Comparing the Trophies (NCHC vs. B1G)
Jackie was too chicken to put this picture up herself, even though she has full blogger rights on this blog. :) So, I will take the heat for her. Comparing the two trophies which one do you like better? Obviously, I like the Julie and Spencer Penrose Memorial Cup better.

Big Ten Hockey: To use Point System like NCHC
Brad Elliot Schlossman from the Grand Forks Herald, is reporting that the Big Ten Hockey conference will use a point system like the one that the NCHC announced a few weeks ago.
This past May, it was announced that the Big Ten will also use the shootout.
This past May, it was announced that the Big Ten will also use the shootout.
Big Ten will use the same point system as NCHC: 3 for reg/OT win; 2 for SO win; 1 for SO loss; 0 for reg/OT loss.

UND Hockey Jersey's for 2013-14
Here's the new UND Hockey Jersey's via the NCHC twitter account. Thoughts? Based on some of the responses I have seen, I maybe in the minority, but I like these jerseys. I did confirme with the UND Hockey team, that there’s no difference in this season’s jersey from last year.

Forum headline: Former UNO, UND football coach arrested in Iowa
The Fargo Forum probably was falling all over itself to put up that headline. To quote the A.P. article that the Forum doctored, "[Pat] Behrns had been head coach of the University of North Dakota football team from 1980 to 1985." Behrns hasn't coached at UND for 28 years. This is the same newspaper that won't hold their head football coach or the football players at NDSU accountable.

UND Football: Dexter Albrecht explains ‘30 Minutes or Less'
I was able to ask Dexter
Albrecht the Director of Ticket
Sales & Promotions at the University of North Dakota, a few questions about
the University of North Dakota’s ‘30 Minutes or Less’... Which UND is running on July
31, 2013. It's a season tickets promotion for UND football, where if you order
season tickets and you live in the Greater Grand Forks Metro Area and you don’t
have them delivered to your home or business by the UND football
staffers, student-athletes and athletic department officials in 30 minutes or less, they’ll
be free.
Eric Burton: So, you can guarantee that every UND fans living in the Greater Grand
Forks Metro Area that orders a Season Ticket will have it in 30 minutes or
less?
Dexter Albrecht : I don’t think I can 100% guarantee
that, and that is kind of the hook for this. You can get to most places in town
in 30 minutes or less, but we’re limited on cars, drivers, and coaches so if we
get swamped with orders it will be difficult to get tickets to everyone. We
could be giving some away or a lot away depending on how many orders we get.
The main reason we wanted to do with this was to create awareness
to the program, and the great home schedule we have. Last year football
attendance increased over 1300 fans per game and currently we have already sold
close to as many season tickets as where we finished last year, so we’re on
pace for some great ticket numbers. Along with that we traditionally have a lot
of people that wait until the week of the first game to purchase season
tickets. We wanted to give those people a reason not to wait to purchase their
season tickets, as well as maybe get some people who were on the fence about
getting them.
If you break it down with the schedule we have I really think you
will have a hard time finding a better value for your entertainment dollar in
the state of North Dakota, Southern Manitoba, or Northwest Minnesota than
season tickets for as low as $75 a seat for 7 home football games with 5 of
them being against ranked opponents.
Eric Burton: Also, will the team deliver season the tickets to a
person’s place of work if they want; if that person lives in the Greater Grand
Forks Metro Area?
Dexter Albrecht: We will deliver these tickets to anywhere that our fans would
like, as long as it’s in Grand Forks/East Grand Forks city limits. Home, work,
or your own business it doesn’t matter to us.
Eric Burton: Taking a look at the UND football schedule, it looks
like UND’s schedule is again one of the toughest home schedules in FCS Football?
Dexter Albrecht: It does look like a tough home schedule and I know the coaches
and players are fired up for the season. While it’s a tough home schedule it’s
also a very attractive schedule for fans.
To give you an idea of how attractive the schedule is for no just
UND fans but casual college football fans, we have actually had multiple people
who have purchased UND season tickets this year that have also told me they also
have football season tickets for North Dakota State, and Montana State. I’ve
also had people tell me they are fans of NDSU, Montana, and Montana St. first,
but they live in the area and can’t make all of those schools games purchase
season tickets with us because of the value of the tickets and the great home
schedule we have. To me that’s great, we’ll take those fans and try and convert
then to UND fans, or fans of both schools.
I would also guess that we will probably have some of these fans
of other schools who won’t purchase season tickets with us, but they will still
come to a game or two of ours because of all the big games on our schedule.
That’s a credit to the Big Sky Conference as well as schools like NDSU, SDSU,
and USD. There are a lot of people in the state and region that cheer for
success for all of the local Universities and casual college football fans in
the Dakotas do not have very far to go anymore to see great college football
week in and week out and that’s exciting for everyone.
I would also say that statement translate into all sports
(basketball, volleyball, etc) with the four Dakota schools all being Division
one now. With us being in a different conference we offer fans of those schools
an opportunity to see schools they don’t normally see in the Missouri Valley
Conference, and the Summit League which makes us a little unique and I think
that is attractive to casual fans. They all know who Montana, Montana State and
Eastern Washington are in football or who Weber State is in Men’s Basketball.
Goon’s World would like to thank Dexter
Albrecht for stopping by and answering a few questions. UND opens the 2013
season against Valparaiso August 29, 2013,
at 7:00 p.m. at the Alerus Center.
Season-ticket packages start at $75 per seat and
are also available for purchase any time at undsports.com.

UND hockey to play UBC in January 2014
UND to play in British Columbia on Jan. 2-3; Canucks home on Jan. 1. Jets home on Dec. 31. Sounds like a good trip.
— Schlossman (@SchlossmanGF) July 19, 2013
The University of North Dakota is scheduled to play two exhibition games against the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds on January 2-3, 2014 and of course some fans that aren't happy with the decision, but I think it's a great idea. In fact, the idea is a stroke of genius. Think about the exposure that this exhibition series will give the UND hockey team. This series could be a great recruiting event for the UND hockey team. It's also a great way to expose the Western Canadians to the NCHC. I know in the past, there has been some talk about letting the Canadian teams join the NCAA hockey and there is a team, Simon Fraser Clan of Burnaby, B.C. that already plays in Division II sports. I look at this as an opportunity.

Former UND forward Corban Knight signs with Flames
Not clear yet whether Corban Knight becomes UFA on July 1st or 5th but won't matter - agreed to terms on 2-yr entry level deal with CGY.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 18, 2013
Former UND forward Corban Knight is taking his talents to his native Alberta, Canada. Knight's rights were traded to the Calgary Flames and according to TSN's Bob McKenzie, Knight has also signed a two year entry level deal with the Flames.
NHL.com --- The Calgary Flames on Tuesday acquired center Corban Knight from the Florida Panthers in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft.
According to TSN's Bob McKenzie, Knight then reached agreement with the Flames on a two-year entry-level contract.
Knight, a 2009 fifth-round (No. 135) selection by the Panthers, just completed his fourth season at the University of North Dakota where he was a top 10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Award as the nation's top collegiate hockey player.
"Corban Knight is a player our scouts have been watching closely throughout his collegiate career," Flames general manager Jay Feaster said in a statement released by the team.
He led the Fighting Sioux in assists (33) and was second in goals (16) and points (49) and third in penalty minutes (40). He finished his college career with 52 goals and 94 assists for 146 points along with 145 penalty minutes in 161 games.

According to Court house news, UND the Coyotes.
You know, if you're going to write a story, you should at least get your story straight first before you post it. This is shoddy work here, it's pretty obvious if you spent half a minute that the University of North Dakota has, and uses no nickname at the current time.
Joseph O’Connell, Court House News Service --- "However meaningful the nickname's grant may have been, there was no contract because there was no indication of mutual intent to create a legal obligation, let alone an obligation sufficiently definite and certain that a court could require its performance," the six-page ruling states.
Furthermore, any emotional harm claimed by the committee would not be relevant because "the committee complains of injury from UND's ceasing to use a name because of the policy of an association to which UND voluntarily belongs."
"Even if the Committee's alleged injury is sufficiently concrete and particularized, it does not result from the invasion of a legally protected interest," Benton wrote.
The court also found no support for the claim that the NCAA violated its own rules of due process.
"The committee cannot complain of being denied due process by the NCAA because, as a nonmember, it was entitled to none from the NCAA," Benton wrote.
After the North Dakota Legislature repealed a state law requiring UND to use the nickname and American Indian head logo, voters overwhelmingly approved the measure in the 2012 primary.
UND now uses the nickname Coyotes.

Big story of the afternoon: Jim Scherr might be leaving the NCHC
The "big story" to break this afternoon is that NCHC commissioner Jim Scherr might be leaving the NCHC to take another job. Okay, more power to Commissioner Scherr for possibly getting another opportunity, I have never faulted anyone that has had an opportunity to better themselves and move on.
There were a lot of people that are upset with what transpired two summer ago and will always hold a grudge towards the way things were handled. I don't blame them, it could have been handled better. Maybe the optics were that great and there were a few glitches getting the league off of the ground but none of them have marveled the WCHA's questionable tournament marketing scheme.
That being said, there are some that just can't help themselves. I have had a lot of discussion with other fans, bloggers and media types about the formation of the NCHC. It's water over the bridge. None of us were asked for our opinion, so really we're just bystanders.
So how does that affect the average fan that will be watching college hockey this fall and winter. Won't mean a thing. The fans are going to go the game no matter who is running the league office.
Brad Schlossman, Grand Forks Herald -- Prior to joining the NCHC, Scherr was the chief executive officer of the U.S. Olympic Committee.No matter what the NCHC does, there are going to be the distractors and haters. That is just a fact of life. To these haters, nothing the league does is going to change their opinion. Some of the haters are the foam at the mouth variety. The fact that the University of North Dakota is involved in the NCHC makes their foaming at the mouth a bonus. All it is; is blind hatred and jealousy. That's what this boils down to.
UND athletic director Brian Faison, the chair of the NCHC board of directors, said he’s aware of Scherr’s discussions with “another job opportunity,” but says nothing has been finalized yet.
“The NCHC board of directors is well aware that commissioner Scherr has been approach with another job opportunity,” Faison said in a statement. “The recent published reports that Jim has already accepted a position are erroneous. He has been forthcoming with information regarding a competing bid for his services. Since this is an internal personnel matter, the conference will offer no further comment at this time.”
There were a lot of people that are upset with what transpired two summer ago and will always hold a grudge towards the way things were handled. I don't blame them, it could have been handled better.

UND recruit Christian Evers drafted by the London Knights
With the 99th overall pick, the London Knights are pleased to select Christian Evers in the 5th Round of the 2013 #OHLDraft!
— The London Knights (@GoLondonKnights) April 6, 2013
Being a high profile program, the University of North Dakota Hockey team has had some of their highly sought recruits decommit and go a different route.
It’s been highly documented as of late.
In August, right before the 2011-12 season, J.T. Miller decommitted from UND, and signed a signed with the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League. Miller’s decommit put UND in a precarious situation. Without Miller, UND immediately became a different type of team.
In 61 games with the Plymouth Whalers, Miller scored (25g-37a—62). After his season with the Whalers was over, Miller played in eight games during the Calder Cup playoffs for the Connecticut Whale of the AHL.
This season, Miller was called up to the New York Rangers and scored two goals, leading the Rangers to a 4-1 victory.
Last January, USDT U18 recruit Stefan Matteau, who had originally committed to play at the University of North Dakota, decommitted from UND, and decided to play for the Blainville-Boisbraind Armada of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
Matteau had a strong start to the season with the Armada (18g-10a—28pts) in 35 games and was invited to the New Jersey Devils camp once the NHL lockout was settled.
Matteau ended up playing in the Devils first five games of the season before being a healthy scratch for the next four games in a row.
The New Jersey Devils could have sent Matteau back to Blainville-Boisbraind, but instead he remained with the New Jersey Devils and last night he was skating on a line with former Fighting Sioux forward Travis Zajac and Ilya Kovalchuk to start the game.
Matteau has played 17 games with the New Jersey Devils this season, scoring (1g-2a—3pts). On the March 17, 2013, Matteau was returned to his junior team Blainville-Boisbraind Armada and has scored (1g-4a—5pts) in 6 QMJHL playoff games.
In April of 2012, Miles Koules announced that he had decommitted from the University of North Dakota and was going to be a member of the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL. In his first season with Medicine Hat, Koules recorded (19g-21a—40pts) in 69 games for the Tigers.
This past November, Brendan Lemieux, son of former NHL pest Claude Lemieux, left the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL, decomitted from the University of North Dakota, and decided to play with the Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League. In 42 games with the Colts, Lemieux scored an unimpressive (6g-8a—14pts).
We’re not done yet!
UND has two other recruits that have been drafted by the OHL clubs. Nick Schmaltz brother of current defenseman Jordan Schmaltz was drafted by the Windsor Spitfires last spring. Nick has not ruled out going to the Spitfires.
Also, today, UND recruit Christian Evers was drafted in the 5th round by the London Knights in the OHL Draft. Lets just say, UND fans are a little worried, based on past experience, if Evers will ever make it to UND. Evers is an impressive kid who is 6’4” and 200 pounds who will turn 16 on May 25, 2013. So you have to think, that the London Knights, will be hard after Christian Evers, to sign with them.
Evers had an impressive year with the Omaha AAA Hockey Club 16U team, scoring (17g-42—59pts) in 67 games. Evers tweeted this on his twitter account today. So, only time will tell.
Can't wait to be apart of UND in a few years. That's what I mean when I said "Can't wait for things to play out." #SorryForTheConfusion
