Popular Post Fighting Sioux Hockey Posted April 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) I was going through some of my parents' keepsakes and found the end of the year section from the Grand Forks Herald recapping the 1979-80 Championship season . I figured some of you guys would like it. I can upload the pictures individually here too or to some other website. I don't post much so I don't know what is most convenient. Let me know if this Imgur doesn't work or if you guys would prefer something else. https://imgur.com/gallery/cEfw6aD Edited April 29, 2023 by Fighting Sioux Hockey Misspelling 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the world’s largest tractor and a TV from 1980 weigh the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farce poobah Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Thanks for posting! Brings back a lot of great memories. First week of school, fall 1979, and at a party where Doug Smail and Mark Taylor were both there. (Neither drinking, by the way.) I expressed surprise that Team Canada hadn't been smart enough to pick them for their Olympic Team, and both of them gave wry smiles, and said something to the effect of 'we will show them they made a mistake'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 The Hobey Baker Award was one year too late for Mark Taylor. He would have been an easy choice that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's comforting to know that your own memory of that experience is not clouded by the effects of alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WCHA POTY was Tim Harrer of the Gophers, another in a long line of Gopher forwards who never got close enough to his own goalie to even say hi. 6 hours ago, Blackheart said: He was named POTY by the Sporting News I believe. Sounds vaguely familiar. He may have benefitted in national media by being Cyclone Taylor's grandson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
