Ask David Hale

I miss David. What a quality guy and a arse-kicking defenseman. I remember when he returned from being injured/sick before he signed. Talk about opponents having 'deer-in-the-headlights' looks. He was blowing everyone out of the rink!

Those Q and A's are pretty cool.

Do any of you remember this?

9. Q: As a University of North Dakota fan, I was wondering if there are any memories of your time in Grand Forks that stick out in your mind more than others? Do you still continue to follow UND athletics? Kristi-Grand Forks, ND & Jesse-Bismarck, ND

A: I would have to say one of my fondest North Dakota memories was when we were playing against the University of Minnesota, Paul Martin's former team, and we came back from a 3-0 deficit with 15 minutes to go in the third period. It was exciting for me because I scored one of the goals and we ended up winning in overtime. I continue to follow UND athletics, primarily hockey. Every once in a while, I check stats on the internet, especially last year since my brother was still playing. I am definitely still a fan of hockey. I follow the USHL, the WCHA, and college hockey in general. 

I know it has happened in the past, but I honestly don't remember it in '00-'01 through '02-'03 when Hale played.

UND hasn't beaten Minnesota in overtime since the 97 Final Five.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I will play the part of the mainstream media, and give him a pass.

Edit: PCM can be the mainstream media, and give him a pass.

I found the same thing. A 4-3 Sioux win in 2001-2002 where the Sioux came from behind but David didn't score. However, in 2000-2001 a 5-5 tie where David did score.

Maybe he's mixing up his games. He only played in about 90 in his Sioux career, and throw in a near death experience and who could blame him if a detail was a bit scrambled.

..throw in a near death experience and who could blame him if a detail was a bit scrambled.

Valid point.

You can't believe what Gopher fans say. They're obviously biased against David and would prefer to see Paul Martin succeed. Only the Sioux player on the same D-pair with Hale really knows what happened.
