    Really? That is screwed up.

    The Herb Brooks National Hockey Center..... I wonder who originally came up with that.

      It is very difficult to sustain a serious out of conference rivalry, as we've witnessed with Tech/NMU, though I was not aware that you guys had been planning to take a break from playing us.

      With four games a year, conference points on the line, and the opportunity to face each other in the conference playoffs, the Tech/NMU rivalry should heat up again in the new WCHA.

        No Trailer Park Boys fans? This is disappointing.

          I can't think of a motivation to do so.

            Minnesota State-Moorhead announced plans today to start a D-I hockey program. They have to secure the remainder of an endowment. They did not set a date to begin skating. They did say that they could afford "the best coach money can buy." They also did not specify which league they would seek entry into and that Moorhead AD Doug Peters had not spoken with Bruce McLeod. He did have conversations with the other Minnesota D-I hockey schools.

              What a week.... I hope that this chain of events lights a fire under some player's rears honestly... Use the next 2 years to go out and show that NMU is here to stay.... Can't wait for Oct. 7th to get here... I can only imagine the fun that Madison is going to be this year

                  What weekend are you guys in Madison? I can be convinced easily to cheer against the badgers at any time...
                  MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

                  Surrounded by Badger Red in Wisconsin. Such an ugly color, but the beer and cheese are delicious...

                          While the news of players choosing the CHL over NCAA is sad for college hockey as a whole, here's a good article detailing just where NMU needs to step up it's promotion of the sport. NMU may not be a "premiere" school, but we certainly are good at developing players with a track record for the NHL:

                          http://slightlychilled.areavoices.com/?p=779

                          More than a college education needs to be touted. Development needs to be touted. Success stories from college need to be touted.

                          And here's where NMU needs to get on Twitter, Facebook, it's own website and toot its own horn.
                          Alumni under Walt Kyle seeing NHL ice time last season: Mike Santorelli (FLA), Nathan Oystrick (StL), Mark Olver (DEN), Erik Gustafsson (PHI).
                          Alumni under Walt Kyle who saw AHL level ice time: Ray Kaunisto, Brian Stewart, Dusty Collins, Dave Bonk, Geoff Waugh, along with Oystrick, Olver, and Gustafsson.
                          Dozens more alumni playing professional hockey with a shot a climbing up the ladder to the AHL and NHL.

                          We're not a premiere school, but we're going to develop you into one hell of a professional player.

                            Is there still an exhibition game during the weekend of Oct. 1-2, I noticed it was taking of the schedule and a game on Dec. 30 vs Russian Red-Stars was added. I can't imagine not playing an exhibition for the first game.

                                Well, I know it's early, but I was wondering if anyone was planning on making the trip down to Madison in October.... As of now, myself and some friends will be making the trip... Just thought I would throw it out there so maybe we can get a group together and outcheer the Kohl Center
