2012-2013 North Dakota Hockey: Season Thread

Hello North Dakota fans! I'm thinking about making the trip to Grand Forks for the BU series Nov 2/3... and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on what to do (besides hockey) while I'm there. It's looking to be a fairly expensive trip so I wanna make it worthwhile. Anything you guys could suggest would be helpful!

If you get a chance, tour the Ralph. It's by far the most significant building probably in all of North Dakota and learning about all the detail in it is pretty neat.

Here's the Hearald Article...

While we certainly had the upper hand (Evers is coached by future Sioux Recruit Chris Wilkie's Dad), it's nice to see North Dakota land a player that had interest from some other top notch schools.

Herald Article said:
Evers, who is currently playing for the Omaha U16 AAA team, also had interest from Nebraska-Omaha, Minnesota, Minnesota-Duluth, Michigan and Western Michigan.

...

Evers, who grew up in suburban Des Moines, said his father played hockey, so that’s how he got his start. He followed the Gophers a little bit growing up, but eventually became a UND fan.

Once I got old enough to figure out what mattered, my favorite team was always North Dakota,” he said. “North Dakota is one of the best organizations in the United States. The coaching staff is amazing. I can’t wait.”

I know that this is basically what every recruit says, but I particularly enjoyed this wording...especially because the kid is 15-16 years old. :p:D:D

You're probably not going to find a lot to do, at least in the traditional sense. Grand Forks is a pretty small city. There's a UND football game in town that day. You could probably score some tickets fairly cheap, and if you just show up ahead of the game there may even be tailgaters willing to share some pretty good food with you.

At least the deer hunting season doesn't open until the following weekend, so you'll be spared the sight of a dead dear tied over the hood of a '98 Oldsmobile driving down the street (no, seriously).

The Parrot's Cay is a beer and burger bar on the south end of town that specializes in creole cooking, I highly suggest getting the Parrot Boil with shark style wings. My friends and I go there every home series and it never disappoints (they open at 4:30pm and I suggest getting there right away so that you can sit). You probably will want to take a tour of the rink and you can find the times for their tours on the REA website. Depending on where you are staying buses run from a number of bars and restaurants to and from the game and that is the best way to travel. Have fun and enjoy the games.


Spend as little time as possible in ND as you can. The MN border is not far and when in MN you will see beautiful landscapes that include trees, lakes and actual changes in elevation. You will also be able to converse with people that have all their teeth and can speak without grunting. Not to mention indoor plumbing is not considered a premium upgrade in MN but comes standard.

I love the fact that he is a smooth skater already. No need for anymore Joe Finleys. I still have nightmares of him dressed as an orange pylon.

I don't know the recruiting landscape well enough to make a guess as far as how far "interest" goes along, but the kid was only 15-16 years old when he made his visits. Again, I don't know the recruiting landscape intimately, but I wouldn't imagine many 15-16 year old kids are making a lot of visits to colleges.

Either way, it is a big get, and I'm sure the school's on that list would have been pleased to get him. That being said, we'll see how well he develops, and he is a 2015 or 2016 recruit...if he continues to grow to potential, I'm sure MJ will be after him as well.

Wait, you have women?

Really, it comes down to how you define "women". Also, the "women" they do have should be judged on a North Dakota scale to be perfectly fair. A Minnesota 3 could easily be a North Dakota 8 or 9. You just have to consider where you are before put on number on the "women" and you also have to decide how low you will settle. :p;)

Fair enough, but you also have to consider that large and constant supply of underserved Minnesota women flowing into NoDak on a daily basis. Women have to decide how low they will settle too.

They must see the $$$$ flowing in those oilfields and decide to settle.:D
