YaneA Posted December 13, 2002 Posted December 13, 2002 What have they finally decided to call our Christmas tournament? One page on the Ralph site calls it "Imperial Ice Classic." A pocket schedule I have calls it "Subway Holiday Classic." Was there a bidding war for naming rights? Who won? Quote
choyt3 Posted December 13, 2002 Posted December 13, 2002 Maybe they should call it "The 1st Annual 'We Promise This Is The Last Year We Host a Tourney With Three Horsesh!t Teams' Tourney". Then maybe it would be possible to draw a decent field into the Engelstad Arena in the future. Quote
ScottM Posted December 13, 2002 Posted December 13, 2002 The schedule on the board calls it the "Northern Lights Classic." I call it the "Powerpuff Gala". Were there no "Pee Wee" teams available? Quote
jimdahl Posted December 13, 2002 Posted December 13, 2002 The schedule on the board calls it the "Northern Lights Classic." Yeah, they must not have had Subway lined up as a sponsor yet when that was entered. Not coincidentally, that's the same language USCHO uses. Clearly "Subway Holiday Classic" is the newer, preferred term. Quote
twalsh666 Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 Hi everyone, I hope this is an okay place to post this... A friend and I have tickets for both nights of this tournament. However, we're only going to be able to make the second one. We're driving from Boston (not BC fans, don't worry!), and this is one stop on our hockey tour. So, we've got two tickets to the Friday games that aren't doing us any good, and we don't want them to just go to waste. If you or anyone you know would like these, let me know and I'll mail them to you. Your cost: one cheesy postcard (preferably from Grand Forks); I'm not asking for any money. This is for Friday, December 27th, Bemidji vs. UMB and Brown vs. ND. Section 108, row D, seats 21 and 22. First one to email me at twalsh@covad.net gets them. Thanks, Tom W. Quote
twalsh666 Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 The tickets I posted about above are gone. Quote
U2Bad1 Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 The tickets I posted about above are gone. What happened, did you accidently flush them down the toilet? Quote
mksioux Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 A quick question: If Manitoba defeats Bemidji State and UND defeats Brown, will UND v. Manitoba be considered a real game, or merely an exhibition (since Manitoba is not in the NCAA)? I assume it would be an exhibition...meaning the game wouldn't count in the win/loss column and the points by the players wouldn't officially count. Anyone have any insight? Quote
jimdahl Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 If Manitoba defeats Bemidji State and UND defeats Brown, will UND v. Manitoba be considered a real game, or merely an exhibition (since Manitoba is not in the NCAA)? That's correct. Games against foreign teams can't be considered for the purpose of NCAA tournament eligibility. 31.3.3.1 Countable Competition. For NCAA team-championship selection purposes, competition is countable only when the teams played are varsity intercollegiate teams of four-year, degreegranting institutions that conduct a majority of their competition in that team sport against varsity intercollegiate teams (see Constitution 3.2.4.4) of United States four-year, degree-granting institutions. Competition against service teams, professional teams, semiprofessional teams, amateur teams, two-year colleges and club teams shall be excluded. Quote
PCM Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 Well, I hope everyone's happy. This thread was mentioned on the UND coaches show. Quote
Goon Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 Ok, here is the deal we just can't allow BSU to lose and UND can have no let down against the Brown, who by the way beat SCCC and Wisconsin last year I believe. They just mentioned the message board on the coaches show and the post about the three crappy teams and a really good team... Quote
Riverman Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 Well, I hope everyone's happy. This thread was mentioned on the UND coaches show. Quote
choyt3 Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 Well, I hope everyone's happy. This thread was mentioned on the UND coaches show. Â I suppose now I'm on the s#!tlist. Quote
PCM Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 I suppose now I'm on the s#!tlist. As if that's anything new. Quote
kr Posted December 26, 2002 Posted December 26, 2002 Not sure if this had been mentioned -- CB was on 1590 am this morning -- I missed quite a bit of the conversation, however, there was some talk on the participants of this tourney. Much cheaper to have two teams which will bus in (Manitoba and Bemdiji) -- for Brown UND pays for the flight tickets and hotel ....... Tim on 1440 will try to talk to David Hakstol tomorrow morning for those in the listening area. Quote
SiouxFanInBoston Posted December 26, 2002 Posted December 26, 2002 Sorry for posting this here, but it's very last minute and I've suddenly gotten the urge to get up to the tournament tomorrow (Friday). I'm visiting relatives in Fargo. I've sent a few e-mails to people on the REA site asking if they still have tickets but no luck so far. I can't imagine tickets are sold out, but also don't want to drive all the way to Grand Forks to find out no one's selling outside the door. Does anyone know if tickets will be sold at the arena on gameday? Thank you everyone. (I'm also hoping to avoid any service charges from Ticketmaster or whatever.) Quote
sprig Posted December 27, 2002 Posted December 27, 2002 Since tickets are available on ticketmaster, they should also have them at the REA box office. Can't imagine this will be sold out.Best bet is to call ahead. Quote
forecheck Posted December 27, 2002 Posted December 27, 2002 SiouxFanInBoston, Make sure you stop at Subway first and pick up coupons for $8.50 off an adult ticket and $5.00 off a child ticket. I'm sure tickets will still be available. Quote
dagies Posted December 27, 2002 Posted December 27, 2002 Today's Herald said there are plenty of tickets avail About 9000 sold so far and they hope to go over 10,000. You should get in. Quote
SiouxFanInBoston Posted December 27, 2002 Posted December 27, 2002 Thank you, everyone. See you at the game! Quote
Riverman Posted December 28, 2002 Posted December 28, 2002 Today's Herald said there are plenty of tickets avail About 9000 sold so far and they hope to go over 10,000. You should get in. Did Scotty Hennin say 11,400 for the Brown game? Quote
Goon Posted December 28, 2002 Posted December 28, 2002 Did Scotty Hennin say 11,400 for the Brown game? I think that was a little high. There probably was 10000 though. Quote
YaneA Posted December 30, 2002 Author Posted December 30, 2002 I thought this was not bad for an inaugural edition of a holiday tournament. Next year, I'm sure they'll plan early enough so that we can get some better known teams in. Looks like they passed out decent hardware, too . I think, though, since Subway's the sponsor, the award for Tournament MVP, won this year by Bochenski, ought to be called "The HOAGIE Baker." Quote
