Saturday pontifications

Here is an up date on the Bemidji Regional Event Center will be the new home of the BSU Beavers. The Sioux and Beavers will open the new BREC next season the 15th and 16th of October 2010. This will also be the Beavers first home WCHA series.

The Fighting Sioux will also play UMD in the Hall of Fame game December 30th 2010 in the new DECC. Next season is going to be an exciting time in the WCHA, there will be two new teams; two teams in the WCHA will be opening brand new hockey arenas. Incidently, the UND Fighting Sioux will be opening both of these new buildings. Let's hope UND can prove to be good guests by starting both teams off with loses. :) Obviously, that is easier said than done because both teams are tough to beat on their home ice.

Julie Robenhymer brings luck to the Fighting Sioux

Julie Robenhymer from hockey buzz attended last night's hockey game between the Sioux and the Bulldogs. I tweeted this after the Sioux went up 2-0.

@JulieRobenhymer you seem to have brought some luck to the Sioux.

Here was her reply.

RT @goon48 you seem to have brought some luck to the Sioux - yet to be seen!! they're 0-6 in games I've attended, although none at home...

Yeah we can't lose all the games she watches UND play in right? You have to figure the law of averages will pick up for the Sioux right? Now they are 1-6 with the former Miss New Jersey watching us.

UND power play on fire

Since Brett Hextall returned from his leg injury last weekend the Fighting Sioux's power play has recovered from their 0-32 winter doldrums to go an impressive 8/17 in the last three games. Also, Hextall himself has been on fire scoring 10 points in his last 6 games.


Closing an Arena

My Friends Scott Williams and Moose Richards from the Hockey Show break down the final series in the John Glas Field House, against the Niagara University Purple Eagles. Close one down and open another one. The guys are right the John Glas Field House is not adequate for division one hockey. [Click to listen]
