So how do you know when a rivalry is unhealthy? I'll hang up and listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivalries are unhealthy when: 1. One of the competitors holds advantage over enough contests that demoralizes the other fan base decreasing interest and hype. 2. the fan bases talk more shat than sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is interesting. Mike Babcock joins Vermont as volunteer advisor to coaching staff Quote Former Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock will serve as a volunteer advisor to the coaching staff of the University of Vermont’s men’s hockey team. Former NHL defenceman Mark Stuart is also joining the team as a volunteer assistant coach. Babcock, 57, was fired by the Maple Leafs in November after the team opened the season with a 9-10-4 record. In 1,301 games as the head coach of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, Detroit Red Wings and Maple Leafs, Babcock has accrued a 700-418-164 record with 19 ties. He was behind the bench when the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup in 2008 and coached Team Canada to two Olympic gold medal wins in 2010 and 2014. At Vermont, “Babcock’s role will be to serve as a resource for the coaching staff, lending his experience and perspective as one of the top hockey minds in the world,” a statement from the school says.

brianvf Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 UAA dropped their men's hockey program for financial reasons. The writing has been on the wall for the UAA (and possibly UAF) for awhile now, but that's tough for them. I always wanted to make that roadtrip when UAA and UND were both still in the WCHA. RIP UAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvHockey Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 We also wanted to get up there once, and on the last trip there (non-conference) my brother and I made it up. Flew up on the team plane, back on it too, wearing Sioux gear. Players gave us fist bumps and high 5's. Coach Barry stopped and chatted and thanked us for making the trip. He is a class act all the way. So was Hak on other prior trips. Flew by Denali- that was worth the trip by itself. Saw Earthquake park, went to Homer. It was so fun we want to go again, sadly that won't happen now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KS SIOUX Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 http://nahl.com/news/story.cfm?id=29801 Not sure were this fits in the forum but KC Scouts (Via Topeka & Tomek) inaugural NAHL team is second in the NAHL to opt out of the season due to COVID. Hopefully not a sign of the future for other hockey situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humboldt Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Looks like the DU Pioneers nickname debate is still going on.
