Just to clear up the record McLeod did come to WCHA office at DU from UMD. I am going to make a prediction, the WCHA office will be moved out of Denver University in the future. Just a hunch… This isn’t the first time I have heard this kind of talk and there are a few fans that are upset with the way things have transpired in the WCHA.

Back in 1983 Duluth leapfrogged UND to get into the NCAA tournament field. (I think there were 8 teams at that time.).
ReplyDeleteStrangely enough the Duluth Athletic Director was on the selection committee.
I think his initials were Bruce McCleod.
We were quit disappointed as the Frozen Four that year was in Grand Forks. We were locked out of it.
Thanks Bruce.
I am surprised McLeod is the commissioner if you do a google search on his name he got himself in a bit of trouble at UMD.
ReplyDeleteI also didn't know about that.
ReplyDeleteAll of this is crazy people being paranoid. If anyone thinks there's a bunch of people sitting in an office in Denver trying solely to screw UND just because the two teams and fanbases hate each other, they're batshit insane.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone infered it on this blog I found the post to be entertaining.
