Was just wondering if anyone on this board attended any of the college hockey regional in Sioux Falls. If so, was any played at Midco? Just wondering if Augie Hockey got any exposure by way of the regional being in Sioux Falls or not with the new hockey arena.

I just checked and the regional does return to Sioux Falls in 2026, but UNO will also be hosting that one.
I know regionals are not well-loved by the fans, but Sioux Falls is an exception - great event and highly recommended.
EDIT: Also, USF was playing SCSU at the Birdcage which is effectively in the parking lot of the Denny, so I got to see some pretty decent NSIC baseball before heading in on Saturday. Handful of other hockey fans came by as well.Last edited by SW_Mustang; 04-01-2024, 11:07 AM.

Speaking of college hockey, it's gonna' be hard to top last year's D1 final. That Quinnipiac win over Minnesota in OT was something else. Very exciting! These are the Frozen Four teams this year (Boston College, Michigan, Denver and Boston University).

Was a busy weekend, anybody notice the Golden Eagles of UCM had to move their home series against Augustana to Sioux Falls because of weather or field conditions. Well the War Damm Eagles swept Augie 9-8 9-5. on Sat. Vikings getting swept on their home field rarely happens, UCM Jake Hjelle 6-8 and 6rbi in 2 games.

Watching the Goofers get bounced was awesome. I wore my Stampede jersey since I didn't have anything BU on it to support Sam Stevens. Jaxon Nelson got the biggest reception of the night from the Cardinal, Gopher, and Herd faithful - which was kinda neat though. I do like that guy.
Kinda crazy that both captains for the Goofs are from SWMN, which is the least hockey-crazed part of MN.
I hung around a bit after the game until BU was off the ice - their pep band blasted music through the convention center hallway as they left (which I enjoyed). Before anyone complains about them being rude, SF Arena was hosting quad/lawnmower racing at the same time which was far more loud.

Speaking of Augustana Hockey - I checked to see how their first year went down. They finished 12-14-4 with a couple of statement wins, including one over #16 Arizona State University in January. They also tied #2 Denver 5-5 (and unofficially won 6-5 in the shootout).
I saw them play three times - twice at the DSPC against the Minnesota State University Mavericks, and once at Midco Arena against Ferris State University (which was a great game). Four of their inaugural roster members have already signed professional contracts.
One tidbit - and I'm probably the only one that will find this interesting, but in their season closing series against the USNTDP, Caleb Heil was in net for the U-18s. Heil is the goalie for Sioux Falls and was on loan for that series only.
I'd say that is a successful first year. I'll be curious how they do next year when they are formally admitted to the CCHA.

In a celebratory mood this morning - Jaxon Nelson becomes the first hockey player from an HS in Southwest Minnesota to sign an NHL contract.
He's only the second hockey player from SWMN to sign a professional contract at any level - his HS teammate Chaz Smedsrud signed an ECHL deal 3 days ago (and got his first goal against the Rapid City Rush).
