PCM Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Here's a link to the story. EDIT: It's interesting that a month ago, Johnson said he'd be back for his 12th season after signing a new two-year contract extension. Quote
UND Fan Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Anyone know what Steve will be doing back in GF? Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Were there any openings in the USHL Head Office? It is a business after all. Quote
mikejm Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Anyone know what Steve will be doing back in GF? I heard (from a fairly reliable source) that he's coming back to head up marketing for THETRIOUXPER game-worn stuff. (Or was that gamey, worn, stuff?) Quote
GeauxSioux Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 "I felt that the timing was right was right to accept an opportunity in our hometown that will allow me to spend more time with my family and still stay in hockey to a lesser extent," Johnson said. My guess is that he is going to somehow be involved with REA. Quote
SoCalSiouxFan Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 My guess is that he is going to somehow be involved with REA. First guess should be that he has accepted a promotional opportinity as head coach somewhere in the Grand Forks area. After all that is the last job on his resume and what he is good at. Also this may explain Jason Gregoire's sudden change in plans for next season. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Isn't Fargo supposed to be getting a USHL franchise soon .... Quote
Ray77 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Isn't Fargo supposed to be getting a USHL franchise soon .... Fargo does have a USHL franchise that will begin play in the 2008-09 season. Dean Blais is the head coach. Quote
UND92,96 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Has Jeff Bowen's old job with the alumni association been filled yet? If not, that would be a possibility. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Fargo does have a USHL franchise that will begin play in the 2008-09 season. Dean Blais is the head coach. Yeah, and the financing is done and construction has started on UP Center too. Quote
Ray77 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Yeah, and the financing is done and construction has started on UP Center too. Metro Sports Foundation Announces Date of Groundbreaking Quote
The Sicatoka Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Metro Sports Foundation Announces Date of Groundbreaking I've heard too many stories about arenas and hockey teams in Fargo to believe the words until I see the ice and players. I'm not saying I hope they fail; I'm saying I need to see the results and not just words before I'm believing it all. Call it healthy skepticism (after "Fargo Arena" I and II). Quote

You mean to say you don't have a suite rented? Quote
LeftyZL Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 You mean to say you don't have a suite rented? Just on a quick side note to this topic, but I looked on the website for the Fargo arena and see that it will cost $385 per seat for season tickets. Seems a little steep for a junior team, even for the number of games. I wonder how many tickets they've sold or reserved for next year. Quote

Seems a little steep for a junior team, even for the number of games. I wonder how many tickets they've sold or reserved for next year. 7 season packages sold so far...4 of them were to Coach Blais family/friends, 3 to Bison Football fans who got on the wrong website...

The Sicatoka Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 You mean to say you don't have a suite rented? Why would I downgrade from what I have? Quote
UND92,96 Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Where did Bowen move to? I believe he took a job with Bankforward, a new bank in Grand Forks. Quote
airmail Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 7 season packages sold so far...4 of them were to Coach Blais family/friends, 3 to Bison Football fans who got on the wrong website... Classic. Quote
UND Fan Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 I believe he took a job with Bankforward, a new bank in Grand Forks. That is correct. He has joined BankForward - a bank that will do a great deal for the community and for UND. This family-owned bank "does things right"! Quote
Sioux Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 That is correct. He has joined BankForward - a bank that will do a great deal for the community and for UND. This family-owned bank "does things right"! propaganda? Quote
