Coach Hakstol suspended for two games.

First none of us should be surprised, not a big shock here. Second the Unversity of North Dakota had to take the high road in this case, they had no choice. All of us knew the punishment was coming. Now I think we can all move on Hakstol admitted me made a mistake, Dave wrote a letter addressing this, the coach regrets his mistake, human beings make mistakes.

UND co-acting athletic directors Betty Ralston and Steve Brekke announced today that UND head men’s hockey coach Dave Hakstol has been suspended for its next two games for his actions during a men’s hockey game Saturday at the University of Minnesota.


Ralston said the disciplinary action was determined by the University of North Dakota and was made independent of any decision or action by the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.

“We hold all University of North Dakota coaches and student-athletes to the highest standards of sportsmanship, conduct and ethical behavior,” Ralston said. “We expect our coaches to keep themselves and their teams in control at all times. Profane language and poor behavior on the part of our coaches and student-athletes is unacceptable.”
