I know there’s a green out but that usually doesn’t have anything to do with what we wear on ice so I’m assuming we will still wear white jerseys.

UofM fans hate losing to UND, but it is probably a bit bigger for UND, as the Gophers also have Wisconsin. The beauty of the WCHA was there were multiple interconference rivalries. It will forever be said how that was the best conference. While this is still a rivalry, and I'm pumped that we play every year, the rivalry was so much better when we played twice per year. 4 games, plus WCHA tourney matchups, plus NCAA Tourney matchups. That many games between top programs is the recipes for a rivalry. Cheap shots, crazy goals, fights, heated tempers, close wins/losses, ending another teams season .... they all contribute. Just wish we could play them more often. I used to know their whole team. Who was good. Who was the agitator. Etc. Tough to keep track of their roster on a regular basis now. While certainly anecdotal, being a UND grad and living in the Minneapolis area, every hockey fan in my circle who cheers for Minnesota still considers it a major, major rivalry, and most in that same circle hate UND more than any other. Are you considering the casual fan who doesn't really follow college hockey vigorously? Just listen to the crowd on Friday. That's all the questions that need be answered. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've tried the white out and green outs before and our crowd just has never caught on. Sure there will be probably 70% wearing green but it will never be like those NHL arenas where literally everyone is doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thUNDer Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Being in Vegas at the Hall of Fame game just 5 years ago may change some minds about the “fiercest rivalry.” It was an awesome atmosphere as told by the LVJournal https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/north-dakota-clips-rival-minnesota-before-rowdy-hockey-crowd/amp/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 I'm anxious to see how Minnesota handles the crowd driven push by UND right away. I'm envisioning UND coming out fast and physical, the likes of which Minnesota hasn't seen to this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are more senior in terms of games played, with Minny being rather young. I'd bet this will be the loudest and most raucous atmosphere a majority of their kids have ever played (I guess the same could be said for some of our transfers, too). Gotta come out hard. Man, if we pot one early... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
