Fighting Sioux to play Miami RedHawks. (edited)

According to post from a fan on MiamiHawk talk.com the Miami RedHawks are coming to UND to play a in Thanksgiving Weekend Showcase. This means that the RedHawks will play one game against the Fighting Sioux Hockey team next thanksgiving weekend. I am excited that I will finally get to see the Fighting Sioux beat the RedHawks in REA. Maybe the swoonskies from SCSU can finally beat the RedHawks.

Bringing this thread back to hockey scheduling....

At the Red & White Club luncheon yesterday, Coach Blasi again explained the out of conference plans. He mentioned the Thanksgiving trip to North Dakota, hosting St. Cloud, going to New Hampshire, and playing home and home with Robert Morris, with the game in the Burgh to be the one game RMU annually plays at Mellon Arena. It would be after Christmas some time. He made it sound like all of that will take place next season. He's mentioned all of this before, including the return trips with those schools, except the only 'news' to me was the mention of RMU. I'm not sure how it works with the number of O-O-C games available.

    I hope it happens. Presumably the series would commence next season in Grand Forks with a return trip to Oxford in '11 or '12? Should be fun.

    I got a chance to see Miami play in last year's regional.

    Very skilled team, they just couldn't get the puck in the net at the end of the game.

    I have heard that Bemidji and Ohio State will be the other two teams playing in Grand Forks on Thanksgiving weekend. Bemidji and UND will flip-flop opponents so that Ohio State and Miami don't play each other.

    I would imagine that UND and BSU are playing a home and home as well this next season eh?

    I have heard they are not next year, but will resume the year after. What I have heard is Mankato (2), Duluth (2), Minnesota (2), Omaha (2), Miami (1) and Ohio State (1). They would still have room for six more non-conference series as the CHA will have 18 conference games.

    Whoops, should have said games, not series.
