Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

MSU was not given the Sioux Falls nod yesterday - will instead go to Loveland, CO. Sioux Falls is getting UND, Merrimack, Quinnipiac, and Providence.

Sioux Falls people will note Ethan Wyttenbach for Quinnipiac, which has my rootin' interest this week.

I-29 will be busy with traffic from the north. Those east coast teams don't travel well, so Sioux Falls will be all Hawks fans, at least 75%.

It would be interesting to see if Merrimack, Quinnipiac and Providence even sell their allotment of tickets.

My hope is that it draws a large local contingent - especially on Saturday, though those folks will come for UND as well. Last go around was a lot of fun, but we also had the Goofs, the other Mavs, and Macklin Celebrini. Easy to draw people in Sioux Falls with that lineup.

I actually saw a thread on Facebook where Goofer fans were blaming Governor Walz, license tabs, taxes, the new flag, and whatever else they could. Maybe it just comes down to the Goofer job isn't what it used to be. Coyle has tried to turn the U into a football/basketball school, and hockey has been pushed aside.

As much as I despise Facebook it does provide wonderful content such as that. I understand that football drives a lot of revenue but in my opinion they should devote more to hockey and basketball both men and women. Women had the arena packed for their games over the weekend and the men should be a tournament regular soon enough. Hockey speaks for itself.

Mavs will have a rematch of their double OT loss to Western Michigan. They were one hit goal post from the upset.

The region also has the two most recent national champions in Western Michigan (2025) and Denver (2024).

Minnesota State's Tristan Lemyre was a member of both those teams.

Not sure where else to share this so I'll share it here - but Minnesota State sophomore pitcher Braden Grimm was arrested for assaulting a female police officer and is currently in the Blue Earth County jail.

There is a video of the arrest and the injury to the officer is quite visible - fourth degree assault seems a little light (but I'm not a law expert).

His roster page 404's so I assume he's off the team (as he should be).

11 stitches is what I'm hearing now. Unreal.

Brett Larson from SCSU is the new Goofer Men's Hockey coach.

And the Goofer Women hired Greg "Boom" May.

Who takes over St Cloud?

Who takes over St Cloud?

I have seen Strand's name thrown around.... Not what you want to hear, but SCSU just broke concrete on a $13 million upgrade to the NHC.

Interesting-have not really heard anything. In many interviews he's emphasized the Mankato community as being a huge factor for the program. I wonder if St Cloud provides that much support.

I hear Bob Motzko is available. Time to run it back.

While we're at it - UST hires UMD's Mandy Pearson.

I'd have to imagine the only real benefit to taking the SCSU job at this point is to be able to put "NCHC Head Coach" on one's resume.

The Huskies can try to polish that turd of an arena all they want, but it doesn't change their financial situation and a lot of legitimate concerns about their viability long term.

I don't follow the Huskies at all but I can't imagine that's a big enough step up for a guy like Strand. Hope I'm not naive.
