Here is a look at the Sioux first opponent. While the Spartans do not have a good record the Sioux can not take the Spartans lightly as they almost beat the Gophers during the College Hockey Show case and the Gophes had to score a goal in the third period to avoid getting beat by the Spartans.

Here is a nice little clip on Fighting Sioux senior Ryan Duncan who has taken a few jabs from the WCHA fans the past few seasons. While the Sioux do not have Oshie or Toews on the team anymore, Duncan has played pretty good this season and the Sioux will need his contributions if they want to get into the NCAA title hunt.
