting and overall competitiveness.

Edit: Mankato would be a good outcome too.

I don't know if we could tolerate their insufferable fan base.

Not a fan of their fanbase, but I just care very little about the team. They've done nothing of value, to me. 

[sioux rube]

Purple Cows all the way baby!!!!

Agree.  St. Cloud wining would be a just outcome. For the past several years, they have earned it on the ice.

They'd rub it in more to the Gopher fan base.
