I heard that if your golfing in the tourney bring a lot of golf balls. I heard is long and they have a lot of water.

THETRIOUXPER · May 25, 2007

I heard that if your golfing in the tourney bring a lot of golf balls. I heard is long and they have a lot of water.

I think there is water on almost every hole, challenging course for sure. If I was an avid golpher I might play this tournament, maybe I will anyway, I'm just not sure if I want to embarass myself in front of all of those guys. :silly:

Gopher Fan in Sioux Land · May 25, 2007

there is water on the 3 holes on the front 9....and all but 2 holes on the back nine. It is challenging for those that want it to be yet it is stiill a good course for beginnners. I have a membership here and will be glad to answer any questions abo ut the course

petey23 · May 25, 2007

Not sure on this, but don't they need to be careful in using TJ Oshie's name in association with anything like this? I seem to remember a college basketball player getting in trouble with the NC$$ regarding lending his name and image to a school calender? :silly:

THETRIOUXPER · May 25, 2007

I'm just the messenger, don't shoot me.

Yttrium · May 25, 2007

TJ Oshie is helping out at the tournament. If he plays, the family will pay for his fees, etc. He participated in several events last year in GF and the same held true back then. No free lunches.

It is the Oshie's way of giving back to the community of Warroad.

TJ Oshie' name won't be on any of the promotional material of this event. And if you can remember, the Fighting Sioux Athletics calendar in 2005-06 was loaded w/ athletes pix and names.

His name is listed on the board to give it identity of where he came from. Thats all.

NorthDakotaHockey · May 30, 2007

This sounds like a great event that, sadly, I will not be able to make in person.

I have been suspended from charitable tournament play in five states this year.

An indictment on my abilities may be pending.

However, I do intend to send a donation to the tournament. I hope and trust that many of us

are in the same position to do so.

TJ has given volumes to his roots and to his schools, including his decision to remain another year at UND.

We, as fans, will all benefit from this.

Open the checkbook and send a donation. Given the volume of traffic on this board, the SiouxSports contingent,

even though not playing, can really make great strides in putting this worthwhile fundraiser over the top.

A chance to golf w/ former, current and future NHL'ers and try your luck on Lake of the Woods with a NHL or Olympic Legend. There will be a large contingency of Fighting Sioux alumni playing in this event. It will be a who's who come August 18th.

A "For Kids Sake" Auction will be taking place the evening of the golf tournament where several NHL Legends autographed jerseys will be dispersed and many other valuable items available in silent auction.

THETRIOUXPER · May 30, 2007

I would be willing to donate some of my "game used" drawers, if you're interested. :silly:

NorthDakotaHockey · July 5, 2007

Here is the latest press release out of this event . . . .

If you ain't ever been to Warroad, you'll love it. It is not only Hockeytown, USA, it is Hockeytown Heaven.

How often can we be afforded the opportunity to golf, fish, wager, and schmooze with UND and NHL stars, past and present. More

importantly, it is for a great cause. Investments of time, talent, and attention with our kids reap rewards a hundred fold.

Those investments also often require money.

If you cannot make it, as sadly I cannot, ship up a few scheckels for the cause. Well consider sending the cost of your next

carton of smokes, your next case of barley pop, your next planned trip to the blackjack table, your next

dumb purchase on e-Bay, your next donation to the Lord, or your next sleeve of jelly rolls up to the event to

ensure that it is a rousing success for the kids of the area.

Everyone attending and donating their time and talents have done much toward making this event a success.

The rest of us p'ss ants can do our part by attending, or by sending a donation. You will not regret that you did.

Tournament Organizer can be found here for address to mail

your reasoned donation. Let's give something to TJ and the kids for all of the fine things

that TJ and kids have given to us.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I might be) but isn't the Timothy Oshie they are referring to in these press releases (as the director) TJ's father Timothy and not TJ the Sioux hockey player?

Tim is organizing and running it. TJ is playing in it. All I said is you need to be careful how an NCAA athletes name is used in events like thbis.

AZSIOUX · July 20, 2007

im sure tim knows what hes doing regarding his son and other athletes, sounds like a great event, wish i could be there to play in it!

THETRIOUXPER · July 20, 2007

This golf tourney is looking like it's going to be one hell of a good time. Any poster's on here thinking of participating? The list of celebs looks pretty good. Lot's of past and present Sioux players. It will be cool to see the DOT boys together one last time before Johnny embarks on his pro career. I hope I can make it to see those two Hobeys together. To top it all off it's for a great cause.

To bad UND never thought of doing an event like this, where past players would come to a golf outing. I think there were only 4 at the siouxper swing in GF. I think this sounds like a 2 day trip TRIOUXP! Count me in.

It's too bad that the Siouxper Swing didn't meet people's expectations. This tournament should be everything that one was supposed to be and more.

NorthDakotaHockey · August 6, 2007

A bump on this big and worthwhile event that is now not far away.

If you haven't done it already, get your registrations in. If you cannot make it,

I recommend cracking the wallet and sending the tournament a small, or sizeable,

donation to ensure the success of the event. We all dribble money down our legs

on trinkets and jerseys, what say we dribble some down the leg on something worthwhile.

The kids. A good chance to give JT another shout out as well. Not to mention those

players who are returning.

Thanks to the Oshie clan for taking the time and the effort to put this toghether.
