For those wanting to see the new rink, on the whole. You can see the new 8 man ref system.

Good to see they've been working on the Wall of Fame.

Someday they'll do something with the other end, but for now I'd rather they save up and buy a new scoreboard.

Scoreboard is next on the docket, probably within the next two off-seasons. The Misfits E-board has already saw some of the ideas for the eastern end of the rink.

One thing that really bugs me is the silver of the suite exterior, it does not blend well at all and looks really weird. I think black would look much better.

They started bringing silver tones in when they renovated the press box. Black would draw too much attention to the suites architectural, when the focus is supposed to be the rink and fans.

I believe this is what you meant.

In that case, maybe the players should wear silver.

Tech should recruit BrettFavre. Nothing draws attention like the Silver Fox.

I don't care what the theory is, it looks like crap. Right now it just doesn't fit in with the rest of the rink, therefore drawing attention it any way.

For everyone's info, my source with the department tells me that the AD will be meeting with Russell at the end of the year for a 'serious discussion' about the program's direction. Interpret that as you will, but the word is that Russell has lost a couple of recruits that he was aggressively targeting, due to the program's losing ways.

Just keeping the people informed. Over n' out. :cool:

We haven't seen much on the recruiting front. The last commitment was from Dennis Rix on 11/5/09. In total 5 recruits are intent on coming in with 4 (maybe all 5) slated for next year. This does point towards Russell losing out on some of the guys he was targeting and having to go to plan B.

Bringing them right in from Hancock HS? ;)

Seriously though, I can't imagine the team's play and results are helping to woo even the B-list recruits we're trying to compete for.

Dee Stadium hockey stories? You want Dee Stadium hockey stories? Boy, are you ever gonna get loaded down!


How ‘bout those wonderful times prior to that black day when the Fire Marshall decided that 3,000 rabid toots packed in to the 1,500 seats were too many for safety? The place would literally rock on its foundations!


How ‘bout the time when the Minnesota-Duluth star forward (whose name I will not Huffer to say) had enough of bruiser defenseman Norm Wimmer picking on him all night and busted his stick over Norm's head? If Gary Bauman had been in goal, the Duluth star would have gone home in two pieces; he was lucky that Phil McVitty was very mild-mannered (but Phil still almost took his head off with his goalie axe).


How ‘bout “Frenchy” Lacrosse, the most hated ref ever to skate at Dee? One night, after a particularly bad call, a dead cat flew out of the stands to land at Frenchy’s feet. Due to the density of the packed-in crowd, “security” (such as it was) couldn't make it to the offending fan (actually,

everybody was too busy watching the flying cat to see who tossed it).


How ‘bout that Tech Band playing Blue Skirt Waltz, the “Copper Country Anthem” and all 3,000 of us swaying back and forth, arm in arm just before the start of the 3rd period. How 'bout the fans chanting "We Want TEN" the night that our boys scored their 7th unanswered goal against the Wolverines?


Dee Stadium was a place that filled those long LONG winter nights with excitement.

I am hearing that Bolduc was vomiting in the hallway as he was being helped to the locker room.
