Only some players??? :confused:
The rest better get on board fast and start playing like professionals.

If players don't feel like their college hockey program is the next step up towards pro hockey then either: 1) the program is not an elite college program; 2) the program needs fixing; or 3) the players need to have an attitude adjustment.

I couldn't find a Big Ten "rule" online banning alcohol sales, so I doubt one exists. Especially since a majority of schools sell it in the premium seating areas.

There is no ban...and guess what I never said there was one. I just said no Big Ten school allows it, which they don't. Do a google search of the law that was passed in Minnesota and you will get all the information you need about it.

But just so there isnt any confusion...this has nothing to do with the premium seating...that is aok. The Big Ten frowns upon selling it to the regular fan with a ticket and so no school does it. Suites are fine, club level is fine but regular seats not so much. The Minnesota State Legislature said that is BS and made a rule against such policies at campus arenas and the U decided not to buck the trend of the Big Ten so they banned alcohol everywhere.

IMO much of that has to do with the "entitlement" attitude that some players have developed for various reasons and consequently view the Gopher program as just a stepping stone to the pros.

The U isn't anymore of a stepping stone to the NHL than UW or UND and yet they seem to suffer less from this phenomenon. Taking pride in the "M" starts with the player but is reinforced by the coaches and alumni, and I don't think there's been enough of the latter.

What's surprising to me about this statement is that most of Minnesota's players are from the state and they spend their childhoods rooting for the Gophers.

I would think that would endear them more to the program / school....such that this would eliminate the phenomenon you reference.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*warning -- if you want blue sky touchy-feely, ducky’s and bunnies Gophers talk then you probably need to need to stay over on GPL where you can have sleepovers and pillow fights and talk about which Gopher player you want to marry. Over here we’re going to start talking about Gopher Hockey like men.

Buckle up……

No.....it's actually the "Big fish, little pond" addiction. Maybe their mother never told them they loved them or they weren't hugged enough as a kid, name your cliche. Bottom line....a God in a s**t-hole is still a God. Most hockey superstars at other top schools could walk thru downtown in full gear and people wouldn't know them if they read the name on the back of their sweater.

The cougar hunting alone would be worth it for most kids....

You are going to have to start making sense for any of us to get what you are talking about.

So...if Rinkpig is Huey, and Jockstock is Louie, I'd say the unholy trio is complete now that you've graced us with your presence.
