All that work just to have an outdated title count after this year? ;)

He’d have to replace the 9’s AND the X’s after next year too.

Welp, for those who kicked the tires but didn’t actually send me a direct message…

P.S.  You can still send me a message and we’ll chat about these and how you could possibly still get one.

I sometimes wear 2-3 jerseys to a game and then swap them out during period intermission.  

Is this neurosis or superstition?

So being as I brought it up in another post, I want to ask people here:

What is your take on the ENGELSTAD warmup jerseys from Saturday night?

terrible....its a desperate attempt by his daughter to still seem relevant in the Vegas scene and it's to stroke her own ego

So I’m not alone in thinking the same way…

You can find t-shirts with the names of legendary hockey alumni like Murray, Belfour, Oshie, Toews, Parise, etc. on the back at the SiouxShop…along with ENGELSTAD 23.

The Sioux “legends” bobble head collection also includes our school’s most famous backup goalie.  

I had to explain to my kids two weeks ago the two retired numbers…one to honor the tragic loss of an NCAA champion and the other to honor a guy who donated a ton of money to build the arena. 

The ENGELSTAD jerseys on the ice are it for me.  Over the top hero-worship.  I appreciate his financial gift to UND as much as anyone else - absolutely amazing - but this isn’t the ENGELSTAD UNIVERSITY hockey program.

100% agree. We can appreciate his financial gifts and his love for the hockey program but it just seems to me like UND and the hockey program are puppets to Kerry Engelstad. This "hero" appreciation that they do for him is a slap in the face to every other player that has played at UND and actually contributed to the success of the program.

The jerseys are over the top. I don’t mind the rest of the items because we would not have the amazing arena without him. Keep putting his name from and center constantly is nothing but an ego stroking. Are we going to worship him like a god for the rest of time? It’s just bad taste to do it during this destination game.

The jerseys themselves are cool and designed nice but put Vegas '22 on the back like they did for Nashville last year. You are correct, we probably wouldn't have an amazing arena without him and I'm fine with the arena being call the Ralph Engelstad Arena (has a nice ring to it) but it's the rest of the bullcrap that has come with it. 

The Vegas destination games are to stroke her ego and to let Vegas casino owners know that she's still around. Out of all the destination games that have gone on in the past ten years, there is no reason we have gone to Vegas twice. If we are playing these destination games to expand our footprint and expose new people to UND hockey, why go to the same place twice? Also, guess who the host school is when the Frozen Four goes to Las Vegas in 2026

Look at all of our opinions. How many hundreds of millions of $ have you donated to the program? (with continued support) -  Ya'll are Nit Picking because we lost and you want to blame it on someone. People just love to rag on someone with lots of money. SNORE
