Hockey Dude Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 T.J. Oshie carries his Ojibwe Indian heritage with him every time he dons a UND Fighting Sioux jersey. Excerpt from feature by Dennis Dodd: "North Dakota center T.J. Oshie is proud of his Native American heritage. Coursing through his veins is a significant amount of Ojibwa Chippewa blood. Oshie is equally proud of his team. Seven national championships, in addition to its third consecutive Frozen Four this week in St. Louis, make North Dakota the UCLA (OK, maybe Florida) of college hockey. It is the reason the Ojibwa became a Fighting Sioux."

Oshie himself is offensive? I hope that they don't make him transfer to Central Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It's a good read, thank you very much. With all the known info I don't see how the case doesn't get thrown out when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
