YaneA Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 A great honor for a player of great honor and humility! What a blast to have been in the arena for the announcement; I was bursting with pride. Al Pearson's bus had "inside" information (a.k.a. The Band Theory) that the Hobey was Duncan's and almost all of the 80 people on our two buses were there for the ceremony along with a lot of other Sioux fans. Forecheck can verify that I texted the rumor to her just as she was preparing to leave for the arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiSioux Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I was also at the Hobey Ceremoney (in that section in the end by the band) and I am SOOOO glad that I decided to go. I knew that the band would be there because my friend is in the band and told me... so I had hope, but in all reality I expected Ehn to win it because of the whole Air Force thing... that however did not stop my friends and I from cheering wildly when Duncan was introduced and as often as we could throughout the ceremony. I loved the story that Duncan's dad told about him.... about how he fell on the ice and basically his dad wouldn't let him get off the ice because he had heard that you have to get them back on the ice right away. It is too bad that his mother wasn't present... I later read that she is out of the country (out of town?) so that is why she wasn't there. It would have also been cool if our team had been present just to see their reactions. Overall, it was an amazing experience! The roar of the crowd gave me chills... I can't imagine how Duncan was able to give a speech... Congrats Duncan!!!! You deserve it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 A week or so ago, I posted that Ryan Duncan won the Hobey. I got teased a bit for my 'presumption'. I love coming back and saying, "I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!" Congratulations, Ryan. You ARE the best man for the award!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farce poobah Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 http://www.grandforksherald.com/ap/index.c...mp;id=D8OG08GG0 The school's last Hobey Baker winner, Tony Hrkac in 1987, called Duncan to offer congratulations. "I didn't recognize the phone number, but picked it up anyway and it was Tony Hrkac," Duncan said. "He didn't have to do that." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 For Sioux fans in the Twin Cities, KSTP-TV is doing a profile on Ryan Duncan that should run on the 6 p.m. news tonight. The story or another version of it might also run on KSTP's 10 p.m. Sunday newscast. The station will be posting a longer version of the story on its Web site within the next few days.

siouxguyinstpaul Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 It was good, especially here, but the SSM connection was the evident and the only reason it aired in this market, but that's OK -- thanks for the tip PCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I loved that camera shot when Duncan is standing on the ice! I find it interesting that the Minneapolis news station even covered this story. It shows what respect Duncan gets outside the state of North Dakota. The only disappointing thing with this story is he wasn't wearing anything with the Sioux logo. Do you think this was done at the request of KSTP or was Duncan showing that his award is an honor for the entire WCHA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know I haven't seen it yet because I am in a meeting and can't have my sound on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason it was done here is because he went to school at SSM - but I'm surprized it ran at all although that tie to SSM is apparently enough for the metrosexuals here to lay some type of claim to him.

There are Sioux logos throughout the story. The story opens with a shot of Duncan standing beneath 13 banners with logos on them. He's shown on the ice with his teammates in their uniforms with Sioux logos on them. If the station was trying to avoid showing the Sioux name and logo, they did a pretty poor job of it.
