About college hockey....we all knew that Big Ten forming a hockey league would have ramifications. But I dont think us up here in the Grand Forks area saw this coming. I read quite a bit of chat about UND and others forming a new league....it looks like a done deal. UMD will come with us....along with Denver, Colorado College, Univ Nebraska Omaha and Miami Ohio. Hoping Notre Dame decides to join although it may head to Hockey East. Remaining WCHA and CCHA teams may join together or likely have to to some degree.

There is tremendous speculation about whether the Big Ten will allow Minnesota to schedule UND in hockey (if this nickname matter isnt resolved) once UM leaves the WCHA for the Big Ten.

There is a meeting with the NCAA in late July.... but my bet is that the NCAA isnt going to budge and it is up to the North Dakota legislature to call a special session to re-vote and remove the law that was passed in the spring requiring UND to keep the Sioux nickname. Regardless of how one feels...the nickname controversy is hurting UND and will hurt....not worth it. Just call us Univ of North Dakota or UND and dont use a nickname officially. People can use what they want.

There is no doubt folks up here want us to continue the Minnesota hockey series as it is the big one for us. Wisconsin too...

I'm surprised Bemidji didn't go with too.

I agree....I wish there was some way Bemidji could come...mainly because they invested a lot recently with their new arena and that program has a lot of history.

Most UND Sioux fans could care less about St Cloud State due to past actions by their admin regarding the sioux nickname. Hopefully Mankato program can still survive.
