Shane Pinto is coming back!

Assuming hockey is played at some point in 2020-2021, North Dakota should have an excellent chance at putting itself in line for a #1 seed and a shot at hanging #9!

If there is a next season.

If there is a next season.

Unless you are suggesting that collegiate hockey will never be played again, there will certainly be a next season. It may not occur during the 2020-2021 academic year, however.

There will be. Well there better be ****it

I'm with you! Everybody back (except JT) and a great incoming freshman class. This is going to be a special team.

Let's say the season doesn't start until after the new year. Play each conference opponent once (completely randomize home or away but obviously half and half), and dump that NMU series and bring the Gophers in. Can you imagine the atmosphere of that first series back?

They would have to find a way to get inter-conference games going so there's some sort of comparison available for pairwise. By removing the bye in early February, that gives the NCHC the option for 3 weeks of non-conference play.

I don't know how other conferences would do it though.

I could see the end of the season pushed back a month to accommodate more games. Would be crazy trying to reschedule Frozen Faceoff, regionals and national tournament.

How many here are going the Nashville game if it’s still a go by then?

Mrs. sfis and I are going, along with a couple from Seattle (they are a modern version of the Odd Couple - him a UND grad, her a DU grad) and another couple that are friends of theirs. It was encouraging to see the email from the Ralph a few days ago saying the game is still on, but watch for more updates. The next two are scheduled for June 1 and June 15.

We've got a group of eight going (hopefully).

Re: University of North Dakota '19-'20 Season Thread - There's this Tournament in Mar

We are going with 3 other couples and rented a AirBnB place that’s close to downtown. With that said this isn’t good news

Although it's only mid-May, college hockey teams are already starting to call off nonconference road trips that require airplane flights because of anticipated budget crunches due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The first domino has already fallen. Holy Cross has canceled its two-game series at Arizona State.

It won't be the last.

Well this SUX! If all airplane travel away games are cancelled by other colleges then ASU will go from having 14 home games and 20 road games on the schedule, which sucked to begin with, to no home games?????
