The nine players selected this year matches that of 2018 for Minnesota State Moorhead, the other 8-win season. Though the 2025 squad has more first team...

[IceBoxDragon]

Wonder if the NSIC would ever consider a West-East split instead? That could get Duluth and Mankato on one side with Augustana and Sioux Falls on the...

[IceBoxDragon]

Would have loved for the Dragons to have snuck into the playoffs but I get it. Wish the Northern State game had gone differently. It is what it is. Still...

Sioux Falls at Concordia-St....

[IceBoxDragon]

Mavs extend their lead, 28-14. Vikes need a big response....

[IceBoxDragon]

I'm wondering how PPV would work, as the NSIC Network isn't really the production of the broadcasts, but rather just the hosts. The actual games are done...
