NCHC Preseason Poll
1. North Dakota – 181 points (12 first-place votes)
2. Miami – 167 (9)
3. St. Cloud State – 151 (4)
4. Denver – 117 (0)
5. Minnesota Duluth – 112 (0)
6. Omaha – 73 (0)
7. Western Michigan - 67 (0)
8. Colorado College – 32 (0)

Let's see, with 25 voters, Colorado College had seven or fewer 7th place votes. Poor Tigers.

Thanks for the sympathy from all Tigers fans. This year will be different.

In the first year of a new league why is anyone surprised that attendance figures go down? Especially since Miami fell on hard luck last year during the regular season...

UMD broke their highest attended game record twice. Last year was also one of the highest attended years ever. It probably was the best attended year ever but I can't recall if it was or not.

That's not true. Wisconsin has 6 as well. It is true only 3 teams have 7 or more titles and 2 reside in the NCHC.

Whoops.

Mea culpa.

For any old WCHA team in the NCHC attendance should not have changed/been even better from excitement of a new conference and the tradition of seeing their traditional foes come into town. For new comers like WMU and Miami, their fans are getting adjusted to seeing a new competition selection and thus may not be as interested the first year.

So since there doesn't seem to be a UMD thread, I post here. Why does the UMD hockey team always use a two-tooth dog logo on their jerseys when the university logo has three teeth? Is this some weird superstition or has just no one noticed? They've been doing it since the mid-2000s.

And it's not just the men's team.

The third (middle) tooth appears to be on all the jerseys you showed. It just appears to be yellow in color. Probably plaque buildup.

A subtle nod to DHG, I'd bet.

True. Just wanted to point that out

I have no clue why. Just a manufacturing glitch that no one has cared to fix? I don't know of a known explanation.

Most hockey players are missing teeth.
It seems only logical that their hockey logo would be missing one.

I figured out why you'd use the verb nod in relation to DHG. Just sayin ...

I've noticed this too, and this is my guess. You'll notice there's a small gap in the black outline on the yellow tooth too. I've seen some screenprinted replica jerseys with the "missing" tooth also.
