kr Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Great article on uscho -- http://www.uscho.com/news/2003/01/27_006011.php PCM -- nice piece (but then you had good material to work with too). Quote
PCM Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 PCM -- nice piece (but then you had good material to work with too). Thanks, kr. I had always heard good things about Ryan and David, but beyond an occasional post-game interview, I'd never really met them. You're certainly right about having good material to work with. Quote
dagies Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 That was a great article. What a tribute these guys are to the Sioux program. Quote
Greyeagle Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Guys like that are a tribute to college hockey. Their mom must of been a hell of a woman. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 ... an eight-year battle with breast cancer ... As hockey fans, we think we know strong and tough. That, ladies and gentlemen, is strong and tough. Quote
PCM Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 My sister has been going through it for just over a year. I can't imagine what eight years must've been like. Quote
dagies Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Good point, guys. You know, I said these guys are a tribute to the Sioux program. Really, I should just commend them on being good young men. I'm curious if anyone else found D Hale's comment about coming back next year NOT being his decision to be interesting in any way? Does he look for that guidance from Ryan? Does he feel obligated to the team in some way? Just curious if anyone else has thoughts. Quote
sprig Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Nice story, PCM. Now the Sioux need to win an NCCA title for (and with) the Hales. Nice to be back (from AZ) to ice and hockey. Had no idea what went on last weekend until today. Brutally hot down there also; the cold feels good Quote
SiouxFanInBoston Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 I don't know who wouldn't be impressed with that article. I really enjoyed it. Thanks. Quote

Rick Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Great article. I'm sure most Sioux fans have had an opportunity to meet some hockey players over the years and probably have a "favorite". If you ever have an opportunity to say hi to Ryan....don't pass it up. Spend a few minutes talking to him. I don't think I've ever met a nicer person than Ryan Hale. Quote
Hrkac_Circus Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 I had the honor of meeting Dave Hale, a couple of months ago. All I can say he is one of the nicest guys on the hockey team easily. My friend actually made a bet with him on who would win the Ohio State, Miami football game, he owes my friend 10 bucks. Quote

Does he look for that guidance from Ryan? Does he feel obligated to the team in some way? We talked about that subject more than what is covered in the article. Both Ryan and David agreed that it's every player's dream to play in the NHL and that when the opportunity presents itself, the best thing to do is to go for it. Both of them are strongly committed to winning a national championship. A couple times they said if not this year, next year. When I asked if they'd like to play together next season, Ryan said: "I Quote
farce poobah Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 As hockey fans, we think we know strong and tough. That, ladies and gentlemen, is strong and tough. Damn right. Given the choice between a loved one with breast cancer or getting blasted in the corners by Mike Commodore, I'll take Commodore. College, plus college hockey, requires 100% focus to succeed at the level these guys play at. Its amazing they were able to stay in the game at all. And its good to have them both full strength. Nice article PCM. If Virg ever retires ...I'll vote for you. Quote
