I like most am tired of election commercials on my TV... I am also ready for this election to be over... I am also sure that there are many of you that are also tired of of the commercials and the elections mailings that you have to throw away every day as well. So since it’s an election year, I thought that I would see
what UND has done in hockey during the presidential election years.
UND won NCAA titles
during the 1980 and 2000 Presidential election years, both years there was a
Republican president elected to the presidency, both times UND won the title in
Providence, Rhode Island.
