WiSioux Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 I know this has previously been discussed in other threads but I couldn't find one pertaining specifically to destination hockey. Brad tweeted today that UND's next destination hockey game will like be Nashville in two years. Sounds great to me! Let's just make sure the rink is big enough Quote

cberkas Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 I’m sure UND would like to get a game in Calgary and Edmonton at some point along with Saskatoon and Regina. L.A./Anaheim would be a good place, all the sights and Disneyland. San Jose Seattle after Key Arena is done. Dallas Miami, Tampa Bay was a hit so why not try Miami or maybe Orlando. I’m just going with places that haven’t hosted a Frozen Four or UND goes to to play non-conference games (i.e. Boston, I know Anaheim has hosted a Frozen Four). Quote
northernraider Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 I'm from the area, would be awesome if true. Bridgestone is a great facility and at a perfect location. I'll even bring a few friends and family with me for new fighting hawks fans. Hopefully it's not during college football season or there will be very few casual observers. On Saturdays in SEC country nothing else matters. I place my bets with UAH being involved somehow. 1 hour ago, WiSioux said: I know this has previously been discussed in other threads but I couldn't find one pertaining specifically to destination hockey.

Apparently they've been in talks for a year, just not sure who the opponent will be yet (anybody have some inside information???) Quote
gsiouxo Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Was mentioned at a UND function couple weeks ago Penn State... others are saying Michigan Quote
burd Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Lumberdome in mid January hosting BC. They can stay in Rugby. Quote

The only way I see that happening is if they play a tournament type setting with UND guaranteed to play a big name school. Quote

NCHC could get two UND and lets say Denver to play Minnesota and Wisconsin at one of these destination games. Then just have the teams switch the next day. Quote
cberkas Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 You'd think College Hockey Inc. would jump at these opportunities that UND works to do. Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Schlossman: UND still hopes to put destination hockey game in Nashville http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4451452-schlossman-und-still-hopes-put-destination-hockey-game-nashville "If this game gets done, the opponent will be Penn State, barring any late changes."

The Sicatoka Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Bridgestone is a nice arena in a good part of town to host hockey fans. I can personally verify those statements. No further comment. Quote
scpa0305 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Penn state? Dang I was hoping for a bigger game than that. 2 Quote

Honestly, Penn St has a good following and usually sells out their barn. They'll only be better and more established in 2 years. I know they're not a blue blood but I like the opponent. Quote
