My favorite cheer is when a dead gopher slides across the ice.

We have the greatest tandem of school fight songs in all of college sports.

Not to mention the balls to stand firm on a proud tradition and heritage of The Fighting Sioux . . . .

The name, and the tradition, is all that the people know. We don't need no stinking chants or cheers, not that we need any. This said, Guck the Fophers ain't bad.

By the way, my favorite one in Mariucci, on those regular occasions when the Sioux are taking to the Gophers and there are therefore no other chants to be heard from the legions of Mariucci fair weather faithful is . . . .

N-O-R-T-H-D-A-K-O-T-A North Dakota! North Dakota! Ehhhhh Sioux!!!

M-I-N-N-E-K-O-T-A ain't bad either.

"Brown & Yellow" is another.

Happy Holidays WPoS. You are a fine, although a somewhat misguided and uninformed, man.

Another funny story from Duluth. Looks like some youth teams are going to be hitting the outdoor ice for the rest of the year.

Zamboni explodes; fire destroys arena

Larry Oakes, Star Tribune

December 20, 2004

DULUTH -- A Duluth hockey arena was destroyed and at least two people suffered minor injuries Sunday night after a Zamboni ice-resurfacing machine exploded during a broomball game, starting a major fire and sending players and spectators fleeing.

"It looked like the Zamboni doors flew off onto the ice," a player told KDLH-TV in Duluth, referring to the doors of the enclosure in which the Zamboni sat while waiting to go on to the ice. The explosion happened about 9:40 p.m. at Peterson Arena, 3501 Grand Av. in west Duluth.

The witness said the explosion started ceiling insulation on fire, and the building was quickly engulfed.

"There were people on the ice that got hit by the doors," the player told the television station. "We all just ran out of there. I think everybody got out."

Battling the fireAssociated PressA nursing supervisor at St. Mary's Medical Center in Duluth said this morning that one person was treated at the hospital and released.

Player Ryan Ringsred, who was bandaged, picked small pieces of Plexiglas from the back of his neck. He was on the ice when the explosion happened.

"I was facing the boards when they blew up," Ringsred said. "I was on the ice and the Zamboni blew up behind me. I was flat on the ice."

About 30 people -- including two broomball teams and a handful of fans -- were inside the building at the time of the explosion.

People who live near the arena reported hearing two loud booms and shortly afterward seeing flames shooting out of the building.

Police blocked off streets leading to the arena and city buses were called so evacuees could get out of the cold. Natural gas and electric service were shut off to the burning building, a move that also cut power and gas in the surrounding neighborhood.

By 10:15 p.m., the fire had engulfed the north side of the building, and police cleared out the warming house when it looked as if the fire might reach nearby power lines.

Peterson Arena is one of two city-owned arenas managed by the Duluth Amateur Hockey Association, which operates some 60 youth hockey teams for more than 800 players.

The arena was scheduled to be the site of a number of tournaments through March, according to the association's Web site.
